I’m about to get the nasal molecular COVID test and the serological antibody test which gives a result in 5 mins.

I’ll update with results. I don’t have any real symptoms besides normal hay fever allergies. I did have extreme chills and fevers in December when I visited Spain & Portugal.

A couple of things:

I seen a few changes over the last week. Most pharmacies, rather LTC or hospital infusion are now treating plaquenil as a CII narcotic because there has been a lot of internal theft around the country. Its a high potency drug, and lupus patients and those who suffer from seizures have been selling it. Its the same thing happened to Propofol after MJ died..

In dallas the hospitals are broken down by networks, THR(presbys), BHC(baylors), HCA(med citys), and independent units such UTSW, children's/scottish rite, ALL GOT together and a big meeting, it was about 30 of us(MD's, NP'S,PA's & Rph's) in a room sharing info and things of that nature Its a big covid committee along with the CDC as a governing body.

Good news, about 85-90% of patients cross referenced with covid have fully or will fully recover. By cross reference mean you have some places who will do a test and tell you in three days, while others wont even perform a test unless you meet certain requirements. So patients who are getting septum test, x-rays, etc, they are recovering quite well.

The bad news is people are going to ER's with a cough, maybe just a common cold from allergies and they are saying you dont have it and they may be asymptomatic and they are passing it along to people who do have it which a much weaker immune system which has caused all of this. I see a lot of patients with the main underlying issues of some form bronchitis and while others with forms of heart disease.

So instead of ventilators, we have been trying this drug called Albuterol Sulfate 90mcg which is a bronchodilator with low side effects. Over the last week a lot of hospitals in Texas, and too many other states to mention have been using this and having great results. Much better than other drugs.. The CDC and trump are about to push this hard.

Honestly from everything I seen it is a mistake to open things up now. Old habits die hard, and soon as "normalcy" cases will skyrocket again and be even worse. I think now the trajectory is good, much better than it was a few weeks ago. But to save lives you gotta be proactive. We need a build immunity to it and/or some type of fast acting drug to combat mild symptoms from turning major.

I think that is what will happen, and that will work better and give time for a possible vaccine. I think we are 1-2 months of way to getting it stabilized, again this all proactive for the future so we wont have a recurrence.

Also the notion that this like HIV is FALSE. I have paitents who are HIV+ and contracted covid, and then were cleared with no recurrence. And I have seen other patients information in other states as well. What I'm saying there is no concrete patient data that says if you contract it, cleared of it that you are higher chance of getting it again. That is false...

When they say HIV-like I think they mean in that Cov19 attacks T-cells directly. Unlike HIV it dies along with the T-cell and cannot use it to replicate. It enters T-cells via CD147.. Or at least there have been a few reports over the last week which say that is the case.
