Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Don’t put a name to examples. It will soon be reported as fact.

Do you know how long it takes to stop a semi traveling at highway speeds? The amended reports indicated he was on the highway legally and closing time was moved up to 5pm on short notice. I’m not sure how someone was supposed to know there were people massing on the interstate. He reportedly hit the horn and slowed down to 30 mph by the time he got to the crowd. He didn’t hit anyone and unless he states otherwise, nothing in the video indicated he was trying to injure anyone. You have no idea of what “he figured” nor his intentions. Let the authorities sort it out before we judge.

It took WCCO a long time to clear up the confusion about the truck being on the interstate before closure. He hit the horn and was able to stop. The scheduled time to close the interstate was 8pm and changed to 5pm with little notice. The road cleared and he started up again before people jumped on his truck, pulled him from the truck and attacked him. Driver was arrested. Whomever assaulted him should have been arrested. The video doesn’t appear to show the driver trying to deliberately run into protesters. Someone needs to figure out why he was driving there. Authorities will need to sort out the facts.

You hit the nail on the head. Maybe biggest key to making the step to competing for a National Championship. Both sides of line of scrimmage must get much better.

That means that if we can “treat them in our office” they are the ones we send home to self quarantine and unless they are in the group who develop increased respiratory problems, the disease make make them miserable for a few days, we don’t give Hydroxychloroquine/Azithromycin. Therefore, she may do so, but I need to know what Keikla and her colleagues are doing with the patients whose disease progression has become life threatening. What she and her colleagues have learned and shared is invaluable. (We have discussed her experiences and recommendations at our strategic planning sessions). It is consistent with what we are told by our Infectious Disease specialists and what is being reported throughout the medical world. Anecdotal stories from social media videos is not what will drive the strategy to combat this virus. The anecdotal experiences that medical providers are reporting to the CDC, State Health Departments, respected medical journals, respected medical associations and societies are where the compilation and reviews are taking place daily. We must remain flexible, vigilant and open minded. In my opinion that is why it is so difficult for our decision makers on both sides of the political spectrum to know what is best. What was thought to be best 2 months ago or 2 weeks ago changes. That is also why most of us in the medical profession want to avoid the political blather that ruins a reasonable discussion. We also need to understand the impact this crisis is having outside of the clinics and hospitals. There isn’t an easy answer. Just as important as paying attention to Keikla and learning from her experiences dealing first hand with life and death, while putting herself in harms way, and risking her life for the sake of other human beings, we need to listen to those who are losing their livelihoods, businesses, jobs etc. I read a pretty good post yesterday. The author stated “we are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm”. As we navigate our way as a nation let’s remember those whose boats in this storm are sinking or leaking or have sunk. Those who have lost family or loved ones or suffered this illness are going to have an opinion that may be different than those who get no stimulus check or unemployment It may be different than those whose hours have been cut back and aren’t sure if their old job will be there when this is over it may be different than those who invested everything they have in a business venture and have either lost everything or are in danger of losing everything I certainly don’t have all of the answers. My recommendation is for anyone who doesn’t feel perfectly healthy (or normal for you), stay home and isolate until you are absolutely sure you aren’t ill. Call your doctor or provider if you aren’t improving or don’t know what to do. Wear a mask when you are around other people. Don’t worry that it might not help much cuz it might and it shouldn’t hurt. If you re-open your business’s follow CDC and health department guidelines. As we re-open businesses etc. we will face the risk of this disease for some time yet. Let’s remain vigilant.

Then when you treat your patients prescribe the meds you believe are best for your patients.

To summarize, we have a deadly virus and we learn more each day. Our treatment plans change weekly if not more frequently.

She is no more an expert than I and Has less experience than Keikla. I review the medical literature, CDC reports and Reports from the state health dept as well as pay attention and learn from our colleague (Keikla) in NY. I don’t pay attention to some activist who treats Covid patients in her office. Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin is on our list of treatment options but doesn’t seem to be the “game changer” we initially thought.

