I am an Architect. I have NO medical background or understanding. However, I can not explain how incredible your videos have been. I've been watching your content from around the start of Feb and it's so well explained. I am so grateful for the time and commitment to share your research and information on COVID-19 with the world. From a Daily viewer and subscriber from Melbourne, Australia. Stay well!
I'm going to second that Paul. I'm biased towards the Five Eyes (USA, UK, AU, NZ, CANADA) but time and time again brilliant people from literally anywhere in the USA make stuff digestible for me as an engineer. BZ Dr Seheult.
I am so sorry about what's happening to the world I really amnobody deserves this and this is all because China decided to test

This is sick series, I cannot express how to-the-point everything is and how important the topics are in these days. Especially in a world with tons of contradicting data flowing from various sources. Thank you on behalf of whole planet!
Growing up in South Korea, my grandma taught me not to use fever reducer, instead make the body wrapped up in blankets to keep it hot but use a cold compress to the forehead and base of the neck to keep brain from being fried. Once I sweated out, virus is gone no secondary infections of any kind. Glad to see modern medicine is finally catching up to this.
Sweating does help, I remember being sick as a kid and my mom gave me this medicine. It made me sweat so much that it was making me uncomfortable and annoyed. However, my condition was gone and I felt a lot better.
I used to do something similar when I had the flue..but in a tub of hot water. I would raise my temperature while keeping my neck and head cool. ..then wrap up in bed and sweat it out. It was tiring but worked every time!
Roger, I want to begin with saying that we are so grateful to you dedicating time and effort to educating and updating us the normal folks on this evolving crisis. It's been tremendously helpful on many fronts. One thing I would like you to touch upon is the closed cases numbers. Every active case is going to be closed by either recovery or death. Don't you think it's therefore the most important statistic? The death rate among the closed cases used to be 14% about two weeks ago. Last week it rose to 15% and now it's 16%. I find this figure both crucial and frightening. I hope you see my comment and shed some light on this issue in one of your next videos so we have a better understanding of the significance of this important aspect. -Sincerely yours from Saudi Arabia
The reason you shouldn't be frightened with the higher death rate with closed cases is the simple fact that: A) Most cases are not reported..so these closed cases are a fraction of the reality. B) Complete recovery takes more than 6 weeks in many cases. So many more that aren't closed will be closed soon with a good result. C) Average time from first symptoms to death is 14 days. This point supports B. There are many sick people that have passed that medium and are not closed cases.They will not die. Also, I wonder if everybody that is dealing with it at home. Confirmed cases but mild actually get tested again after they completely recover. Do they all go back? Are some hospitals not bothering to test them because of a lack of kits? You would think not bit I don't know the standards in all the countries. I still think you have a great idea. But don't let these stats make you afraid.
@@user-ys7ur5em1k I think your some what correct in (1) I believe a lot more people have been or are currently infected then active case rate shows. The US likely has the most structured and diligent approaches to capturing this information. SK and Taiwan can be effective in their urban centers, however outside of that their healthcare systems break down ( have worked in both of the countries mentioned so this is a first hand observation). However what to me is scary (being in the high risk population) is the rapid rate at which the infection can progresses to death. In typical flu deaths the victims which are "normally" the elderly it seems (at least from my experience) that there is a longer path to mortality then with COVID-19. In short the drop off "seem" very statistically VERY steep to me...
One thing to consider is if the patients are dying from CV-19 or if they are dying from complications of the disease. Its a subtle difference but meaningful . . . those comorbidities are crucial to this disease apparently.
I am convinced mortality rates are being massively exaggerated by inadequate testing and the way the statistics are gathered and that Germany which has the most extensive testing regime in Europe is much closer to the real figures (around 0.7%) but even this is probably too high because even here deaths of patients who had other terminal illness are still registered as coronavirus even where cause of death cannot be attributed to it, I believe once the new testing kits are available and extensive testing takes place it will be revealed that many people have already had the virus but were asymptomatic or suffered only mild illness not attributed to Cornavirus. Once these figures are taken account of the mortality rate will be reduced up to ten-fold and it will be revealed current lock-down measures are unwarranted and that herd immunity is pretty much reached. Would love a video on this from his very neutral and scientific perspective.
@@Muckylittleme The absolute best example we have to calculate R0 & CFR is the ill-fated cruise ship, Diamond Princess, which sat quarantined in Yokohama Harbor in Japan, & from that we see CFR = ~3%. The health of those onboard probably skews higher than the general population, since the customers were wealthy & well-enough to vacation & the crew were virtually all young & healthy. Of 712 individuals who fell ill & were hospitalized in Japan, 1.4% have passed away & another 1.7% remain in critical condition on ventilators/ life support. Sadly, remaining on life-support after a month of illness rarely leads to positive outcomes, so I'd project this will reach about 3% CFR.
The best source of information out there. Weeks ahead of the news media. Living in Australia I feel you're keeping me ahead of the game. Thanks Dr and medcram team.
This guy rocks! Would like to see him take over the lead on this as he is VERY logical as my two cents we are responding too old school. This is the next generation of war, and we new thinking to win!
Mylself from Quebec! Soooo helpfull ! Every morning I wake up hoping for the next one, I am glued to every bit of helpful information, the media is jot helping much right now!
I've been subbed about a year, but I'm home sick from being an EMT & studying with my extra time. Your videos have been an incredible resource of science-based reasoning, made easy to understand. Thanks.
@@jamescatlover123 Look back at in the videos, Dr Seheult did about a week or so ago (in was the video were he first covered vit - D) as he also covered Vit-C and in that test it not show much promise with regard to viral infections.
@Wednesday's Child Somatostatin (a hormone also secreted during infection and inflammation) inhibits Ghrelin secretion. Ghrelin is one of the main/the main "hunger hormone".
Fever WILL cause discomfort, that is one of its signals : to tell you to Slow down, use blankets, and get as much rest and sleep as you can. VERY important though is to KEEP well hydrated and eat whatever you can tolerate... remember that a. fever needs much higher metabolism to help ; otherwise it may cause harm (and good effects are lost)
Fevers use to scare me terribly as a child. I always had delusions and heard things. I had a fever one time of 104 when I was around 7 or 8 I think. The thought of having it like that again terrifies me.
@@conniestone6251 Yes, I meant I would take something or recommend something for excessive discomfort. But I guess everyone has their limits. And agreed, eating and staying hydrated is very important when febrile.
the first comment ! this is the first light in otherwise a dark world . stay safe everyone, we will get through this together by sticking together and staying apart at the same time!
Thank you for your commitment to share information with us. I believe that you are keeping our family well-informed and therefore safe. Thank you for everything that you do.
Another big Thank You from a long term RN. I’ve sent links to my medical friends and they have passed links to retired geologists, family, mathematicians, high school science teachers, and house keepers. When you can teach and inform this entire spectrum of people, it a gift. ✌🏼
Clinical Pharm.D. in pediatrics and intensive care... your new information is priceless and difficult to find in summary ; while your refreshment of concepts half-forgotten are always welcome and fascinating.
Being an educator I'm very impressed by your lectures. They are clear and logical, enabling a nitwit like me to understand how things work at a level I never had much interest for. My thanks to the whole team involved for informing the public and being a bastion of rationality in this whole sorry mess.
My favorite Doctor validated something I've known for years! Fevers are designed to help us recover..Optimum immune system function at higher temperatures. Something so simple and well known but easily forgotten.
