Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

I saw on Facebook late last night that Mike Fremer told one of his Audio Friends that he heard from Peter Lederman of Soundsmith that he is suffering his second round with COVID.  Peter said he has blood clots on his lungs. That is all the post said.  Here is hoping that Peter pulls through with a full recovery.

I would not hold my breath for those recults. So far, it appears very unpromising.

What's a recult? The drug has proven to be very safe thru all its uses and applications precovid. Most common complaint is skin sensitivity at the injection site. The  trial on the former president of the Philippines these last days as reported by his son is said be a life saver and after one shot, 3 more to go. The limited doses for the trial may include only government and political figures for the rest of this week. That sucks if true. If that works then they may bring the drug in for the general public, we hope. Then onto Brazil which is in Dire Straits..and not the band. Tom

theaudiotweak,

"What's a recult?"

Wrong finger on the wrong key. It was meant to be "results".

lewm explained the process very nicely and simply. We all hope that everything is the way you already see it, but there is not much ground for that optimism right now. It may be that the drug is safe, as in not having very bad side effects, but efficacy seems to be missing at this point in time. Even the fact that the president of Phillipines "got better" after one dose means virtually nothing for anyone but him. There are many more factors that may be at play so holding onto this particular straw is not much more than desperate wishful thinking. Relax, let the things settle and run their course. The company is trying to make money off of something they invested time and effort in. It just happens that it has not made a splash in any application quite yet, and maybe never will. It happens daily. It may be more common than success stories.

Just listened to a webcast by 
Dr. Bruce Patterson about covid 19
Long Haulers who may have multiple symptoms and who may need multiple drug therapies, no 2 patients being exactly the same.
He is going to be setting up a website for long haulers testing and therapies with a 100 different doctors involved. Tom

There may not be much need for that. Many of the hospitals, hopefully around your area included, have Long-COVID clinics that take care of that.
