70 years old, never had a flu shot, only had the flu once while visiting a doctor to get the only check up I had in the past 30 years. Went back for results, got a throat infection for 3 months. Next time I go to the doctor will be when I’m dead
As a Korean physician, I Suggests new treatments for coronavirus infection.
In many tropical and subtropical countries, (where income and hygiene are scarce and medical conditions are poor)
the corona virus is not wide spreading. I think it’s because the corona virus is weak in heat and humidity.
Therefore, I believe that treating a patient in such a hot and humid environment (as in winter clothes and in a hot bath)
would be very useful in terms of cost and efficiency than ruling antiviral drugs.
Please leave a reply if you’ve been vaccinated, but still came down with the flu. I have many friends, that have been very ill from the flu these last two months, and they received a flu shot. I’m just curious as to the number of people vaccinated and that still came down with the flu. Thank you for helping me with this project.
In a country that could have 25 million infected and 250,000 that want to go to hospitals, you throw everything at the virus, and if something appears to work, that that at 10,000 in a city and see if the hospitalization rate collapses. Worry about cute blind studies later when you have the time. Population studies will work for now.
China trying to combat this alone brings the image of “Stepbrothers” to my mind, specifically the scene in witch the first pitch “Prestige World Wide”.
27jan20 Singapore reported 5 confirmed COVID-19 cases. 27jan20 US reported 5 confirmed COVID-19 cses. 31jan20 Singapore restricted travel from China. 02feb20 US restricted travel from China. 18feb20 Singapore reported 75 confirmed COVID-19 cases. 18feb20 US reported 15 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Why has the case count grown so much faster in tropical Singapore than it has in the US?
Hi I am an English man retired 72 years old and live in Jakarta Indonesia. I have lived and worked here for 17 years and have travelled around a lot so seen much of what Indonesia has infrastructure wise.
I have been following the illness for some weeks and have got a little prepared in respect to sanitisation of my house and my wife’s business as well as doing the basics of hand washing and refrain from shaking hands and kiss greetings.
Many Chinese Indonesians usually go to China for their new year.
I have been waiting for the illness to hit here and to-date it doesn’t appear to have happened.
Indonesia’s major population generally mass in markets to buy food but do not generally have air-conditioning so are in temperatures of low to high 30’s. this is different from Singapore and Malaysia who have more air-conditioning in normal daily living.
The grape vine here would have shown if mass cases have occurred but that doesn’t appear to be the case, local hospitals appear not to have cases not are they being over run.
I am hoping that maybe that the higher temperatures here is an inhibit the virus spread particularly when you look at the cases that have occurred world wide.
hope its not a pipe dream.

I had a heathy, young mother die last week of influenza a last week so that you for bringing up the importance of vaccinations.
My dad had influenza and was on Tamiflu and he was transferred to a separate room in the hospital.
I thank God we have the NHS in the UK…. they treated my dad exceptionally well and within 9 days he was back on his feet!
I hope and pray for a cure to this coronavirus Ameen Ya Rabb
I want to see the cases for evacuees from Japan deleted from Japanese cases and added to US cases on the worldometers site.
Thank you very much. I am sharing your daily reports on my Facebook page and with family. My nephew is in Shanghai where he teaches Kindergarten English. He has stayed in order to take care of his girlfriend, who has no family. Both are staying home as required and are well at this time, but we worry. So your informative videos are so helpful.
I’m impressed the actions taken by health authorities here in the Philippines. They have been tracking everyone that comes into the country, have sent all resorts and hotels lists of possible infected people that have come into the country to urgently track them down so they can be tested. Everyone is screened coming in. Information posters are up everywhere. hand sanitization stations are outside of all major stores.
Lots of information is being broadcast of the news networks, also via local radio stations.
Workers at sewage treatment plants are at elevated risk. Water droplets in the air above splashing sewage water is quite common at open air sewage treatment plants. Semi-treated sewage water is sprayed on beds of small stones to promote bacterial digestion of sewage particulates remaining in the water. I would not want to live downwind.
