@JoeBiden Pretty cool.

Molly Jong-Fast makes a critical mistake in her NYTimes article: people enrolled in clinical studies are subjects not patients. And those how conduct trials are investigators.

As an Episcopal priest I say “Spread the gospel not the virus.” God loves you no matter where you are. Protect others as you would protect yourself.

Did Chris Cuomo on CNN just say “I knew 65 year old nuns who had hands faster than Bryce Lee”?

“But those who stayed on hand died by contagion
and of the labors forced on them by conscience
and the suffers' wistful and heart-rending pleas.
This way all truly good (people) met their death.”

Lucretius (95-52 BCE) De Rerum Natura, Book VI
(Translation by Frank O. Copley)

Viruses can convert cellular energetics from aerobic to anaerobic. They just don’t need much ATP to replicate. Could this factor into why C-ARDS appears different from traditional ARDS?
And why hypoxemia has confusing clinical presentations?

[Vincent J. Kopp @VincentKopp]

Is COVID-19 ARDS different from traditional ARDS with L and H forms? If so call it C-ARDS Type L and Type H. This disease spectrum reminds me of neonatal RDS where the initial high oxygen/pressure ventilation strategy shifted rapidly to a rapid wean of both as compliance changed.

I’m sure there’s a story behind this graffiti on the wall of a bike path bridge over Bolin Creek in Chapel Hill. I’ll just tag it as #cantstopart.

Greetings. After a long silence I’ve resumed posting on my website, Oxygenologist. Check out my post about a 1981 book by Gilbert that gave the then most comprehensive overview of oxygen in print. Hope y’all enjoy this and future monthly posts.
