We know this covid is mainly transmitted by respiratory droplets, and through contact, by getting into our mucosa, like our mouth, nose, and eyes. Although less common, it also can be transmitted through aerosol, meaning airborne. Most likely, when you have people in an enclosed space, such as an elevator, someone sneezes or coughs without covering their mouths, and someone else can inhale it in.
This covid attaches to cells in our body by this ACE2 receptor. This ACE2 receptor is only located on specific cells in our body. It's on our tongue, in our nose, back of the throat, and in our lungs. Specifically, it's only located on our type II alveolar cells within the lungs.
ARDS develops in about 4 to 5% of COVID patients. And of all the people who get covid, the mortality rate is around 1 to 2% or max 3%. So why do some COVID patients get ARDS, and why do some die? There are different reasons, and let's talk about them. It could be one of these reasons, but more likely, it's a combination of these reasons.
1. The covid only gains entry into our cells that express the ACE2 receptor. They are located on multiple sites. Besides being in the lung, they're in your mouth, nose, throat, stomach, small intestine, colon, skin, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, spleen, liver, kidney, brain, and testes.
2. It makes sense that if the virus only gets into your mouth, nose, or throat, but not the lungs, it would cause only cold-like symptoms. But if the covid gets all the way down into the alveoli of your lungs, that's what's going to cause ARDS. And by the way, the ACE2 receptors in your gut probably explain why some patients get nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
3. The amount of virus you get into your body likely determines how sick you get. This is what we call the viral load.
4. The inflammatory reaction with COVID is extremely complicated, with many different proteins and hormones and interleukins at play. But there are several known genetic polymorphisms of these proteins that likely make some people more prone to getting worse illnesses than others. A genetic polymorphism simply means a variation on a particular gene. For example, there are genetic polymorphisms for the ACE gene and IL-6. So, basically, a lot of it just comes down to our genes.
5. Because the 5th reason has to do with estrogen. Estrogen is known to inhibit the effects of IL-6, which plays a massive role in this cytokine storm. This might explain why women have less severe disease overall than men.
6. The 6th reason is that people are already taking certain medications for those on an ACEI such as lisinopril or an ARB like losartan, telmisartan, or candesartan, or irbesartan. Or people who take hydroxychloroquine for lupus or rheumatoid disease. Or people who take tocilizumab, an IL-6 receptor inhibitor. Are these COVID patients less prone to getting severe illnesses? My guess is yes.

hi ! Dr. Hansen that was an amazing and informative video i have to search some of your lectures about our lungs. please give some more info about this dangerous virus.. God bless you , thanks.
Have you seen the amazing tests in Japan using molecular hydrogen? They can help balance the cytokine storm. Look up “Tyler Lebanon Covid”. Please
Very good video with important vital information every one should know. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Doc - great information, thank you! And, don't worry, you still look like a young kid with a very smart brain and a caring attitude to me!
Op
June 18th 2020 I woke up with running nose and got better next day, and next day lost smell and taste. Coffee taste and smell like sandy sour. Now 23rd June and getting better. Test came positive yesterday as I already know due to loss of smell and taste. I am 35 year old male and healthy, no smoking or drinking alcohol. Prayers for all and may God bless us all. Stay positive and healthy.
I hope you feel better. I live in Arizona USA. My husband's ex wife tested positive yesterday as well. I wish I knew what was going to happen.
I’m 62 y/o female post op for THR. Covid began with fever, body aches, headache, mild dry cough. By week two cough was tight/wheezy (constricted ! ) but was able to manage with Albuterol and nebulizer from my kids asthma. (I don’t have asthma). Winding down with low fever in the evenings for several days before going away. My 66 y/o make room mate had fever of 103.6 one evening, gone next day, returned two more random days. No other symptoms. He eats well, supplements, gets a lot of exercise at his job. Crazy how it affects us all so differently. I’m a registered nurse and could not stop watching!great info! Also, people tend to cover arms, jackets, coats in cooler weather, reducing sun exposure and D3 levels drop...boom flu season susceptibility. Some stay inside more during hot summer..boom drop in D3!
Great job Doc! Thank you for that awesome explanation. My husband and I were stricken with COVID19. My husband's lungs were in pretty bad shape, as you've explained. After 28 days in ICU, 23 days on the ventilator and the doctors having done all they could, God gave us a miracle! The medical staff calls him The Miracle Man. After 64 days, he's back home and in therapy 2x per week! We're so thankful to have overcome this wicked virus! Thank you Jesus! I pray for you and all those that are working so hard to save lives. You are appreciated! 🤗💜🙏🏾
PraisecGod your husband is okay.
God is good🙏🏼
almost 2mil ppl have died so far, why are you tanking god? It's doctors that save lives, while god is absent. My dad died of covid19, should i still be tanking god? Or you have a convenient excuse, like god works in mysterious ways, or testning us?
Thank goodness! ❤️
ongoodness that's amazing yur Both so blessed. luvly so good to hear he recovered. xxx
My mother died of COVID-19 back in 2021 . RIP Mom you are missed😢😢😢
😢😢
Just don’t force aMErikan Nazi experimental shots on others
Was she vaxxed
I am 73 years young. Have been taking Zinc since 2012 because I worked in a hospital prison. That same year my apartment was in fasted with biting mites. The MD put me on Ivermection. As the pandemic emerged in 2019 I started taking Vit D, C , and Cranberry. . My immune system must be pretty good and I have not gotten Covid. I am blessed 🙌.
I put myself on ivermectin.
GARGLE EFFECTIVELY with ANTISEPTIC MOUTHWASH 4-5x per day!!! This COMMON PRACTICE HELPS TO PREVENT the spread and acquisition of ALL VIRUSES!!!
@@Angiehere-1 Me too. Hahaha!
@@Angiehere-1 how did u get it?
Marsha, ivermectin work very well. Glad you took it.
I appreciate the shout outs to the cleaning crew because I notice they mention Nurses and Doctors a lot.
An extremely important part of this pandemic
The cleaning crew is the backbone thank you for your service 🙏
Shout out to environmental service. RN I appreciate you.
