kingseanjohn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Just found out that my great aunt got COVID-19. She's in an ICU in Texas where she lives. She has a DNR and has said she doesn't want to be put on a ventilator. We aren't super close but it still hits home a little. She had an unrelated surgery and apparently got it at the place where she was doing physical therapy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtait93 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 So I’ve recently been seeing this story circulating of a 7 week old who apparently died from the coronavirus https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200403/first-baby-in-connecticut-dies-from-covid-19 Only to read on the second to last paragraph, “A full investigation is under way to determine the cause of death.” Uhh I’m sorry what? The title of WebMD’s article is literally, “First Baby In Connecticut Dies From COVID-19.” And this isn’t just a WebMD thing...stories are littered everywhere saying the death is from coronavirus only to go on and say they’re still determining the cause. We need to understand that State Health Departments are NOT medical examiners. They should not be the ones recording COVID-19 deaths. With the death rates being manipulated and the CDC giving license for doctors to lie if they so choose under their Vital Statistics Reporting Guidance, there needs to be an audit of all death certificates related to COVID-19. I’ve personally read and listened to quite a few stories of coronavirus being listed as the cause of death on people’s death certificates when it was not the cause at all. We need to take caution obviously as it’s definitely a serious virus, but my goodness the manipulation and fear mongering all over the place like the story linked above is complete and utter BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagabears Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 @TLO, @mission27, Spain is looking better by the day. Infections seem to be leveling off. 3577 infections yesterday & 517 deaths. What is really polarizing is that of our 17,489 recorded deaths 9900 are from nursing homes alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are obviously issues, and the numbers aren't 100% accurate. However, when you're dealing with statistics at this level, there's bound to be some error. It's really not worth the trouble to do an audit of every death potentially related to this virus. The doctors are doing the best they can, with the limited time and resources they have. As for the family - i'm sure they don't care whether it was COVID or something else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizeGuy Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) https://www.todayonline.com/world/coronavirus-could-attack-immune-system-hiv-targeting-protective-cells-warn-scientists On the surface, this looks like a major concern. COVID-19 invades T-cells similar to HIV, but with one key difference- it cannot replicate infected cells like HIV. That's huge. If that were true, we'd have a HARD time finding a cure for this virus + I believe that's what make HIV a lifelong disease, though someone much smarter than me will have to confirm) @Shanedorf. This may mean some HIV medications could be used against COVID-19, which is another +. The major concern is- Coronaviruses will likely be a virus that will plague us in the future, and it's getting awfully close to becoming a super virus. Luckily, COVID-19 seems to mutate extremely slow, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous knowing this virus can inhabit T-cells... **** it! Wipe out the bat population, and have NBC play every Batman movie ever created for a day in remembrance!
