Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

maybe we can have a fauci/mickey mouse club, about the same level of entertainment.

 

Okay, I’ll happily rephrase: had a childhood fever.

 

Amazingly, America’s leading racketeer is still widely venerated.

 

So why is a childhood fever a good thing?

 

This. At 105 or higher you're risking seizures, etc. My daughter spiked one when she was around 2 & I literally ran her to a tub and put her in warm water (never do full cold at first) to get her temp down. All while I was dialing the peds. Got her down to 102 then took her in but holy smokes that was scary. She'd also broken out - she was having an allergic reaction to her antibiotic.

Do not mess with high fevers especially in babies/kids.

 

General fevers are good because it's the body's way of fighting infection. The immune system is kicking into gear to fight. This is why kids run fevers after getting immunizations. You use acetaminophen & the like for comfort & to make sure you don't reach a danger point. Antibiotics are used to help fight what is making the body react.

Frankly I've used alcolado (sp?) plus cold compresses more often than not. That, Vicks, Sprite- the triad of a Latin household

 

Nah, 105 fevers in kids only make them stronger. And if they die, it thins the herd of the weak ones.

 

This is pretty interesting.

Fear! FEAR!!!

 

Yep, and a good book in that regard ...

 

If your kid has a 105 fever and you aren't in fear you're a terrible parent.

 

Seems as if we're getting some rectal verbalization from this poster. No links, backtracking, etc.

 

You haven’t been paying attention. My link refuting virology was roundly jeered for not having been authored by a virologist. Go figure.

 

This helps me better understand your posting.

 

Well according to trump your heart has so many heart beats in it so seems reasonable you have a set number of fevers

 

Science: deductions from data.

Science since 2020: “WTAF ? Are you some kind of Trumper ???”

 

Well sure, but that is only if you believe in viruses (which that poster doesn't). If viruses don't exist, what is the immune system fighting when you also don't have bacteria or fungal infection?

 

That will leave a mark...

 

In addition to death, about 1 in 5 unvaccinated persons infected with measles ends up in the hospital. 1 in 20 end up with pneumonia, and 1 in 1000 get encephalitis. A case of encephalitis can lead to hearing loss, loss of brain function, and more. Those unvaccinated who get the measles and recover still run the risk of developing Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which also causes brain damage. This disease has been all but wiped out in the US thanks to the measles vaccine.
