Great video! Nothing will change the recommendations you bring up: 1. Wash 🖐 hands 🖐 (20+ seconds! and twice if you want) after coming home, and after touching something from outside your house 2. Don’t touch face 🧑👦 3. Don’t shake hands 🚫🤝 4. Disinfect your cell phone often 🦠📱 5. If you feel fever cough, fatigue, get that checked out by Dr. 👩⚕️👨⚕️, as you normally would! #AlertNotAnxious
I always touch my nose and I can't stop it, it's because I have like little white bumps or something and I want to take them all out but it's too hard, they could be taken out but there's a lot of them
Quick question: Shouldn't you call your Dr. before coming to the clinic if you suspect that you have coronavirus to prevent spreading it in the waiting room?
@Dennis Feenstra But that's already happening. Citizens are making the crisis themselves because they're already emptying all types of stores. Germany is already extreme in this and I don't think that population are smart enough to not panic so it's better to fill up on some things (not too much) so you're not the only one that can't buy stuff.
I live in China, we have been in quarantine since mid January and I'm so happy that the city were I am, has 9 consecutive days without new cases! It means the quarantine works 👍 the red alert was downgraded to yellow last week 🎉
Sandra H our concerns are not the virus in the US. We are worried about supply lines ! We are from Florida and have seen empty shelves and it gets ugly. This could lead to big shortages over a much longer time frame to get things moving again. We stocked up for 2 months for us ,3 grown kids ( they are stocking up also ) and 3 grandkids. Food ,water ,and MEDS
Dr Mike: There is no such thing as an immune supplement Me: But what about my vitamin gummies? What if I take 3 instead of 2? Edit: this r/wooosh is for everyone who has said you can overdose on vitamin gummies
@@ericgraham4205 you'll die from one extra? Seems a little far fetched seeing as though I once took 2 different types of vitamin gummies accidentally overdosing without knowing for about a month or two. The reason why I didnt know was because I had regular vitamins and some other vitamin, not knowing they were basically the same thing
When I worked at Home Depot there was a woman who came uo to checkout without a mask, tissues in hand and told me she had the flu. I proceeded to ask her what the hell was wrong with her because (seeing i had a line) she was endangering the physical well being of everyone around her. She said, "Well I need this now." Really? You need some gardening shite from HD and will risk not only your, but many people's well being to get them?
@@davelawandra6578 anyone who listen and sing to Queen is not weak, darling. But anyway, that's cool. I'll try that 24/7 method next. Thank you for telling me that :D By the way, how in the world is my comment getting attention?
the corona virus has reached my country and tomorrow i have to sit 2 hours in a train/bus. The public transport in my country is known for beeing a petri dish with excellent breeding ground for any sort of illnes. Wish me luck
@@giuliamoraschetti8301 You should consider wearing a surgical mask in case you are close to someone who sneezes a lot and carry with you a liquid antibacterial hand wash! :-)
Lol, my doctor was stumped on something I had come in with and ended up saying, "I'ma do what everyone else does... Google it." 😆😆 Then I ended up just using OTC meds to treat my condition.
It's not completely poo poo. Google is really stupid when you're researching symptoms. Thorough research accompanied by critical thinking (which most people googling are gonna lack) & a little bit of life sciences knowledge can make google useful tho.
@@deepstariaenigmatica2601 the "absolute poo poo" comment was about something else; this comment was highlighting a (seeming) contradiction between the expertise needed gor a medical degree, and using funny words like poo poo
“Don’t touch your eyes, nose, mouth...” me teaching my students the head, shoulder, knees and toes song next class : ok the song is no longer on RU-vid kids😅
Lol. My favourite song to sing to my 5 mo old son when we bath him .... “ and eyes and ears and mouth and nose .... heeeeeead, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes” 😂
I am right now at my sister's house for 4 days. she has a 9 month old.she and her husband both did not sleep properly for 9 months. at first I did believe it.now it's been 3 days I also haven't slept cause of my nephew. 😞
"Those who try and turn a profit on this should be ashamed of themselves." *Thank you.* That is absolutely what people need to hear and reiterate every time an MLM/'Nutraceutical' salesperson opens their mouths during pandemics. Appreciate the updates and the science based approach you take to everything.
yes.In our country people have increased the cost of face masks and stored them as well so they can earn profit out of it.No one should fish in troubled waters.These people really should really be ashamed of themselves
You need to consider that if one tries to explain something abstract for the normal people, one need to use a language that is understood by everyone and adjust language. So... The doctor knows his audience.
