My cousin had Covid and was in ICU in Brazil (Belo Horizonte) for nearly 2 weeks. 65 year old male with co-morbidities. He got wonderful treatment and his family around the world were all so relieved when he was discharged and went home last week 🌻
I always look forward to the daily updates. It’s really helped me cope with a many months long isolation due to age. Should be eligible for vaccination soon.

Thank you Dr Campbell for your COVID update videos! I rarely miss a day, and if I do, I catch-up the following day. We live in a small town in the north of Georgia, USA. I also sew masks for family, friends, and donate them to our local hospital to use as needed. Lately I have been using the blue medical masks as a pattern, but I would be interested in trying out Misty’s mask pattern! And the fabric is awesome!
Thank you! I’ve been following Dr. Campbell from the beginning. He’s truly a fantastic educator and my (and so many others) trusted resource for accurate information on Covid. I learned to sew to make masks for family and friends back when masks were in short supply. A Dr. Campbell mask seemed like the appropriate way to commemorate this chapter in my life. The pattern is a bit of a hybrid but the main pattern is called the Batwing pattern. I follow a Facebook group - Craft Passion Face Mask Support - and you can find the Batwing pattern there. Take care!
Good Morning to all 🌻 and as always thank you, Dr. Campbell! 🙏 Here in Germany is a discussion about the amount of intubations and the fact, that some physicians say, some of them are unnecessary and causes death instead of preventing them because of the superinfections. These physicians give also oxygen to patients, but with masks similar to the treatment of sleeping apnoea. The good thing about this is, the patients stay fully awake and can sit upright in there beds. A italien icu physician told yet at last spring, people to not lay down but sit upright and make breathing exercises instantly if they get Covid. The lung tissue are more likely to get compressed and collapse when laying flatt, he said. (Hope I could explain it, and my English is understandable)
Thank you so much for bringing this up. I live in Poland and it's the same situation. There is one virologist here, Dr Bodnar, who has been treating his Covid patients with medication rather than oxygen and he hasn't lost a single patient! Those forcing physicians to use oxygen therapy only for Covid instead of a combination of that and medicines should be held responsible for all the unnecessary deaths.

And basically would have to be very Well off to go hunting deer also. In Australia is basically you pay that day and go any where you want for the year.
Thank you for your updates. I'm a intensive care pediatrician in Brazil, and live in the South region. Our cases are rising here, it's becoming colder. Our hospitals are really over capacity and our greatest concern is anesthetic and sedative supplies, that are dangerously low and probably can't be refilled in time. Oxygen is a potential problem as the demand is 56% higher in March. New ICU beds are being created but ventilators are lacking, As well as healthcare providers . Other problem is the mortality of people being intubated! Reports show 81,7% mortality in Covid patients that are intubated. Our governments don't want to use mitigation methods that involve lockdowns! So we can understand in the near future how is the virus behavior in a free environment. Really sad news. We had a bit of good news, as the P1 variant doesn't escape completely from vaccines.
@@tube.brasil ask Dr Campbell and UK citizens is lockdowns doesnt work. Probably you are only a robot. And real Lockdowns aren't in place here. Shopping malls can open only until 6 pm - bars can open until midnight. Only in São Paulo some more restrictive measures were instituted, with reduction in new cases.
Thank you Raphael. None of us are free from this virus until all of us are. Misty you are a legend! I would happily wear one of you masks ❤️ Thank you again for yet another informative session
For anyone who's been searching; the Guardian reported yesterday that Pr. Shakir of Southampton University stated that cases where clotting have been reported following vaccination have been reported 4 to 16 days after innoculation. I think this is important to know and it certainly helped me.
Glad that Raphael brought up the challenges of intubation. Also surprised that Dr. Campbell has not been made aware of difficulties with intubated patients. Many who are intubated get worse, not better. This has been known for a long time. Intubation can create micro-trauma to the trachea, and can induce germs such as bacteria. The patient needs to be sedated...and can not eat...they are tube fed. The breathing tube needs to be periodically cleaned and re-inserted. The intubation induces pressurized air into the lungs...you are being inflated. this has to be properly calibrated or lung damage can occur.
This has already been covered last year.Intubation often allows the rest of the organs to rest when the other organs are shutting down,CPAP needs people to tolerate and keep using the mask.