Very interesting, I am in the UK. I started feeling ill on the 22nd February with aches and shivering. The morning after I woke up with conjunctivitis. The aches and chill got progressively worse until I was laid up in bed for 3 days with a peak temperature of 40.8ºC. I was ill for 7 days in total. The following week my Mother had similar symptoms, minus the conjunctivitis, followed by other family members and colleagues. Maybe I had Covid-19, maybe I didn't. It will be interesting to see wether I did or not when test kits are made available to the public. Thank you so much for these videos. By far the most informative and reliable information source out there for SARS CoV2/Covid19
@@AT-bq1kg Paracetamol isn't really considered a NSAID though, so it doesn't get the double whammy that Ibuprofen etc. gives. Both French health authorities and WHO has warned against the use of Ibuprofen specifically for symptomatic treatment of suspected Covid-19.
I W i was lab diagnosed and I was told to take paracetamol by the nurse, the fever got so high I was hearing things and putting my clothes on back to front so sometimes it needs to come down
Feed a Fever, Starve a Cold is what I heard. Makes sense if you are running a fever you are burning more calories. Fasting can actually help a number of health issues, (not diabetes, keep your blood sugar steady).
@@recoveringsoul755 yes let fever run its bodies self defense feed a fever starve a cold let your body sweat it out and yes tepid flannel on neck and forehead my mum was ww2 nurse
I've been watching your videos for a long time and I just want to say that no matter how many or few people watch your channel, please do not stop making videos You are incredible and one of the most valuable medicine content creators on youtube. I wish I could shake your hand through the screen
A common practice my parents and grandparents did when any family member was having a cold is sitting the sick one next to a big steaming pot ( full of boiled herbs) with a thick blanket over to keep the heat from escaping . It would get so hot inside, but pretty much after just 1 session, we would feel 80% relieved and recover quickly. Alternatively my mum would wrap a thick quilt over me despite my fever! Now I understand the elevated body temp helps with immune function and detox ( via sweating ) helps body to fight the infection effectively.
This was known in early January when one of China’s top experts had conjunctivitis after treating patients and then following the onset of a viral infection in his eyes, other symptoms ensued and he eventually died. He warned before passing that although he wore a mask, coveralls, and gloves...he failed to wear eye protection.
At the time cases started to be confirmed in USA, I woke up one day with what felt like very mild case of pink-eye (reddish inflamed conjunctivia, sticky mucus over eye, etc.) then treated with antibiotic drops for 3.5 days, which was 36 hours after complete resolution of symptoms (Rx was for 7 days; wife convinced me it wasn't pink eye but I know what pink eye feels like vs. allergy.) The Following days I had some symptoms consistent with upper sinus infection... very mild sore throat in AM and evening, treated by gargling with alcohol mouthwash in AM, and a shot of whisky kicked back hard in PM. Following that I had very mild sensation of chest tightness in AM, but no problems holding breath. No fever. No cough. It is now day 13 from the day I had the conjunctivitis, so hopefully I'm in the clear. I don't think it was COVID but the fact is that there were certainly points of potential exposure so it could have been. This experience makes me think that it could be worth investigating if exposure that beings in the sinus of around the eyes can be mitigated by taking appropriate anti-bacterial drops and/or good throat disinfection and, similar to taking anti-malaria drug, get things rolling so the immune system kick-starts into gear before it can reach the lungs. As others say, we won't be able to make heads or tails of what's going on though until we have an antibody test though.
I started doing research on this issue after I was very ill the last of December, followed by an eye infection. I travel to China for business regularly and had in fact returned from a trip on dec 3 and then went back on dec 17 through 23rd. On that last trip, I was very sick (very bad headaches, respiratory infection, flu like body aches) and sometime after Christmas I was healthy and in January developed the eye infection (both eyes). I went to my physician about this eye infection, who to my surprise was experiencing the same after just returning from Japan. The antibiotic drops he prescribed did not seem to make much of a difference but gradually the infection went away. Strange timing perhaps but it prompted me to research as much as I could once I had heard about this novel coronavirus. Stay healthy and be proactive!
eddie money the oral infection sounds like an abscess I get them all the time because I didn’t take care of my teeth as a kid. If it is an abscess you wanna drain it, sterilise a needle get a sewing needle bath it in alcohol and then hold a lighter under the needle for about 30 seconds and then wipe with a anti bacterial wipe then when you acc pop it be very gentle and try and go for the “head” of the abscess. Drain it over sink and rinse your mouth out after. trust me popping them is the best feeling in the world. And I’m not a doctor btw this is all from my dentist and google
Thanks u I’m a healthcare work PT working close with pts with covid! And ur lectures have been so informative and helps me keep up to date quickly to busy at work to even watch news and home busy with family! Burning the candle in both ends I will continue to watch and share! Thanks for all this work !
what? you didnt get tought why a human body increases temperature? protein cannot stand 42.5 degrees celcius. human protein neither. generating heat reduces viral effectivness, while the body can repair later on, the virus cannot.
My partner, who has the best, effortless health of anyone I know, first showed symptoms of COVID-19 on October 31. My partner fought it all the way until mid January, when I finally caught it. It took me until the end of November to realize how serious of a virus that my partner had. It just kept coming back. A few days of feeling better and then a full return of symptoms that were a little worse than the previous round. We saw family on 12/28 for Xmas, and just found out that my partner's stepmother picked it up and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia 12 days later. We are surprised that her Dad didn't pick it up, as he was still doing rounds of chemo during that time. Stepmother is a smoker. It took me 2 full months to 'clear' the virus that I picked up in January.
@@123danks no one ever said nurses have better common sense then the average. Just like doctors, they're probably taught prescribed medicine is the best solution.
Swedish anesthesiologist/ICUdr here. I am watching all of your videos currently. Impressive content - i must say that you manage to explain everything you take on very clearly - from vent management to cellular biology. This is by far the best part of my internet routine! Keep going
Thank you for your wonderful and so informative lectures. I'm a pediatrician and have been telling people for 35 years not to fight with fever during viral infection. But all my teaching gets erased after one visit to ER, where they are told to alternate between Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen every 3 hours!
I remember Richard Feynman calling medical science “cargo cult science”. At that time I was shocked by that statement. I hope that one day some very very bright people will help medical science progress beyond that stage. It helps to realize there are so many things we don’t know about. Unless of course you are the Chosen One, the Stable Genius in command. Then everything becomes so simple.
So the main takeaway from this lecture: a fever can be a n immune body response meant to fight of viral and or bacterial infections. Thank you for your informative lecture, well said.
Diego Reyes that was common knowledge among physicians in the end of XIX and early XX century up too 60’s or even 70’s. They can even estimate infection type by temperature progression. This data are hard to find since PubMed listed article from 70’s mainly in English language. If you want sth from early period - you need to go to library.
And why perhaps early reports showed that Advil type medicine seemed to cause more deaths. Seems to me that it was because Advil reduced the fever, allowing for the virus to spread more easily. Now if true that fever helps fight off the virus and it seems to be that by seeing some signs. I in my ignorant little mind would assume that a sauna or infrared theraphy body elevating mechansism would help defeat the virus. And it makes sense doesnt it? Dont they say covid19 dies at around 130degrees F?
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found your presentations! Your information is clear and precise! Thank you for taking the time to educate the public and other healthcare professionals! 🙏🏾
Today is the 5th day that I lost my sense of smell completely 😢 Apart from that I only have a runny nose sometimes but otherwise fine.. I am self isolating
Thank you for these very informative "lay person" videos. It has made a difference in how I feel about COVID 19. Your straight forward SCIENTIFIC explanation certainly helps this retired school librarian!!!

