Loss of smell and first UK ICU patients

[@briancorcoran9888]

"No pre-existing diseases..." does NOT mean optimal health. There are a large % of younger people although taking no meds, they are still in poor health through an awful carbage diet & malnurition, smoking, alcohol, sub-optima sleep and chronic stress.

The statistical breakdown of ICU patients by body weight doesn't look any different than what you'd find in the general population. Isn't 65% of the population overweight in the US and UK? The only takeaway I have from this data is that BMI doesn't play a very significant role.

[@tinkerer67]

Good point. There's many such fallacies in statistical data if we aren't careful.

[@carloslaend1635]

Also the n value is still very low (1 in the first category!)

[@bellapoppins1986]

GMessing - excellent interpretation of what the data actually reflects! The more factors we add to an analysis, the clearer picture we get. (I noticed this too about the BMI but then I have a little experience with statistical analysis.)

[@kildareire]

It's a fair point, the medical community are always banging on about blaming weight for everything, often biased/blinding themselves to looking at other factors that might be causing the issue. We are very biased against overweight people in our society. Having said that, the BMI needs to be analysed in line with comorbidities, ie where was the spread of comorbidities within the BMI? Maybe all the low BMIs would have had all the comorbidities or maybe they were concentrated on the high BMI side.

My family hosted two Korean students in January. The students fell ill one week into their stay. Soon after my kids and wife fell ill and they complained about not being able to smell or taste, headache, diarrhea, fever for two to three days, coughing And our youngest said he could not breathe. My kids were so tired my wife had to carry them to the bathroom. My wife could not get out of bed for two days. She said nothing helped with the pain. I had to work and decided to take a lot of vitamin c, 5,000 mg a day, and I did not get as sick as they did. This lasted 3 weeks. We thought they were getting better and then they would get sick again. I’m 100% convinced we had it back in January and it was rough. Hope you can comment on this Dr. Campbell

Surely the rates for BMI are just a bell curve for society in general? 30% of those 25-35 BMI and 30% for BMI 30-40 are just because that's the demographic of the UK population? It could be argued from that bell curve that it hits everyone equally? Is my thinking wrong on this? It's also a pretty low sample size at 196 people.

[@williamjansen1]

Your thinking seems right, but you'd have to compare with relevant age-groups and account for the gender-disparity and not just compare to the general demographic of the UK-population. And you also seem right about the low sample size.

Its a common complaint of wives and girlfriends that they cannot get their man to go to the doctor. My partner will finally go to see a GP at the level where he should be going directly to A&E. In fact, we think he had CV19 at the end of October. He was a fit 40 year old man. I knew he was really sick when he actually stayed off work for 2 days (unheard of!). He went to see the GP. By then it was too late. We were calling an ambulance less than 48 hours later. They took one look at him and scolded us for not going to A&E under our own steam (we live 5 minutes away)... UNTIL they saw his oxygen sats and checked his heart, which was going absolutely mad. He was left with permanent lung damage and is now on inhalers.

Caution on the "loss of smell" interpretation. This symptom along with others identified in the set of overlapping Covid-19 and allergy symptoms is not necessarily an indicator of Covid-19. I've experienced "loss of smell" during extremely bad allergy episodes. Right now my area is experiencing extremely high levels of tree pollen which is making me miserable. No loss of smell during this episode, but it has happened on previous allergy bouts and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened again.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

Exactly. Loss of smell is a pretty common symptom, especially if you're dealing with a disease which primarily affects the respiratory system.

