Dr. Morrow’s Show Notes

Coronavirus Update

Hydroxychloroquine has been shown not to be effective and in some cases harmful in Covid-19.
Patients are often much worse in the second week of the disease.
Total cases have started to plateau in the US, but with social distancing waning somewhat and states opening up, we will definitely see a bump in cases.
The healthcare system has been spared the overwhelming push that would have made all of this dramatically worse.
Masks:
- Wear one anytime in public.
- They protect others from you.
- 44% of people in a NY study who had NO symptoms were found to be positive for having the disease at the time they had no symptoms.

Antibody Tests:
- There are three antibodies that are tested for in most of these tests.
  - IgA, a respiratory antibody.
    - One that is produced in response to a respiratory infection. As opposed to a stomach bug or what people insist on calling a “stomach flu”, even though that does not exist.
  - IgM
    - one that you produce acutely as you are in the midst of an active infection.
  - IgG
    - One you make that is at the end of an infection and the one that lasts the longest, giving you some degree of immunity to an infection you have already had.

- IgA and IgM can cross react with the coronaviruses that cause the common cold, mainly 229E and OC43.

- IgG is specific for the type of virus that caused a particular infection, such as SARS-CoV-2.

- So, if you get the antibody test, you are looking for a positive IgG antibody to know if you were infected with or exposed to this novel coronavirus.

- We presume that this infers some degree of immunity but we really are not certain of that yet.

- ACE inhibitors and ARBs: stay on them if you take them. They could actually benefit you

- Aspirin: stay on it

- Allergy meds: stay on them; Covid-19 does not cause sneezing. Period.

“Plandemic” video: so many people sent this to me.
- It is complete bunk.
- You need to understand that scientists are accustomed to saying “I don’t know”
  - but the public is accustomed to us having all the answers.
- For the past 75 years, when it comes to infections and public health issues,
  - the public has come to expect medicine to know what’s what.
- But this is a totally new virus.
  - It’s like the time of Louis Pasteur when scientists did not know everything,
  - or hardly anything compared to today.
- Information that I learned two weeks ago is being proven wrong this week.
- Social media and the public’s access to information of all kinds,
  - most of it unproven,
  - is making it difficult to sort out fact from fiction.
- People have a need to believe something,
  - so when they see someone who sounds knowledgeable,
  - they want to believe it.
  - When it gives them an answer they want to believe it.
  - Well, don’t believe one word in that video. Not one.

Stress in a Pandemic

Outbreaks can be stressful

- The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be stressful for people.
  - Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children.
Coping with stress in a pandemic will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.
Stress in a pandemic can include
- Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones
- Changes in sleep or eating patterns
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Worsening of chronic health problems
- Worsening of mental health conditions
- Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs
Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations
- How you respond to the outbreak can depend on
  - your background,
  - the things that make you different from other people,
  - and the community you live in.

In this episode of Culture Crush Rx, Deb is joined by Heidi Jannenga, co-founder and president of WebPT, and Andy Maurer, a licensed therapist with the Phoenix Counseling Collective. Andy introduces the concept of trauma-informed leadership and how our past experiences can influence how we work, while Heidi shares valuable insights about cultivating a culture where employees feel valued, nurtured and safe to be who they are. It’s a conversation every leader who wants to show up with more positive impact will definitely want to hear.

Andy Maurer is an associate level licensed therapist at The Phoenix Counseling Collective, which is a group of counselors and consultants who are rooted in the city of Phoenix and committed to walking alongside others to know their story, come face to face with their humanity, and grow as persons. Their hope is that as therapists and individuals work together that individuals will live life more deeply, experience greater freedom, and make choices that authentically connect with how they were made. To do this, this practice helps individuals uncover the connections between where they have been and today’s struggles, unpack the impact of the past and current relationships, and explore your engagement with the divine.

Andy speaks to and trains founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business leaders, equipping and educating them on the issue of trauma and its impact on their work and relationships.

Deeply integrated into the startup and entrepreneur community, Andy is seeking to create a movement where mental health issues, and especially trauma, is talked about and addressed so that founders and CEOs, as well as the individuals they lead, can receive the resources and support they need, in order to heal and transform their stories, relationships, and companies.

As a licensed trauma therapist Andy works primarily with founders, CEO’s, business leaders, adults, and couples who have experienced trauma or abuse. Having previously been a college professor, he taught courses on marriage, family, and sport psychology. He earned both a Master of Divinity in Professional Counseling from Phoenix Seminary and a Masters in Marital Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary.

With our special guest Co-Host, Mike Jones

It’s Mike Jones‘ mission to see brands grow and succeed – to reach their full potential. He believes every brand, like every person, has DNA that’s remarkable, but not every brand knows how to act like it (and communicate it to the world). It’s not about what’s trendy, whatever consumers are demanding, or whatever will turn the fastest profit. It’s about the long game – building real relationships with your customers and your community.
