Are we going to have to change our definition of "asymptomatic" COVID to distinguish between self-reported "feels fine" and actually no symptoms? About half of the "asymptomatic" cases on the Princess Diamond show ground-glass abnormalities in lung scans. https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ryct.2020200110">https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.11...
Also, as a scuba diver myself, this is both fascinating and terrifying. An ER doc in Germany, who is a diver himself and in the middle of a hot spot, finds that young/healthy COVID recovered divers.. cannot be cleared to dive. They feel healthy but aren& #39;t. https://www.wetnotes.eu/tauchen-nach-covid-19-erkrankung/">https://www.wetnotes.eu/tauchen-n...
Notice the similarity between what the ER doctor in Germany is saying in the above link with what @airwaycam recently wrote in the NYT. The patients don& #39;t feel the distress but they are, in reality, suffering gravely from lack of oxygen. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/opinion/coronavirus-testing-pneumonia.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/2...
Well, perhaps someone can finalize the terminology! What I mean is that asymptomatic and "is okay" are far from identical for this disease. https://twitter.com/flavagoodtime/status/1253440246114639874">https://twitter.com/flavagood...
Yikes, also sorry! Yes, AUSTRIA. https://twitter.com/trombosit/status/1253440829600993280">https://twitter.com/trombosit...
It& #39;s possible a lot of the early clinical advice will change. This is really hard, a novel virus, complicated clinical picture, so many unknowns. Need patient follow-up protocols in place ASAP, too. Bet so many long-term issues possible. https://twitter.com/BrentAWilliams2/status/1253439187812069376">https://twitter.com/BrentAWil...