Results not good: Intubation, mortality, and risk factors in critically ill Covid-19 patients: A pilot study www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7476450/#:~:text=Supplementary%20eTable%201%20Risk%20factors%20associated%20with%20in-ICU%20death.&text=More%20than%2070%25%20of%20the,agree%20that%20intubation%20saves%20lives.

Regarding intubation in Brazil. There are basically two problems: The staff that is being recruted, did not have previous expertise on trauma/icu (for simplicity "on-the-job trainning") and we don´t have a unified guideline for covid intubation. Yesterday 4211 Brazilians lost the batle against COVID 19. We have right now the perfect storn for virus replication and consequently, the emergence of new variations of concern
Best to you Mario sorry to hear the numbers of deaths do your best to double mask avoid crowds and good hand hygiene space apart ventilate your home try mouthwashes do the best you can for safety best to you and your family from Glasgow scotland 👍
Thankyou Rafael for the excellent video all about Brazil, nice to know how other countries are doing. Oh Dr C, I adore the mask, how do we get one from Misty? Obviously we would pay for them! Absolutely fantastic and with our favorite Dr John on them😷😁😊🙂🌷xxx
The situation is very complicated in Brazil, at least deaths from over 70s reduced significantly since vaccination began, at least in my hometown looking at the data I could see that. And yes the new variant is quite aggressive in younger people. Both my cousins, one in his 30s and the other in his 40s had to go to hospital to fight for covid...both relatively healthy, thankfully they are ok now. However I noted in majority most covid deaths in younger people are from overweight folks.
Thats the dirty little secret. Fear by the media of being accused of fat shaming is leading to an important underreported aspect of their outcomes. Some media outlets are displaying their images which is a way to show it without mentioning it. I'm not even sure if Dr. Campbell is prepared to address it on his channel. This is the lunacy of political correctness. It causes death . They should be vaccinating the fattest people and telling fat people to go on diets as an effective preventative measure but they won't.
@@michaelmullingo6197 Not sure about PC but if we do that I’d add that all of the dip shits who decide they can’t bother wearing a mask, preferring to wear a stupid smirk instead. Make those dicks put a mask on, as a courtesy if they go out in public and are going to be indoors with other folks. I’ll vote for your fat facts bill if you support my “ wear a mask indoors it’s not an infringement on your idiotic rights”. Note: that wasn’t PC either. Maybe you can edit it?
@@michaelmullingo6197 Not every fat person is obese from over-eating per se. Many have a hormone imbalance which results in weight gain. Diets certainly can help, but they can also kill. I knew someone (distant family) who was morbidly overweight, and his doctor and nutritionist put him on a carefully controlled diet, which he stuck to assiduously. He was also very active and did a strenuous job. Six months into the diet, he collapsed and almost died. While he was in hospital, recovering, they diagnosed malnutrition, and stopped him from dieting. They then began to tackle the cause of his weight problem; a hormone imbalance. A couple of years later, and he was no longer clinically obese. I agree with you about political correctness: It restricts the proper use of language, to the point of being beyond ridiculous in some cases. PC has mostly failed miserably in its aims. Rather than reducing prejudice, it serves to highlight differences. I say what I mean, when speaking with or to others. To date, only a couple of people have complained to me during the past few decades, and those complaints were because of their perception of prejudice. Naturally, I apologised courteously, and rephrased my statements. Life's too short to make enemies.

Good morning, looks like we are entering a possibly scarey time that can go one way or another 🤔 let's hope mankind will be luckier than its been in the last year Praying for the countries like Brazil struggling 🙏
@@wboyle5899 the problem is that A LOT of people do not wanna take the vaccine and follow the protocols That's why we are having such a hard time, because our people are fucking stupid A lot of us that died deserved it, like one famous influencer here She said that she was gonna throw a party and said "fuck you" to everyone that was warning her that it was a really dumb decision And then guess what happened? SHE GOT COVID AND DIED! THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY HERE
Wonderful insight as usual. Thank you. Good luck to Brazil. However, to attempt to describe the US as a single entity when individual states often are as large or larger than European nations, often with similar self-determination, gives an inherently flawed impression. At present, the US essentially consists of four or more discrete pandemics due to geography and variant prevalence.
