Strict no visitor policy, not even her husband (my friend's brother). That would make me crazy if I were her spouse. That stinks. Hopefully she recovers quickly and fully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 My sister-in-law and niece are covid-19 positive. She's a nurse, her daughter is 15, one of her other daughters, 20, has symptoms, awaiting results on her. The 15 yr old is currently up at Children's, she's being transferred tomorrow to another hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the 15 yr old (Meadow). Mrs. told me an hour ago. The mom (my wife's sister) seems to be holding up. She's 40, so maybe that helps? But I guess Meadow has the cough and fever. Same with her older sister, who is quarantined at home for now. One odd thing, I guess it makes sense though, but once Trish (the mom) went in to the room at Children's with Meadow, she wasn't allowed to leave until they both transfer in the morning. I wonder if that's policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not positive that neither is affiliated there, but that was my impression.) Glad that they seem to be doing well for now. Being young and healthy, the odds are definitely in their favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Prayers to all in the healthcare industry and the patients. BTW, I'm posting a picture that I just took. This is at the Sysco Hampton Roads near Virginia Beach. I have never seen a normally busy place like this look so dead - even in the midst of a "normal" recession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are allowing one visitor for pediatric patients, while that patient is a Person Under Investigation (PUI) to decrease the risk of spread, that visitor is not allowed to leave. I did a dual residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, it was quite common for family members of pediatric patients to spend days if not weeks in the hospital without leaving. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 NYC physician successfully using the French treatment: https://techstartups.com/2020/03/28/dr-vladimir-zelenko-now-treated-699-coronavirus-patients-100-success-using-hydroxychloroquine-sulfate-zinc-z-pak-update/ Quote Last Wednesday, we published the success story from Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, after he successfully treated 350 coronavirus patients with 100 percent success using a cocktail of drugs: hydroxychloroquine, in combination with azithromycin (Z-Pak), an antibiotic to treat secondary infections, and zinc sulfate. Dr. Zelenko said he saw the symptom of shortness of breath resolved within four to six hours after treatment. Now, Dr. Zelenko provides updates on the treatment after he successfully treated 699 COVID-19 patients in New York. In an exclusive interview with former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, Dr. Vladmir Zelenko shares the results of his latest study, which showed that out of his 699 patients treated, zero patients died, zero patients intubated, and four hospitalizations. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My job has been deemed necessary (yay booze) so I haven't missed work either. It makes me question a lot of things. I make ok money but we have a lot of employees in the $15-20 range essentially risking their lives to make booze. My moral compass is starting to resemble Marty Byrde's.

None of the people in the study were hospitalized at the time of treatment? If you believe the anecdotes, the method of treatment is to prevent the fluid build-up and secondary bacterial infections that get you with the immune system overload. Prevents the needs for hospitalization is the point of the treatment. The ventilators help you breathe while you're filled up. They aren't doing much of anything to reverse fluid build-up. But the media is in an active campaign to prevent this $20/person treatment from being widespread. They even banned Rudy Giuliani on twitter and others for making similar awareness posts like our site moderator did. The media who makes 1/2 of their revenue from pharmaceutical ads. Yet, detractors of it are standing on a high-ground where the only acceptable course of action is multi-billion dollar multi-year long clinical trials to get some proprietary treatment protocol tested and approved first. Just silly if you ask me. They've gotten rid of all the red-tape that turned 20$ ventilators into $5000 devices that are in small supply and exposed medical device industry for the con it is. Why the hesitation on drugs that if they actually don't work 100%, nobody but idiots drinking off-label fish tank supplies and ODing on it die from it.

Stoner Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Cuomo just said he'll ask medical staff from upstate to voluntarily work in NYC. He also said no patients have been sent upstate yet. Now I'm wondering if WNY hospitals might get non-Covid patients from hospitals closer to home that are trying to make room for Covid patients from NYC.

nfreeman Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Moved some posts to the politics club. As for the substance/credibility of the link I posted -- this is similar to the treatment that the French have had success with recently, and that @Brawndo (I think) has reported is being used off-label in WNY hospitals.