Hurrah to the cleaners you are also true heroes
Yes! I was in the hospital about 3 months into the pandemic because I had an ulcer start bleeding and there was so much chaos a support staff member actually helped me get to the bathroom and she went and got my phone from my husband outside and brought it in so I could face time my kids because I couldn't have visitors and I came in by ambulance without it. Hospital support staff is critical and they matter so much.
This takes me back to high school when I had no idea what my teachers were talking about but I had to keep listening and pretending I was getting everything. Hats off to all the doctors out there. That's a lot of information to know about.
my dad he is 97 he had covid and pull through that God today is his birthday.
Happy birthday 🎉 🥳🎉
🎂
My son in law is in ICU now with Covid. I can't get over how fast things happen. Please say a prayer for him!!
being admitted was his worst mistake, IV therapy protocols is the danger . prayers he goes home.
@@sandraharbison4123 why u say that
I have covid, and Ill pray for ur son, i was in the Hospital for 5 days, i never felt so sick, Not only did I have covid but I had pneumonia ,i been sick going on 2 in half month both my husband and I , i think i got worse because i have fibro, but i called my cousin told her to pray for me, and im doing much better, have faith in God if he pulled me through he will do the same for him. Father God im requesting that you bring a healing to her son u know who he is touch him from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet thank you for his healing in Yeshua name I pray amen.
@@nancyreyesreyes334 May the Lord Bless you and your family. Thank you so much for the kind words and prayer!
@@sandraharbison4123 Well he was home with oxygen, but he got where he couldn't breath at all.
He explained everything about lung cells n functions so beautifully and even gave pictures and I still have no idea what he was talking about 😪
make repitition you wll understand
what he means is, boost your immune system, stay at home, sanitize your area and maintain physical distancing 🥴
Your gender, genetics, and age associated lack of disease may or may not protect you....
Honestly feel like this is a video for med students. I understand it but I couldn’t imagine a regular person would.
@@Gross126 Not even.... More like undergrad pre-med coursework... Not granular enough for med school
As a nurse I have always had the highest of respect for those who can explain things to the lay person. Thanks for the post.
Jayne Simmons as a nurse also you don’t need to know the technicalities rather the summarized version of how gas exchange occurs.
Then as a nurse, you should already KNOW that we all have IMMUNE SYSTEMS for a reason!! You also know DAMNED WELL, that the more you baby your immune system, the WEAKER it gets, but obviously you're being paid by the Gov't to perpetuate the communist LIE!! We should all be OUTSIDE, mingling with others - NOT cooped up in our homes, which PROLONGS the virus, which is exactly what the dirty, lying, murderous, hate-filled commie China regime wants!! Fauci and Birx are BOTH hooked up with a$$hole Bill Gates and the commie China regime, and they stand to make a TON of $$$ when they 'develop a vaccine' which 'cures' this virus!! The virus is real, but the FEAR MONGERING over how deadly it is, is what is FAKE NEWS! Watch the video called "Not So Trusted Voices" and one by Dr. Shiva - VERY informative as to what's REALLY going on - a dirty commie China regime plot to destroy economies worldwide! This virus is, in fact, by their OWN admission (the 'health experts') far MILDER than any virus we've had to date! It affects the same damned demographic as flu viruses affect EVERY year! Yet we've NEVER had to shut down economies before - this is total madness, and the statistics they're spewing in the news are all propagandist LIES!! People are saying their hospitals are EMPTY - there is no "crisis"!!! Please watch the videos, if you haven't already.
Takes a long time for him to get to the point, though.
@@janishart5128 Herd immunity? How many people especially elderly have been sacrificed so far? Elderly, individual with underlying disease and unfortunate healthy people have been died. Go check and do stat for mortality.
Janis Hart The inability to comprehend math is a great tragedy in the US. 5% of mortality on 2 millions infections is 100k fucking deaths! Since you aren’t afraid, we need brave people like you to volunteer at the covid wards!
I walked into the ER with my o2 at 72, had pneumonia with Covid (took 3 tests to get a + covid result), my lungs looked basically like the picture you had shown completely cloudy, they could not hear breath sounds at all. I had ARDS as well, went into the ICU and avoided the vent by doing everything my nurse told me to do. I proned up to 16 hrs a day, I used my spirometer as much as I could, I coughed up and spit out all the nasty that I could, I used the Aerobika as much as I could (not sure if that's the real name but it's the name on the side of the device) but I did everything to a T that they asked and more if my body let me. I was in the ICU for 4 days, then a regular room for 2 days and walked out of the hospital not having to take o2 at home. My nurses and doc were amazed and had no words as to why. I'm a 39 yr old obese stubborn SOB who never thought to give up and was determined to make it home for my middle child's bday (I did!). I was admitted on Thanksgiving of 2021, as of today (2/9/22) I have lasting brain issues from the ARDS, not anything catastrophic but memory issues, hard to find words I'm trying to say, get lost easily and my lungs still give me hell trying to exercise or walk a big store. I don't complain because I know I'm one of the very few like me to get out alive. I honestly had no idea just how lucky I am until watching this though.
recovery is a process. it may take some of us years to get back to partially where we were. I only used my inhalers when I was sick. I use them every day now due to covid. Its slowly getting better but I have resigned myself to the fact that many asthmatics through no fault of their own can end up with COPD. Nature of the beast. I didn't think I'd be looking at that This early in my life but Im on this side of the sod as my WWII veterans use to say.
Dr. Mike, I just contracted C-19. Your videos are keeping me out of the hospital 🏥. We are very fortunate to benefit from your generosity. I will not even be able to interact with my internal medicine doctor. She’s incredibly overwhelmed. Thank you and know that you are saving the lives of people you will never meet in this lifetime. Well done 👍
"Wow, I look so young back then." Yeah dude. 2020's been real hard on all of us, man.
I swear some of these comments are so bizarre. I'm a physician as well and I appreciate all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for your service!
