Too what extent? What’s the expected long term issues with doing that? Asking as a lay person.
I will use an analogy, it helps the students understand so I use them a lot but bear with me
When the disease progresses to your upper and lower respiratory tracts, breathing diminishes and the virus seems to start to affect your alveoli and branch. structures. So you start to loose oxygen which is serious and can lead to organ failure -- commonly acute respiratory distress syndrome which can then lead to card. and other other failures in short time in sufficient oxygen isn't coursing the body. So we have no other options at this time but to get oxygen into your system through ventilation. You are correct in that there are issues and some people it is not enough and promotes stress on the body that may exacerbate the condition but we have no other options for some patients. Post-ICU syndrome is something we have to consider and in some cases, even this doesn't seem to work properly. It's all very odd. Patients will do fine and then within hours, are unstable.
Wait, so you don’t want to treat people that follow the president? Or that believe in other treatments? I’m confused, but it sure sounds like you don’t want to do your job because of someone’s beliefs or political followings.
I said if the president knows more than the medical agencies he doubts from who we get our treatment courses, then he can send you instructions for treatment and I will follow them. I am not saying I will not treat Trump supporters, what I said was if they believe he knows more than Fauci and Redford then give me his treatment plans next time you come to the clinic.
"I won't wear a mask because I don't like to be told what to do, and I don't like to be told what not to do. I also look at the data and this is no more scary than the flu, CHF, pneumonia, diabetes, etc. Dont like it? Keep your distance and wash your hands. I do the same sans mask."
If I told you that you carry a gene that gives you 100% chance of having prostate cancer and there is a treatment we can do and a food you have to give up thereafter, would you do it? Or are you against being told you WILL get cancer.
-- important -- alike families who won't vax their children. IDGAF about you - I care about the children who cannot get the vaccine due to medical conditions and shouldn't have to worry about Mumps and Measles since it was basically eradicated but bc this movement it is returning in the US. It is the people who are high-risk and they come into contact with you, while they are masked, and get it. The research has shown (real non pharmaceutical non Trump non whatever) studies that have shown if someone infected is not wearing a mask and you are wearing a mask but the common cloth one -- you are still at fairly high risk of getting infected.
Why do you think masks are common in many populous Asian countries, because they proved it can drastically lower viral spreading.
