MOPanfisher Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I suspect the reason some pundits are saying respirators aren't working because the red blood cells aren't carrying the O2 as effeciently. That is likely true, however what the ventilators dons force relatively pure oxygen into the lungs instead of room quality air which is much lower in O2, so they don't have to be as efficient to carry enPugh O2. Much like having an O2 bottle or O2 concentrator feeding you higher level oxygen when you have COPD etc. The entire game right now is support the body, and treat symptoms, prevent othe infections and the body has to fight the virus on its own. Other therapies such as anti-body etc may have a lot of promise and are being pursued by a lot of labs. As an aside since I am a curious feller, while I was at last Dr. Appt I asked why anti viral drugs like Acyclovir, which I have been given and will get again to treat and prevent Shingles virus infection, aren't being used. Dr. Explained that Acyclovir is very specific to Shingles and doesn't really have much effect on other viruses. I didn't get into the list of HIV anti vorals because I simply don't even know enough to ask questions. However I do have a great trust in doctors, not as much th medical system, (but that is a whole mother conversation) but drs and nurses and research. I guarantee that there is a lot of expirimentimg going on in university labs, govt labs and private labs to find a treatment that really works well. I do think some will be found, but it does take time, and of course the gold standard will be an effective, produceable, afford able vaccine. What I have learned from my medical situations is NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. tjm and Terrierman 2

Was going to go fishing but the wind needs to settle down. Now get back to Coronavirus I’m having a problem with allergies tearing me up people would swear I have Coronavirus. oneshot Yep, when the pollen is really bad, like it is now, I get a runny nose and my eyes itch. It's really bad when I first get out of bed in the AM, but isn't too bad during the day. Needless to say, if you're hacking and coughing around people it will probably spook them. Just have to maintain distance if you can.

fishinwrench Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I find it odd that we are always at "war" with invisible things. Why can't we have a war on ticks, or a war on 4-stroke outboards, or a war on millennials that won't get a job? Nope, it always has to be something that we wouldn't even know existed if it wasn't for the news outlets telling us about it.
tjm Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 You know if the news outlets only reported real stuff and kept to the truth; they would have to say "welcome to the weekly news report" and we'd have 50000 more unemployed news actors/performers?

Well if the news was all unbiased then it would definitely help us as a society to know something we didn’t know existed and we could make up our own minds!