FYI PEOPLE MAY HAVE BIZARRE IDEAS BUT AT LEAST ITS SOMETHING TO GO ON. BUILD FROM THERE. I BET PEOPLE THOUGHT EINSTEIN, & ALL THE OTHER SCIENTISTS WERE BIZARRE AT THAT TIME
I’m a virologist who works on coronaviruses imagine the whole thing from my point of view. I really can’t explain what it’s like to be told to “do your research” on the internet.
@@markedmunds1966 Haha exactly. We use evidenced based research. We don't just "google".
So please direct us to the Kotes postulate results regarding this alleged virus. Until it is provided the virus has not been formally identified. Proof please Science not fairy dust.
Dr Sam Bailey.
My brother had COVID pneumonia and recently passed away on Feb 19th. He just couldn’t beat this. He was only 56. I started watching your videos when he was in the hospital and found them very informative. It’s to late for my brother but I hope they find something to help save others. Thank you for trying to explain all of this to us.
I am so sorry for your loss
Had a friend, same thing. 48 years old, triathlete , scuba dive4 and stuff. Got the Covid , never could walk right again , and it just got him.
@@shubhamdasgupta2235 Don't be sorry. Be angry-very angry.
My Grandpa passed away 2 nights ago with the COVID19, is heart broken for me to see him gone but he will be remember always and forever in spirit !!!
Javierjr TV god bless you and all your family for your sad loss.
So sorry for your loss, blessings to you and your family.
Be strong!! You will see him in your dreams.
Why is no one talking about sleep, hydration, diet, exercise, thoughts, breathing? The best doctors!!
cashmeoutside because that’s all things you should regularly be doing. You need a doctor to constantly tell you to freaking breathe, sleep and maintain a healthy lifestyle? Lmao some of you people are hilarious.
@@tiffytatortots1278 ... At this time, doctors are not taking it upon themselves to urge anyone (as they never do) to breathe PROPERLY, sleep quantity AND quality, natural diet with no glutamates, soy lethicin, etc; calm body with biochemical thoughts.. you know why? Because natural remedies are not profitable! They actually mislead ppl that suppressing symptoms with drugs is the easiest thing to do. It isn't. This doc really should have mentioned it... But then..no $$
@@sweetbeep them biochemical thoughts are great, cep if you get a bad trip, but msg prevents that.
Also the people we're surrounded by which we don't necessarily have control over. People who do not truly care for us and suck our energy
A virginia hospital organization included melatonin in treatment regimen. Not knowing why, I assume its for sleep. (I’ve heard of cases where infected have difficulty to sleep)
Bro, it wasn't your intention to explain a creator's internal design, but you've succeeded that task flawlessly, at least for me. It's extremely hard to lend my attention to evolution when this is unmistakably the universal blueprint of a designer. Great explanation.
So do you know about flagellum??
No one cares about your scary imaginary man in the sky.
I'm a physical therapist and I love the detailed explanation you gave on this topic. It was like listening to a lecture again but a lot more interesting with the way you explain things. I'm inspired to be more passionate about my profession.
The medical industry is corrupt and greedy as much as it can help people
Thank you for giving shouts out thanking the cleaning crew they are first responders also, need to be recognized.
Thanks much Dr Mike Hansen. Is it true that smokers are less likely to be infected with corona virus?
Absolutely!
Thank you for making this video Dr Hanson😷😷😷😷
@@MegaDiddlemaus thats not true! My husband smokes & he got extremely sick right before the virus was finally recognized here in the US & I'd bet anything he had Covid-19. I got it as well but my symptoms werent nearly as bad. He had fever, terrible whole body aches, his breathing was so bad he got out of breath just walking 15 steps to the kitchen. If it wasnt for our nebulizer machine for my asthma, he would of been in the hospital the 1st week. He was out of it the worst for 2 weeks but overall sick with symptoms for 7 weeks. This virus is no joke.
18:00 He actually answers the question.
Thank you so very much sir. I dont have time to watch this whole damn video. I need to go to the store.
Anthony Cunningham 🤣😂🤣
Not exactly, just guesswork; to me, it's just poor immune system, not genetic variations; it predominantly affects older folks, so has nothing to do with genes, but the weak immune defense
this the best on this subject; very well explained
We need more people like you
My husband takes Ace inhibitor for HBP. He caught first wave of Covid19 and breezed thru it. I had it bad and barely missed going to ER. This virus strikes indiscriminately and no one can be sure how one's body will react. Thank you Dr Hansen for your informative videos.
That includes what an experimental shot could do to someone’s body correct????
I had it and it was no joke I couldn’t breath right kept coughing very bad. My dad just passed away from it😢😢😢. What I did to make me better was lots of fruit, green tea with cinnamon tumeric and honey, robutisson a lot of rest
Are u vaccinated
Get the vaccine so you will minimize the chances of getting it again and you will minimize the effects if you get it. More importantly, it minimizes the chance of passing it on to other people to whom it could be deadly. It's the responsible choice.
😢
@@manuelnunez8802 vaccinated and unvaccinated the virus load are the same. US reported
No I’m not vaccinated
The dry humour in these videos is getting better and better. It’s gold.
I have to admit he is getting better.
THE ACE OF SPADES!!!!
blaby4ever Motörhead lol❣️
I was laughing so hard at the Arnold clip.
It's juvenile, it's like a hiccup in the flow of his discourse, appealing to the developmentally delayed or ADHD crowd, and I don't know why he'd want to make that kind of concession.... these videos are a tremendous amount of work to compose, and the subject is life and death, not the stuff of Southpark "wit".
Infection control nurse here, I love how you explained it! I’ll show this to our nurses soon! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
People died because they were sent home from the ERs & told, "Drink Lots of Fluids, Take Tylenol and get lots of Rest." 3-4 Days later, the Viral Infection had become Bacterial in the Alveoli and it was too late to save the Patient I already had a supply of BIAXIN & Quinine Syrup. As soon as I got sick, I took the Concentrated QUININE Syrup and took the Macrolide Antibiotic. My Fever and Chest Pressure were gone in 3 Days.
Where do you get this?
