The French tried that treatment on some COVID-19 patients, and evidently it made them worse because the French are warning not to put COVID-19 patients on steroids.; 3/23/20, 7:53 PM

Tomcc said...: I've been trying to get a sense of the rate of admits due to the coronavirus. Locally, there's a lot of preparation, but no overwhelming surge in new patients (at least not being reported). The worldometers site suggests that about 5% of the cases globally are "serious or critical"; I assume that's a rough estimate for the number that are hospitalized.; 3/23/20, 8:00 PM

Joe Biden has done his first daily coronavirus 'briefing.' Some of you thought it might include reporters asking questions. It did not. http://ow.ly/wuf650yTfm8

Guildofcannonballs said...: Nobody but hateful New Yorkers could ever support the whole one headlight diversion.

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Saying all is good and nothingness is dead
We'd run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothing left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

This place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
What smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams
I think her death it must be killing me

Hey
Hey
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

Francisco D said...: mockturtle said: I've found, to my surprise, that Spam doesn't taste as bad as it looks. Fried and with eggs for breakfast. Not that bad! It was one of the few canned products left on the shelves the other day.

Spam tastes pretty good, but did you check out the sodium content - not good for me with mild HBP.

I recently snagged a quart of low sodium Vegetable Juice (the only one left). It was awful. The flavor was all in the salt.; 3/23/20, 8:19 PM

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but.......he captured my thinking when he was asked "What if you lose?"

His response was....."What a complete waste of time this will have been!!"

That's the nice way of saying...."I don't like fucking losing!!" I was smitten!!; 3/23/20, 8:32 PM

mockturtle said...: Spam tastes pretty good, but did you check out the sodium content - not good for me with mild HBP.

Actually, the only kind left on the shelf were "25% less sodium". So that's what I bought. Very flavorful but I don't really have an issue with salt.; 3/23/20, 8:48 PM
Ralph L said...: My grandmother lost her sense of smell, so she poured salt on everything, despite her BP of 180. After a mild stroke at 90, she was on a lower-salt diet, which was lowered even more after she broke her femur at 93. Two weeks after she came home, she went back with dizziness from a sodium deficiency. My dad (92) dumps salt for the same reason, but his BP is under 120 and his sodium level is normal. Maybe his intestine is trained not to absorb most of it.; 3/23/20, 8:54 PM

Nichevo said...: Thanks to Nero Wolfe, I am prepared to worship the venerable Smithfield ham. But the one I bought at the roadside stand on a debate trip in high school was so incredibly salty that it could scarcely be eaten. I believe I made attempts to rinse and soak it, but it was still obscenely saline.; 3/23/20, 9:22 PM

Big Mike said...: Time for Deep State bureaucrats to weep bitter tears. There seems to already be a patient who claims to owe his life to hydroxychloroquine down in Florida.

"For five days after catching the disease, Rio Giardinieri, 52, experienced horrendous back pain, headaches, cough and fatigue. Once diagnosed with the coronavirus and pneumonia, he was put on oxygen in the ICU, but after more than a week, he was told by doctors there was nothing more they could do. “I was at the point where I was barely able to speak and breathing was very challenging,” Giardinieri said. 'I really thought my end was there.' Giardinieri even said goodbye to his wife and three children.

But, after receiving an article on hydroxychloroquine from a friend, he contacted an infectious disease doctor about it.

'He gave me all the reasons why I would probably not want to try it because there are no trials, there’s no testing, it was not something that was approved,' Giardinieri told Fox 11 in Los Angeles. 'And I said, ‘Look, I don’t know if I’m going to make it until the morning,’ because at that point I really thought I was coming to the end because I couldn’t breathe anymore.'

'He agreed and authorized the use of it and 30 minutes later the nurse gave it to me,' Giardinieri continued.

He received an IV with the medicine, and despite some episodes he experienced during the treatment, by morning it was 'like nothing ever happened.' He's had no fever and has no trouble breathing anymore. He expects to be discharged from the hospital this week. 'To me, there was no doubt in mind that I wouldn’t make it until morning,' said Giardinieri. 'So to me, the drug saved my life.' ”; 3/23/20, 9:33 PM

walter said...: https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2020/03/23/david-lat-undergoing-experimental-drug-therapy-his-husband-says/

In an interview on March 18, Lat said that he’s generally been a very healthy person. He’s run two New York City marathons and until recently did intense interval training each week and walked about 25 miles a week, as well. He did note, though, that he has exercise-induced asthma.

According to Shemtob, 36, the doctors at NYU Langone on Saturday or late Friday prescribed Lat a Z-Pak (azithromycin) and the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine. They also are treating him with an IL 6-inhibitor to fight the inflammation of Lat’s lung; 3/23/20, 10:18 PM

Lewis Wetzel said...: Last night, on another thread (obviously), I praised Connie Willis's sci-fi novel Doomsday Book(1992). The book has won quite a few awards. I enjoyed reading it. It was entertaining. What makes it entertaining, and what makes it a masterwork, is Willis's combining of story threads. Part takes place in the 21st century. Part takes place in the 14th century. One thread is a straight sci-fi thread about time travel. Another thread is a historical romance. Another is a tragedy. Another is a comedy (the 21st century timeline has a happy ending, while the 14th century timeline is a tragedy). There are other threads as well.
But it is not literature, at least not when compared to Browning's The Ring and the Book. I'm not sure why this is, but Browning is a genius. Willis is a skilled story-teller.; 3/24/20, 1:29 AM