@@robinhood4640 True! A lot of US states did not have a second wave, whereas the 'global' US numbers make it look like we are now in the third wave. Most Southern states had two waves (Arkansas had three waves), most of Midwestern states only one, now starting the 2nd. I find the NYT covid map very helpful for a good picture of where the US truly stands.
@@battlebbot I imagine if people want to look at the MHRA data they can do so themselves. To save people time here is a direct quote from the web site "Vaccination is the single most effective way to reduce deaths and severe illness from COVID-19"
Several people that I knew, who were intubated, developed severe infections at the intubation sites. They nearly died of the infections, not the virus itself.
If you could get a supply of them and sell them John that would help with funds for the books etc you send to other countries. Lots of your subscribers would buy them. Best masks i've seen, great pic. Clever woman with a big kind heart.
Thank you Raphael! Thank you Dr John! I'm also from Belo Horizonte and most of my family and friends live there. I live in Australia and worried with everyone over there. God help us all🙏🙏🙏
So good to hear from people who are living in different countries. News channels do rather like to put a dramatic spin on things and don't necessarily give us a true representation of the whole country. Really happy to hear both his parents have been able to receive the vaccine.
Dr. Campbell, I believe Rafael was not referring to the difficulty of the intubation process but rather to the lack of expertise of some physicians that have been forced to perform such procedure, leading to iatrogenic events. Obviously, if your specialty does not require you to deal with intubations routinely, you are more prone to commit serious mistakes when, out of necessity because of physician shortage, you have to to do the best you can to save a life. This is not uncommon in rural areas of South America, where only "generalists" have to do it all because of lack of specialists. I could be wrong, but I feel this is what Rafael was talking about.
It's still slow, the vaccines aren't arriving fast enough. In BC they have started vaccinating all adults in small rural towns. We get ours next week, population 700! All 60+ in Vancouver, Fraser Valley can get Astrazenica at a pharmacy!
@@noelcayer3599 My sister & brother in law got their vaccine this week despite being a bit younger than me. They both have factors making them “vulnerable.”. I sure hope my age group (I’m 69) comes up next week. I’m on Vancouver Island.
So glad Raphael's parents are vaccinated. Got my 2nd Moderna vax today, I was vascillating between taking the 2nd or not. With all the stories I was hearing about bad symptoms after the 2nd dose, I was turning into a chicken. Well, after arguing with myself for four days, I lost the debate. The other me won. Well, it's over and done with, hopefully, but I know that it's very far from over. All the new variants are really starting to scare me. Hope Y'all get vaccinated, and fare well, especially You, Dr. Campbell.Stay positive. I'd like to hear some more news from Israel.
I highly suggest watching "BRAZIL NOT FOR BEGINNERS | WHAT WENT WRONG?" video from Coluna do Garrone. He is an excelent journalist and the video explain everything well in 2 parts.
Thanks marcos I watched it on you tube it gave me an insight into brasil the thoughts attatude to the virus it's a real eye opener a must watch everyone thanks marcos best from Glasgow scotland stay safe 👍
I questioned that a while ago and apparently there are really silly people who don't actually watch but automatically do a thumbs down, probably woke leftie snowflakes
Best wishes to the people of brasil hope they can step up with the vaccines stay vigilant and stay as safe as you can sorry to hear about the multiple variants thanks Rafael best wishes to you from Glasgow scotland
The intubation issue pointed out by Rafael could be a consequence of lack of experienced ICU staff. I live in Chile, and we are in an extreme situation in health services as many other countries in South America where hospitals are at their limit. So hospital staff are helping and coping with the situation even though they might not be very experienced. Every health worker has been there, in the front line for so long and they have been pushed to the limit. In Chile, they have been increasing ICU capacity but now we are getting to the point where we won't have enough intensive care workers to manage those ICU beds. So resuming, I think, as a common person, that what is happening in Brazil with the intubation procedure could be the lack of expertise.
Stay At Home order going into effect in several Canadian Provinces due to the new variants. Silly that Canada is still allowing air travel to the variant hot spots. Our government never seems to learn!
My son lives about 50m from a border crossing, I watched a car goes into Canada every 5 minutes! Whistler party helped spread it in BC! Places of worship too! People are just ignorant!
Pandemic has been out since 2008 and is generally considered (and I concur) one of the greatest board games ever. It is not overly complicated or long and plays 2-4 (5 with one of the expansions). I have had lots of time to play it over the past year...
