[QUOTE="AndrogenHacker, post: 185783, member: 39194"] I tend to agree with most of this. The spread of the virus is definitely correlated with summer/younger people being careless, I can't say that the age of the patients I see in ICU has been lower (on average). As mentioned above, I'm only very occasionally seeing patients < 50 who end up sick sick. It's interesting: You have to realize where my perspective is coming from - [B]The pulmonologists I work with talk about this mutated virus notion like it's common knowledge and 100% fact.[/B] Are they right? Maybe? There are just so many variables to say definitively without hard science. Personally, where I see it most is in the patient's labs and length of illness: Months ago it seemed like things like D-Dimers and CRPs just stayed stupid elevated endlessly. It just dragged on and on and on. These days I'm frequently seeing these numbers drop a lot quicker than they used to (Even though "quicker" still means several weeks to a couple of months) [USER=38594]@sammmy[/USER], it sounds like you have done your research on this topic. I'd love to hear more about what you have found out. Feel free to PM me anytime. [/QUOTE]
