Bill Gates, an uber-wealthy computer guy, says bars and restaurants will need to be closed for 4-6 months. It is painful to watch a computer nerd layout a masterplan for the world, a plan that has absolutely no effect on his life. Why is media asking him?

So. God. Damn. Simple.
At our vaccine clinic, we vaccinated hordes of people who already had Cov as recent as 4-6 wks earlier. Why the CDC wanted to obfuscate is unknown. Vaccine in Feb-March-April was in very short supply. Re-infection w Covid is so rare! And always mild. Dumb

Sadly true. This is called “Death by ventilator”. As a ped anesthesiologist, I avoided at all costs intubating (ventilator) a child w a “cold” as it would worsen their condition, akin to intubating an adult unnecessarily to protect the Dr/RN, yet hurt the pt. It happened!
@sfexaminer
This is Child Abuse. Teen abuse. Sports abuse. Marching band abuse.
We are 10x more afraid of Covid than we should be; it’s ok though.
We have no fear of flu, because we are comfortable w it.
Flu kills more kids (everyone says, “this guy is nuts”). Look it up.

I’m no anti-vaxer, but Mr. Vaccine himself seems very uneasy suddenly.

Milk originates from mammals; almonds are not mammals. Unfortunately, this issue w “almond milk” happens all too frequently in infants and toddlers. Should not be legal to label it as a milk product. Rearing kids is complicated enough.

I have irrational fear that some crazy, well-intentioned moms (dads, too) are wearing mask at home “to protect their newborns”. Imagine the missed smiles/sounds when mom is masked. Make sure your baby sees your face as much as possible. You are not protecting, u r traumatizing.
@kerpen
Bothersome ethically that in March/April, pts were intubated “early” before needing ventilator to protect healthcare workers. It was dumb, wrong and deadly. We’ve had non-invasive ventilator modalities for yrs to avoid intubation.

My biggest fear is coming true. Flu really is worse than Covid for most younger kids. School closures and sports cancellation might return. They shouldn’t have ruined kids’ lives for virus that kills people w median age 78y. Flu happens every yr, so watch what happens in Dec/Jan.

Doctors putting people on ventilators because traditional means of giving oxygen (mask, nasal cannula, CPAP, etc) risked spreading virus to doctors was the low point for me. “Death by Ventilator” was insanity resulting from acute fear.

With mild disease, which includes some element of lung disease, antibiotics are often given as secondary bacterial infection can be deadly. There is no law that keeps a pt from having 2 pathogens; a virus and a bacterium are commonly seen together, hence antibiotics.
