  Speaker 3: the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, so many questions coming in,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: many of which I don't have the answers to. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I reached out to someone who could help. His name

• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the questions that had been flooding my inbox, touching on
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: everything from is it safe to run outside? Is it
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: safe to run with a friend? How long is this

  Speaker 4: We are all going through this together. I'll be upfront

  Speaker 3: reach out to me over email. It's Emily at hurdle
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: dot us. And with that, let's get to hurdling.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Today. I am sitting down with doctor Darien Sutton. He's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: a trained emergency physician host of Doctors Without Boundaries Doctor
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Darien on Instagram. I have been following you and it
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: has been so helpful for me. I am so grateful
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: for your time to help answer the questions that have
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: been coming at me that I am certainly not qualified
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: to help with.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just appreciated to have more people talk to me
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: about the facts, So thank you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Of course. So first off, let's talk about the basics.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Talk to me about what the symptoms for coronavirus are
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and how it spreads.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, great question.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people, first off, many of us
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: had the last time we sat in a biology class
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: was like in high school. So a lot of times
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I think we look at this and we're trying to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: remember all these details that we remember from our initial classes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: but it may not be effective or appropriate situation.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So first off is that the COVID nineteen.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Virus, also known as the coronavirus, is a specific type
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of virus that belongs to a family of virus. That
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: family includes viruses like the STARS virus, which was involved
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in the Operation two thousand and three, as well as MERGED,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: which is a Middle East respiratory syndrome, which is a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: relatively rare virus that is mostly not really that noticeable
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: in the United States in terms of.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: The amount of people that have had it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: The COVID nineteen virus specifically is new because it has
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: not been isolated in human species. There's a lot of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: research about where it came from, and the most founded
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: one is that it's basically is a zoomotic virus, meaning
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that it originated from animals, and what they postulate is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that most likely it came from that and had transferred
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: over to humans.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Now, the biggest.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Question is like, how does that even happen. As a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: virus is transferring from one host to another, it's DNA mutants,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and sometimes that mutation can allow it to be successible
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to another species, which unfortunately is human. So what we
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: found is that that virus has crossed over that likely
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: happened last year and now has led to the current pandemic.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The virus is like the other virus is within its
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: family a respiratory virus, or it causes respiratory symptoms like fever,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: call shortness of breast, and unfortunately this can progress to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a pneumonia and in a very few cases well sadly
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: now many cases that can progress with death.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Now, who is at the highest risk for coronavirus?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So, right now, although we have a historical research from
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: similar viruses like coronavirus.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: We really are looking at the data from China and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: what we found is that anyone over sixty years old
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: has a significantly increased risk of a severe harm from
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: this virus, specifically patients who are over eighty. With that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: being said, patients who are also immune compromise with any age,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and we always try to include prigant patients inside that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: group as well, because they're naturally at an immunosuppressed state
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and they're at higher risk than others.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Now, the questions coming in from the followers, can I
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: have coronavirus and not know it?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Great question?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Right now, we're noticing that people are transmitting this virus,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and what we try to preach specifically from the hospital
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: standpoint is why we need to socially distanced because many
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: people are walking around with this virus and don't realize
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that they have it. A lot of our research people
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: have to understand it's based off of people whose self
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: report or present to the hospital. That means that we're
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: only really looking at those patients who have severe symptoms.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But these patients come from somewhere.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And most likely they're coming from their community where they
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: may have been involved or interacting with someone who had
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: mild or no symptoms. And those are the people who
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: are transcending the virus most often commonly and making it
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: more persistent.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: All right, So then the questions come in about exercise.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Can you safely run outside right now?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really important to help people understand
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the answer to that question. When I preach about social distancing,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: sometimes it can be confused with social isolation, and I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: want to make sure people understand there's a difference. Social
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: distancing means that yes, you can definitely still run outside.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You can run on.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Run on the street, you can run wherever you feel
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: most come. What we're trying to preach is avoiding large gathering.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: So you definitely should not be running in a group.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: If you're running right now, the crucial time that we
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: don't want to mix households or family unit. So if
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you're running with a roommate, that is fine because you're
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: obviously already in close contact with him, but you really
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be in close contact with other people who live
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: in different spaces because this is how the virus spreads.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Right, So, if you have a run buddy that you
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: usually run with every Tuesday morning, are you saying skip
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the run buddy, No, Honestly.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I would say just be cognizant of the fact.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I definitely don't want people to feel I think exercise
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is really important, especially for mental health. In the setting
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of social distancing, I just want you to take costs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: So if you're running with someone from another family unit,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: just make sure that you're like, you know, have an
