You're spot on about utilizing recovereds better (at all).agreed
The 3 or 4 most promising potential treatments that we have on tap should all be nationally focused to get evidence for the exact same reasons you mention. It could happen SO much faster with that unified direction. Large multicenter studies, serum banking, etc.
We have 1000s in the inpatient setting that would be good candidates for many of these interventions and could be with basic informed consent.
We have 10,000's recovered just walking around with antibodies. Currently those people might have serum that is a treatment, but also those recovered patients represent likely immunity. How are we using them? Do any of them want jobs? or are we just sending them back home even though they represent a much lower risk individual.
In a lot of ways, this all comes back to testing. Since we are still not testing at appreciable amounts in much of the country, we can't all pitch in to share that data. We have the ability to share this data centrally right now in a way that could have never happened during SARS or MERS. This should be a full court press and we could have some really useful trends in weeks if you had a large enough sample size.
Does Australia have government run healthcare?You're spot on about utilizing recovereds better (at all).
I forgot to add that Australia is following Trump in ordering hydroxychloroquine. Trump is stockpiling 29 million courses. Our government proudly announced that we've ordered...wait for it... 2 thousand courses! That's certainly enough to go around in a nation of 25 million.
We currently have not enough PPE across the country. Trump briefly made the allegation that hospital staff were stealing all the supplies because a hospital went from 20,000 mask to 300,000 mask. To him, it's impossible for a hospital to suddenly have 15 times as many respiratory patients or have increased PPE needs when every single patient in the emergency department must be triaged using full PPE.You're spot on about utilizing recovereds better (at all).

We have universal healthcare, yes. Like every other developed nation except for one. It works pretty well compared to other countries.Does Australia have government run healthcare?
What no weed stores in your neck of the woods?Oh I forgot to mention, I went for a walk earlier, everything is closed apart from pharmacies and oddly, candy stores. I did see the butchers was open and for some reason a cafe, takeout only.
NahWhat no weed stores in your neck of the woods?
Sounds like your government run healthcare ain't doing too hot right now......We have universal healthcare, yes. Like every other developed nation except for one. It works pretty well compared to other countries.
Just ask one Donald J. Trump:
"We have a failing healthcare," Trump said.
"And I shouldn't say this to our great gentleman and my friend from Australia, because you have better healthcare than we do."
Fuck I wish they had that here. Have you seen my cooking?We have grocery stores, gas stations, banks open for business as usual other than trying to maintain six feet between people (there's probably more than that). All restaurants, breweries, weed stores, and liquor stores are also open for take out and to go services.
You're doing great though!Fuck I wish they had that here. Have you seen my cooking?
Based on what and compared to who? The amount of unproven malaria pills that's been ordered?Sounds like your government run healthcare ain't doing too hot right now......
Hey don't take them malaria pills unless you get malaria. Shit gives you jungle buttBased on what and compared to who? The amount of unproven malaria pills that's been ordered?
You have no idea what you're talking about. Just listen to your boy Trump. He spelled it out in plain English for you.
My boy Trump? Never met him, never voted for him. Guy says a ton of stupid shit so I'm not sure listening to him is the best advice.Based on what and compared to who? The amount of unproven malaria pills that's been ordered?
