Heh, now that's a blast from the past, thanks. I remember that one. While still drawing armyciv.mil $$ I was in a MASCAL planning cell next to a fine logistician who became a good friend to this day. (He wanted commo support from me to support the staging of reefer trailers for the zombies that didn't make it.) I don't think this is what Joni Mitchell meant when she wrote "The Circle Game."

Went to see my Cardiologist yesterday, one of the pre-screening questions was "Do you have the Coronavirus?" My wife works at the U of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and when I told her about the query she said that she was pretty sure the question was not asked in the proper context. How would I specifically know if I had it or not? Probably just asking how I felt in general would have been the best way to broach the topic. ODNT, I am with you, if folks who felt ill would stay home instead of going to work sick there would be a lot less illness in this country

A patient of mine on clinical trial tested positive for coronavirus and the company sponsoring the trial panicked. I had to reassure this was a typical coronavirus strain and not COVID-19. In the past month I've had patients come down with influenza A and B, rhinovirus, respiratory synctial virus, parainfluenza 1 and 3, and multiple non-Kung-Flu strains of coronavirus.

We're in the mist of respiratory viral season and that is a particularly ignorant screening question to ask.

No $hit Sherlock!

40,000 people in the USA die on an AVERAGE year from influenza...

I worked the urgent care 2 weeks ago and had 30 proven cases of influenza 1/2 Influenza A and 1/2 Influenza B.

There is only one answer to a question like this - Yes, yes I do!


I want to make a T-Shirt that says on the front “Just got back from China and all’s I got was this lousy T-Shirt and... (on the back) a fever and a cough!
