medyo OT na

kaya dati nag taka ako baket conserved trait ang insulin resistance

if insulin resistance is bad it should have been eliminated by natural selection

but it's conserved coz insulin resistance is good for periods of starvation

humans underwent periods of starvation so if your blood sugar falls to easily patay ka

pero sa modern era where food is abundant insulin resistance is bad

Coronavirus found in air samples up to 13 feet from patients... kaya mahirap ngayon ma-ospital sa may mga Covid19 patients.

kaya this virus is very contagious

ang tatalo lang sa virus na ito pag dating sa transmissibility is measles

it's as easy to catch as the common cold

sino sa mundo hindi pa nagkaka-sipon?

i think eventually most of us are gonna get it

we cannot stay in the house forever

at best we can lower our chances of catching it via social distancing and wearing mask

singapore and hk diverge

singapore and hk diverge

Both countries are experiencing a second surge. Majority from residents coming from other infected countries.

Singapore biggest problem is a mass infection at foreign worker dormitory, where hygiene and crowding are a constant problem.

Singapore didn't use mask seriously nor cancelled school classes... They travelled banned countries and relied on contact tracing.

HK cancelled schools and the general public masked up.

Only recently they encourage social distancing in both countries.

Singapore U-Turns on Wearing Masks as Local Virus Cases Climb

“Wearing a mask may help to protect others, in case you have the virus but don’t know it,” Lee said, noting the World Health Organization and the U.S.’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are also reviewing advisories.

"Hong Kong closed schools much earlier, and also Hong Kong people were wearing masks very early on - these are the two big differences," said Dr Jeremy Lim, an adjunct associate professor at the National University of Singapore's Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, who previously worked for the city-state's health ministry.

"Singapore should have been much stronger with the social distancing requirements," he added. "We really should have started earlier."

Unlike China, which confined the virus to just one province...

US of A already lost control and the virus is hitting across the country.

Unprecedented: US becomes first country to report 2,000+ Covid-19 deaths in SINGLE DAY, breaking global record — RT USA News

The United States has counted more than 2,000 Covid-19 fatalities in the space of 24 hours, smashing all previous daily death tolls worldwide as the US outbreak shows little sign of abating, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Some 2,108 new deaths were reported in the US on Friday, data gathered by Johns Hopkins shows, putting the US total at over 18,600, just shy of Italy’s, the overall leader in fatalities globally.

After Thursday’s casualty count saw a brief drop-off, deaths again surged on Friday, the country’s deadliest day yet.

Attention: weight-challenged people...

Virus appears to strike men, overweight people harder

Early statistics from Britain's independent Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre on people treated in intensive care for the virus confirm this phenomenon: 73 percent are men and 73.4 percent are classed as overweight.

According to preliminary data of outcomes for those patients who had either recovered or died of COVID-19 in the period before April 3, obese patients were also less likely to recover after receiving critical care.

when you're obese, chances are you are a sufferer of what we used to playfully call the "bad gene syndrome".
nowadays, the more scientific term is "metabolic syndrome".

Looks almost the same percentage as the Philippine data on men : women ratio (who contracted the virus.)...

Vs.bmi - maraming overweight....

Nakanino ba ang problema? Seeing Posts sa FB kesyo pasaway daw yung mga tao na namamalengke.

Andali mahusgahan, eh ikaw wala na kakainin pamilya mo shempre you will go out to buy. Basic life need.

Nataon madami yung kagaya mo, nag pang abot kayo sa palengke. Lahat kayo labeled na pasaway. Eh same din naman ang scenario sa groceries.

Baka ang mali eh yung sistema? Yung nasa ibaba to implement order?

Remdesivir update

Two-Thirds of Severe Covid-19 Cases Improved on Gilead Drug

The report published in the New England Journal of Medicine tracked 53 people in the U.S., Europe and Canada who needed respiratory support, with about half receiving mechanical ventilation and four on a heart-lung by-pass machine. Eight additional patients were left out of the analysis: one due to a dosing error and seven because no information was available on how they fared.

All received remdesivir for up to 10 days on a compassionate use basis, a program that allows people to use unapproved medicines when no other treatment options are available. Over 18 days, 68% of the patients improved, with 17 of the 30 patients on mechanical ventilation being able to get off the breathing device. Almost half of the patients studied were ultimately discharged, while 13% died. Mortality was highest among those who were on a ventilator, with 18% of them dying.

Remdesivir, a broad-spectrum antiviral, is viewed by researchers and doctors as one of the most promising agents against Covid-19 to enter human trials to date. In lab studies conducted prior to the Covid-19 outbreak on numerous compounds, researchers at the University of North Carolina and Vanderbilt University found the drug had potent activity against against a wide variety of coronaviruses similar to the new coronavirus.

Doc hear me out hehe

ang theory ko diyan -- since the virus causes acute respiratory distress

those who normally cannot pass a treadmill stress test cannot withstand the serious symptoms of covid (usually obese with cardiovascular disease cannot pass stress test)

serious symptom ng covid ung kakaposin ka na hininga parang pinatakbo ka sa treadmill

kaya kelangan pumunta hospital para ipa-oxygen