Medicine from
@@chellecross2755 The Concentrated Quinine Syrup is Not 🚫 Technically "Medicine" but Doctors have been using it for over 400 Years in Various Forms. The Gin & Tonic Cocktail 🍸 🍹. was invented in the 1700s in India, so the British could prevent Malaria & get Drunk at the same time. I get mine on AMAZON. (Don't take much at first. Only a few Tablespoons). The BIAXIN (Clarithromycin) is a MACROLIDE ANTIBIOTIC, for which you need a Doctor's Prescription. It was invented in 1980, is very similar to Zithromax, but is more Effective. BIAXIN is derived from an older Macrolide (Erithromycin), invented in 1949. All Macrolides work against Bronchitis, Pneumonia & LYME Disease. MDs are not very willing to give you much. They tend to Underprescribe.
@@chellecross2755 From the People who were given this "Medical Advice" & Foolishly trusted it, including my Nephew (A Reporter for the NYT - which explains why he believed the Quacks. He suffered for 3 weeks before he got better)
On natural immunity: I'm 37, I'm very active at work I climb ladders a lot. I believe I may be naturally immune. Lost my mother and my grandmother in September to the Delta variant and it was the toughest thing, my mom was on the ventilator for 80 days, in a coma. I would go to the ICU to visit her once a week because she was on ECMO and even though they weren't allowing visitors because she was on ECMO I was still allowed to visit which was a blessing. I really didn't care I just wanted to be near my mom, The hospital it was one of the biggest ICUs in the country and down every wall there is a ton of rooms and each one had a person with a ventilator. And there was several wings and several floors like this. I thought about all the money being raked in. But, I guess I was very angry. But I expected to get sick I never did, I got close enough to her that I could smell the air coming out of her lungs out of the ventilator. Didn't get sick. My wife got covid twice over the past 6 months, the first time she lost her taste and smell with bad body aches and couldn't get out of bed for a few days, we shared a soda at the beginning of her sickness before we realized it was covid. All I got was a little sniffle for a half a day. Then she came down with this omicron variant right after Christmas and again I expected to get sick finally, but I never did, I was an extremely close proximity with her for extended periods of time both times she was sick, the first time I had a headache a little bit for one day and I was wondering, is this it? Is this the covid inside me? But that was it it was just like a half of a day. Same thing with the omicron, I was in the same room with her very much and my son was hugging her and being near her and stuff and I was loving on him all the time you know picking him up and talking with him. Never got sick. By the grace of God. But I don't know if I have natural immunity, I guess there's no way to really tell, but I do know that I am a little perplexed that I haven't gotten sick at all. The only preventative stuff that I did was take 10, 000u vitamin D daily, when the pandemic was bad for a couple weeks, and when my wife was sick. That's about it though. So that's my 2 cents. God bless all you people who have lost somebody to this terrible abomination of covid. It's been the toughest thing in my entire life having to lose her we were so close, she was I believe the most special mom anybody could have ever asked for. Super compassionate, she would always pray with me and point me towards the Lord for just about everything. When she detected that something was bothering me or I was upset or sad about something, she would ask me to come sit next to her and talk about it even if I didn't want to. But eventually once I started talking about it I would always feel better and she would always somehow find some scripture and point me back to Jesus.And now that's what I'm going to do for my son. To all of y'all who have lost somebody: they're probably up there with my mom and my dad, and I believe they are very much alive where they are at. Beautiful in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints, yes it's hard to wrap our minds around this but it's true. As long as we are in the body we are apart from the Lord. And when we are with the Lord there is no better place to be. I'm sure once a person gets up there, they would never want to come back down here to this cursed earth. You will see them again soon, but not too soon, remain strong in God, And in Jesus. Go out and love immensely! Carpe diem!!! Hug your families a little longer and hold their hands a little tighter, because we are not guaranteed tomorrow. Treat every breath that comes out of your lungs as a blessing because each one is. Heaven is never that far away, just a breathe away. Be kind to everyone even the ones who are not kind to you, just don't let them take advantage of you. Once we get up there, it is the end of tearful goodbyes.... And nothing but hellos forevermore. And we will get a new glorified body one day, and you will see them again. Never despair, never lose hope, and spread it like wildfire. God is good amen.
God is good. Amen. UK 🇬🇧
Omg ur story touched me I lost my Mommie to Covid 💔😭😭I miss her so much she was my BFF I question everyday why my Mommie???she was a sweet loving mom who love her kids Nd grandkids…. I can’t cope with this at all
Amen my friend! Stay blessed 🙌 🙏
Amen!!! God bless you Zac! I am so comforted and blessed for randomly scrolling to and reading your message. Jesus is the Way! 100% You are so strong. 🙏❤️🩹
Indeed, God is good! God bless you brother in the Lord. His grace and mercy be with you and your family🙏💙
It almost killed me because of my uncontrolled diabetes. Pneumonia set in. I didn’t feel all that bad but an at home oxygen meter showed me something was wrong with my oxygen levels. Went to the hospital and was admitted. I still think that little finger meter saved my life, and medical staff of course.
My mum also has diabetes and in hospital was ur chest infected
Everyone should own an Oximeter, especially during Covid
I am a nurse. I have a lot of knowledge. What would we do without people like this. Years & years of study & training to be experts in their field. Thank you. This was informative. Take care. Be safe.
Nice msg. But your beginning about being a nurse. What does that have to do with the rest of your comment. 😂. Just state he's giving good knowledgable information. 🤣
Too complicated for a non medical person...don't understand all this med stuff.i am not a medical person ...I am a secretary 😣
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. No man is an island.
@@Diamond-cr6fx Think she was trying to make other people feel comfortable knowing that as a nurse, she has found that what he is saying sounds correct as far as she knows. *Medically speaking* In this way, we may feel it is correct and, he has alot of knowledge in his field. It was said in case anyone is not sure about this? That is just my thought on what they "may" be thinking by adding "I am a nurse"
My grandmother didn't attend junior high or high school. My grandmother never went to University or college. But if something was making you not feel well or you had a fever she knew how to take care of it. Nothing panicked or worried my grandmother. She had a calm sense about her.
