To Spank or Not to Spank? That is the Real Question.

 My Quora Answer to: Would you spank a teen like me if you had to?

"Unless it’s done between consenting adults, spanking is VERY rarely warranted. Before I go into more detail, allow me to provide my child-forwarding (and not “-rearing”) credentials."

The COVID-19 Antibiotic Cocktail

Trump is going back to work tonight only three days after being hospitalized with a COVID-19 infection. I tried looking up the ingredients of the "antibiotic cocktail" but could only discover the manufacturer (Regeneron). I suppose that the recipe is proprietary, but it would be helpful if at least physicians would know in order to educate patients. 

And yes, I do know someone who caught it early on, and she ended up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. It's real. It's out there. And it can be fatal.

"Serological status at baseline also predicted how rapidly patients had alleviation of their COVID-19 clinical symptoms. In the untreated (placebo) patients, seropositive patients had a median time to alleviation of symptoms of 7 days, compared to seronegative patients who had a median time to alleviation of symptoms of 13 days.

REGN-COV2 rapidly reduced viral load through Day 7 in seronegative patients (key virologic endpoint)."

Sublingual Benadryl in Acute Allergic Reactions

This is the first time I learned something from a Quora Question. I am now going to advise my clients to suggest using sublingual diphenhydramine at home during an acute allergic reaction to their patients. The Question was pure genius.