I'm a Brit living in Brazil, in Sao Paulo. Now when people say the hospitals are close to collapse that's a bit of impossible statement to qualify. I'd like to say the hospitals have gone over the edge, the amazing staff are now having to make do with what they have and are trying to work as best they can. The public hospitals in Brazil are always short of something and underfunded and the Drs work incredibly hard in a bad situation. But they have come to the point when they can't really do much more. Now, the private hospitals are better, but you need to buy insurance - but even these are full now! My GF who is a Dr tells me the wards for bad cases are like a nightmare, nurses pushed to breaking point, Dr's looking after too many people and the worst thing imaginable - if you are intubated, there are no drug to sedate you, so you are effectively awake. So what really grinds my gears is that a lot of people don't get how this is spreading, so they get together with their families and spread it this way. The governor of Sao Paulo just joined all the holidays together, but instead of people staying at home, they go to beaches and their houses in the countryside and spread corona to each other. Mark my words, in the next few weeks we are going to have another boom and it wouldn't surprise me if we start hitting 6k deaths per day.
@@anjulinoname4915 I'm all good! I am working from home and the wife has been vaccinated. The only big worry is needing to go to hospital for something else or in an emergency. Hopefully the vaccinations will pick up and we'll start to see a light at the end of this mess! Cheers for the commet.
Sorry to hear Andrew do the best you can to stay safe double mask good hand hygiene at all times space apart ventilate your home use good mouthwashes daily avoid public toilets in shops etc hand drierers and in using toilet when flushing make sure lid is down try anything just to say safe hope all works out for you thanks for sharing it must be very difficult for you both good rest and vitimin d zinc and vitimin c helps regulate your sleep best from Glasgow scotland stay safe 👍
Just last night I was reading "China Syndrome, 21st Centuries First Great Epidemic". The author says that despite being common, intubation is very tricky and dangerous. A few months ago I read "The Comming Plague", a 25 year old book about the inevitability of a pandemic. About eight years ago I also read "Spillover, How animal diseases infect humans". Not sure of the subtitle, but I recommend all these to anyone interested in background on the current situation, or just a good medical mystery story.
@@BubblesTheCat1 Generally that's true, but I have been in UK summers that were as hot has an average east cost Australian summer, which would be very similar to yours.
Thank you for your coverage of Brazil as well as other countries. I would love to have the vaccine status for children covered. Would you be able to keep us updated on that front as well?
my niece's best friend had covid and has been a long hauler at only 34 with no comorbidities....she was tired and ran out of breath easily..they did several xrays of her lungs and said she would just have to keep doing what she is doing the best she can.....after 5 months she started to faint if she did to much...they finally did a CT of her lungs and she was diagnosed with ground glass lung....they are hoping more treatments will help reduce it!
California's infection positivity rate has dropped to 1%. Pfizer study showed efficacy against South African variant. Much of Canada is in lockdown. Lacking in hospital resources, a bit of an uptick in cases sends the place into lockdown.
This worries me when I see Chile at the top because their vaccinations are as far along as the UK. If this is because of the Brazil varient then it pretty much proves that the vaccines are not working with the Brazit varient.
I think it is important to take into consideration which vaccines are being used. 90% of the vaccine doses administered in Chile were from Coronavac, which had an already low efficacy rating, expecially after only one dose. While they have approved Pfizer, not many people have been given Pfizer shots, which is far more efficacious.
@@christopherrobinson7541 Chile participated in trials for Coronavac, so they got early access to a large number of doses. They have also approved Pfizer but this far have received very few doses. I read this morning that 93% of the doses given this far have been Coronavac, and most of their elderly (most vulnerable) population received that vaccine.
@@christopherrobinson7541 I do not think you are understanding my post. I was not questioning the fairness in receiving a large number of doses from Coronavac. My point was that because they received so many of that particular vaccine, it is the one that they are using in most of their vaccinated people. Problem is that it does not appear to be a very good vaccine in comparison to the mRNA vaccines, which is may be why people are still get sick despite a high vaccination rate. Had they used mostly Pfizer, they likely would have been in much better shape right now. And yes, it appears that they opened back up too early as well.
I don't want to be disrespectful,. but, this Rafael sound much more optimistic than the reality. Who is he? Does he have a last name?! What are his credentials?! Where does he come from?! Have you ever heard from Dr. Miguel Nicolelis or Átila Iamarino?! Their english is good too.
