| Topic | I don't want to imply that Covid 19 isn't a big deal but |
| MaddenDude-- 01/30/21 9:25:45 PM #21: | I treat covid patients every day in the ICU. I can tell you anecdotally that a large chunk of our ICU patients are between mid 20s and mid 50s. Certainly much more than there were in April. Back in April I had a few young patients in their 20s and 30s...they were morbidly obese (BMI 50+) with untreated sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Right now the 20s-50s people are just normal people. Its scary cuz we see ourselves in these people. Just normal body, maybe some high blood pressure being treated with 1 pill, no diabetes, no other medical problems. And when I say they're sick, I mean they are pretty much on maximum ventilator settings and/or ECMO. Its honestly scary. --- I am Dan_Haren ... Copied to Clipboard! |