A lot of people die because of neglect , while on the ventilator, you need to stay hydrated and feed for strength
Neglect because they are overwhelmed with patients but they need to hire more people.!!! They charge thousands for a visit at the Er they can afford to hire more staff. 🥺 so many people died.
My 91 year old mother and I (67 years) both had covid at the same time. We are both on Losarten; she uses breathing treatments I use a C-pap at night. I also take a Beta blocker and nose spray with fluticasone. Neither of us had to go to the hospital or dr. Not saying that we we not sick, cause we were, but we made it through without anything but over the counter meds.
Yup. It all adds up. Plus O+ blood helps. Lots of small factors. One study showed how smokers had a leg up bcz some of the alveoli receptors were already gummed up with tobacco. Go figure🙄
so ?. . . 40% of infected people are not as lucky as you . . you are not helping
So what bucket of unsubstantiated facts did you pluck that 40% number out of ?
I m with yall I am 62 have COPD stage 4 and Lupus It was bad do not get me wrong, but I did not go to the hospital and all I did was call my doctor, he sent me some prednisone and a adiabatic also I am on that one meds that Trump was talking about and o+ blood type
Exactly and I'm glad -- Some of murdered some are not. some are overdoesed with the medicine to 'relax' them before putting them to sleep like cats and dogs (venting) and then they may or may not be revived and then some are starved via their IV some are not. Its that simple.
I'm a general practitioner from Mozambique and since the first physiopathology of Covid-19 was described I always wondered why no one was talking about ace inhibitors for potential treatment, even asked some pneumologist about it and all they could say was no trials have been done. You are the first one to talk about them being a potencial treatment. Thanks for the video. Great content 👌🏼
Dr. Seheult from Medcram on here does. He's a Pulmonologist currently practising.
That not true, University of Minnesota started a trial on March 16 on Lorsatan.
Would that not be more for mitigating cytokine storms? I thought COVID-19 did not share the attributes of the Spanish Flu.
@@jamesthao5763 probably the info was not widely spread, if anyone could share the studies, I would deeply appreciate it.
Richard Phulchand Don’t you have access to ‘Up-to-date’???All this information is there
He looks like a serious type of person but I appreciate how he tries to make his discussion a little fun.
What the Phage! I would like to know the cause of why all this is happening... so sad most doctors don’t learn about nutrition and energy...
@@franrushie1383 Yes. If everyone had better nutrition, and the mainstream news networks talked about vitamins as opposed to fear mongering, we could get through each flu season with much less pain... Including this one.

@Tony Toney I agree. Unfortunately, I'm not looking for something to laugh about. My comment was actually more of a complement but maybe, you interpreted it the other way.
My dad had all 4 covid vaccines and still got Covid from Corona hospital and just passed away 8/8/23. R.I.D
Dr. Drew talks about the recent study which came out showing that 50% of the younger men who took the gene therapy injections and had cardiac symptoms as a result, have been shown to have PERMANENT heart damage.
ITS A EUGENICS JAB. IT DID THE JOB IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. CONDOLENCES.
Some people that got infected with covid itself also had cardiac symptoms (myocarditis). If someone is prone to it, it can be from covid or the vaccine unfortunately.
its vaccine exposure that caused the myocarditis. everyone is exposed, beware.@@elim.1537
I absolutely love your videos. I’m a nurse and sometimes I need a refresher on certain topics or would like to learn something new. Thank you
I take Losartan and was on an antiviral when I came down with the symptoms. Although I was quite sick and had a fever, it was nothing compared to the flu I had last year. I’m an older female with underlying health conditions and I sailed right through it, thank God!
I have asthma, I wouldn't live through this.
@@buttarain27 I also have asthma and copd. Hubby has heart disease and high blood pressure. He came home from work with covid. I don't know what to expect next.
Deserves a "Best of KZhead" award. Outstanding content.
RodCornholio i disagree. Key disease outcomes are determined by age and premdical conditions and not by how kuch virus you get and where.
Yes. He's excellent !
Thank you Dr great information
Thank you all :)
And a good looking doctor, too!!!
Thank you for keeping so many people above ground
This is beautifully explained. Took me back yo my A&P and respiratory school. I see this In the hospital everyday. Thank you
Thank Dr. Hansen. I'm so glad that while I was screwing around in biology and chemistry class someone was paying attention.
As a CRNA on a covid intubation team who also happens to take lisinopril I found this to be FREAKIN GREAT! Outstanding explanation. Thanks!
85 y.o. mother just released fm ICU having spent many days w/COVID, double pneumonia & sepsis; any one of which she could have died from. We could not visit. Doc said she was surprised mom even made it out of hosp. After release mom relayed many ppl admitted w/COVID had never been vaxx & some had all vaxx & still died. We had been praying, praising Almighty G-d the whole time & thanking HIM for her slow but sure total recovery. We are so very grateful 🙏 & continually give thanks for whatever time left remains until we all leave this earth. This pandemic is a wakeup call for us all. Plez get your life right w/your creator if you haven't already. Eternity is forever w/no do overs. 🙌 Blessings.
I'm glad your Mom is doing better. Enjoy every special moment, you're lucky you still have her. I lost mine in 2009 and miss her and our chats.
I worked in S.I.C.U. for ten years and that was the best description of ARDS I’ve ever heard! Love your humor too, u need that to survive the rough days and enjoy the good ones. Keep up the wonderful work and thank u.
I very much appreciate that you explain your topics intelligently. You provide enough chemistry and biology to make your topics precise and educational yet still accessible for the lay audience. Also, I appreciate the screen capture of the studies you reference so that anyone can investigate further if they wish. Your presentations are well produced and edited. I know how much time, work and commitment that requires, especially for a practicing physician. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. Your presentations are a breath of informative, fresh air in an otherwise maze of more commercialized content. Do not ever doubt that what you are doing with your You Tube contributions are worthwhile. Thank you!
This was an amazing explanation of an incredibly complex process. Thrilled to have found his channel. I'm going to binge watch every video available.
