I've been watching this shitshow unfold...
NYC doc Sidell reads Italian papers. He rightfully recognized that he is seeing what they saw and buys into their findings. No problem. This is already a growing camp and the Italians are releasing observation papers that are helping those that haven't seen this stuff yet.
NYC doc makes himself famous with panicked sounding video even though he doesn't say anything and doesn't just say what he means (except on his twitter if you follow him!) which that he supports the Italian findings. He doesn't even mention having read the Italian editorial that spurred his video. Maybe this video was out of context, whatevs. It's become a favorite of the pseudo-doctor tinfoil crowd that is sure there's a coverup. Just go read the yo tube comments to his video and all the commentary reposting. Guy is smart but OG video is stupid because it just complains about needing a new paradigm. He had previously expanded specifics on other youtube webinar and twitter. He isn't inventing or finding something new. He is supporting the Italian findings in his own observations.
Now this video...Follow that up with a nobody that took his abridged comment panicked video where he makes a layman comparison to perfusion problems = HAPE.
How do you know she's a nobody promoting herself and not actually pushing the finding: "
Did she find the missing link for a Coronavirus treatment? Her brain fluid leak led her right to it!"
She references herself in a clickbait titles. SHE = The poster. Ava Green. She is a smart youtuber and that's how she has 2 million views in 2 days. But she isn't doing anything new other than viral clickbait.
This is just google jumping topics complete with her tone about, "I don't know why they aren't talking about this?!!?!"
First off you don't treat HAPE with diamox. It's a prophylaxis. If you had HAPE and I couldn't have you descend right away, you know what you would get? oxygen and a ventilator.
Secondly, using it as an adjunct has been discussed but only because there be some hemoglobin curve shifts with this disease. The drug adjusts acid base balance in critically ill patients which might be bad and also doesn't do anything for many of the observed and theorized processes that cause ventilator dependency in coronavirus patients.
