For COVID-19 Patients, Could Breathing Easier Be as Simple as Flipping Over?

http://www.bu.edu/articles/2020/covi...ph-lying-prone

One in four patients who arrive at Boston Medical Center (BMC) with COVID-19 go into the intensive care unit (...) there may be a way to keep more patients from needing the ICU’s limited space and ventilators. “It’s as simple as flipping on your stomach”

Years before the new coronavirus emerged, research showed that prone positioning reduced deaths among patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome—the condition that is now often the cause of death in COVID-19 patients.

The idea, Bosch explains, is that the part of the lungs that is best at pulling oxygen into the blood is along a person’s back. When a patient lies on their back, that part of the lungs gets too much blood and not enough oxygen. Prone positioning gives that back part of the lungs a better ratio. “It’s just gravity,” Bosch says.

Maybe we just flip them over

Hair salons in GA now competing for PPE with hospitals.

Have GA seen its caseload peak yet?

too early.

C19 can take up to 7 or more days to grow the virus load to symptomatic level, then 2 - 8 weeks to kill.

Typical Chumpy, not at all interested in the content, just the presenters. And since he waited 7 minutes to respond to the latest, he actually watched part then pretended to guess the contents as a defense to his first knee jerk reponse.

Another display of dishonesty by the dishonest hermit troglodyte.

Why were you unbolded?

The low key manslaughter admission by the guy's wife in that article was striking to me.

The media and people on here couldn't resist blaming Trump for what is increasingly looking like murder. Imagine the joy she had when national narrative blamed the President for her actions.

Thanks for posting this little tip.

It takes awhile for facts to come out. Looks like blaming this one on Trump was hasty.

So Trump merely inspired a murder.

That's...better?

That's what's supposed to happen when testing gets expanded past the sickest and most deserving.

You do know we've been rationing tests, right?

Thanks for posting this little tip.

BU (my alma mater) seems to always put out solid medical research (as simple as this one is). They even have a very good school of public health, in case you want to read their sites / fb page and geek out at the info

Nice site, very detailed levels

Good Nate wants Biden to drop out so Cuomo can take Trump’s lunch. Lol

All states minus NY, NJ and MI sorted by deaths

LA test/death really lagging most other states.

Texas isn't stellar.

Tests in red
Deaths in blue





All states (I think) not including territories

What are we to glance for this?

Are you asking where you can find it or what to glean from it?

I gather from it that some states aren't testing much even if their death totals say they should, and that the top 3 states really skew the overall death rate of the 50 states combined.

The resolution could be better but I resized to keep from breaking the forum.

Thanks, I was wondering what you thought interesting about it. Yeah, testing has been hard to come by, but apparently accelerating now.

I do, however, think some states have yet to ramp up then peak. At least the models being used indicate so. Last I checked pointed to June 1st, to have all states on the lower end of the curve (provided we keep the current stay at home situation).

how many dead will we have by december?

if theres even a solid wave 2 say 200k americans and 5 million worldwide?

By end of July US will have ~150k deaths. The bleed out of this thing is unknown, and what's happening in Italy and Spain is not promising especially while daily new infections are more than the total infections every country on the globe except ~12. If I had to put a guess on Jan 1, 2021 I'd say 270k.
