COVID-19: PNEUMONIA OF COVID-19 – The vast majority of people will recover at home from a COVID-19 Coronavirus infection with some fever, cough, and fatigue, but some people will require hospitalization. Of those, some will be treated in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We all need to practice Social Distancing to protect the most vulnerable among us. In those cases where the Virus replicates itself in the single layer of cells lining the lungs it causes inflammation and a “ground glass” spot on a CT scan 3 to 5 days after lung symptoms develop. A CT scan is just a computerized reconstruction of multiple x-rays that create an image of the lungs. A February 20 paper from the Icahn Mount Sinai Medical Center described the using these spots to diagnose COVID-19 in hospitalized patients while they waited 5 to 7 days for the COVID-19 tests to return results. The areas where fluid fills the lung, the lung cells cannot transport oxygen into the blood. A ventilator pushes air and oxygen under pressure to force oxygen into the blood using the remaining functioning lung tissue and single layer of cells. When people die from this disease, it is because the virus takes over so much of the lung that ventilator therapy cannot overcome it. The reason ventilators are so important is that they can save the lives of people who have limited lung damage by oxygenating the blood while the immune system fights the infection. There are 69 existing drugs being evaluated that could be used in conjunction with ventilators to fight the virus. The best policy is to avoid getting infected in the first place by practicing Social Distancing. Hopefully, in the near future rapid testing will allow public health officials to target measures that can control the spread of this highly contagious virus. Stay calm while staying home and practice relaxation meditation or yoga with Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle!!
