Top Virus Doctor Says High Blood Pressure Is Major Death Risk
Patients with hypertension appear to be at a higher risk of dying from the coronavirus, said a top Chinese intensive care doctor who’s been treating critically ill patients since mid-January.
While there’s been no published research yet explaining why, Chinese doctors working in Wuhan have noticed that infected patients with that underlying illness are more likely to slip into severe distress and die.
I've just realized that my idea of keeping a log of who I've interacted with each day -- my own personal "contact tracing" if you will -- is good for more than protecting others if I end up sick -- it's also a good way for me to have documentation of who I had contact with in case THEY end up sick.
I know that sounds obvious but it hadn't occurred to me until just now.
So if, for example, the lady who I see at the yarn store every few weeks, and who travels to conferences and events related to her work, ends up sick, I will know exactly which days I was in the same room as her and whether that was before or after her travel, etc.
I've been making a daily note of my contacts for about a week now. I'm not in an area of known CV cases (yet) but it's only a matter of time. I decided it would be best to establish the habit now. It takes a whopping ten seconds or so each day.
Nice post that made me think hard about..... What would be the difference between a modern day "Quarantine Colony" and an old time "Leper Colony "?.....moo
There was also a Nile River Cruise associated with confirmed cases. There were three other Princess ships that had recently received staff from the Grand not allowed to sail until those crew members are tested. I don’t know if all have been tested yet.Re BBM
I dont know as I have lost track of how many cruise ships actually had cases of this as compared to the ones that were denied port entry and other news about them. The two I am aware of are the Diamond Princess Cruise ship and the Grand Princess ship. Those two for sure had positive cases on board.
LMAOOO I’m sooo sorry this is serious but you made me literally bust out laughing. Oh God I needed that. Wish I wasn’t so visual sometimes. This is not one of those times though. Lol! MOOI just Lysol sprayed the Jimmy John driver who ignored my commands to put it "over there on the food tray" he goes out out of his way to walk all the way over to my desk and proceed to breathe on me ....so I sprayed him , I said it 2x.....hope there's no legal issues but Good lord EVERY building he has been is a risk! POLL AM I CRAZY? I have 2 girls one has type 1 diabetes and asthma and 1 with just asthma, so I dont need you breathing on me !
Ignorance? Uneducated? or sycophant?
