Subject: Equal Time For Marlowe

Posted by: daver852
Date: Jun 13 12

I will confine my postings to a topic near and dear to my heart, i.e., that the works now attributed to William Shakespeare were actually written by Christopher Marlowe. My intent is to enlighten and inform, and not to disparage anyone holding a contrary opinion. Rabid Stratfordians are invited to shower me with abuse, and I will gladly answer any questions to the best of my ability.

I've just learned today that my brother in law has been diagnosed with Covid 19. He was in hospital having treatment for other issues when he was tested. My sister has been informed that he's getting over it. That's good news. He's 79 years old with lots of health issues.

Daver, that is nonsense.

If anything, the deaths from novel coronavirus-19 have been under reported. Why? Medicare and Medicaid didn't have a code to report death from it. Early deaths were attributed to pneumonia or the good old reliable "heart failure" with COVID-19 or "possible COVID-19" listed as a contributing cause on death certificates.

Why "possible"? Not all patients in ICUs on ventilators were tested for COVID-19 in the the USA. They still aren't being tested for it. There are not enough tests available to test every paitent in the hospitals. There aren't enough tests available to test suspected cases not in the hospitals. The criteria for testing hospital patients is "test them for novel COVID-19 if a positive result will change their care."

You like FoxNews. Even they are reporting this. All of this has been repeated for weeks on the nightly show titled "White House Coronoavirus Daily Update".

Ladies, this has been an interesting discussion, but very much off-topic. However Christopher Marlowe died, he did not die of the coronavirus. So I think we should limit furure posts to the aunthorship issue.

Testing people for coronavirus doesn't change their treatment because their *is* no specific treatment for the virus. The treatment is supportive, and identical to the treatment of any other atypical viral respiratory syndrome. Testing does serve an epidemiologic purpose, but for a given person, it does not change how you treat their symptoms. Viruses in the coronavirus family mutate rapidly. Most likely, by the time a vaccine can complete trials and be scaled up for production, the current strain will no longer be recognizable. Herd immunity and mutation will be the end of this outbreak, not the development of specific COVID-19 therapy.

There is more, much more going on in the world today because of Covid-19 than just the infection.

The ignorance of the President is irrelevant to what is actually happening scientifically here. He is an observer (not a very good one, but probably better than Biden would be) not a real actor in this. He basically does what Fauci and the others tell him.

Well, no one can get him to stop tweeting. Covfefe! But as far as actual policy goes, he does what he's told. Otherwise, he'd still be holding rallies in Wisconsin.

That wouldn't look good right now, holding rallies. Even the orange one would know that.

Brian, I know what the treatments are for people with coronavirus. My county board of health told me when they visited my house. "Hydrate, stay warm when the fever chills hit, get help when you have trouble breathing. Above all else, stay away from everyone and we will check on you tomorrow."

What I wrote above about what the criteria is now for testing people is ... What the criteria is now due to the lack of reliable tests. I didn't make that up. Even if the only care given in hospitals is supportive care, supportive care differs depending on what illness a person has. After all, the symptoms for novel coronavirus-19 are the same as symptoms for double lung pneumonia mixed with a nasty sinus infection and a massive infection from a cut.

My point was that testing serves no therapeutic purpose, only an epidemiologic one. The demand for increased testing will help no patients directly, and your last reply only validates that point further. All this talk about testing is misdirected.

Brian, testing is about reducing the spread of the virus, not about treatment.