Not wanting to pass it on to my family. Feb 15 My seasonal allergies began with cough. This happens to me every year. BF’s mom, a retired nurse still volunteers in hospital. (that is on hold as of the 3rd week March.) Both of his parents, with whom he visits daily, were quite ill, with what they described as flu during the last week or so of February and into March, BF also developed flu symptoms during the last week of February. I visit him on weekends. I arrive late February 28th .. He did not warn me that he was having flu symptoms. Within 2 days of contact symptoms as follows….. March 1st headache, continued and increasing dry cough. March 2nd definite flu symptoms, head aches ,body aches, feeling of fever. Strangely my temp was 96.8°F for two - three days, before going up to 100.1°F. Most of the next 8 or so days are lost, to a haze of severe coughing fits that would result in vomiting. Diarrhea that necessitated the continued use of IMODIUM A-D. I also experienced extreme exhaustion, Due to sleep being constantly interrupted by cough and headache. (Self medicating with Cough Suppressants, expectorants cough drops and acetaminophen.) March 10th Flu symptoms are decreasing, then I notice my breathing is becoming more and more of an effort, thankfully I have a rescue inhaler. So I begin using that, twice a day and as needed. During this time my breathing sounds are, rough and crackly. I also develop laryngitis leaving me unable to speak. In an effort to alleviate the feeling of not getting enough air, I try to practice deep breathing, taking extra breaths at the top on inhale and trying to hold for an extra few seconds, repeating 2-3 more times, 3-6 times a day. During all this I am self medicating, for what I think is yet another bout of bronchitis. (not uncommon for me.) 1 the inhaler 2 cough suppressant liquid 3 expectorant tablets 4 Cough drops 5 acetaminophen for the headache. The last being discontinued due to recommendations, just in-case this was something other than flu combined with bronchitis. This continues until March 18th when I finally begin to notice improvements. @ around March 12th a strange thing is also occurring. Every time I have dairy, it is followed by a sour after taste. This is also when I realized, I have not been able to smell anything for the entire time. It is now March 24th I have daily improvements but am still a little under the weather, sore throat headache and easily fatigued. My voice is just starting to recover (I can whisper now). I also noticed my scene of smell beginning to return. I am remaining in isolation, due to how easily I develop bronchial issues. I have not been tested, so I don’t know if this was anything more than the flu. The first available appointment with my Dr isn’t until November. Ill ask to have my blood tested for the antibodies. For reference, I am in the north east part of the US. As far as I know, it is still not easy for the average nobody to get tested. If it turns out, that I had the virus. I hope that listing my symptoms, along with a timeline helps in some way. To everyone out there be safe, get well soon if you are under the weather, keep hope and a great big thank you to Dr John. Your updates are appreciated.

Maybe hormones. But females have two X chromosomes. A deleterious allele on one X chromosome may be compensated by a functioning allele on the other. The X chromosome has around 200 million base pairs, while the Y chromosome has only about 50 million base pairs. So only about one quarter of the deleterious alleles of male is compensated by a functioning allele on the X chromosome. (Numbers from memory.) Genetically, females are the stronger sex.

The BMI statistic does not show that being "normal" is better since about 70% of the UK population is overweight or obese. If you look into it closer, it's almost identical to the statistic about average BMI for people between the age of 45-54. In conclusion, BMI shows almost no difference to the outcome. Regardless of this, thank you so much for showing us all this information. It is valuable to all of us.

Dr. Campbell: I want to know what kind of virus was going around the entire US from late Nov- early Dec.???? I had /still have it and many of my family and friends have either had it or are still feeling it. No answers from our various doctors! Symptoms included a very deep dry cough, wheezing, shortness of breath and general malaise. Some got fevers, some did not. No runny noses or cold symptoms. Several of the docs of my family members( and me) without an x-ray stated it could be pneumonia and prescribed a heavy duty antibiotic which seemed not to help anyone. The residual effects for me and 3 family members are the following: Still coughing but less, still wheezing but less; still a small amount of breathing difficulty ( my son who is very athletic does not feel ready to do his tennis and biking due to some breathing difficulties yet) , still not feeling "up[ to par" and this has lasted forever like Dec thru today, March 24th.

Zinc, Loss of Smell and Taste, and Covid-19. For some people one of the early symptoms of the virus is loss of the sense of smell, which then causes loss of taste. (This is temporary, not permanent). As any nutritionist will tell you, a zinc deficiency also causes loss of smell and taste. Given that zinc is a crucial element in mounting an effective immune response, it would make sense that in the case of infection with the virus the body is directing all available zinc to fighting the infection, prioritising that over the senses. Given that not everyone loses sense of smell when they get sick, it suggests that those that do are deficient in zinc. So whilst having adequate zinc levels probably won’t protect you from catching the virus, it would be a good idea to make sure you are topped up so that your immune system has as much as it needs to mount a good defense. Good dietary sources are red meat, poultry and shellfish. Also found in pulses, nuts and legumes, however the phytates in whole grain bread, cereals and some legumes can inhibit zinc absorption. There are no body stores of zinc and daily needs are 10-15mg per day. Very high intakes (200mg/day, or prolonged intake of 50-100mg/day) can be toxic, so be sensible. UK guidelines say no more than 25mg/day. Most multivits that include minerals contain 15mg of zinc oxide, which is not the best absorbed but will probably do the trick if you’ve been taking them regularly. If you decide to buy some, zinc gluconate and zinc picolinate are well absorbed.

Doc, this is an epic failure at Math, depending on the age groups we are looking at about 70% of adults in the UK are considered Overweight or Obese, this means they are perfectly represented in the statistics you mention and not over represented which is what we would see if there was a correlation between obesity and COVID-19 critical care. Furthermore, the stats for Obese and Morbidly Obese also mirror incidence of such conditions on the general public. By the logic being employed by you on this video you should be advising Obese people to become Morbidly Obese immediately as that reduces the chances of them being critical down to 7.3%. You’ll need a lot better data than that to imply correlation, let alone causation between high BMI and COVID-19 complications.

