As doctors see more and more COVID-19 patients, they are noticing an odd trend: Patients whose blood oxygen saturation levels are exceedingly low but who are hardly gasping for breath. These patients are quite sick, but their disease does not present like typical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a type of lung failure known from the 2003 outbreak of the SARS coronavirus and other  respiratory diseases . Their  lungs  are clearly not effectively oxygenating the blood, but these patients are alert and feeling relatively well, even as doctors debate whether to intubate them by placing a breathing tube down the throat. The concern with this presentation, called "silent hypoxia," is that patients are showing up to the hospital in worse health than they realize. But there might be a way to prevent that, according to a  New York Times Op-Ed  by emergency department physician Richard Levitan. If sick patients were given oxygen-monitoring devices ca...

The U.S. on Tuesday reached a total of 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases — now representing nearly a third of all the confirmed cases worldwide, according to data compiled by  Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. is by far the country with the most confirmed cases, recording more than three times as many as the next-highest nation, Spain. The U.S. also has the world's highest death toll from the virus, with more than 58,000 deaths reported by Tuesday night — more than one-quarter of the 213,000 deaths confirmed around the world. A projection model from the University of Washington, which is often used by the White House and state health officials, is now anticipating more than 74,000 deaths nationwide by August 4. That's a jump from its expected death toll of 67,000 just one week ago.  The global number of confirmed cases passed the 3 million mark Monday.  America's grim milestone comes as some states have already started reopening parts of their econo...

President Trump continues to endorse the drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus. Experts urge more caution. There are many topics that President Donald Trump returns to in his daily coronavirus task force briefings — ventilator stockpiles , hospital ships , governors who are flattening the curve — but few have been as vigorously endorsed as the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. On Monday, Trump announced that his administration had ordered 29 million doses of the drug as a treatment option for the more than 387,000 Americans who have tested positive for the virus. His plan stems from a March 20 study out of the U.K., which found positive effects among COVID-19 patients who took a combination of hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin. Although the study garnered international attention, many have since criticized the small sample size (26 people) and the fact that it was non controlled (the patients were all at different hospitals)...
