Coronavirus Epidemic Update 21: Antibodies, Case Fatality, Clinical Recommendations, 2nd Infections?

Labs are working on novel ways to use antibodies as possible treatment of Coronavirus (COVID-19) infections. Dr. Seheult discusses the role of antibodies in fighting viral infections and what a perceived second infection may actually indicate. Case fatality (and problems with estimating it at this early juncture) and practical recommendations for health care teams is also discussed.

We've produced each COVID-19 video with the best information we could access at the time of recording. Naturally, some videos will contain information that has become outdated or replaced by better information or research.

That said, we believe each video contains concepts that have enduring value and reviewing how the response to COVID-19 has progressed over time may be of interest to you as well.

Doctor, as a Primary Care Team RN here in South Korea...I've made it practice that start of new days which happens on days you post, we three sit and listen to you. Your service is doing more than you realize. We thank you.

[danpro]

You're insight has been really valuable during this Coronavirus outbreak, and you've rightfully earned quite a few subscribers. I'll be going through your vids any time I want to have a concise understanding of a medical issue.

[conan]

Educational, easy to understand and the most important not fear mongering

[freedomfreedomfreedom]

This is the best source for updates on the Corona Virus. Glad I found it!
The MSM does not discuss the virus at great length. If even at all.

[soniamerrill]

clicked faster than lightening, love you doc, you're helping a ton, keep it up! <3

[alfredlear]

Brilliant as always, best clear, consistent and concise source for education on covid-19.
Medcram and Dr John Campbell are informative and calming.

[SamuelHill]

Thanks very much for all the work you put into making these videos. I'm amazed that you manage to find time to work a job, do research on this stuff and put a video out on this stuff 5 days a week.

[AlaricScandoveski]

You should do a video with Dr. John Cambell. Both of you would probably have an interesting back and forth about the Cv-19.

[highoctane]

Thanks for all the straight up no bs info doc. All your hard work getting this out there is definitely not going unnoticed.

[katarinanicol]

Fantastic thanks - this information just isn't out there in mainstream media. Your lectures are intelligible for the non-medical. What a great teacher!

[lewiswright]

Where the hell are all the recovered case two weeks ago it was at 35000 infected how long does it take to get over this thing

[angeldc]

Just wanted to say you really make a difference. Thank you!!

[jakep]

The 2 or 3 percent is irrelevant if hospitals are going to be overwhelmed by the 15% of infected that will need hospitalization. As soon as there aren't enough beds, oxygen equipment to pump the lungs & enough doctors & nurses around to take care of the patients, that 2% fatality rate will shoot to something closer to 10%.

[judithgervais]

I have noticed that while the under reporting in Wuhun the past month is taken as a high probability, the consideration that many of the unreported cases might have been extremely serious or fatal is not generally considered a possibility. We will probably never know the truth but I do consider it premature to speculate most were mild. From the few testimonies I heard from medical professionals on the ground, the hospitals were forced to turn many very sick people away. Thank you for considering this possibility.

[cnelsonlv]

I don't understand why there are no other channels putting out this kind of useful, objective, insightful information about this virus... I literally haven't found one that has proven to be consistently credible.

[iloveamerica]

Thanks for addressing the "secondary CoVID" infection and low likelihood.
A secondary _bacterial_ infection makes more sense and could easily have been confused in some translation.

[ricknelson]

Thank you as always for keeping us all informed daily

[tonimarusic]

Just want to say that i realy appreciate your work and effort and that i enjoy your updates on this seroius matter.

[QuickStiQz]

I am unfortunately developing a flu (luckily not the coronavirus!), and it has given me time to watch lots of these updates. I have to say, your vids are amazing! Great work.