@carbonated cats the sensitive bits will burn like fire. but i'm pretty sure it'll burn like fire regardless of gender when the tendies touch the alcohol
Lol. Move the line for customers further back and ask them to speak up from there. Then distribute their medications like they throw fish at a fish market. Lol. Man what a rock and a hard place you’re in. Be safe and thanks for what you do!
Our school had some policy thing mailed about covid-19, one of the things was wash your hands meanwhile we didn't have soap for over 3 months I think. They (or maybe it were some students) now finally put a hand wash soap from a supermarket in one bathroom and a picture with the quote "Wash your hands you detty pig." (That's why I think it were students) The other bathrooms have soap in the soap dispensers now (finally) Thanks for listening to my soap update Edit: the soap in the soap dispensers is like already foamy en feels like it's just water that's foamy (not possible but you get me)
In my school we have one soap bottle that is full of dead bugs that somehow managed to get in but not out. Unfortunatly, when it happened the bottle was almost full. And it obviously stayed full, cause no one wants to wash hands with dead bugs. But the fact that it's almost full made the cleaner go "oh its full" so that SHE'S JUST LEAVING IT WITH THE DEAD BUGS.
@@GippyHappy the supermarket soap pump is now thrown into a stall that's closed for who knows how long (probably bc its broken or some dead person is in there)
@Ruben Celiceo kind of. First shift is the morning shift usually starting around 4-6am to 12-2pm, second shift is the afternoon/evening usually going from 12-2pm to 8-10pm and third shift the late night early morning shift that goes from 8-10pm to 4-6am.
@@Scarlattomachiatto Correct. My shift changes every week, so this week i'm on nightshift, next week 2nd shift and the week after at 1st shift and so on... Therefore i have no real sleep schedule and my sleep is very bad.. Mostly like 2.3hrs of sleep, waking up, trying to fall asleep again.. 30 mins later "f*** it i'll get up..." I'm pretty surprised i'm not getting sick every few weeks.
@@lemonice Probably because it means, "please kill/murder," in Japanese. [koroshite kudasai] Also, Dr. Mike is being very professional by saying it is absolute poo poo--if he had dropped his profesionality, he'd have called it total bullshit.
It's when your antibody successfully stop the virus from growing and or completely deliberated the virus. It can be seen when your body is not showing any more symptoms. And also for high infection rate viruses, healed person also has very low number of virus (or completely zero) and they can't infect anyone anymore.
if you are tested and are positive, you are quarantined and maintained on IV and Saline liquids to maintain electrolyte and vitamin levels at a defense rate in order for your immune system to fight away at the attackers. Once you have recovered, you will be tested once again: if you test negative, you will be tested once more and if you test negative again you are considered “recovered”, HOWEVER if you test POSITIVE again, precautionary measures will be taken to detain further increase and impairment of the lungs and respiratory system, more will be done to find out why the virus was not fought off. I am not sure which antibiotics are used but i assume that they are antibiotics used to aid WBCs (white blood cells) in fighting off viral respiratory infections.
@@susanb4654 While yes using a phone before bed does reduce the amount of sleep you get, teens naturally go to sleep later and get up later regardless. Early school start times ,especially in highschools, fights against the natural sleep cycle of teens and prevents them from getting enough sleep
Are you from South Korea or something? There is no way you are in the western school system and can't get at least 7 hours of sleep each night unless you have insomnia (you should have the time to sleep this much and still be able to study, do two workouts a week and still have some time for extracurriculars or just to chill, even though you might have to go to bed at 9 or 10 pm)...
Some people: let's procrastinate for a few hours then do work. Few hours later: I fucking hate school I am so tried Note: not meant to all people and also you should know sometimes the homework is repetitive, however, all the blame cannot be placed onto school in some cases.