If a person with covid 19 is treated with hydroxycholoroquine and azithromycin, is the virus in the persons system long enough and of sufficient strength for that person to create antibodies and thus have immunity after he has recovered?
I've said it more than twice. This is such great information! You and your team are providing accurate education for us even with references, like it should be. Awesome! On a side note: my fiance is Russian. She just told me after watching your update that TB inoculation is standard in Russia. It will be interesting to see if their infection rate is lower.
As a nurse practitioner working in the Urgent Care I find your videos invaluable. They offer concise updates in a very timely fashion. The information you give The Articles you link to and your cautionary statements about the quality of data are absolutely fantastic. I can't thank you enough.
Thanks for what you do - my grandmother always told me to sweat out a fever, since then i never took meds for fever and if I was sick (rarely) it was always < 24 hours.
Thank you so much doctor, from the Netherlands. thanks to you I can make a minor difference in my community, just by informing them way ahead of and more in depth than official news outlets.
You are unique and elegant in your ability to communicate a basic concept and message, then layer in qualifying explanations at the same that you hold the interest of anyone who can read. People who can effectively teach 3rd graders and graduate level bio physiology are rare. You see the forest and the trees and don’t go down rabbit holes. You are valuable as a teacher of teaching - consider creating an exponential teaching curve
Having spent most of my life working in cold conditions I can attest to a Hot Bath, Dilute lemon juice & a shot of whiskey most of the time being beneficial. Keep them coming MedCram. Thank-you
Tried it , even tried mixing my tramadol , tiquilla , excedrin , cough drops and prayer together . Yup , go all in or go home . Well , none of it seemed to lessen symptoms . But I was in a pleasent mood . Smiling and feeling like I was dying .
I've been watching (indeed looking for) your updates now for over a month and you are SO helpful. Thank you. What you do is research important medical documents and summarize their important conclusions as they pertain to the current outbreak. I wouldn't even know how to interpret most of this data even if I knew how to look for these documents. You do both for us. Really meaningful work you do. Thank you again.
the one time I took fever-lowering meds, it felt like it made me sicker longer. now when I get a fever I dress warm and go to bed, when I wake up the fever is gone.
This video is outstanding as per you usual, Dr. Simply engaging and a true blessing to us all. It’s become standard practice to watch your videos during commute and on replay until the next one is published.
What’s making this data profound is that people are losing their sense of smell that are otherwise completely asymptotic- with no other symptoms whatsoever but still test positive for covid
I had red eyes, eyelid were swollen, urinary infection, heavy cough after been in contact with a chinese client in hotel n the month of the January around the 10th. Now I understand what was it. I never go to doctor but this time I was so scared and thought of going to doctor. I live in france I think this virus is in circulation since January. I took only herbal medicine like "nilavembu kidineer" Which is given to treat dengue in southern part of India.
I am not in the medical field but I so look forward to your programs during this pandemic. It should be must viewing for all. Gives me a sense of knowledge and control.
If you have fever, please don't lower it. A lot of professionals like _Dr. John Campbell_ said so "Fever is good for you". Lowering it might making your sickness worse That might be why Italy's death rate is so high, they might have used medicines that lowering fever
Skunky Budtoker I have no idea what you’re talking about, but when you let party lines prevent you from listening to others, you risk cutting off vital information. This goes for Dems too.
Your tracking of this virus and your research has helped me from the beginning to understand what we are dealing with and better ways to protect myself and my community. I've shared your videos with my larger community and they are better prepared for it. Thank you.
I'm an IT Professional and have no background in medicine or health, in fact I haven't needed to go to a doctor for the last 20yrs. These are very interesting vlogs and the presentations are superb. I'd like to know what application you use for the 'blackboard'?
Very interesting ! the fact that you checking any update, research or study done in the world makes you unique and better than any other sites. You have an open-mind to discovery about this problem and it is unique and refreshing when so many other people refuse to open their mind. You are providing a great information done by somebody with knowledge and I follow your update every day. Thank you !
Thanks for your great presentations. Just a small mistake in hard-coded subtitle at 8':51" : P_values of less than 0.05 means statistical significance( not 0.5)
These videos are excellent! Where I work in the primary care centre dealing with covid 19 patients, these videos are being shared and watched by our fellow colleagues, an excellent source of knowledge and debate!
I'm 62 so this memory goes way back but I recall that when I or my siblings got sick, my dad (who had been a medic in WWII), would tell us that the fever was a GOOD thing, that it was there to help fight the infection. So even then, it was known that fevers were beneficial (although they didn't feel great). What happened to us since then? Throughout the last several decades, we've become intolerant to discomfort of any kind;, including the discomfort of a fever. We are QUICK to grab a couple Advil and settle in for a nap. Thank you, Dr Seheult, for reminding me that a 'fever' is actually a good thing for my immune system. Next time I have a fever, I won't be so quick to knock it out with OTC pain relievers.
I am the same age and I was taught the same thing. Every time I caught the flu, or a cold, I would wrap up, drink lots of water, and "sweat it out". I was always "back up and running" in only a couple of days with just the "leftover" symptoms that cleared soon after.
@@JeffCounsil-rp4qv Having been in theatre couple decades ago building mobile hospitals i do remember "fever is good. call me if it's over 40C-ish" being the norm in treatments of just about everything infectious. Human body is a wonderful machine if you don't smother it with medication just because "i don't like sweating or feeling sick".
yea, before antibiotic was available to fight infection there was a method to cure syphilis by deliberately infecting the patient with malaria parasites because malaria is known to trigger a high fever.
Cat Bee Yes! I grew up being taught this too! It's so interesting to me that these studies are more recent. Guess being taught that made me think it was a medical fact proven long ago. The older I get, the more I understand how little we humans know about how the body works!
i was long ago, tought that fever is induced by the human body to get rid of an infection. Love the updates on research though! Very informative videos.
Yes, exactly. Has there been a vaccum of knowledge that this is new info? I was told growing up that bacterias and viruses are weakened by the raise in body temp. Bring Dominican American, I grew being given Vicks vapor rub and told to get under the cover and sweet it out, drink fluids, curb your eating. Then given concoction of onions and honey and vit C. Meds only extreme fevers.
Wonder if the coronavirus that causes colds (not retrovirus cold) also causes lost of smell and taste because many times with bad cold and cough I lost sense of taste and smell for just a few days. Straight up hot pepper powder did sometimes help bring back both smell and taste.
Thank you for these insightful detailed, potentially lifesaving saving explanations! You have great skill at bringing this information and your assessments to lighten our concerns and provide options for self directed actions. Blessed to have found you! Your learning and sharing is deeply appreciated!
This is a great approach to helping "flatten the curve". I would like to hear some info about why UV light is not being used to disinfect or how the summer sunlight UV rays may or may not help. BioChem major here with a minor in Histology and Virology. I love and appreciate all your work and how you present it. You could probably throw and ad or two in here we would all understand and like to help you get some funding. Thanks!!!
Waiting to watch these videos is the highlight of my day. Thank you so much for sharing the information in a way that is simple to understand. I am just a yoga teacher, but over the day I teach between 50-60 people on line with yoga and meditation to help through this experience. Understanding the facts from you has helped me reassure my students that they can be useful and helpful. It has helped me feel grounded and calm...which in turn translates to my students. Please stay well and safe.
As someone with type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, and Sjogren's Disease I would be interested in hearing how these things might impact my resistance to or recovery from Covid 19?
I am registered nurse, I have lupus, which is also autoimmune disorder, our immune system does attack our body, but our actual immunity is low, they check your blood for white blood cell count, and in us it is low, that is why we are at a higher risk to catch viruses, flu, covid 19, Dr.S. just did a medcram video telling how most of us are deficient in vitamins D, A, Zinc,C,, these viamins help fight upper respiratory infections, he did video on April 21st, think it will help you
Wow, I am so incredibly grateful for your informative videos right now. There's nothing better than being thoroughly informed by your content about covid19 right now. Your info makes the crisis feel a little less frightening. Thank you from Spain!
So if someone has had a temp 1-1.5 degrees higher than normal for a week or so they are probably fighting an infection even if it doesn’t meet the medical definition of fever.
@BlackPill Jesus yeah my temp is normally low (I test it randomly when healthy) and doctors brush me off when I say it's only 37.5 but I know it's abnormal
@@shellderp You should tell them this is abnormal for you. My normal temp is 35.7 (ranges from 35.2 to 36.2). At 36.6 I get slight fever chills. When I tell my doctor about my normal temp they always understand and they accept 37 as being fever for me.
@@shellderp my normal temp is a degree below other people's normal. It is common in people with Rh negative blood (only 9% of Asian people have Rh negative blood, and 7% of those are O-, so the other 3 types make up only 2% combined).
@@Nesjamag Yes, these various medical tracking devices if used properly (i.e., consistently at the same time in the same context) allow you build a database that you can share with your doctor to show what is normal for you. Data works.
I am curious as to how well Finland will cope with this epidemic since they are known for frequent use of saunas which are a sort of temporary artificial fever.
Ever since I've heard that the virus does not like heat, I've been asking if a Dry Sauna would help either prevent it before it takes hold, or treat it early. I have no access to one, but it would be nice to know
@@recoveringsoul755 There are not so many studies about the effects of Sauna. However there are evidences that heat as well as cold, when controlled, are stresses that can be beneficial for the body overall (including immune system). However i would definitely avoid any stress when you are sick. We know that having a 10 min sauna or fasting for 1 day, although being stresses, are not harmful, therefore even if the scientific data is not so solid, we can still do that safely (and eventually benefit from it). When you are sick your body is already under stress, so there is no reason in doing sports, sauna, fasting, or whatever. When you are sick the best you can do is stay protected, avoid stress and eat healthy if possible. Leave the rest to when you feel good!
@Mark Kelly You may like to check the beginning of this video. A scientist/doctor explains this; he shows a graph on min 4:00! 👋 "DARK TO LIGHT: New CORONAVIRUS Study finds that HEAT and LIGHT could ELIMINATE the Virus | Briefing" ua-cam.com/video/mMMcmgG1Joc/v-deo.html
I think it depends on each person and how long it takes for them to pass away or not need the support anymore. I've read some cases and some patients can be on it for over 4 weeks (although this seems less common from the few reports/articles I've read). It looks like a case per case kind of deal and how well and quickly the patients body can fight the virus.
Dr. Seheult, Thank you for doing this! 👍 It is such a huge relief to have a news source that explains facts and isn't using scintillating headlines just to grab viewers. Keep up the great work 😀
Hi! Great videos. Suggested topic of discussion: More than half of those who died in Wuhan(doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736) were infected by a secondary bacterial infection. It has been suggested that there is a correlation between countries with large numbers of antibiotic resistant bacteria and their COVID-19 case fatality rate. Italy is one of the worst countries in Europe on the topic of antibiotic resistance. They give out twice as much antibiotics to humans than their northern counterparts, and use tonnes of antibiotics in their Pork industry(here 70% of E. coli are resistant) In Italian hospitals these resistant bacteria thrive according to ECDC, Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Europe 2018. If this correlation has a causal connection then this is an important wake up call on the topic of reducing the use of antibiotics.
They'll hit snooze. Probably same as China, Malaysia, Indonesia with wet markets, bats and civet cats, and illegally importing endangered animals,... worry about it another day... another year, another decade. Oh, and the Pangolin scales, keep eating those Pangolin scales because powdered they're an aphrodisiac or whatever.
I am an Architect. I have NO medical background or understanding.
However, I can not explain how incredible your videos have been. I've been watching your content from around the start of Feb and it's so well explained.