What you describe is anecdotal. The fact that someone was given Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin and improved doesn’t mean it was necessarily due to the medications. Weigh your friends story against Keikla’s experience in a NY hospital in the center of the NY Covid outbreak and the collected evidence of other physicians, PA’s, Nurses and Nurse Practioners reported in the medical literature. What is your source? Those of us in the medical profession are curious. Your comments, (other than your friends recovery) is social media noise.

Only the player knows how he feels and why he chooses to do what he does. How would anyone know if he is “mad”? You don’t do “power plays” to get more playing time. It’s really none of our business. He contributed to the program so good luck to Cam and thanks for your efforts.

Great post.

Yes

What about it? I have no idea what he does with his money. It’s none of my business. It would be great if he gave a big donation to UND, but many people will delay their major donations until later in life. People’s idea of a major donation varies. How much does he need to give to meet your expectations? Most people with tens of millions set up a trust. Maybe someday there will be money directed to UND for scholarships or another area important to Jackson.

Net worth estimated at $70 million. What he does with his money is his business.

There are a number of wealthy people who many of us would like to direct where their money goes. There is still plenty of time for Jackson to donate to UND.

I recall he has given money to UND. UND used to provide an annual summary of donors. He has been included in the past. You weren’t “just asking” you referred to him as a “loser”. What the hell is the matter with you? Who are you to judge the guy? Your last sentence pretty much sums it up.

“High horse”? To your knowledge? What knowledge? Jackson hasn’t indicated he has an issue with UND. When he was last here he was very gracious. You haven’t the faintest idea what you are taking about.

1. Yes to question one. Let her work at home. Question 2 would be no if she can work and yes if she can’t. There are way to many people disabled who could be working and the employers often have desk work or other work the person could do but too many providers write notes or sign disability forms for wrong reason. 2. This is tougher. If he is still immunocompromised, he should qualify for short term disability. Once immune system recovers or vaccine/ treatment available then he should return to work. It has already come up twice in last 2 weeks. One teacher had past history of asthma but nothing for over 5 yrs. They wanted note excusing them from work. They were doing online classes so I told them no dice. Second case was person who wanted note to miss work but his employer wasn’t an “essential “ business so he wasn’t working anyway. I told him if he was called back to work and wasn’t ready we would review then. Hopefully you are feeling better.

If it’s 1973 it’s Bill Deutsch. I thought it was Mike and 1972. Helmets were silver

Kelly Green. That is All American Mike Deutsch. Drafted by the Bears. Did well and likely to make the team. I believe he had cervical spinal stenosis found on his last physical which ended his very promising NFL career. Great athlete. Also lettered in track. He knew what his assignment was on each play and usually knew that of his teammates. Huge thighs, ran low to the ground, very difficult for one guy to tackle. Fullback was Mark Belmore. Also very tough to tackle. Great blocker. My junior year we were playing UNLV in Vegas. They had a stud MLB who was trash talking and throwing racial slurs about the white boy. Belmore got pissed so we were lined up to run the next play and he yelled at him “ok you f’in n..... we running right here” and pointed to where the play was going and yelled “I’ll meet you there”. One of most violent collisions on FB field I have seen. Problem was he did same thing next play. We only gained about 4 yds on the two plays. These to RB’s could play on any team any era.

Guy in the middle is Mike Wirtz. Student manager. Great guy.

All American Todd Thomas. Played for Kansas City Chiefs for about 3 years. Career cut short by injury. Was a Chemical Engineer. I was told he had over 45 patents. Unfortunately died young. I believe cut was cancer. One of the best to ever play here.

Doesn’t mean anything if he isn’t rewarded. If he does really well, probably moves up and out of our pay range. In the meantime, reward him with a handsome 5 year extension that requires big payback by big school that would hire him away.

That is why our health care organizations are struggling. It is the chaos that you and you colleagues face in uncharted waters with no true compass vs the rural areas and others where we have shut everything down in anticipation of what’s to come. I hope that we as a profession and as a country reassess having to rely on other countries for critical supplies and equipment