And both far better qualified to give an accurate description of what is really happening. Things are absolutely terrible here in Brazil. There is a lack of sedative for intubation too.
Dear Dr. Campbell. I always watch your channel and regarding this video in particular and the current situation in Latin America with the pandemic, I would like to draw your attention to the case of Uruguay having the highest rate of new infections per million people in the world today. Best regards.
I am curious about Raphael's insight on the comparative effectivity of the different vaccines (eg. Sinovac, Pfizer, etc) used in Brazil. Wish he reported on the topic.

Are you kidding. We have a heavy lockdown all over Brazil. The problem is that it doesn't work.
@@tube.brasil ask Dr Campbell and UK citizens is lockdowns doesnt work. Probably you are only a robot. And real Lockdowns aren't in place here. Shopping malls can open only until 6 pm - bars can open until midnight. Only in São Paulo some more restrictive measures were instituted, with reduction in new cases.

Thank you Raphael. None of us are free from this virus until all of us are.
Misty you are a legend! I would happily wear one of you masks ❤️
Thank you again for yet another informative session
Thank you!
Thank you Dr. John! 🥰
Hi john as always thanks for you factual and informative video's 👍
For anyone who's been searching; the Guardian reported yesterday that Pr. Shakir of Southampton University stated that cases where clotting have been reported following vaccination have been reported 4 to 16 days after innoculation. I think this is important to know and it certainly helped me.
Glad that Raphael brought up the challenges of intubation. Also surprised that Dr. Campbell has not been made aware of difficulties with intubated patients. Many who are intubated get worse, not better. This has been known for a long time. Intubation can create micro-trauma to the trachea, and can induce germs such as bacteria. The patient needs to be sedated...and can not eat...they are tube fed. The breathing tube needs to be periodically cleaned and re-inserted. The intubation induces pressurized air into the lungs...you are being inflated. this has to be properly calibrated or lung damage can occur.
This has already been covered last year.Intubation often allows the rest of the organs to rest when the other organs are shutting down,CPAP needs people to tolerate and keep using the mask.
Results not good:
Intubation, mortality, and risk factors in critically ill Covid-19 patients: A pilot study www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7476450/#:~:text=Supplementary%20eTable%201%20Risk%20factors%20associated%20with%20in-ICU%20death.&text=More%20than%2070%25%20of%20the,agree%20that%20intubation%20saves%20lives.

Brilliant John Campbell "favourite sayings" mask.... very creative and amusing
Thank you! I learned to sew to make masks just for family and friends back when masks were in short supply. I’ve been following Dr. Campbell from the beginning. He’s truly a fantastic educator and my (and so many others) trusted resource for accurate information on Covid. A Dr. Campbell mask seemed like the appropriate way to commemorate this chapter in my life.
Great videos. Keeps me sane from crazy news stories.
Problem with sanity is it's all about perspective.
@@zentamm That’s what an insane person would say or a gaslighting troll. You are both.

Obrigado Rafael! All the best for you and your family, from Finland.
Goodmorning everyone. Thanks Doc, again, and Raphael.
Spread peace, y'all, not Covid.
Mask up, vax up. Say that ten times fast!
The Brazil P1 is in some areas of Canada and wreaking havoc with younger ages being infected and many hospitalized.
I am so sorry our mistakes are reaching you guys in canada :(
This was all our fault, we could have prevented this but our people are too stupid to follow a simple rule like wearing a mask
Great time to release your video Dr John. 8:30pm here in nz. Regards
Regarding intubation in Brazil. There are basically two problems: The staff that is being recruted, did not have previous expertise on trauma/icu (for simplicity "on-the-job trainning") and we don´t have a unified guideline for covid intubation.
Yesterday 4211 Brazilians lost the batle against COVID 19.