As a retired RN with RA, I find these video lectures extremely helpful. Thank you!
Growing up in South Korea, my grandma taught me not to use fever reducer, instead make the body wrapped up in blankets to keep it hot but use a cold compress to the forehead and base of the neck to keep brain from being fried. Once I sweated out, virus is gone no secondary infections of any kind. Glad to see modern medicine is finally catching up to this.
Brain damage from a fever generally will not occur unless the fever is over 107.6°F (42°C).
Sounds about right. Smart grandma who probably learned that from prior generations.
South Korea seems handling this pandemic the best because they lowest death.
Sweating does help, I remember being sick as a kid and my mom gave me this medicine. It made me sweat so much that it was making me uncomfortable and annoyed. However, my condition was gone and I felt a lot better.
I used to do something similar when I had the flue..but in a tub of hot water. I would raise my temperature while keeping my neck and head cool. ..then wrap up in bed and sweat it out. It was tiring but worked every time!
Roger, I want to begin with saying that we are so grateful to you dedicating time and effort to educating and updating us the normal folks on this evolving crisis. It's been tremendously helpful on many fronts. One thing I would like you to touch upon is the closed cases numbers. Every active case is going to be closed by either recovery or death. Don't you think it's therefore the most important statistic? The death rate among the closed cases used to be 14% about two weeks ago. Last week it rose to 15% and now it's 16%. I find this figure both crucial and frightening. I hope you see my comment and shed some light on this issue in one of your next videos so we have a better understanding of the significance of this important aspect.
-Sincerely yours from Saudi Arabia
The reason you shouldn't be frightened with the higher death rate with closed cases is the simple fact that:
A) Most cases are not reported..so these closed cases are a fraction of the reality.
B) Complete recovery takes more than 6 weeks in many cases. So many more that aren't closed will be closed soon with a good result.
C) Average time from first symptoms to death is 14 days.
This point supports B.
There are many sick people that have passed that medium and are not closed cases.They will not die.
Also, I wonder if everybody that is dealing with it at home. Confirmed cases but mild actually get tested again after they completely recover. Do they all go back? Are some hospitals not bothering to test them because of a lack of kits? You would think not bit I don't know the standards in all the countries.
I still think you have a great idea. But don't let these stats make you afraid.
@@user-ys7ur5em1k I think your some what correct in (1) I believe a lot more people have been or are currently infected then active case rate shows. The US likely has the most structured and diligent approaches to capturing this information. SK and Taiwan can be effective in their urban centers, however outside of that their healthcare systems break down ( have worked in both of the countries mentioned so this is a first hand observation). However what to me is scary (being in the high risk population) is the rapid rate at which the infection can progresses to death. In typical flu deaths the victims which are "normally" the elderly it seems (at least from my experience) that there is a longer path to mortality then with COVID-19. In short the drop off "seem" very statistically VERY steep to me...
One thing to consider is if the patients are dying from CV-19 or if they are dying from complications of the disease. Its a subtle difference but meaningful . . . those comorbidities are crucial to this disease apparently.
I am convinced mortality rates are being massively exaggerated by inadequate testing and the way the statistics are gathered and that Germany which has the most extensive testing regime in Europe is much closer to the real figures (around 0.7%) but even this is probably too high because even here deaths of patients who had other terminal illness are still registered as coronavirus even where cause of death cannot be attributed to it,
I believe once the new testing kits are available and extensive testing takes place it will be revealed that many people have already had the virus but were asymptomatic or suffered only mild illness not attributed to Cornavirus. Once these figures are taken account of the mortality rate will be reduced up to ten-fold and it will be revealed current lock-down measures are unwarranted and that herd immunity is pretty much reached.
Would love a video on this from his very neutral and scientific perspective.
@@Muckylittleme The absolute best example we have to calculate R0 & CFR is the ill-fated cruise ship, Diamond Princess, which sat quarantined in Yokohama Harbor in Japan, & from that we see CFR = ~3%. The health of those onboard probably skews higher than the general population, since the customers were wealthy & well-enough to vacation & the crew were virtually all young & healthy. Of 712 individuals who fell ill & were hospitalized in Japan, 1.4% have passed away & another 1.7% remain in critical condition on ventilators/ life support. Sadly, remaining on life-support after a month of illness rarely leads to positive outcomes, so I'd project this will reach about 3% CFR.
The best source of information out there. Weeks ahead of the news media. Living in Australia I feel you're keeping me ahead of the game. Thanks Dr and medcram team.