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: established understanding before you go out and say, hey, like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we're going to follow these guidelines to make sure that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: we don't transmit this virus. Let's do our beds not
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to interact. Definitely don't touch as best we can. I mean,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you're running, so stay six feet away from each.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Other, right, right, Totally. I actually went out Central Park
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: over the weekend, and I had a deep appreciation for
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the quote unquote groups of people that were all just
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: standing about six feet apart from one another.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: If people can understand and we'll get into this as
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: an emergency doctor, not only is our patients who are
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: over eighty at risk, but we are significantly at risk
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of breaking down this healthcare structure because we do not
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: have the room of capacity to prepare for everyone becoming
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: sick around the same time. And now they're coming out
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: with reports that er physicians are becoming sick and ill.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And now I'm trying to express the people like, if
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you can't imagine how it can be for an old
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: person to be sick, just think about talking to me
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and think about the risk that I'm putting myself into.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So it's like infuriating now when I walk outside and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: see brunches packed with people, I can understand it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean it goes without saying that. I'm
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: sure so many people are thankful for what it is
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: that you're doing, and you know the risks that you
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: incur every single day just by showing up and helping
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: other people.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So thank you for that. Thank you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciate it. I appreciate anyone taking an
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: effort to honestly help.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Increase.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: The voice of people can't be heard, and a lot
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: of us are working so hard that we don't have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the chance or the modality or the mediums to be
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: able to communicate. But I'm just grateful for this conversation.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Any idea of how long this will last.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That is a question that's still trying to be answered.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of analysts and epidemiologists that are looking
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: into the timeline.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: A lot of.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: People are postulating or thinking that maybe it can be
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: done at June or July, but it's really still too
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: hard to tell. And this is founded on the principle
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: that we don't have test being available in the emergency room.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I can't even get myself a test. I can only
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: get testifications who are higher risks, who are being admitted
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to the hospital. This means that many people are coming
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: in with systems, being discharged and going back into the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: community without a free understanding of.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Their actual risk and their actual diagnosis.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, we don't have the ability
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to set a trajectory. We cannot We don't know when
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we're going to beat we don't know when it's going
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to pop out, and it makes us really hard to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: calculate when this.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Will ends, right, And I think it's interesting. I mean,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I went into a store this morning and they had
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: just received a new shipment of lifestyle and Clorox wipes,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: and someone messaged me who works at a hospital, and said,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: where is this? We need these supplies like it's literally
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: no discrimination against where these shortages are happening, and everyone's
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: just looking for, you know, the basic necessities right now.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: People don't understand that even as physicians, we are literally
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: rationing out math. I'm talking about every type of math.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: We don't have enough math toon. They will not be
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: enough loves. They're already limited beds because the hospital people
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: don't realize that hospitals operate close to capacity at baseline
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to any kind of mass casualty incident for a pandemic
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: significantly and severely disrupt our flow.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And people don't get that right. Right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Well, the next question coming in from the followers, can
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: my dog or pet get coronavirus and can they spread it?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I have two cats and so I always get fearful
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of this, and I understand the concern behind this question.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: There has not been any research that shows that tads
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the dogs can get this virus.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: As I stand in.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: The beginning, this virus viruses is very specific and it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: kind of a happenstance that they're able to inoculate or
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: cause us, or get inside of us as humans because
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: of a specific mutation that's heard that that finished the virus.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: That being said, it would be really difficult for that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to happen again for another species that is close by,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: like a dog or a cat.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Well, thank God that we can hold on to our
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: anxiety animals.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and please take care of the shelters that are
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: trying their best to manage all of these these animals
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that are that don't have a home.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I was just reading about that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Another listener asks, I've been told that I should change
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: clothes right when I come inside. Is that necessary?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: So, first off, I have to answer this question with
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the understanding that some of us are privileged enough to
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: have this ability to have clothing in order to be
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: able to change. If you have the ability and you
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: have to be resourced, I would definitely do things. I mean,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I can go through my whole thing that I do.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm coming from a high risk environment. I have a
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: partner in my apartment, and I don't want to expose
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: him to as much as I can, I don't want
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to expose him. So the things that I do is
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that I leave my shoes outside. Obviously, you just have
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: to live in a space and stafe enough to do that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I also make sure that I take off my.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Clothes immediately and put them in the washing machine.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: But obviously before I even do all of this, I'm
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: changing from my thrubs into regular clothes in my office.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And then coming home.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: But even with that being said, I still change, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: if I'm running outside, I try my best to change