We have right now the perfect storn for virus replication and consequently, the emergence of new variations of concern
Best to you Mario sorry to hear the numbers of deaths do your best to double mask avoid crowds and good hand hygiene space apart ventilate your home try mouthwashes do the best you can for safety best to you and your family from Glasgow scotland 👍
Very true! Depending on the area in Brazil up to 80% of intubated patients are dying. We have many new ICU beds but no trained staff
Fabulous masks Misty 👏
Thankyou Rafael for the excellent video all about Brazil, nice to know how other countries are doing. Oh Dr C, I adore the mask, how do we get one from Misty? Obviously we would pay for them! Absolutely fantastic and with our favorite Dr John on them😷😁😊🙂🌷xxx
The situation is very complicated in Brazil, at least deaths from over 70s reduced significantly since vaccination began, at least in my hometown looking at the data I could see that. And yes the new variant is quite aggressive in younger people. Both my cousins, one in his 30s and the other in his 40s had to go to hospital to fight for covid...both relatively healthy, thankfully they are ok now. However I noted in majority most covid deaths in younger people are from overweight folks.
Thats the dirty little secret. Fear by the media of being accused of fat shaming is leading to an important underreported aspect of their outcomes. Some media outlets are displaying their images which is a way to show it without mentioning it. I'm not even sure if Dr. Campbell is prepared to address it on his channel. This is the lunacy of political correctness. It causes death . They should be vaccinating the fattest people and telling fat people to go on diets as an effective preventative measure but they won't.
Lies.
@@michaelmullingo6197 Not sure about PC but if we do that I’d add that all of the dip shits who decide they can’t bother wearing a mask, preferring to wear a stupid smirk instead. Make those dicks put a mask on, as a courtesy if they go out in public and are going to be indoors with other folks. I’ll vote for your fat facts bill if you support my “ wear a mask indoors it’s not an infringement on your idiotic rights”.
Note: that wasn’t PC either. Maybe you can edit it?
@@richardworker9280 a good laugh water buffalo
@@michaelmullingo6197 Not every fat person is obese from over-eating per se. Many have a hormone imbalance which results in weight gain. Diets certainly can help, but they can also kill.
I knew someone (distant family) who was morbidly overweight, and his doctor and nutritionist put him on a carefully controlled diet, which he stuck to assiduously. He was also very active and did a strenuous job.
Six months into the diet, he collapsed and almost died. While he was in hospital, recovering, they diagnosed malnutrition, and stopped him from dieting. They then began to tackle the cause of his weight problem; a hormone imbalance. A couple of years later, and he was no longer clinically obese.
I agree with you about political correctness: It restricts the proper use of language, to the point of being beyond ridiculous in some cases. PC has mostly failed miserably in its aims. Rather than reducing prejudice, it serves to highlight differences.
I say what I mean, when speaking with or to others. To date, only a couple of people have complained to me during the past few decades, and those complaints were because of their perception of prejudice. Naturally, I apologised courteously, and rephrased my statements. Life's too short to make enemies.
Love that Dr John mask! Fine work there, Misty!

Absolutely love the mask with you on it and the sayings. Thank you for the updates again.
Wonderful insight as usual. Thank you. Good luck to Brazil.
However, to attempt to describe the US as a single entity when individual states often are as large or larger than European nations, often with similar self-determination, gives an inherently flawed impression. At present, the US essentially consists of four or more discrete pandemics due to geography and variant prevalence.
I often shout at my screen when US is considered a single entity. The global US numbers have very little meaning.
You are so right!
@@robinhood4640 True! A lot of US states did not have a second wave, whereas the 'global' US numbers make it look like we are now in the third wave. Most Southern states had two waves (Arkansas had three waves), most of Midwestern states only one, now starting the 2nd. I find the NYT covid map very helpful for a good picture of where the US truly stands.

@@battlebbot I imagine if people want to look at the MHRA data they can do so themselves. To save people time here is a direct quote from the web site "Vaccination is the single most effective way to reduce deaths and severe illness from COVID-19"
Wrong.
@@battlebbot Evidence?
@@battlebbot So you have no evidence then?
Several people that I knew, who were intubated, developed severe infections at the intubation sites. They nearly died of the infections, not the virus itself.
The problem is when they can't find out if it's the virus or if there was infection like that. Do they also crimate there like here?
@@alethiaT I don’t know, as they eventually recovered after a LONG stay in the hospital. A neighbor who passed from Covid was cremated though.
Thank you as always
If you could get a supply of them and sell them John that would help with funds for the books etc you send to other countries. Lots of your subscribers would buy them. Best masks i've seen, great pic. Clever woman with a big kind heart.