Thank you for your informative videos. I have learned so much from them and you. I come from no medical background. Would you please talk about Nano Silver 10ppm and the possiblilties of it helping to prevent catching the virus (if at all). I recently purchased some in hopes of avoiding avoiding this possible pandemic and would like to hear your input. Thank you.
I’m glad to hear they are trying different treatments, and they may be working. My family recently had influenza B, and it hit us hard and quick. I thought what was the point of getting the flu shot. But hearing influenza A is worse, I’m feel better now, that we were most likely protected. Thank you
Hello! Thank you for your research & knowledge! Please tell us if it’s worth buying 1) disposable, and/or 2) non-disposable microporus hazemat suits. Thank you!
With NEJM change in info on the Germany case. Where is there evidence of this virus passing from one person to another without symptoms. Also you said you are in Hawaii, well two Japanese tourist were in Maui for a period of time and when they returned to Japan they were positive for the virus. Be careful and keep up the great work.
Does this coronavirus affect other mammals? If so, if it gets out into the countryside, that could be the collapse of wildlife globally.
(1) Is it a good idea to have. BSL4 lab in a populated area, near a market?
(2) They say laughter cures anything. Have they run a double-blind study using Amy Schumer as placebo and Dave Chappelle as real comedian?
Thank you for your sane voice in all the noise. You know you are getting it right when your number of viewers can fill a super bowl stadium 4 times over. Great job
Thanks for taking the time to complete these updates. It’s calming to have just the medical facts interpreted by a Doctor, without all the sensationalist extras from the News industry. It’s greatly appreciated and generous of you to do this work! From an Australian.
It appears that Sars-cov2/Covid-19 causes only mild symptoms in infants. infants are known to have underdeveloped immune systems. It makes me think that the virus causes the most damage by causing a severe allergic reaction in adults, often leading to organ failure.
It appears that steroids and antiinflammatories would be of benefit.
Thank you Med Cram. I have been following you on this topic since Day 1. I have been sharing your blog lectures to my coworkers and friends
Getting on one of these✈️there’s a good chance that you will be infected . All. Flights. Should have been grounded a month ago. Why. Keep spreading this virus if this virus was released to clear the streets of China it worked
« Its infected a species that can think act and relatiate against it » I like that. Thanks for keeping us updated on everything!
Oh boy, I’ll be in trouble. I have very severe asthma and have been tubed 7 times so far and it would have been more if I had said ok when they wanted to tube me. I try to fight as long as I’m awake.
Admittedly, the corona virus is indeed horrifying, but in no way does the terror approach the absolute heartbreak, dread, angst, devastation and hopelessness the entire world feels (even the Amazon rain forest tribes have deep concern), about the trauma experienced by those who are existentially oppressed by improper pronouns. Let us all send healing energy to victims of incorrect pronoun oppression! May we prioritize our priorities? Can I get an Amen?
Can anyone point me toward information regarding how to treat pneumonia at home in an emergency situation?
I have an asthma inhaler and some over the counter items that have been shown to reduce cytokine storms, but I’d like more tools in case I have to treat at home please. Thanks.
Yeah, it’s infected an intelligent species… a virus that can potentially wipe out a species that is 1000000000000000x more intelligent…
Google + FB could probably calculate everyone who could be possibly infected. They know where everyone is and was at all times.
what i find strange is that the « WHO teams are drawing up a plan for a clinical-trial protocol that could simultaneously be run by clinicians around the world ».
I cannot believe these people do not already have one. This is not the first epidemic, What have they been doing all this time when we had SARS, MERS, EBOLA, HIV. so why was not one done then or before?
i do not agree the trials would be in vain if they actually work the problem is if they do not work. For then one needs further analysis and there a standard approach is essential.
