Go the texas.curativeinc.com Minute Maid Park location is the best place to go (pretty large as well). It's not 'rapid' like in 30 minutes, but you'll get a notification in a day or 2.
Drove by the church by my house Sunday and the congregation was having a tent lunch. Shoulder to shoulder, no masks (maybe some chin diapers). High risk people - old and/or overweight. ....fast forward to Thursday and there’s a drive through COVID testing center set up at the same church. Idiots.
Despite approching a year long of precaution, we had a patient with covid dragged from one place to another in the hospital with high oxygenation flows that generated enough aerosols to shutdown the department, maybe the hospital will shutdown soon too, yai~kes
Our Catholic church does an excellent job of setting up the church for social distancing. You also must have a mask. We have perhaps 50% of the usual crowd. It's not that hard to do. Lots of hypocritical Christians and pastors out there.
I never been to this church but the pastor seems to have some ego/pride **** going on. The church sign had his name on it for a long time, like he was the star of the show.
That 30% of mild cases are well represented in the “long haulers” group. Never sick enough to go to the hospital but not well enough to resume their normal life. Sad truth is that doctors don’t why the longer haulers still have persistent symptoms or if they will ever get back to normal or near normal.
Type O blood linked to lower COVID risk, taking Vitamin D unlikely to help A large study adds to evidence that people with type O or Rh−negative blood may be at slightly lower risk from the new coronavirus. Among 225,556 Canadians who were tested for the virus, the risk for a COVID-19 diagnosis was 12% lower and the risk for severe COVID-19 or death was 13% lower in people with blood group O versus those with A, AB, or B, researchers reported on Tuesday in Annals of Internal Medicine. ... Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to higher risk for severe COVID-19, but high vitamin D levels do not fix the problem. Increasing vitamin D levels in critically ill patients did not shorten their hospital stay or lower their odds of being moved to intensive care, needing mechanical ventilation, or dying, doctors in Brazil found. They randomly gave 240 patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 either a single high dose of vitamin D3 or a placebo. Only 6.7% of patients in the vitamin D group had "deficient" levels of the nutrient, compared to 51.5% of patients in the placebo group, but there was no difference in the outcomes, according to a paper posted on medRxiv ahead of peer review. The same was true when the researchers focused on the 116 patients with vitamin D deficiency before the treatment. The authors say theirs is the first randomized trial of its kind to show that vitamin D supplementation "is ineffective to improve hospital length of stay or any other clinical outcomes among hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19."
Vitamin D is a hormone, so I would not expect shocking the system with VItamin D supplements is going to magically fix a seriously ill person. If I recall correctly, its said Vitamin D helps prevent the body from being overwhelmed.
Just a thought - Chronic Vitamin D deficiency is associated with autoimmune issues. Giving people Vitamin D after they are in ICU may be like trying to treat someone who is in the middle of a heart attack by giving them a healthy low fat low/sodium meal - by the time you are in icu its too late. It was the previous 20 years of vitamin D deficiency that damaged the immune system and caused a chronic problem.