Please Jesus protect us all and our families from Covid and all its variances. Amen 🙏🏼
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️🔥🙏🙏
God Blessyou. 🙏🏻❤️🌎
Really? You want to come here to spread your book too
You keep looking to Jesus to save us. Jesus have sent help but you’re not seeing it. Jesus is trying to save us by sending doctors like Doctor Mike here.
@@willienillie6337 stop trying to take away from Dr Mike's, and all the other fantasitc doctors (amazingly) hard effort and work they've put in learning and training to be a doctor. You put your effort into praying and god. Now that things start to go wrong, you're glad and relieved that others put their time into something else that will save you. No doubt you will try to somehow claim this doctor is working through god. Now go away and so something more useful than your time
Mostly over my head but it's like learning a foreign language--immersion is best. I will keep tuning in.
I read the comment section... and now I lost hope for the future of humanity...
Me too man, me too
Strange eh I read the Holy Bible and found salvation and life everlasting through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
@@SparkitusMaximus Good for you
@@lee.as.in.l.e.e.7394 good for the world.
My dear sister died from COVID19 the end of October. She went through a lot in a short period of time. Her name is Rev Annette Marie Roache. She is missed
I'm so sorry.
Peace to you and family 🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾
So sorry. My condolences.
My condolences i can relate🌷🙏
Love the shout out and that part where you said hey you wanna have some fun cracked me up to no end! Thanks for helping the non educated learn so easily :)
Simple answer: Everyone’s different.. preexisting conditions, metabolism, immune strength, etc.........
I have cancer and I beat this virus but that why I’m here to find out why some die and others don’t
So happy for you. If you can beat the virus, you can beat cancer. Stay safe! ❤
Congratz dude!
Well done, I pray you also fully recover from cancer. I hear more alkaline diet can also help with the reversal of cancer.
Me to I have cancer but I don’t ha cov19 and I pray for all this people I hope I never get this virus is sad how peoples die the breaking my heart I pray for everybody God bless everybody🙏
Stop lying
My guy just sent a shout out to the janitors!!! 🤦🤦😂😂💯💯💯❤️❤️I respect that.
Reminds me of my introduction to physiology class! How time passes ! Thank you
Very informative! The visuals made it much easier to follow along and understand what you were saying. Thanks, Dr. Mike!
I was a RRT for 7 yrs am now an MSN with 20+ yrs Trauma ICU experience & this was an amazing explanation of the heart/lung & infectious pathophysiology. Our Drs always teach when rounding & this video reminded me of some of the best Attendings. The more we understand this as nurses, the better we’re able to assess & report changes. Also, any Dr that clips a vid of “deez Nutz” has to be all around amazing!! 🙏🏽
Man, this virus is like a bad late night infomercial.....”BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!”
Rick Sterling his humor is so dry and dorky. It’s kinda great, though.
Rick Sterling .order right now and you will receive not one but two viruses, one for you and one for a friend and the government will pick up the bill. Call in the next five minutes and you will get free shipping, but wait we will send the flu package absolutely free.
Yup and if we re open our economy, they'll keep coming back like a robo call.
😁 You said it best
@Shaman96: Well, the virus is real, but the FEAR MONGERING over how deadly it is, is what is FAKE NEWS! Watch the video called "Not So Trusted Voices" and one by Dr. Shiva - VERY informative as to what's REALLY going on - a dirty commie China regime plot to destroy economies worldwide! This virus is, in fact, by their OWN admission (the 'health experts') far MILDER than any virus we've had to date! It affects the same damned demographic as flu viruses affect EVERY year! Yet we've NEVER had to shut down economies before - this is total madness, and the statistics they're spewing in the news are all propagandist LIES!! People are saying their hospitals are EMPTY - there is no "crisis"!!! Please watch the videos, if you haven't already.
PULMONARY LAVAGE --used for people with chronic infection of the lungs --it cleans ou tthe lungs and the patient can then brreath without effort. The treatment consists of washing out first one lung then the other so ther patient can still breath with one lung, while the other is being washed. A solution is put into one lung, the patiient is put on a board that vibrates or shakes to loosen he junk in the the lung, then aspirated out --after a short revovery period, the other lung is washed. At least two hospitals do this--the -University of Colorado and the University at San Diego. Pulmonary lavage treatment cleared out 80% of gunk from the lungs of a smoker-patient said he felt like a new person. I think this method could be used to clean out lungs of covid-19 patients.
Phenomenal explanation, Dr. Hansen. Thank you. Also, that bit about "Hey...you wanna have some fun??" was hilarious. Thank you for maintaining the good humor.
I am really struggling with this virus, I have had symptoms for 69 days now, just over 2 months. Extremely painful, distressing symptoms from shortness of breath, chest pain to extreme fatigue and body aches. I feel hopeless as most other people have shifted the virus in a matter of weeks if not days. I am usually fit & healthy no underlying issues in my mid 20s.
OMG, I feel sorry for you and wish you the very best from the Netherlands. I hope you can counsel a doctor today or a.s.a.p.!
You had the virus you would be dead by now, GO SEE A DOCTOR. In your case more like a shrink......
@@wayne1235 why.
You have to steam bath with salt and then rinse with normal water temperature, and steam inhalation with salt or at leasr 5 minutes and gargle hot water with salt 1 tsp salt in 1 glass water every 4 hours. You will see of easeness of breath. God Yahusha (Hebrew name of Messiah)said that He is our salt. God bless and will cure you. I pray for your speed recovery.
Drink lots of fluid, not cold, especially warm water and lots of hot lemon. Eat hot soft watery food like watery rice with spicy and hot hot soup. Take paracetamol often if still have temperature. Eat plenty of orange and plenty of vitamin. And eat plenty of fruits. Boil ginger, Gallic, very hot and inhale it deeply. Have plenty of rest. Most importantly hot lemon at all time and plenty of fluids and energy drinks. That’s what I did. You’ll be alright
Thank you for this pertinent info. This is exactly what we need to know and you are providing this on your own time...thank you for your generosity.