Measures of clinical outcome are essential as the article cites
« For example, a person’s stages of recovery or decline should be measured in the same way, regardless of the treatment being tested. »
but there was no evidence cited that shows this is not being done which again is a pity. Moreover, surely this should be done for all
patients with the illness though more clerical staff would be needed to record the information.
This virus seems on average to last 2 weeks after it has developed. So to apply Mr Spock logic, 2 weeks ago we had approx 8000 (approx) confirmed cases world wide, today we have 11,147 confirmed recovered!
hey, i am currently in kenya and the first suspected case has just been reported. in my own opinion i believe the health care system here is not adequately prepared to handle covid 19.
First of all, thank you so much for these uploads as well as for the rest of the topics. I’ve used your videos to revise as they are logical and explained in a way I can understand. Same goes for this series. My question is, how long can this virus survive on other objects?
This is the only series about coronavirus updates that I’m following in YouTube. Was kind of worried my headset was busted because your voice sounds different but when I checked your previous video, they sounded okay. Did you change your microphone? Anyway, your videos are interesting enough to increase my sound quality tolerance, lol.
Please stop calling it an epidemic, its quite clear that its a pandemic at this point. Underplaying the description of such a deadly disease is less than helpful.
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
Exodus 15:26
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee
to be clear, this virus would we need to have eye protection on plus mask and gloves if coming in contact with a patient that might have this virus. I used to be a medic but now no longer in the medical field but a part of an emergency response team.
Thinking about this new plasma-based treatment, my concerns are 1) In a country that harvests organs from Falun Gong members, are the plasma ‘donors’ voluntary? 2) If it is an effective treatment, will any of this plasma go to ordinary folks?
If it is indeed effective, the billionaires and elite will form an orderly queue, and no-one else will get a look-in.
I wonder if that’s why people are trapped in quarantine ‘hospitals’ – so survivors can’t escape but can have their blood-plasma harvested. Grim.
DEAR After conducting many innovative experiments, i found that CAMPHOR INHALERS may restrict this kind of problems,kindly ensure consider this….
Yea so there are videos literally of bodies on the street in Chinese cities. You sure about these numbers….not really.
We, (my son, wife and I) all got a nasty case of the flu a couple weeks ago in spite of getting our flu shots. My parents also got it a couple weeks before we did flying back to Seattle after visiting us and they also got their flu shots as well, for them it was even worse than for us but fortunately they recovered after a couple weeks. So maybe the flu is bad this year because the shots weren’t so effective and not because people didn’t get them?
Thank you, Dr. Seheult, for talking about influenza A. I work with people who refuse to get a flu shot. It amazes me, as in every other aspect of their lives they are rational people! I don’t get it. Anyway, we all out here in YouTubeville appreciate your sane and clear explanations without hyperbole, hype or histrionics!
I’m hoping I can get some feedback… The last 2 years after our flu shots my husband and I both got rotten sick.. Like 2 weeks after. Is it just because the flu shot kills you’re good bacteria and fighting abilities and during that time we caught the virus?
Enriched oxygen might make the virus
Reproduce at a increasing rate as their virulence subsides at a corresponding rate burning themselves out! If not absorbed directly through bloodstream. The cassandra crossing.
You’re absolutely amazing for taking the time to create more content for your audience, regardless of your location, I respect you for that.
What out for the next flu season. The 1918 Spanish flu came in with a whimper, the second year the roar could be heard around the world.
The 1918 Spainish flu had one hospital that claimed a zero death rate. The method they used was two enemas a day to clean out intestines where virus lives and starvation for some days except for pure orange juice which might have been the Vitamin C solution of the day. However that solution might have only stopped the first attack of the virus and no info on if it could stop the second wave cronite storm events that killed in minutes with blood bursting turning victims blue in colour in minutes
A friend of mine who lives in Wuhan said 3 of his co-workers parents have died from this. It is hard to hear of real people but comforting to hear your facts
I’m not a smart man when it comes to infectious diseases. But if what is causing the required visits to the ICU involve a cytokine storm, wouldn’t boosting your immune system actually hurt you?
