COVID-19 - An Easy Way to Know You DON'T HAVE IT!

Jun 09, 2021
Hello, welcome to your health with Dr. Christie my name is dr. Christie Rice Enger and today about your health we are going to talk about koban 19. There are a lot of misconceptions out there and I am here to clear up some of them. The first question I personally had was where did they get the name kovat 19 from? well it comes from the corona virus disease that started in Wuhan China in 2019 hence the name kovat 19, as we all

know

now the disease started in Wuhan China in a seafood market that sold live animals and somehow jumped out of the living animal to the person. which is relatively common, we see that with other viruses as well and then once one or two people got infected, it was person-to-person transmission.

I want to remind everyone that the main mode of transmission is respiratory droplets, that is, when a person coughs when a person sneezes or even when they talk, they are emitting respiratory droplets and these droplets fall on surfaces or enter directly into their eyes, nose , mouth when talking to that other person when these respiratory droplets land on surfaces. then you touch those toilets and, without you

know

ing it, you touch your eyes, your nose, your mouth and that's how the virus is transmitted to you. A lot of people say I never touch my face. That is not true.

More Interesting Facts About,

covid 19 an easy way to know you don t have it...

You touch your face so many times. for an hour and you don't even realize it, so it is easily contracted and easily transmitted from one person to another. The estimated incubation time after exposure is four to five days, but may last or occur for two to seven days. after you

have

had that exposure two days after exposure up to seven days after exposure, but usually four to five days after exposure, you will start to

have

symptoms if you have contracted it most people have mild symptoms, which Which means that 80% of people who are exposed or contract the virus have very, very mild symptoms. 99% of people who have this disease have fever, it can be a mild fever of 99 degrees or higher, but 99 percent of people with Kovan 19 have fever, other people 70 percent have fatigue 59 percent have a cough 35 percent have body aches 15 percent of people who receive Cova 19 start to have serious symptoms like hypoxia, which means low oxygen saturation, you know the little pulse oximeters they put in your fingers when you're in the doctor's office that's a pulse oximeter, so if that number is less than 99 percent, that's not normal, so hypoxia is a low pulse oximeter number and people with severe disease also begin to have lung involvement greater than 50%.

It means that they will start to have infiltrates and there will be all kinds of different infiltrates, but if more than 50% of the lung is involved, that is really concerning and that means that they have severe disease and then there is that critical 5%, these are patients that the progress goes to respiratory failure requiring intubation intubation is when you are on mechanical ventilation, a tube is placed in your throat, you are sedated and they pick you up connected to a life support machine, it is really a big deal, other symptoms can occur When If you have a critical illness is that your organs can start to fail, you can suffer from something called sepsis, where your blood pressure drops a lot and we've been seeing some interesting cardiovascular deaths related possibly to a vile viral cardiomyopathy, which is when the heart increases a lot due to virus and I still don't know much about it.