Loss of smell- zinc deficiency. Conjuctivitus- Vit A. Both are vital to fighting infections. Both are depleted during infections
thanks, carrot is a vit A rich vegetable, and this is why it's recommended for good eye health
Orange/dark yellow yolk eggs from pasture-raised chickens is an amazing source for zinc and Vitamin A.
Vitamin C too
Smoked oyster has very high concentrations of zinc
@@jamescatlover123 Look back at in the videos, Dr Seheult did about a week or so ago (in was the video were he first covered vit - D) as he also covered Vit-C and in that test it not show much promise with regard to viral infections.
This doctor should win the medal when this is all over.
As my professor once said, fever is one of the hallmarks that the body is fighting an infection. Thanks for the update, doctor.
@Wednesday's Child Somatostatin (a hormone also secreted during infection and inflammation) inhibits Ghrelin secretion. Ghrelin is one of the main/the main "hunger hormone".

I'm a nurse and have been arguing this for forever. Unless a fever is excessive or causing discomfort....let it do its thing!
Granddaughter had influenza B temp on ibuprofen was still 103.5
Fever WILL cause discomfort, that is one of its signals : to tell you to Slow down, use blankets, and get as much rest and sleep as you can. VERY important though is to KEEP well hydrated and eat whatever you can tolerate... remember that a. fever needs much higher metabolism to help ; otherwise it may cause harm (and good effects are lost)
Fevers use to scare me terribly as a child. I always had delusions and heard things. I had a fever one time of 104 when I was around 7 or 8 I think. The thought of having it like that again terrifies me.
@@yt_wv_hollow8986 104 is high.... I would absolutely give something to bring it down in that case. That does sound scary!
@@conniestone6251 Yes, I meant I would take something or recommend something for excessive discomfort. But I guess everyone has their limits. And agreed, eating and staying hydrated is very important when febrile.

These videos are the only thing that calms me down.
Thank you for your commitment to share information with us. I believe that you are keeping our family well-informed and therefore safe. Thank you for everything that you do.

Something so simple and well known but easily forgotten.
I've known this, but it's tough to "remember" when you're the one in bed with a fever.

Very interesting, I am in the UK. I started feeling ill on the 22nd February with aches and shivering. The morning after I woke up with conjunctivitis. The aches and chill got progressively worse until I was laid up in bed for 3 days with a peak temperature of 40.8ºC. I was ill for 7 days in total. The following week my Mother had similar symptoms, minus the conjunctivitis, followed by other family members and colleagues. Maybe I had Covid-19, maybe I didn't. It will be interesting to see wether I did or not when test kits are made available to the public.
Thank you so much for these videos. By far the most informative and reliable information source out there for SARS CoV2/Covid19

Feed a Fever, Starve a Cold is what I heard. Makes sense if you are running a fever you are burning more calories. Fasting can actually help a number of health issues, (not diabetes, keep your blood sugar steady).