When you get a chance, you might want to do an episode on the role age plays in getting infected, developing complications, and dying from this virus.
To improve the immune system, have 3 teeth of garlic in the morning 2 before sleep and rest, the body will do the rest. And yeah, do not smoke.
Questions…..? How long does this virus remain in the host? Does the immune system eradicate the virus from the host? Or does the host remain a carrier (chronic)?.what is the time period of infectiousness for this virus?
Using convalescent plasma is a dangerous road to go down. FWIW I had H1N1 in 2009 due to travelling for work in MX. I was young & healthy yet was hospitalized with ARDS. I’ve never gotten the flu since then, and was recently contacted to take part of some study bc apparently H1N1 survivors gain a superior level of immunity that seems broadly effective across influenza strains. The patient stipend is quite a bit of money but the scheduling would be hard for me. I do encourage others to participate in those studies if they’re able
Considering that this virus seems to be spreading well in the hot 80F degree weather in Singapore, I’m sceptical that the end of winter will rescue us. It will make it easier for us to identify infected at local hospitals, as the background noise of typical flu season is likely to provide cover for SARS COV 2 infection. Let’s hope we start enhanced screening and precautions with all flu cases once cold & flu season ends.
I’d also like to say thank you for your updates and being a wonderful doctor. My toddler had influenza a… he thankfully recovered without Tamiflu or medical intervention but I know it’s a bad one. I’m curious has he not built an immunity of some sort against it?
WHO have to prior caution on human right and world fight to entitle all countries create the newly virus experiment in laboratories and symptom aviation, this is bad result in science field after faces of some epidemic spreading outside in other purpose,in prevent of biology attach weapon.the serge,attempted to genocide and are illegally dangerous cyclone and growth inhuman, we needed to stop concerned about the world challenge even on study in recycle,copied and pasted of all virus past pandemic at least after founder for the vaccine recognise
Want to see deaths? Wait until it gets done ravaging Africa. They will never be able to contain it, the world will have to help them.
« I don’t run anything or tell organizations how to operate, but when people are dying, I save em » thank you for your service, Dr. Seheult!
How is it CDC hadn’t anticipated a possibility of a coronavirus outbreak where a vaccine could of been advanced like the vaccines today. I’m curious, if nothing else.
I heard the WHO say today that cruise ships should still go to China and that not to would be stigma. They are so frustrating. Most ppl love Chinese ppl. We hate the disease. It us normal to avoid a source especially on a floating petri dish. Its all I heard through the WHO conference. Oh their rationale is be worried once the epidemic spreads to your area not before. I think they are a political talking head.
Doc, let us imagine that someone has symtoms of flu/corona virus, they are hundreds of miles away from a hospital or treatment centre. is there a position a patient can be put in so that they can self drain any fluieds in the lungs, and also allowing maximum oxegen reaching the lungs.
I’m a 40 female in SoCal and I tested positive for influenza A and ended up in hospital on day 3 of illness with SOB and irregular EKG for 2 nights with sever dehydration, then quarentined for 10 days from my family with the food dropped off at door but noone else got it at my house, but every cough at works 100+ cubicals keeps me in a face mask lol but not funny
Thank you for explaining things so clearly. I’m not sure if this has been asked already as I didn’t scroll through ALL of the comments, but I am wondering about the convalescent plasma treatment. Could this cause ADE and make the person exponentially worse?
doc, could you give us your take on Inovio Pharmaceuticals and their claim that they will have something ready by summer?
your delivery of this content is so well organized and clearly explained that it makes it easy to understand. Thanks for doing such an awesome job on such an important subject.
Thank you for making these videos! They are super informative and easy to follow! You also don’t use scare tactics like the media and it makes understanding this virus much more tolerable!
