Pedialyte?

Good choice -- it does have a little dextrose, but not nearly as much sugar as regular Gatorade or Powerade.

Around 40 million cases of flu this season in the U.S., 350,000+ hospitalizations, and c 20,000 deaths, including 125 children.

But this is in it's infancy. Is it appropriate to compare it to the flu at this point?

Absolutely not.

Just lost my mom to Alzheimer's last week. My dad who is in relatively good health except for pulmonary fibrosis at 81is my worry. Be hard pill to swallow to lose him now. What precautions do you recommend to reduce his risk?

Does he live at home?

Good hand-washing and avoid crowded places if the virus becomes widespread.

Really sorry to hear about your Mom.

We have NP's that can't find positions in this area. This hospital I work at has magnet ambitions right now. They are hemorrhaging nurses at this point, they attempt to go the magnet route now they will continue to leave. They want an open heart program in 3 years they are 7 years away by my estimate.
The money is definitely there in open heart.

Send them UTMC’s way. Lol. They currently have about 7,000 employees at the main hospital alone and add about 100-300 a month

Yes, he lives at home. We've talked about it. I've ordered some mask for him. He needs the mask anyway for normal task like mowing and stuff. He's on a drug that typically cost $100K/year. Fortunately his insurance is picking it up.

We've discussed a strategy that includes us shopping for him and running errands for him. Our fear is we somehow contract it and pass it on to him.

At least they weren't killed by large sugary drinks???

 

[DynaLo]

Pedialyte?

Contains dextrose, a corn product. That’s the problem, finding something corn free.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

The ones that passed away getting cremated like China suggested?

 

[Rickyvol77]

Lol this moron. Now thousands will get free ED visits for no reason and clog up the hospitals for no reason

Sorry, my friend. That's tough. Hopefully your Dad can stay in good health through the virus.

Governor just called a press conference out of the blue for 10:00 tonight. I’m not liking the way this feels.

[Septic]

So, what’s a good electrolyte replacement that doesn’t contain a corn based product or an artificial sweetener? Suggestions?

Golytley.

Lemon lime flavor is quite refreshing.

You know it's the good stuff because it's got 'lytes' right in the name.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Sorry, my friend. That's tough. Hopefully your Dad can stay in good health through the virus.

Thanks, man. It's tough to see anyone go through what she did. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and I pray we get a cure soon.

I have been lucky in that respect. And don't think I dont realize it.

You doing the power cat rental?

Yep, my first one. All of the others have been the sail cats.
