Loading ...Talked to my son the budding Dr. – 3rd year med student at the University of Washington – now doing his family medicine rotations in Boise. Apparently, UW has shut down their med school classroom sessions and having the students do their work remotely.
Course he now sounds like a Dr. when he speaks, but no doubt they are taking this very seriously and he expects to be exposed as will the physicians /staff he works with.
I guess the big thing is the respiratory nature of the virus and it’s effect on the lungs, which is why it’s so tough on the elderly or those with pre-existing conditions or are pre-disposed to lung issues or cancer.
Said no doubt it will get a lot worse in terms of spreading and the death rate will be higher than the regular flu, but not such a threat to younger or healthy people. Still a lot they don’t know.
That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.