Thank you Raphael! Thank you Dr John! I'm also from Belo Horizonte and most of my family and friends live there. I live in Australia and worried with everyone over there. God help us all🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
So good to hear from people who are living in different countries. News channels do rather like to put a dramatic spin on things and don't necessarily give us a true representation of the whole country. Really happy to hear both his parents have been able to receive the vaccine.
Dr. Campbell, I believe Rafael was not referring to the difficulty of the intubation process but rather to the lack of expertise of some physicians that have been forced to perform such procedure, leading to iatrogenic events. Obviously, if your specialty does not require you to deal with intubations routinely, you are more prone to commit serious mistakes when, out of necessity because of physician shortage, you have to to do the best you can to save a life. This is not uncommon in rural areas of South America, where only "generalists" have to do it all because of lack of specialists. I could be wrong, but I feel this is what Rafael was talking about.
My country Canada is not looking good either. Vaccination is underway though, at long last. My prayers for Brazil.
🙏
It's still slow, the vaccines aren't arriving fast enough. In BC they have started vaccinating all adults in small rural towns. We get ours next week, population 700! All 60+ in Vancouver, Fraser Valley can get Astrazenica at a pharmacy!
@@noelcayer3599 I saw that about the Fraser Valley, it’s really bad there. Multigenerational homes is a contributing factor.
@@noelcayer3599 My sister & brother in law got their vaccine this week despite being a bit younger than me. They both have factors making them “vulnerable.”. I sure hope my age group (I’m 69) comes up next week. I’m on Vancouver Island.
Toronto is in yet any strict lockdown, we need vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna preferably
So glad Raphael's parents are vaccinated. Got my 2nd Moderna vax today, I was vascillating between taking the 2nd or not. With all the stories I was hearing about bad symptoms after the 2nd dose, I was turning into a chicken. Well, after arguing with myself for four days, I lost the debate. The other me won. Well, it's over and done with, hopefully, but I know that it's very far from over. All the new variants are really starting to scare me. Hope Y'all get vaccinated, and fare well, especially You, Dr. Campbell.Stay positive. I'd like to hear some more news from Israel.
Best wishes Gail I'm glad you got vaccinated best from Glasgow scotland stay safe 👍

Best wishes to the people of brasil hope they can step up with the vaccines stay vigilant and stay as safe as you can sorry to hear about the multiple variants thanks Rafael best wishes to you from Glasgow scotland
You're a disgrace
Very clear report from brazil.
The intubation issue pointed out by Rafael could be a consequence of lack of experienced ICU staff. I live in Chile, and we are in an extreme situation in health services as many other countries in South America where hospitals are at their limit. So hospital staff are helping and coping with the situation even though they might not be very experienced. Every health worker has been there, in the front line for so long and they have been pushed to the limit. In Chile, they have been increasing ICU capacity but now we are getting to the point where we won't have enough intensive care workers to manage those ICU beds. So resuming, I think, as a common person, that what is happening in Brazil with the intubation procedure could be the lack of expertise.
Stay At Home order going into effect in several Canadian Provinces due to the new variants. Silly that Canada is still allowing air travel to the variant hot spots. Our government never seems to learn!
My son lives about 50m from a border crossing, I watched a car goes into Canada every 5 minutes! Whistler party helped spread it in BC! Places of worship too! People are just ignorant!
That's a brilliant mask. I want one of those. :-)
Love that Dr John mask, I would be prepared to pay for one.
Pandemic has been out since 2008 and is generally considered (and I concur) one of the greatest board games ever. It is not overly complicated or long and plays 2-4 (5 with one of the expansions). I have had lots of time to play it over the past year...
I'm a Brit living in Brazil, in Sao Paulo. Now when people say the hospitals are close to collapse that's a bit of impossible statement to qualify. I'd like to say the hospitals have gone over the edge, the amazing staff are now having to make do with what they have and are trying to work as best they can. The public hospitals in Brazil are always short of something and underfunded and the Drs work incredibly hard in a bad situation. But they have come to the point when they can't really do much more. Now, the private hospitals are better, but you need to buy insurance - but even these are full now!
My GF who is a Dr tells me the wards for bad cases are like a nightmare, nurses pushed to breaking point, Dr's looking after too many people and the worst thing imaginable - if you are intubated, there are no drug to sedate you, so you are effectively awake.