Hello doc.From Japan. Drug call Abiyan can be effective. Medical name is Favipavir. Works on RNA virus.Already tested in China Shen Zen hospital. Why Government hides this info.I don’t know
Well if YOU or your family or patients had COVID-19 are you saying you would prefer they be placed in blinded, randomizes controlled studies so half of them have the opportunity to develop pneumonia/organ failure/death Whaaaat This is a global health EMERGENCY/PANDEMIC, China does not have the LUXURY of randomizes trials!! Besides cloraquine has been around for 100 years!!! Put it in the WATER on the Diamond Princess! Withholding anything SAFE is tantamount to manslaughter.
Whether it was a natural virus or re-engineered, the dangers of this virus are many: it has many ways of transmission that other disease like the flu or Ebola doesn’t have. It has asymptomatic transmission so people can infect others unknowingly, making it widespread quickly. It lives on surfaces for up to 9 days. It can affect only the digestive tract or heart so patients get examined for digestive and cardiac issues, and end up infecting everybody in those departments. It doesn’t create immunity after infection, and the second time can be worse and kill you. It has 20x the lethal rate as the flu. It causes only the cold and flu symptoms in some people so they unknowingly infect others. It can be asymptomatic in some people but attack their heart and cause them to drop dead. The lack of symptoms proliferates it’s spread, because people with a cold or flu won’t usually see a doctor or get tested. There aren’t enough tests to go around as it spreads. It isn’t easily detectable in one test, so requires multiple tests for patients who are suspected of it and for those who recover. Chinese patients are being tested FOUR times after they recover, before being released. We may all just have to live with this, and accept that it may kill some of us.
Hey, I’ve been watching your videos (great content!) since the start of this pandemic. I work in drug development and I think a very good video you could do would expand your coverage of “in vitro” versus “in vivo” medications in drug development so people understand what holds up drug development; ie, the idea that the Ebola drug kills Ebola but not in Vivo, and how that impacts this process. Keep up the good work!
I would like to know where are the statistics for people who were vaccinated vs the ones not vaccinated! I guess talking about blind studies to be done is cool but we already have two populations available to study those vaccinated vs not.
hi doc, how come through researchers it is not know yet the virus size, aerosolized, ttl on surfaces, nucleic testing is not certain, cdc tests were faulty, and also why can it not be know shed time/incubation?
The WHO and specifically Soumya Swaminathan are wrong. The Chinese are not starting clinical trials; merely trying to save lives. The Chinese text clearly states that their clinicians are simply trying therapies in groups to see what comes up with the best results and that regulated clinical trials would begin as the Covid-19 abates. They also have very exacting definition of recovery. Can you imagine what would happen if 70,000 + patients stormed the hospital is of Southern California where you practice? The United States would completely fail. No privatized healthcare system can come close to handling the volume.
Those complicated viral pneumonia cases need to also be tested for covid19 – and this has not been done yet.
I think it is strange you are asking folks to get the influenza vaccine now when we are being told it is only 20% effective.
Thanks for your updates. It would be interesting to hear how many of these complicated flu cases have been vaccinated
as well. (retired MD)
WOW!! I google Corona Virus when it first spread. The informations was unclear, and fuzzy. This is great!! well informed from a Dr. that can get to the core of this new virus.
I work in a medical field, it’s great to be informative about this new deadly virus. Thank you Doctor, great video!
Just take an ounce of DMSO in 2 oz of cod liver oil a day. Kills everything, but maybe the virus dies before the host. Fight fire with fire.
My parents, who are in their 70s and in Fla., got flu A this month – even though they both had gotten the quadravailent shots. Meanwhile in NH, my family came down with flu b, even though we all got shots. The flu vaccines were CRAP this year. Are they intentional trying to weaken the US populace, so when Covid-19 gets here, we all kick the bucket? WTF!
What about the funeral homes that are reporting 60% of the deceased are coming from home, they have not been to hospital, therefore have not been tested, and are not counted towards the death toll. Can we really trust communist China to give us an accurate death toll? Is it possible that the death toll is 60% higher than reported?
