I'm not sure I'll ever go back to NOLA, and that makes me sad, because my first time there was just a few years back when my wife finally prevailed.  She and her family used to go there every summer, and she swore it was awesome, and I resisted, much the same as her Hawaii recs (although she hadn't been there) . . . in both cases, she was dead on right.

The last time we were there, we checked into Royal Sonesta, and heard a jazz band playing in the lounge.  There was a trumpet leading the band.  My son is a (sort of) trumpet player, in middle school at the time, so I tried to get the family to go listen -- he was the only one who bit.  We were all sorta wiped by the drive from Austin.  I got my son past the door guy with an extra $10 and we checked this band out.  This bandleader was fucking phenomenal.  The whole band was fucking phenomenal.  The trumpet player was probably in his 30s, with long dreadlocks, and just absolutely smoked on his instrument.  I was thinking "why is this guy not ridiculously famous?"  Afterwords, I looked him up -- he's the trumpet professor at UNO (and now Tulane) and has a Grammy award.  So, he is famous, but he's still playing for $5 a head in a hotel bar.  

That city is nuts.  Austin could learn a lot about live music from New Orleans.

To be clear, while these issues might create comorbidities, I haven't encountered any source, at least officials at city and state levels in the US, accounting for them as comorbidities or underlying conditions. It wasn't clear what was being defined early, but if you look at the dashboards for places like Nevada, Mass, NYC, etc., they're explaining what they view as an underlying condition. If you've got sources to point to where some place is including smoking, fatty, drugs, or booze as an underlying condition, please link it because that would be helpful to see and incorporate.

Are you asking for a source that smoking and obesity are leading comorbidities for heart problems? Or specifically relating to HCQ for treating COVID-19?

It’s not incorporated anywhere I’ve seen. But seen at lest a half dozen articles with ER doctors specifically citing that most al of the younger patients seriously hospitalized and dying are obese. I know it’s not cited anywhere but at this point I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that obesity matters. Blood pressure/hypertension goes hand in hand with obesity much of the time and it is listed as a pre-existing condition in at least some of these trackers.

No. He’s asking for a dashboard that actually tracks obesity DIRECTLY as a pre existing condition.

In my prior post, I acknowledged that they help lead to what are actually being "defined" as comorbidities when death tolls are disclosed, but they are not the underlying condition.

There is zero doubt that smoking and obesity are playing a role for COVID problems. I'm merely stating that I haven't seen them used as part of the definition when cities and states release data, and I'm reading the daily data releases from states and cities and even posting about this specifically on this thread at times.

In other words, when you read "Female, Aged 40-49, Underlying Medical Conditions: Yes" as a stat in a death toll, or just the macro stats for death toll numbers, they are not using "Obesity" or "Heavy Drinker" as a condition. They're using, almost homogeneously across the different data sets: diabetes, HBP, heart disease, asthma, prior lung disease, kidney disease, liver disease, dementia, and cancer as what they're counting as a condition.

It's not new information, and I'm sure you know it already, but to re-iterate most of the articles and anecdotes I've seen that tout the success of hydrochloronique have to specifically have it paired with Zinc, which you isn't a problem for the business. That being said, I'm amazed at how often I read that many people testing this aren't combining it with zinc. It's baffling to me. But yes, everything else seems to support you have to take it early one, but once you're in a hospital or having severe breathing problems it isn't going to do much at all. For whatever that is worth moving forward. 

No shit.  Zinc doesn't absorb into the cells all that well by itself, also several common things inhibit absorption.  Chloroquine opens the doors for cell absorption.   Zinc works well against viruses.  Sooo.... let's test chloroquine by itself and see how it works.

Gotcha. Wires crossed between you and me. I was talking about obesity being a comorbidity to heart problems in relation to the French data to show HCQ can cause heart problems, since smoking is a fairly common comorbidity there similar to obesity here.

Checking in for the crazy about redheads but they are fucking crazy club. “Dated” one I met on 6th street for about 3 weeks. Fucked me 4 times the first night we went on a date and told me she loved me. After I broke it off a few weeks later, she called me for months trying to get me to take her back, then invented a stalker she said was lurking outside her place all the time to try to get me to come by in the middle of the night to scare him off. This lasted for months. Hated condoms. Clearly angling to get pregnant. But Jesus, fucked like her life literally depended on it.

Don't know but there's been a lot of internet chatter lately that front line docs are becoming increasingly concerned that ventilators are being over used and are sometimes causing more harm than good. Some patients are seeing massive drops in blood oxygen levels without the normal symptoms like gasping for air. I'll stop there because I honestly don't really know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Bonjour, y'all.

I've mostly kept to myself the last few days for the sake of my sanity in all of this with the exception of creating a crude model to project deaths over the next few days.

It's morbid and disgusting, but my brain needs some sort of reassurance that we're not all going to turn into fucking flesh-eating zombies.

I haven't read the past few pages, but I did spot Brisket mentioning having difficulty with French. I got you, man, and can contribute by assisting with that normally useless skillset whenever you'd wish. It's basically Spanish with some Old Germanic words thrown in, which fucks up the spelling.

Today, I spoke with my big sister for the first time since this all started. She's a PA with a pediatric practice up in the Denver area, and she told me one of her patients was a 12yo girl who was in the hospital right now with this shit. She used the word "liquefied" to describe the state of that child's lungs 

I'm glad that we spoke though. Yesterday, I sent her a text to call our stubborn elderly mother and convince her to stay the fuck home as our mom had still been planning to drive 45 minutes to the next town (with 30-40 confirmed cases) to purchase 8 itmes, including chocolate chip cookie mix, at Sam's that she could easily get closer to home where there's only been one confirmed case in a county of 35,000. My sister told me that she absolutely believes she finally got through to them.

Sorry, guys/gals, for this rambling wall of words. At this moment, y'all are my only outlet whereas elsewhere I have to pretend to be a fully functional adult and productive worker.

Apologies to anyone who doesn't give a damn about New Orleans or its music, but it's quarantine time, so check this out.  It totally showcases what I was saying, and Mr. Parker certainly doesn't win this "battle", although it could be argued he doesn't lose.  It's like the trumpet version of Picasso VS Gaugin.  Two monster players fucking with each other.  Parker has the more ethereal tone, the bigger range, the crazy chops, the angular choices, but Rapa has the better ear, and a gift for context, where he wrings all there is to wring out of whatever motif he wanders into.  He can totally mimic Parker, and with a brassier, more aggressive style.  He's Picasso, Parker is Gaugin.  Picasso used to fuck with Gaugin, painting crazy cubist riffs on Gaugin's original work.  The irony is that Parker is pushing the envelope more.  Regardless, it's happening in one of New Orleans' great clubs, in real time, backed by a band of some of the best players in the world, and they just (appropriately) sit back and watch it play out.  Awesome.

Not unlike what was observed in Italy, I would imagine a disproportionate amount of the people getting tested are the ones who are ill enough to show up at a hospital. That's what, 10-20 percent of overall cases? I'd bet it's a much larger proportion of tests.