You are incredible and one of the most valuable medicine content creators on youtube. I wish I could shake your hand through the screen
A common practice my parents and grandparents did when any family member was having a cold is sitting the sick one next to a big steaming pot ( full of boiled herbs) with a thick blanket over to keep the heat from escaping . It would get so hot inside, but pretty much after just 1 session, we would feel 80% relieved and recover quickly. Alternatively my mum would wrap a thick quilt over me despite my fever! Now I understand the elevated body temp helps with immune function and detox ( via sweating ) helps body to fight the infection effectively.
Grandpa's "ehhh! Sweat it out!" advice (God rest his soul) seems so ahead of its time now 😁
✌😁 damnnnn
This was known in early January when one of China’s top experts had conjunctivitis after treating patients and then following the onset of a viral infection in his eyes, other symptoms ensued and he eventually died. He warned before passing that although he wore a mask, coveralls, and gloves...he failed to wear eye protection.
At the time cases started to be confirmed in USA, I woke up one day with what felt like very mild case of pink-eye (reddish inflamed conjunctivia, sticky mucus over eye, etc.) then treated with antibiotic drops for 3.5 days, which was 36 hours after complete resolution of symptoms (Rx was for 7 days; wife convinced me it wasn't pink eye but I know what pink eye feels like vs. allergy.) The Following days I had some symptoms consistent with upper sinus infection... very mild sore throat in AM and evening, treated by gargling with alcohol mouthwash in AM, and a shot of whisky kicked back hard in PM. Following that I had very mild sensation of chest tightness in AM, but no problems holding breath. No fever. No cough. It is now day 13 from the day I had the conjunctivitis, so hopefully I'm in the clear. I don't think it was COVID but the fact is that there were certainly points of potential exposure so it could have been.
This experience makes me think that it could be worth investigating if exposure that beings in the sinus of around the eyes can be mitigated by taking appropriate anti-bacterial drops and/or good throat disinfection and, similar to taking anti-malaria drug, get things rolling so the immune system kick-starts into gear before it can reach the lungs. As others say, we won't be able to make heads or tails of what's going on though until we have an antibody test though.
Robert Law whisky really helps whenever I’m sick idk why. The hard part is keeping it to one glass haha

I started doing research on this issue after I was very ill the last of December, followed by an eye infection. I travel to China for business regularly and had in fact returned from a trip on dec 3 and then went back on dec 17 through 23rd. On that last trip, I was very sick (very bad headaches, respiratory infection, flu like body aches) and sometime after Christmas I was healthy and in January developed the eye infection (both eyes). I went to my physician about this eye infection, who to my surprise was experiencing the same after just returning from Japan. The antibiotic drops he prescribed did not seem to make much of a difference but gradually the infection went away. Strange timing perhaps but it prompted me to research as much as I could once I had heard about this novel coronavirus. Stay healthy and be proactive!
eddie money the oral infection sounds like an abscess I get them all the time because I didn’t take care of my teeth as a kid. If it is an abscess you wanna drain it, sterilise a needle get a sewing needle bath it in alcohol and then hold a lighter under the needle for about 30 seconds and then wipe with a anti bacterial wipe then when you acc pop it be very gentle and try and go for the “head” of the abscess. Drain it over sink and rinse your mouth out after. trust me popping them is the best feeling in the world. And I’m not a doctor btw this is all from my dentist and google

Extremely helpful updates. Keeping everyone updated with all relevant research and progresses in the fight against COVID-19
As a healthcare worker, these updates are coming in handy. Every point is broken down succinctly. Thank you so much.
this is so interesting, as a nurse, I don't think I have ever considered the therapeutic effect of an elevated temperature in response to infection.
snoopjet LoL start watching some natural drs and no telling what else you will learn. You will also learn what vitamins to take to avoid this mess.
what? you didnt get tought why a human body increases temperature? protein cannot stand 42.5 degrees celcius. human protein neither. generating heat reduces viral effectivness, while the body can repair later on, the virus cannot.
Snoopjet must be joking. Otherwise it’s even worse than I imagined.
My partner, who has the best, effortless health of anyone I know, first showed symptoms of COVID-19 on October 31. My partner fought it all the way until mid January, when I finally caught it. It took me until the end of November to realize how serious of a virus that my partner had. It just kept coming back. A few days of feeling better and then a full return of symptoms that were a little worse than the previous round. We saw family on 12/28 for Xmas, and just found out that my partner's stepmother picked it up and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia 12 days later. We are surprised that her Dad didn't pick it up, as he was still doing rounds of chemo during that time. Stepmother is a smoker. It took me 2 full months to 'clear' the virus that I picked up in January.
@@123danks no one ever said nurses have better common sense then the average. Just like doctors, they're probably taught prescribed medicine is the best solution.

Thank you for your wonderful and so informative lectures. I'm a pediatrician and have been telling people for 35 years not to fight with fever during viral infection. But all my teaching gets erased after one visit to ER, where they are told to alternate between Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen every 3 hours!
Marian Olpinski Yep!
I remember Richard Feynman calling medical science “cargo cult science”. At that time I was shocked by that statement. I hope that one day some very very bright people will help medical science progress beyond that stage. It helps to realize there are so many things we don’t know about. Unless of course you are the Chosen One, the Stable Genius in command. Then everything becomes so simple.
Thankyou doc. I am so lucky to discover this channel. Great contribution to a temporarily depressed humanity.
So the main takeaway from this lecture: a fever can be a n immune body response meant to fight of viral and or bacterial infections. Thank you for your informative lecture, well said.
Diego Reyes that was common knowledge among physicians in the end of XIX and early XX century up too 60’s or even 70’s. They can even estimate infection type by temperature progression. This data are hard to find since PubMed listed article from 70’s mainly in English language. If you want sth from early period - you need to go to library.
duh bro
@G Galilei He will probably get to that - actually he's already covered some of that long ago - see his past videos in this series dealing with sleep.
And why perhaps early reports showed that Advil type medicine seemed to cause more deaths. Seems to me that it was because Advil reduced the fever, allowing for the virus to spread more easily. Now if true that fever helps fight off the virus and it seems to be that by seeing some signs. I in my ignorant little mind would assume that a sauna or infrared theraphy body elevating mechansism would help defeat the virus. And it makes sense doesnt it? Dont they say covid19 dies at around 130degrees F?

