Why did you leave out the remainder of that paragraph?
"But while GGO’s are common, the ones that are turning up among Covid-19 patients are distinctive. “If we see this very round shape and peripheral distribution, that’s atypical of other types of infections but it’s something we frequently see with [Covid-19],” he explains."

- isthispermanent 6y agoIf it's something that's common and "there are many things that can cause it", what exactly do I need to be worried about? Serious question, give me some context writer. For all I know GGO's are extremely common, come and go, and could be caused by something as routine as sitting around a campfire. "We’ve seen patients with mild GGOs that heal completely, whereas others develop scar tissue almost like a skin injury, which is permanent" Awesome. Zero help. But thanks for planting that seed of fear. Calling fire when there is no fire is as bad as not calling fire if there is a fire.
- ourmandave 6y agoAwesome. Zero help. But thanks for planting that seed of fear. Well, to be fair, the Killer Asteroid and Murder Hornet aren't living up to the hype, so you gotta go back to the basics.
- enraged_camel 6y ago>>Awesome. Zero help. But thanks for planting that seed of fear. It is a pandemic. We absolutely need to be fearful, because it will encourage us to take extra precautionary or avoidance measures we otherwise would not have taken. This is why "they are just trying to scare people!" is not a valid criticism in this context. The entire reason the pandemic is re-surging is because people are not scared.
- dvt 6y ago> This is why "they are just trying to scare people!" is not a valid criticism in this context. It absolutely is. Fear is not conducive to prudent decision-making. Fear is what brought us the inane toilet paper shortage a few months ago. No news outlet is being level-headed with its reporting -- whether on the left or on the right. This, combined with zero accountability for needless flame-fanning by pieces like the one linked, creates an environment where it's hard to discern what's true and what's not.
- isthispermanent 6y agoI agree, both sides are negligent. The only place you can go for real news is first and foremost the raw data. And second, Twitter.
- Kye 6y agoA rapid shift from a toilet paper supply chain optimized for workplaces and retail to a sudden spike in demand on the home-focused supply chain caused the shortage. People actually needed that toilet paper because what they normally used was locked up at their workplace and they didn't have enough supply at home.
- dvt 6y agoThis is categorically untrue. It's well documented that people were hoarding[1] due to (and I quote) the "influence of perceived threat." [1] https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0234232 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
- Kye 6y agoTwo things can be true: 1: People were hoarding because of the media hype 2: The supply chain was strained from a sudden and completely reasonable shift given the circumstances Does your link address 2 or compare the impact?

- peteradio 6y agoFrankly, the discussion is imprecise. There is no indication that scarring GGOs ever accompany asymptomatic cases.