I think we're still learning a lot about it. The most serious cases occur in older patients, meaning they are over 65 years old and especially if they are over 80 years old, when you hear about those deaths on TV, take note of the age, most of them are a little older. that you or I, you already know that these patients have comorbidities, that is, other diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, so if you have ever had a heart attack or a stroke if you have diabetes, especially if it is not controlled, if you have any type of lung disease such as COPD or emphysema, if you smoke, if you have high blood pressure or if you are currently receiving treatment. for cancer or have had cancer and then and are currently taking immunosuppressants like prednisone or other medications similar to prednisone those are the patients who tend to have more severe illness for those who have severe illness here is the timeline of what we are Generally seeing: shortness of breath occurs at approximately five to six days, hospital admission usually occurs between 7 and 8 days, and ICU admission and intubation usually occurs at approximately 10 days, but progression to respiratory failure may be really rapid, which is an early warning sign for Severe, critical illness is something called hypoxia, which is what I mentioned, a low saturation level, but you may not have many symptoms, but that's something your doctor You must know and take note, and you must be in daily communication with him. or she if she is found to have hypoxia but has no other symptoms, hypoxia again is a low to low oxygen saturation.
The most interesting thing about this virus is that viral shedding can occur even before symptoms develop and begin to subside. five days after exposure, but they can last up to 10 days, so people who don't have very mild symptoms are actively shedding this disease and giving it to other people. One great piece of information about this about kovat 19:00 is that children are largely safe from these devastating effects of kovat 19:00 we're just not seeing many deaths in children and I'm very grateful for that. Here are just my personal opinions on some dos and don'ts for patients. that Arkansas on kovat 19 the first thing is that you don't really need any blood work unless you're hospitalized, we just don't do it, the labs won't help determine one way or another, they're not that helpful, the white ones.
The blood cell count, which often determines whether someone has an infection or not, can be high or low, so at the end of the day I don't think you should ask your doctor to draw blood, the other thing is to donate. Don't wear a mask if you don't have a cough or if you don't have symptoms you will touch your face more and then those who really need to have dough won't be able to get them, you should wear a mask. if you have a cough or if you're caring for someone you're worried about, you have Kovan 19 or if that person has a cough, my next big bone of contention is who should actually get tested.
I think only older patients with a fever of 99 degrees or higher and should get tested for both flu and covin 19. If you are young and otherwise healthy, don't go get tested right now, it's really complicated and you are slowing down the system and you are burdening a system that simply does not need to be overloaded right now, however, if you are older or if you have other illnesses like the ones I mentioned and you have a fever of 99 degrees or higher, you should get tested , where are you going? We're still working out many of those details, but call your doctor or your primary care doctor or provider; they have information on where to send it;
Drive-thru clinics are being set up in cities across the United States and some testing is underway. it is actually being done through the city Health Department, the treatment is not actually with antivirals, we have not found an antiviral that has been effective against kovat 19, so there is no prescription medication that has been shown to be effective , things like fever-reducing medications like Tylenol have been shown to be a useful medication that helps suppress coughs or can be great just for providing comfort. Most importantly, if you have a fever and cough, you should isolate yourself to prevent transmission to another person, especially older people.
In the United States population, you should keep in touch with your doctor by phone and try to decide if you are someone who may need to go to the emergency room if you decide that you need to go to the emergency room because If you are experiencing difficulty breathing or that breathlessness that I talked about, it is very important that you call them before you go and also call your doctor to let them know how long you should isolate yourself after having these symptoms. Remember that I am not advising that everyone have We check for kovat 19, so you may not be sure if you have had it or not, but if you have a fever, cough and fatigue, we can probably assume that you have kovat 19 or influenza and I would say that you should isolate yourself. 100% as long as you are fever-free for 72 hours without medication, so you cannot take fever-reducing medication and go out, that is not the same as being fever-free without medication for 72 hours, interestingly enough in the UK they recommend that people to remain completely isolated 7 days after the onset of their symptoms and that is for the milder cases of course, as always.
I think one of the most reputable websites for up to date information is CDC gov. There is a lot of misinformation out there and I want to help reassure rather than continue to cause irrationality and further fear, so at the end of the day, one thing I want everyone to take home is that if you have a fever, mild fever, cough and fatigue, you may have kovat at 19:00, but before you rush out to get tested, really think about whether you are in a high-risk category or not. If you are not in a high risk category, I would say wait to get tested.
For now, that may change as testing availability increases, but for now leave testing to older adults and people who have immunosuppression and comorbid conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and then other things I mentioned, stay tuned. except, remember to wash your hands. 20 seconds, that's really important and one of the main ways we can prevent transmission from one person to another and when you wash your hands, make sure you rub them together because it's the friction that removes the virus from your hands if you don't. . If you don't have access to soap and water, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer like one with 60% alcohol or more is also great, but you should let them dry on your hands while you rub them and don't clean your hands. something else to remove the alcohol and sanitizer if you can't find a sanitizer with alcohol.
There are many resources online on how to make your own. Thanks for joining me.