Yes, yes and yes

[@enjoyingthejourney]

Yes! The interpretation of the data is not correct.

[@DIYjetboards]

Don P I think the important take away is the loss of smell as a warning sign in the absence of the other signs and symptoms. He just put up this video less than an hour ago. So yes the math is flawed and we are discussing that and making better sense of the data. Everyone is pushing data out as fast as they can because this thing is moving so fast so don’t be too critical. The last thing we want is level headed medical experts being shamed for trying to help us get a grip on this virus. I want to thank the doctor for his compassionate yet practical response. The leaders here in the states should take note.

Still, the underweight percentage is so low that they're probably all anorexic. But there are many people underweight who aren't anorexic. We have to parse the nuance from the good doctor's findings. A-fuckin-men.

Probably an inverse relationship between patient's VO2 max and Covid19 morbidity. = Go for a Walk, Go for a Run, Go for a Bike Ride.

The mean BMI of English aged 35 and older is right around 28-29, meaning they would split fairly evenly into either the 25-30 BMI category or the 30-40 category, the largest ones seen at 9:15. I think this means that the people in the ICU look fairly close to the population in general, meaning I don't think this proves that obesity makes you more vulnerable to severe COVID-19. These are generally the rates you'd expect to see in the ICU if the entire population were effected equally. Perhaps a better comparison would be to see if China, which has a mean BMI of 24, had an unusually large amount of obese people in their ICUs?

I am petite woman, always been a bit underweight no matter what I do. I guess that's good news today. Dr. Campbell thank you once again for your videos ❤️

Is there a study in regards to those who've had the pneumonia vaccine?

[@fwcolb]

I have had pneumonia vaccine every 5 years for about 30 years. Protects against secondary bacterial infections. The brochure of the one I get specifically states no protection from pneumonia associated with influenza. By analogy no protection from Covid-19. The reason is explained in more than one of Dr Campbell's videos.

@Devil's Advocate wim hof says all you have to do is deep breathing and take a cold shower every day to stay healthy. he is a big believer in the cold. Still haven't tried it yet. who wants to take a cold shower.

[@nataliaphone7409]

@Devil's Advocate Russians dont do that on purpose for sure, it's just kids tend to go and play even it is cold outside:)

[@sheriu7167]

Angela Merkel Chancellor of Germany got that vaccine only to find out later that the Dr administering the shot was infected with covid19 😮

[@peterfaber9316]

Overweight and obesity is just a symptom of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance causes type 2 diabetes, cardio vascular disease, high blood pressure, etc. It's caused by processed foods: Refined carbs + seed oils + added sugar (Even if you never eat donuts, all processed foods pretty much are like donuts, even if it says it's a healthy food) If you want to lose weight and improve your health all you need to do is eat low carb high fat. It costs nothing. No need for supplements, just eat vegetables, meat and animal fat.

Re: lack of smell or taste. I am a nurse who is on the second round of what I believe to be a very mild coronavirus infection. I was mildly ill w/runny nose, some chills, headache, sore throat, and dizziness which subsided which then came back a day later. Re: my hyposmia and hypoguesia...my whole face and parts of my body are affected, and they feel, for a lack of a better term, "numb". Initially, I wondered if I was having a stroke but I am not.

[@ryanharris7137]

90shilling but overall you feel ok?

[@jrivet5108]

i had all those symptoms and it lasted for 3 weeks, the third week my Doctor said i was recovering from a pneumonia after examinating me... Weird thing is this was in late December into january, before covid-19 was a thing.

9:50 No, it does not indicate that low weight is in any way related to lower chance of getting the disease. It just says that fewer people are underweight. According to your conclusion, you should be suggesting people to get morbidly obese because 7.3% (morbidly obese) is better than 27.7% (normal weight)

[@bonnielee7134]

Hahaha! The super morbidly obese can't move. They stay put.

I started virus 7 days ago and lost all taste and smell sensation 3 or 4 days ago.

Sorry to hear it, hope you get well soon.

[@kathyh4804]

Praying for a speedy recovery!!

That's rough, its startling. Like your mouth suddenly tastes silence and your breathing is blind. Its all about texture in food, now. Good luck, and speedy recovery.

[@dprankypd]

You started virus? Are you talking about SARS-CoV-2? Are you tested positive? Where and how was the test administered? How did you get infected?

[@oklahomafreedom5536]

Please share the experience of this with Dr Campbell. He has by far the best information on than anyone on the net. Please get well soon and prayers are with you.