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to take a shower as soon as I get back again.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: This is not really legitimized in research, but me, my
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: thinking is like mitigating as much as much as a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: transmiss as possible because the virus thoes live on through
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and now.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Specific to the running community, we've been seeing everything from
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: of course friends' weddings to large marathons. I was supposed
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: to run their London Marathon at the end of April
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: that's been postponed. A lot of people are kind of,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: aside from the normal reasons to be unsettled during this time,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: unsettled because they had such a crazy, big training mass
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: and they just don't know what to do to go
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: to a more sedentary possible lifestyle. So do you have
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: any at all, like words of wisdom for these people
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: that were kind of at peak fitness and they're just
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: really anxious about how.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: To handle this.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely working with a psychotherapist on
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: resources because I want to make sure that I clarify
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I have good statements when I'm talking about dealing and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: self managing with anxiety. Especially, a lot of us are
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: just finding out that we're having anxiety. That's really important
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to realize. It's really difficult because there's not going to
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: be in any time soon a way that people can
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: work out in a group format like a marathon or
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a large event. What I would honestly say is take
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: advantage of the time that you can can run outside down,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you can run outside and definitely no one's judging you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I would make sure to set goals for yourself and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: organize your day as much as possible. You have to
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: realize that as working people, the majority of the people
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: who are listening to the set up and go to work,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: now that that's kind of been taken away, we have
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to organize our homes in a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: way that we can define spaces for sleeping, for entertainment,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and for working, and I think making sure that we
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: stay on the same schedule that we will already on.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: It's really important because once your sleep schedule changes, it
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: can induce other risk factors for depression, increase, anxiety, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: then that can also be related to your health overall.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Right, So I mean you're touching on anxiety and mental health.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Any other suggestions aside from you know, designating designating certain
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: spaces to make sure that you have a separate space
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: for sleep versus where you're working on, just how to
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: you keep calm and keep anxiety at bay during this time.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really person dependent. Being most honest
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: with you, If you have a therapist, emailing them and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: asking them for the possibility of video conferences is really important.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: A lot of the medical community understands the importance for
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: social distancing, so we are quickly adapting to be able
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to see our patients. For example,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: my twin brother is an obstetrician and his client has
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: already adapted to be able to prop the patients online.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: They're setting them blood pressure costs and all types of
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: tools to be able to test them and give them
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: the readings that they need in order to prepare them
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: for their deliveries. So we're adapting a lot. And so
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: if you're in contact with Dessignment and CARA Provider, you
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: can also find out ways that they can adapt in order.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: To be able to help you while maintaining social distancing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I love that. Now, do you have any last words
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: of wisdom for the hurdlers as I love to call them?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: So I think that what I want at number one
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: social distancing, social distancing, social business thing. I wish I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: did tattoo it on my chest as much as possible.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: If you follow me online, you noticed that I'm the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: running motif in all of my stories.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Is why social.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Distancing is so important, specifically because I'm looking at the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: results of Italy and quite honestly, I'm really scared. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the reason why is because I'm not necessarily scared about
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the effect of this virus on the majority.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Because we've seen some studies eighty percent of the people who.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Get this virus you don't even need the requirement or
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: assistance of medical providers. But in that small percentage of
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: people who do need assistance, specifically, the five percent who
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: will be critically ill.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Those are the people who will present.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: To the hospital all at the same time and cause detrimental,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: severe affection on the healthcare system. So social distancing is
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: so important. Number two, making the story that you take
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: care of yourself. Making sure you set time limits on
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: your phone. I've learned how to do it already in
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: my setting to make sure that I can. My phone
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: reminds me after an hour and a half on social
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: media that I should take a break. It also silences
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: all notifications for my social media. It's something that I've
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: been practicing. I've picked up new things like calling people
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: which I don't often do, reading and writing so that
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I figure out a plan and keep myself calm.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And then number three, realizing that this will pass.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: People have to understand that anything that is happening in
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: our economy, these things are relatively transient and they will
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: also pass. We just have to figure out what steps
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: we can do right now to help.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And that is on the.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I love your advice about taking time to read and
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: write things down. It's something that you know we all
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: say constantly. Man, I'd love more time to do X
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: or Y and it's yeah, this is the time, this
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: is the time. How many times would someone have said, Man,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: I wish I could have just had one more day
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: at home this week. Well, you have to day. So
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: let's let's try to be kind to ourselves and have
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: some grace and just accept that this is how it
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: is now, you know.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely well.
