People are stupid

I learned and accepted that 1 month into my residency training.

It's tragic, but there's just no cure for stupidity. I pity the friends and families of unreasonable anti-vaxxers.

HAH! GOT EM!

infallible logic, good sir!

According to a UK study, the average number of days a COVID patient spends in the ICU is 12 to 13 days. Now multiply that approximation with the number of drugs required per day.

Bump.

Guess who created the new revolutionary covid pill.

Donald Trump?

Now please let me purchase some of your finest Viagra"

I guess expecting logical consistency from other human beings is too much.

Show them that picture and theyre going to argue that doctors need to prescribe ivermectin, they dont know why doctors should provide ivermectin its just something someone told them doctors should provide and prescribe

I dont know how the Republican went full blown QAnon and Alex Jones its sort of fucked up, watch the movie Dont Look Up it pretty much describes Republicans

Unfortunately for them, all that's doing is culling their own numbers.

Let's see here: of the ones I can read the labels of on a better quality image, there's a a couple of different analgesics (paracetamol and alfentanil, an opiate), a couple of different sedatives (propofol-lipura and midazolam), muscle relaxant (atracurium in both IV drip and injection forms), antibiotic (piperacillin/tazobactum, unless the patient has comorbid bacterial pneumonia, why is this even here?), anti-inflammatory (dexamethasone), low blood pressure treatment (norepinephrine), Fragmin (blood thinner/anticoagulant, the single most important type of drug for COVID patients), saline and glucose bags, and a feeding tube protein nutrient solution.

So question about loss of taste and smell. Is that as in you cant smell / taste anything at all? What is you can smell/ taste but its faint.

Nothing at all.

I have two doses, was scheduling my booster but caught covid before I could.
I'm currently on day 8 of being ill.
Some things I can taste clearly like garlic, salt, watermelon.
Other things have exactly zero taste (flaming hot cheetos, eggs, Kool aid).
Some things are very faint (coffee, meats, candy).

When I have a cup of coffee it's like making a cup of coffee, then dumping it and filling the cup with hot water. It tastes like the water knew coffee in high school but hadn't really kept in contact.

I have faint smell and taste. I guess thats good. Negative test on a home kit. Not sure how reliable that is. Will be a while til i get a more official test since all appointments are taken.

Which isn't a bad thing.

They are doing more than that. They are allowing covid to mutate faster and spreading it and killing innocents who can not get vaccinated due to medical reasons.

I'm sure it's different for others (even others in this topic).
For me, I'm glad it's not a total loss, as I can just season everything heavily with salt and garlic.

Eh, there's nothing there specifically to treat covid patients. Those are all standard issue meds for every ICU in existence. Fluids, pain, agitation, sedation, paralytics, antibiotics, anticoagulants, etc.

Now if you're talking specifically about treating covid, we're looking at remdesivir, Actemra, Xeljanz, monoclonal antibody cocktails, etc.
