Coronavirus (COVID-19) Panel Discussion - Stanford Department of Medicine Grand Rounds

This Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds lecture was created in response to the developing spread of COVID-19. We brought together various experts to discuss this pandemic, including:
Stan Deresinki, MD: Clinical Professor, Division of Infectious Diseases
Daniel Shin, MD: Infectious Disease, Palo Alto Medical Foundation
Benjamin Pinsky, MD, PhD: Associate Professor of Pathology

your panel members are not practicing social distancing. sitting too closely together

25.51 Those people who live with a person who has been documented with COVID 19 do not have to be quarantined but must self monitor????

I understand there is an NIH study that's looking into BCG as a treatment. I was wondering if you could give your take on this. The reason I ask is that I know that BCG is used as a treatment for bladder cancer patients. While the NIH is using it as the traditional vaccine In cancer treatment it is inserted directly into the bladder. I'm a 71 year old bladder cancer survivor and was wondering if having been through the chemo version would have any affect on resistance to sars2 COVID19 - THANKS

Kaletra, Remdesivir and Interferon use to Covid-19.

You avoid restaurants not because of the people sitting next to you, but because of the people who are preparing your food. They typically don't get comped for time off when they're sick...and are sneezing, coughing, sweating, and sniffling in the very kitchen that prepares the food you digest. Shocking to hear some of these responses from a Stanford nurse.

CAN THE CORONA VIRUS BE KILLED WITH RADIATION WHICH WE DO FOR CANCER.

[@Podcastforthewin]

I’m glad you know more than she does.

[@notsogreen]

Well for BOTH especially now. But most places it's only take out. So the cooks and helpers.

This presentation is already outdated in several areas.

[@yengsabio5315]

Previously, there were only 2 strains of SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., L & S). The latest peer-reviewed article I've read just a while back states that now it has 3 strains.
Mutation is that fast for this virus.

[@jeffsmith1284]

Yeng Sabio hi. Here is a great site I’ve been following that charts the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 starting from the Wuhan outbreak: nextstrain.org/ncov/global
There are over 3000 viral genomes now so it’s useful to filter on region to get a clearer picture now.
If you go to the Diversity section you can see that given the size and type of this viral genome, it’s remarkably well conserved. There are two spots that appear to have higher mutation one of which is in the S protein region.
The two things I’m following now are 1 if the mutations will have any longer term effect on the virus property (a more efficient ACE2 receptor pathway? or other pathways) and 2 longer term effect on use of hydroxychloroquine (selective pressure on virus evolution).

somebody please get the first presenter a glass of water... He only stops rushing when he needs clearing his throat!

[@artlover5798]

If there are medicines that will work for both influenza and Covid-19 then concentrated evergreen teas will help as they contain shikimic acid as well as turpenoids and high doseges of vitamin c. chrysanthemum tea and betulinic acid should also be benificial. Email me for any enquires please.

26:35 ... "if you're asymptomatic" .... ?!? does she even know the definition of asymptomatic ?

[@user-qd7gq2vr4b]

Haha good catch, if you don't have any symptoms, then measure your symptoms haha

[@lholliday198]

We're all going to die

[@alexukbrighton]

Can't wait 🤞

[@CorrinaMusic]

AHAHAA

[@chigozieudeze2795]

I will give you the model, that is mathematically created and the solution to eradicating the virus for you to test

[@johndoe2799]

What is it?