NY is 2-3 weeks away from peak?? God help us in Chicago! 😟
Btw thank u for not missing a beat!
Thank you so, so much for the updates and information.
I really appreciate this, based on facts with source couldn't be any better
it is aerosol for 3 hours.
If a person with covid 19 is treated with hydroxycholoroquine and azithromycin, is the virus in the persons system long enough and of sufficient strength for that person to create antibodies and thus have immunity after he has recovered?
you are right about fever.
I feel so validated by this video. My nursing judgement and research said that same thing. Thanks for the work and scientific research
I've said it more than twice. This is such great information! You and your team are providing accurate education for us even with references, like it should be. Awesome!
On a side note: my fiance is Russian. She just told me after watching your update that TB inoculation is standard in Russia. It will be interesting to see if their infection rate is lower.
As a nurse practitioner working in the Urgent Care I find your videos invaluable. They offer concise updates in a very timely fashion. The information you give The Articles you link to and your cautionary statements about the quality of data are absolutely fantastic. I can't thank you enough.
Thanks for what you do - my grandmother always told me to sweat out a fever, since then i never took meds for fever and if I was sick (rarely) it was always < 24 hours.
Thank you so much doctor, from the Netherlands. thanks to you I can make a minor difference in my community, just by informing them way ahead of and more in depth than official news outlets.
Thank you for your detailed yet understandable and practical updates.
You are unique and elegant in your ability to communicate a basic concept and message, then layer in qualifying explanations at the same that you hold the interest of anyone who can read. People who can effectively teach 3rd graders and graduate level bio physiology are rare. You see the forest and the trees and don’t go down rabbit holes. You are valuable as a teacher of teaching - consider creating an exponential teaching curve
Having spent most of my life working in cold conditions I can attest to a Hot Bath, Dilute lemon juice & a shot of whiskey most of the time being beneficial. Keep them coming MedCram. Thank-you
The hot bath and a shot of whiskey sounds great...lemon juice, not so much...lol
@@catbee1452 We called it a "hot toddy", a shot of 100 proof Southern Comfort in a cup of hot tea.
My time in Russia showed a double shot before getting into a hot bed was helpful
All three things you mentioned depend upon what time of the day you engage on these activities. Or the results would be counterproductive.🙂
Tried it , even tried mixing my tramadol , tiquilla , excedrin , cough drops and prayer together . Yup , go all in or go home . Well , none of it seemed to lessen symptoms . But I was in a pleasent mood . Smiling and feeling like I was dying .
I've been watching (indeed looking for) your updates now for over a month and you are SO helpful. Thank you. What you do is research important medical documents and summarize their important conclusions as they pertain to the current outbreak. I wouldn't even know how to interpret most of this data even if I knew how to look for these documents. You do both for us. Really meaningful work you do. Thank you again.
the one time I took fever-lowering meds, it felt like it made me sicker longer. now when I get a fever I dress warm and go to bed, when I wake up the fever is gone.
John Smith you finna wake up in heaven
This video is outstanding as per you usual, Dr. Simply engaging and a true blessing to us all. It’s become standard practice to watch your videos during commute and on replay until the next one is published.
I had conjuctivitis when i got the flu in the month of january.i also lost sense of smell. It happens in both the cases cold and corona so .
What’s making this data profound is that people are losing their sense of smell that are otherwise completely asymptotic- with no other symptoms whatsoever but still test positive for covid
I had red eyes, eyelid were swollen, urinary infection, heavy cough after been in contact with a chinese client in hotel n the month of the January around the 10th. Now I understand what was it. I never go to doctor but this time I was so scared and thought of going to doctor. I live in france I think this virus is in circulation since January. I took only herbal medicine like "nilavembu kidineer" Which is given to treat dengue in southern part of India.
Pooh vlogs were you tested for CoVid-19?
Thanks Doc. I really appreciate you taking the time to prepare and share these updates -- has helped calm my anxiety about this virus immensely.
My go to source for reliable information !!! :))
All of your videos have been truly excellent. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
Recirculated air in buildings makes New York a breeding ground...
I wonder who thought "no hepa2 filters in ventilation is fine" was a good idea. Those would filter out >99% of "the bad stuff" :/
Yeah, there is a recent report of the virus surviving on surfaces for 17 days on a cruise ship....
@@teleotto if I remember correctly it was said here that while it was RNA found, it was no longer active.
Don't worry, Andrew Cuomo let all those people go home to Long Island and Florida since he wouldn't sign a shelter in place order.
@@iloveamerica1966 Shelter in place doesn't mean you can't go home if you live elsewhere.
I am not in the medical field but I so look forward to your programs during this pandemic. It should be must viewing for all. Gives me a sense of knowledge and control.
If you have fever, please don't lower it. A lot of professionals like _Dr. John Campbell_ said so
"Fever is good for you". Lowering it might making your sickness worse
That might be why Italy's death rate is so high, they might have used medicines that lowering fever
Campbell is 10% quack- totally disregarding antivirals the last 14 days.
Dr John is my second go-to during this pandemic
That man is brilliant.
@@iloveamerica1966 I'm starting to think the same. He really loves China. Praises them way too much.
Campbell IS NOT a medical doctor!
Skunky Budtoker I have no idea what you’re talking about, but when you let party lines prevent you from listening to others, you risk cutting off vital information. This goes for Dems too.
Your tracking of this virus and your research has helped me from the beginning to understand what we are dealing with and better ways to protect myself and my community. I've shared your videos with my larger community and they are better prepared for it. Thank you.
I'm an IT Professional and have no background in medicine or health, in fact I haven't needed to go to a doctor for the last 20yrs. These are very interesting vlogs and the presentations are superb.
I'd like to know what application you use for the 'blackboard'?
The application is SmoothDraw4.
But you go once a year for a check-up, right?
@@iloveamerica1966 You're buying, right?
@@Bartisim0 Thanks, I was wondering too. Seems he can save images and pull them up later for another video.
@@iloveamerica1966 Why?
Very interesting ! the fact that you checking any update, research or study done in the world makes you unique and better than any other sites. You have an open-mind to discovery about this problem and it is unique and refreshing when so many other people refuse to open their mind. You are providing a great information done by somebody with knowledge and I follow your update every day. Thank you !
Our elders said, let the fever run its course. The wisdom of experience.
Absolutely the best medical videos available for regular people!
Thanks for your great presentations. Just a small mistake in hard-coded subtitle at 8':51" : P_values of less than 0.05 means statistical significance( not 0.5)
These videos are excellent! Where I work in the primary care centre dealing with covid 19 patients, these videos are being shared and watched by our fellow colleagues, an excellent source of knowledge and debate!
I'm 62 so this memory goes way back but I recall that when I or my siblings got sick, my dad (who had been a medic in WWII), would tell us that the fever was a GOOD thing, that it was there to help fight the infection. So even then, it was known that fevers were beneficial (although they didn't feel great).
What happened to us since then? Throughout the last several decades, we've become intolerant to discomfort of any kind;, including the discomfort of a fever. We are QUICK to grab a couple Advil and settle in for a nap.
Thank you, Dr Seheult, for reminding me that a 'fever' is actually a good thing for my immune system. Next time I have a fever, I won't be so quick to knock it out with OTC pain relievers.
I am the same age and I was taught the same thing. Every time I caught the flu, or a cold, I would wrap up, drink lots of water, and "sweat it out". I was always "back up and running" in only a couple of days with just the "leftover" symptoms that cleared soon after.
@@JeffCounsil-rp4qv Having been in theatre couple decades ago building mobile hospitals i do remember "fever is good. call me if it's over 40C-ish" being the norm in treatments of just about everything infectious. Human body is a wonderful machine if you don't smother it with medication just because "i don't like sweating or feeling sick".
yea, before antibiotic was available to fight infection there was a method to cure syphilis by deliberately infecting the patient with malaria parasites because malaria is known to trigger a high fever.
Cat Bee Yes! I grew up being taught this too! It's so interesting to me that these studies are more recent. Guess being taught that made me think it was a medical fact proven long ago. The older I get, the more I understand how little we humans know about how the body works!
I didn't got bored on your lecture. Your explanations are not stressful. Thank you so much for a wonderful video. POWER!!!
i was long ago, tought that fever is induced by the human body to get rid of an infection.
Love the updates on research though! Very informative videos.
Yes, exactly. Has there been a vaccum of knowledge that this is new info? I was told growing up that bacterias and viruses are weakened by the raise in body temp. Bring Dominican American, I grew being given Vicks vapor rub and told to get under the cover and sweet it out, drink fluids, curb your eating. Then given concoction of onions and honey and vit C. Meds only extreme fevers.
@@EdwardCorcinos in northern ireland weve a saying "feed a cold and starve a fever"
Thank you for providing these clear and concise videos. Good to have a trusted source of information in these confusing times.
Good info. I've always found that after the fever breaks , the body begins to recover.
Knowledge beats fear everytime.
You are awesome, thanks sincerely for staying on top of this! Very Much Appreciated
i knew it! lost my sense of smell and was told that wasn’t a symptom. i tested positive yesterday.
Stay safe i hope you overcome this god bless
You will overcome it by god grace
Where r u at? (Just curious to City/state)
Wonder if the coronavirus that causes colds (not retrovirus cold) also causes lost of smell and taste because many times with bad cold and cough I lost sense of taste and smell for just a few days. Straight up hot pepper powder did sometimes help bring back both smell and taste.
Shemi Rama i am in brooklyn, ny.
Thank you for these insightful detailed, potentially lifesaving saving explanations! You have great skill at bringing this information and your assessments to lighten our concerns and provide options for self directed actions. Blessed to have found you! Your learning and sharing is deeply appreciated!
This is a great approach to helping "flatten the curve". I would like to hear some info about why UV light is not being used to disinfect or how the summer sunlight UV rays may or may not help. BioChem major here with a minor in Histology and Virology. I love and appreciate all your work and how you present it. You could probably throw and ad or two in here we would all understand and like to help you get some funding. Thanks!!!
Waiting to watch these videos is the highlight of my day. Thank you so much for sharing the information in a way that is simple to understand. I am just a yoga teacher, but over the day I teach between 50-60 people on line with yoga and meditation to help through this experience. Understanding the facts from you has helped me reassure my students that they can be useful and helpful. It has helped me feel grounded and calm...which in turn translates to my students. Please stay well and safe.
When we were very sick in 1967, my father treated our fever by wrapping us in a wool army blanket until our fever "broke". It definitely worked.
exactly ✌😁 damnnnn
My parents did the same 🙏🏼
The states needs this Dr. to the the voice and leader during these critical times.. currently not sure anyone is in charge
azae00 Vids naw that little Dr Fauci got us covered over here. Lol. Although he’s a bit scary. I like the lady dr better on the task force updates.
Please speak to those of us with an overactive immune system. Autoimmune diseases.
I'm curious about that too.
Me too.
It makes no sense to have your immune system attack your own body
As someone with type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, and Sjogren's Disease I would be interested in hearing how these things might impact my resistance to or recovery from Covid 19?
I am registered nurse, I have lupus, which is also autoimmune disorder, our immune system does attack our body, but our actual immunity is low, they check your blood for white blood cell count, and in us it is low, that is why we are at a higher risk to catch viruses, flu, covid 19, Dr.S. just did a medcram video telling how most of us are deficient in vitamins D, A, Zinc,C,, these viamins help fight upper respiratory infections, he did video on April 21st, think it will help you
Wow, I am so incredibly grateful for your informative videos right now. There's nothing better than being thoroughly informed by your content about covid19 right now. Your info makes the crisis feel a little less frightening. Thank you from Spain!
Dr. Seheult, thank you so much for the fascinating info on this disease and how we can potentially arm our immune systems to better fight it. 👍
Thank you for the great work! We are lucky we got you!!
So if someone has had a temp 1-1.5 degrees higher than normal for a week or so they are probably fighting an infection even if it doesn’t meet the medical definition of fever.
@BlackPill Jesus how long will it last until we break it
@BlackPill Jesus yeah my temp is normally low (I test it randomly when healthy) and doctors brush me off when I say it's only 37.5 but I know it's abnormal
@@shellderp You should tell them this is abnormal for you.
My normal temp is 35.7 (ranges from 35.2 to 36.2). At 36.6 I get slight fever chills.
When I tell my doctor about my normal temp they always understand and they accept 37 as being fever for me.
@@shellderp my normal temp is a degree below other people's normal. It is common in people with Rh negative blood (only 9% of Asian people have Rh negative blood, and 7% of those are O-, so the other 3 types make up only 2% combined).
@@Nesjamag Yes, these various medical tracking devices if used properly (i.e., consistently at the same time in the same context) allow you build a database that you can share with your doctor to show what is normal for you. Data works.
I look forward every day to your updates!
I am curious as to how well Finland will cope with this epidemic since they are known for frequent use of saunas which are a sort of temporary artificial fever.
Great point and think there are many factors for the high death rates
@Mark Kelly According to Finnish health institute (THL) they say sauna wont kill nor does it treat it. But it is an interesting thought tho.
Ever since I've heard that the virus does not like heat, I've been asking if a Dry Sauna would help either prevent it before it takes hold, or treat it early. I have no access to one, but it would be nice to know
@@recoveringsoul755 There are not so many studies about the effects of Sauna. However there are evidences that heat as well as cold, when controlled, are stresses that can be beneficial for the body overall (including immune system). However i would definitely avoid any stress when you are sick. We know that having a 10 min sauna or fasting for 1 day, although being stresses, are not harmful, therefore even if the scientific data is not so solid, we can still do that safely (and eventually benefit from it). When you are sick your body is already under stress, so there is no reason in doing sports, sauna, fasting, or whatever. When you are sick the best you can do is stay protected, avoid stress and eat healthy if possible. Leave the rest to when you feel good!
@Mark Kelly You may like to check the beginning of this video. A scientist/doctor explains this; he shows a graph on min 4:00! 👋