So what really grinds my gears is that a lot of people don't get how this is spreading, so they get together with their families and spread it this way. The governor of Sao Paulo just joined all the holidays together, but instead of people staying at home, they go to beaches and their houses in the countryside and spread corona to each other. Mark my words, in the next few weeks we are going to have another boom and it wouldn't surprise me if we start hitting 6k deaths per day.
So sorry to hear that. Stay strong, stay healthy, hope Brazil will recover soon and that as many lives as possible can be saved!
@@anjulinoname4915 I'm all good! I am working from home and the wife has been vaccinated. The only big worry is needing to go to hospital for something else or in an emergency. Hopefully the vaccinations will pick up and we'll start to see a light at the end of this mess! Cheers for the commet.
Sorry to hear Andrew do the best you can to stay safe double mask good hand hygiene at all times space apart ventilate your home use good mouthwashes daily avoid public toilets in shops etc hand drierers and in using toilet when flushing make sure lid is down try anything just to say safe hope all works out for you thanks for sharing it must be very difficult for you both good rest and vitimin d zinc and vitimin c helps regulate your sleep best from Glasgow scotland stay safe 👍
Another excellent vid.
Just last night I was reading "China Syndrome, 21st Centuries First Great Epidemic". The author says that despite being common, intubation is very tricky and dangerous. A few months ago I read "The Comming Plague", a 25 year old book about the inevitability of a pandemic. About eight years ago I also read "Spillover, How animal diseases infect humans". Not sure of the subtitle, but I recommend all these to anyone interested in background on the current situation, or just a good medical mystery story.
Stay safe Rafael. God speed✨

my niece's best friend had covid and has been a long hauler at only 34 with no comorbidities....she was tired and ran out of breath easily..they did several xrays of her lungs and said she would just have to keep doing what she is doing the best she can.....after 5 months she started to faint if she did to much...they finally did a CT of her lungs and she was diagnosed with ground glass lung....they are hoping more treatments will help reduce it!
John.
You need to turn off "auto repeat" on your incoming videos.
California's infection positivity rate has dropped to 1%.
Pfizer study showed efficacy against South African variant.
Much of Canada is in lockdown. Lacking in hospital resources, a bit of an uptick in cases sends the place into lockdown.
This worries me when I see Chile at the top because their vaccinations are as far along as the UK. If this is because of the Brazil varient then it pretty much proves that the vaccines are not working with the Brazit varient.
I think it is important to take into consideration which vaccines are being used. 90% of the vaccine doses administered in Chile were from Coronavac, which had an already low efficacy rating, expecially after only one dose. While they have approved Pfizer, not many people have been given Pfizer shots, which is far more efficacious.
@@christopherrobinson7541 Chile participated in trials for Coronavac, so they got early access to a large number of doses. They have also approved Pfizer but this far have received very few doses. I read this morning that 93% of the doses given this far have been Coronavac, and most of their elderly (most vulnerable) population received that vaccine.
@@christopherrobinson7541 I do not think you are understanding my post. I was not questioning the fairness in receiving a large number of doses from Coronavac. My point was that because they received so many of that particular vaccine, it is the one that they are using in most of their vaccinated people. Problem is that it does not appear to be a very good vaccine in comparison to the mRNA vaccines, which is may be why people are still get sick despite a high vaccination rate. Had they used mostly Pfizer, they likely would have been in much better shape right now. And yes, it appears that they opened back up too early as well.
In Texas we have a vaccination map showing availability. All adults qualify and at this time our ~ 1,000 stations all have vaccine available.
I don't want to be disrespectful,. but, this Rafael sound much more optimistic than the reality. Who is he? Does he have a last name?! What are his credentials?! Where does he come from?!
Have you ever heard from Dr. Miguel Nicolelis or Átila Iamarino?! Their english is good too.
And both far better qualified to give an accurate description of what is really happening. Things are absolutely terrible here in Brazil. There is a lack of sedative for intubation too.
Dear Dr. Campbell. I always watch your channel and regarding this video in particular and the current situation in Latin America with the pandemic, I would like to draw your attention to the case of Uruguay having the highest rate of new infections per million people in the world today. Best regards.
Pandemic is a super fun game. You don’t play against each other. You play against the viruses. My family loves it.
I am curious about Raphael's insight on the comparative effectivity of the different vaccines (eg. Sinovac, Pfizer, etc) used in Brazil. Wish he reported on the topic.
Ask Raphael about all the vaccine injuries over the years in Brasil and Argentina
