The Cajun has been around the block, several times. Empirical evidence in the aggregate over decades has significant meaning in spite of absence of data tables.

We actually have the seniors who were part of the "early sexual revolution" (1960 - 1963) now on Medicare. So ... is it their HT ... or is it that they had a number of partners and smoked early in life .. or divorced and had yet another partner after reaching menopause?

Unecumbered by data, I'd vote for the latter. When your immune system has beaten the virus down, I'd think you're not (very) infectious. So the middle aged divorcee at an art exhibit would be theoretically less dangerous than the weed smoking twenty-something at a toga party.

Actually, I misread. You had three alternatives. So it's not the "latter" -- it's the "number of partners and smoked" part.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