What is the average time a COVID-19 patient spends in a ventilator? -This is important to calculate how much ventilator capacity is needed.
I think it depends on each person and how long it takes for them to pass away or not need the support anymore. I've read some cases and some patients can be on it for over 4 weeks (although this seems less common from the few reports/articles I've read). It looks like a case per case kind of deal and how well and quickly the patients body can fight the virus.
@@JessentialLife Hence the use of the keyword "average."
If I die, cryofreeze my entire body and put all my organs in a robot.
Dr. Seheult, Thank you for doing this! 👍 It is such a huge relief to have a news source that explains facts and isn't using scintillating headlines just to grab viewers. Keep up the great work 😀
Hi! Great videos. Suggested topic of discussion:
More than half of those who died in Wuhan(doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736) were infected by a secondary bacterial infection.
It has been suggested that there is a correlation between countries with large numbers of antibiotic resistant bacteria and their COVID-19 case fatality rate.
Italy is one of the worst countries in Europe on the topic of antibiotic resistance. They give out twice as much antibiotics to humans than their northern counterparts, and use tonnes of antibiotics in their Pork industry(here 70% of E. coli are resistant)
In Italian hospitals these resistant bacteria thrive according to ECDC, Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Europe 2018.
If this correlation has a causal connection then this is an important wake up call on the topic of reducing the use of antibiotics.
Interesting info. Thanks.
They'll hit snooze. Probably same as China, Malaysia, Indonesia with wet markets, bats and civet cats, and illegally importing endangered animals,... worry about it another day... another year, another decade. Oh, and the Pangolin scales, keep eating those Pangolin scales because powdered they're an aphrodisiac or whatever.
