You are a natural teacher. You have a great ability to clarify. I truly enjoy your presentations. Thank you for your effort.

[@linnaeusshecut3959]

Teaching is an art where the teacher/instructor perceives how the student's mind works so that he might tailor his presentation to get through. With poor teachers, another student often has to act an interpretor between a student question and the instructor. Dr. Campbell is a gifted teacher. He even anticipates one's question!

[@chpslife]

If we don't stop the spread, 2 strains of covid will likely be circulating in an outbreak area, and it undoubtedly means that if people go to the hospital with one strain, they will get the other, which I assume makes it more deadly. Wash your hands, clean your phone, don't touch your eyes/nose/mouth after touching a public surface, stay home if you are sick, and do your best to stay arms distance from people (don't get so close you can smell what they ate for lunch- there will be tiny droplets that you will likely be inhaling).

Thank you, Dr. Campbell. Appreciate the explanations of mutations, but mutations are not evolution in the sense that new information is acquired resulting in an increasingly complex organism. This is analogous to antibiotic resistance where the pathogen mutates but doesn’t actually gain genetic information - it merely becomes altered as a result of exposure to antibiotics. This alteration or change only makes one type resistant to the medicine - dangerous to a susceptible host but the germ itself isn’t more “advanced” compared to its previous iteration.

It sounds like the more severe cases had S and it changed form to L and also duplicated S. How else would they change form but in a body.

Type L accounts for 70% of cases so probably scores highly for both fatalities but also recoveries. Also type S is gradually becoming the more common type detected.

[@rainrabbit9209]

My husband had a follow-up surgery planned for Monday. We called the Doctor to ask if they had any new procedures based on CoVID19. He said they didn't. We then mentioned our concern for being exposed to virus in surgery. The Doc said it was a valid concern and that we were wise to ask. The surgery has been postponed until hospital procedures can catch up to current conditions of pandemic. Literally, we are weighing one health issue with that of the virus and the lack of knowledge is causing treatment delays.

[@BRUtahn]

Unless the hospital is in on the West coast or near New York, I'd say you're probably better off to get it done sooner rather than later, before the virus becomes much more prevalent and the hospitals are way too busy and they start delaying elective surgeries indefinitely.

@@BRUtahn Without testing of community, asymptomatic people, no one can say what communities aren't infected. We are walking around blind to what is on surfaces and infected people. This is a fact, not a fear statement. When my friend in Albany Oregon said it "wasn't there yet", i mentioned the comedian that had left quarantine ... And went to Albany Oregon. Without testing, we don't know what flu or pneumonia patients are actually this CoVid19. We don't.. This is the graph that has a slow rise, then goes exponentially vertical.

VestaLouise Basically, the virus has developed keys 🔑 that fit perfectly into your body’s lock 🔒, which gives it access to enter you and multiply inside you. The virus is working overtime to upgrade its keys to stay locked harder onto you. The virus also has two strains, S and L. S is milder, L is more virulent and more contagious. You can have both strains’ keys accessing your body at the same time.