Seems to me there's a lot more that we don't know than do know. My entire family had covid (tested positive) My mother who has copd, kidney and liver issues, genetic issues and cancer she survived with very little medical intervention... There is more that we do not know.
I have to listen intently to understand what you are saying, but, I really appreciate your videos. I think the more informed I am , the less afraid I will be. Thank you.
The Dr. explains this complicated subject well, I do understand what he is saying but god knows if I'll remember much of it if I had to tell it to someone else...
melanie adie same here.He explained it very well and very thorough .But I’m like you,I don’t think so ,I can remember it all?Thx to this doctor who is eager to share his expertise to the people especially in this trying time we’re facing ..
You’re an excellent professor! It’s much appreciated on top of the selfless work you’re doing on the front lines💕🙏 16:54 is an excellent overview for the layman🙏
Not vaccinated and have covid right now . I had body ache, major headache, chills and shortness of breath at times . But I’m getting better every day . Today is my 6th day and I thank God for my strength! Natural immune system 👍🏽
take Vit D3, Vit C, Zinc and if you can get it (prescription) get Budesonide and use nebulizer. 9th to 10th day is critical and you want to protect your lungs
@@janeclark6342 thank you for that ! I read that day 5-10 it can get worst .
@Mystical Vibrations always
Use a vaporizer to help you breath hot showers boil water and put a towel over your head to steam that helped me so much for my headache being outside helped me so much it literally took my headache away I had it for 3 days it was horrible
@@gabrielaj7941 thank you so much
Hello Mike. I only recently saw your your youtube channel. I am a registered nurse and I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. It was accurate, clear and precise. Thank you so much
Thank you for your explanation of COVID and your dedication to all your patients DURING this PANDEMIC. Keep safe!
Outstanding presentation! Love the detailed explanation of this disease process, although I am certain you simplified it greatly.
Outstanding video! I’m a fan of your knowledge and expertise. Thank you for sharing and teaching us at a comprehensive level. X-Rays and pictures really help us understand your message.
I got Covid today idk how it even happen, i never go do like outdoor activities but just staying home. I got this major headache, high fever, hard time to breath.. but today is 4/5 days i’m getting better everyday! Drink alot of waters, personal hygiene’s, and eat healthily
How are you doing now? As I see your post was 4 months ago?
Thank you Dr. Mike. So much easier to understand. Broken down so well. Thanks for giving us this information.
Who kept watching even though they had no clue what he was talking about?
When he explains, I imagine Covid is like millions of Chinese Armies invading the world and there's just so many no brain viruses but capable of duplicating itself and destroying it's host by making everything in it's path in total chaos... Come to think there's so tiny and in millions.. A new normal is surely going to come.👽.🛀🛌🤧🤢🤮☠️👻
Ma Naomi Potot America creates all these virUSes to start war and create pensions between countries.
@Jimmy James the Spanish flu or even Ebola have a different impact. I guess it was just because of how it was explain in the medical perspective that it came to my mine how it was closely resembles that of millions and millions of foreign Invaders. I'm from Philippines and we have on going dispute of our territories with China and other South East Asia countries .. We already have lose control of those islands and tensions are high.. China has already built infrastructure there. Anyways.. I hope the behavior particularly the objective of duplicating itself, eventually making chaos and ultimately killing the host will not come close to reality in the big picture... 👍👌✌️
Pep Nyc it’s not so difficult
Yeah, I got a C in beginning Chemistry in college. That is when I realized the sciences weren't going to be for me, even though I did well in them in high school. I see something like this and all I can think is "Holy Crap!"
So how do you explain the situation in Israel? Out of the people that died in hospital 60% were vaccinated! If the vaccine is that good shouldn’t they be protected enough to not die - not that high of a rate. And why is Israel at dose number 4? I don’t know of any other vaccine that needs that many boosters in such short time spans.
Thank you for being smart and becoming a Dr. I have learned so much from you! God bless you!
Thank you for taking the time to make this videos to educate the public!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for presenting this information. Some of the science was over my head, but I'm glad you went through it all so thoroughly. It is good information to have. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. 🙂👍
Thank you for all your time and wisdom. Truly you are a wonderful teacher.
I love listening to the doctor I'm thank full that he takes the time to educate us . Excellent
Thank you for explaining this, very much appreciated!
I love that you make diagrams & things to help easily understand what you’re talking about. Very informative, & thank you for sharing
I don't remember show my diagram s, or was it my betting + scratch cards , Pls don't share
Thank you for your clear explanation of lung physiology, and the steps leading to a cytokine storm. Also for sharing other details of the disease! Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you Dr. Mike for everything you do and breaking this down for us so we have a better understanding 👍🙏

@@ogadlogadl490 Hmmm Im getting zero notifications On ANY replys
I had Covid a few weeks ago, tell tale sign was loss of taste and smell. I had no fever or any other respiratory symptoms. From days 3-6 it felt like mono with a hangover style headache, but outside of that I was fine, I made a full recovery. One thing you need to watch for with this is that it can dehydrate you, biggest thing is to make sure you drink PLENTY of fluids and eat a good diet and also get plenty of vitamin C and D. I feel this made a big difference.
So glad you made it through 🙂
Thank you for your advice. I am happy that you made a full recovery.
Thanks for the insight, don’t forget that the form of vitamin D should be D3.
100% on the money! The weirdest thing was a hangover like headache with cough for 6 days. Now I just have a lingering cough (day 14). My very 1st symptom was the hangover-like headache on Day 1 paired with a scratchy like cough. Day 2 is when I had body aches and chills but now fever. Maybe slightly elevated temperature of 99.5. Then day 3 to 9 just had cough and a weird pain in the middle of my back (thoracic area) which is now gone. Feeling good most of the time and a bit fatigue.
@@Meganmama : Your fiancé and you will be fine. Hang in there!
BEAUTIFUL JOB IN EXPLSINING Dr. Keep up the good work.
