In
the last 3–5 days, a mountain of anecdotal evidence has come out of
NYC, Italy, Spain, etc. about COVID-19 and characteristics of patients
who get seriously ill. It’s not only piling up but now leading to a
general field-level consensus backed up by a few previously little-known
studies that we’ve had it all wrong the whole time. Well, a few had
some things eerily correct (cough Trump cough), especially with
Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromicin, but we’ll get to that in a minute.
There
is no ‘pneumonia’ nor ARDS. At least not the ARDS with established
treatment protocols and procedures we’re familiar with. Ventilators are
not only the wrong solution, but high pressure intubation can actually
wind up causing more damage than without, not to mention complications
from tracheal scarring and ulcers given the duration of intubation often
required… They may still have a use in the immediate future for
patients too far to bring back with this newfound knowledge, but moving
forward a new treatment protocol needs to be established so we stop
treating patients for the wrong disease.