Bro I’m scared cuz I’ve sneezing a lottt and been feeling sick for a whole week now and been taking medicine all the time but I still haven’t recovered😭
@@zatzu Two month from now Dr.Mike's vid *statics before starting as we see a disheveled Dr.Mike* Dr.Mike: The date May 15th, 2020 the virus has taken over 90% of the world...I don't know who's left but....Be Alert and Not Active....save yourself *static* (Jk some people are just so freaked out by this..it's new and scary but it'll be treated just like the rest of histories diseases unless it's like the dancing plague than we're doomed until it decides it's done xD)
I’ve been told that since I’m a young, relatively healthy person, I’ll be fine. That if I do get it, I’ll heal fine; but I’m so worried about those around me with respitory issues and older folks. My parents have smoked since they were young, and I would be crushed if they, or my grandparents, or older teachers I’ve become attached to are affected and the results become fatal.
Here are the time stamps for the questions: 0:42 “How many more levels does the virus have to cross to be declared a pandemic?” 1:26 “Should I be worried about flying?” 2:10 “How long does the virus stay on objects?” 2:50 “Besides washing my hands what else can I do to protect myself?” 3:39 “Have any of the people diagnosed with coronavirus recovered?” 3:52 “Can the virus affect dogs?” 4:28 “Should everyone avoid going out?” 5:06 “Is the flu shot a preventative measure for the virus?” 5:40 “Is there anything you can take to boost your immune system that actually works?” 6:22 “Is there a cure for COVID-19 or something that reduces the chances of getting infected?” 7:09 “As a doctor yourself, are you worried?” 7:46 “How contagious is this coronavirus?” 8:12 “Do you think the virus will mutate and become worse?” 8:49 “Can the coronavirus be treated by HIV medicine?” 9:06 “What is the real name of the coronavirus, and what does it mean?” 9:43 “If you already had the coronavirus, are you immune to it?” 10:45 “Are people in the US at the possibility of it spreading like it is in China?”
Every people should wash their hands anyway, regularly. That what shocks me the most, people are so unfamiliar with hand washing... that’s way more scarier than the virus.
if this comment format were a person, I would smother it in its crib. I hate it. I hate its progenitors. Please. Please stop. It's so stupid. So so so stupid.
Actually no it's not. It can be a seasonal epidemic. Meaning that at a certain time of the yr in a particular region cases of it increases e.g in the US any time between late august thru February/march. A pandemic is when a new illness spreads rapidly worldwide around the same time. Flu/cold seasons may vary by region so it's not a pandemic because everyone in the world isnt observing the same spikes in increases of the disease all at once. And it isnt spreading rapidly worldwide. Like Doc. Mike said there r levels to it, if it doesnt fulfil those criteria then u can't call it a pandemic
Sorry, but I'm no less "pure" of a human than he is, just poorer, less famous, and lacking a medical degree. I suppose this is your peculiar way of saying that you like the good doc (so do I).
Dr. Mike “Get 7-9 hours of sleep” Me living with a newborn: “what is sleep?” *Coronavirus death rate is less than 2%* The Media: Jesus Christ we gonna die Other than coughing and everything else, what are the most common signs of Coronavirus?
It's your eyes, mouth, and nose you have to be concerned with. He talked about it in a previous video ---- don't touch your mucus membranes because that's how the virus goes from being on your skin to IN your body.
me fighting a bit of imsomnia right now and waking up in the middle of the night (and not being able to fall asleep again) like last few days AGAIN: "uhm, difficuly setting" :3
Yep. No reason they shouldn't be shutting schools down right now. Especially in the west coast where it's been spreading for weeks and they haven't been able to test and isolate anybody until now.
I've started whereing my glasses again. Not only does it prevent you from touching your eyes, but it also helps prevents particulates from getting in your eyes.
People in my state are going crazy. There's no toilet paper, sanitizer, alcohol and aloe vera to make your own sanitizer, masks, noodles and milk! They've even canceled schools for a month like calm down people! They wanna change my college courses to online which I'm pissed about.
*Now, this is the part where you regret using lame usernames, not knowing that you'll ask something very serious with that very username and be included in a video* 😂😂😂
@@thelegendaryt-rex4763 That is the opposite of what would happen though. If the virus kills all of its hosts, the virus will also die off. That is why virus often evolve to be less lethal. The best virus will have a very low mortality rate, high incubation period and be easy to spread.