NICE WAY EXPALINING DOC !👌 BEING A NURSE MYSELF ITS NICE TO HEAR TEACHING FROM AN EXPERT REALLY ENJOY 👏
I have to say without hurting my A&P professors feelings, that your videos are so elaborated, very detailed and explanatory definitely easy to understand even for those without a health care background. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, passion, skills, and talent with the world. Can't wait to continue expanding my knowledge about the novel corona virus and medicine through your videos.🙏🏻👨⚕️
I had it in October along with the rest of my family. Im in my 40s and I'm a smoker but other than that I'm pretty healthy. I pushed myself to work around the house, yard etc for at least 4-5 hours a day. I didn't want to lay around and let fluid collect in my lungs. I got over it in a week except for lingering mucous (most likely from cigarette smoking). The rest of my family that laid around for days did much worse than me. I realize there are many things that contribute to each person's recovery but I truly believe that exercising your lungs while having covid-19 only helps in healing.
i also think the same
Who told you you had it? To have 'recovered ' "FROM IT" ..... A positive NON DIAGNOSTIC ( SO NO DIAGNOSIS .... FROM THE RT PCR TEST)? AND Did you know it still HASN'T ever been proven to exist? From the CDC's own document on Covid ..... page 39 .... THEY admit it. Do some research, even the Dr's who COULD mean well, are PERPETUATING all this without proof it exists. They got 13,000 plus for each of your cases, and 40,000 for each of you on a ventilator. CARES FOR THEMSELVES ACT money
You mean influenza
@@blainebunton no I was positive for covid-19. I've had flu many times in my life and that was nothing like I've ever experienced. Back to back high fevers, muscle aches and loss of taste to name a few. One day I had no cough than the next day I did. I don't know what the CDC says from one day to the next but I do know that what I had in October was unlike anything else I've ever come down with.
You are a wise person❤ God bless you. Thank you for sharing your experience, with our friend flu (covid-19 virus)😉👍
That was a very nice video. I loved the balance of technical and lay science displayed. I am a pharmacologist and will recommend this video to my students!
@Tassia Chagolla,. Thank you for your experience and So glad you had been recovery from that terrible sickness.
Thank you for a great video! 🤩🔥😎 My father passed in June from COVID. After two weeks of trying to increase his oxygen with some of the techniques and medications you described in this video. The decision to go on a ventilator was made; however he had heart attack as they were intubating him. He was too weak. I want people to understand; that yes people die all the time from all the things they have before; but this is different. You do NOT to not get to be with your loved one, to hold hands, to pray, to say I love you. It is horrible!!! To know they are alone (except for the wonderful nurses and doctors who are there risking their lives for your family) is heartbreaking. My dad was a man of faith, family and country and died without us. I do not want this for any more families. Wear your mask, wash your hands and stay safe. Much love ❤️ 💕❤️💕
My father also died from this disease 😭
Unfortunately I'm in this club also my dad died November 6th....what ways heavy on our hearts is he died without us there😪 We got to talk to him about an hour before I believe he heard us because his heart stopped after he heard from all of us, we all wanted him to get better but we understood if he was tired & wanted to stay in heaven we would see him one day.
AMEN!!
My husband had an appointment with his doctor who sent him to the ER and called to tell them he was coming, despite that we waited SIX hours to be called back...I went back with him....he was tested and some jerk came into thel room and proclaimed , " congratulations...you teated positive for Covid", like it was a joke...they tested me and took me out of his room...I never saw him alive again...I was in the hospital for 6 days in complete isolation...a nurse came, took vital signs and left the room..meals were rushed in, served in styrofoam and was usually cold.. I was in a room with full bathroom so I could toilet myself ( whoopdedo) but wanted to shower but couldn't because the nurse wouldn't cover the IV site so I washed using the sink 😖😖 I left the hospital...7 days later I got a 4:30 am phone call asking us to come to the ICU... I held his cold hand when his heart stopped ( I signed the DNR and stoppage of meds papers..)...He was with his Saviour. During his time I wAs never informed of him condition..I felt they really didn't know what they were doing...does anyone else feel that your loved one got incomplete care???
heartbreaking.
You are really good at teaching bravo monsieur Why not teach other pathologies What a gifted man merci beaucoup
Question Doctor ,is it mandatory testing you for covid-19 by a doctor , clinic or hospital even thou they screen you for fever and everything is normal?
I had covid and all I did was drink tea and go under blanket and sweated everything out of my body. For 3 days
3:15 thank you for the shout out! I am a professional cleaner, and have been for 10 years. We usually get looked down upon, nevermind that we usually have to have top clearance credentials and make a decent wage because of such. And the fact that we were deemed "essential workers" in the midst of this pandemic. So thank you again for the shout out!
You explain medical things very well. Thank you. We need a little humor
Recovering from Covid-19, finally, after over 2 months from onset. Electrolytes contributed to the positive turning point and are crucial to healing. Please pass this information on to those who may need to know.

@@milels6917 Thank you
@Dee I like water with Liquid I.V. - individual packets of electrolyte powder without artificial flavors, coloring, preservatives or artificial sweeteners. It does have cane sugar, though. I sometimes split the packets so they're less sweet. I'm going to try a sugar free, vegan version which also tastes good. Just an fyi if you're also dealing with covid: I've relapsed three times since writing the initial comment. It's a common cycle for all of us who are "Covid-19 "Longhaulers", those who don't get well quickly yet still survive with months of symptoms. If this happens to you or to anyone you know, Facebook groups such as Long Haul Covid Fighters Round 1 - 80+ Days and Survivor Corps are so helpful.
No. Covid-19. Calling the virus CCP just feeds into trump's deflection tactics to avoid admitting his own responsibility in the deaths of 215,000+ people so far.
I happen to take one of the drugs the doctor mentioned, started with an asthma inhaler immediately, took zinc, and drank lots of Gatorade. I have several risk factors yet I was refused a Covid test. This was back in March. In other states, people were being tested more than once. The fever and cough was the worst.
Exactly !! Nexo M. That is my sentiments as well. Connected to the hip.
Absolutely love this explanation. As a safety professional in an industrial setting, I teach RPD, Respiratory Protective Devices. Part of this instruction includes some information on the breathing and gas exchange process. This is great information, and explained in a very understandable way. Thank you. Love the channel.
