COVID-19

Everthing you can do to reduce the viral load helps. Masks helps with that.

Girlie - Were you taking the ceftin when your husband got sick?

OOPs I stand corrected. Citric Acid does not have the vit-c. So will be ordering up absorbic acid.

That's what is great about this site, they correct me when I go off on one of my tangents!!!

THANKS

I think in part China got a handle on it because they had military out making sure everyone was sticking to the quarantine.
we let people self isolate - and just look at those young people partying - I doubt that would happen in China. Theyd dissolve that in no time.

We have to many freedoms when it comes to this. Theres strip clubs in Vegas arguing their services are needed. No doubt taking a militaristic approach is what controlled Chinas problems. My wifes work (defense industry) has floor workers who have been diagnosed. They were told to stay open by the government though as they have deadlines. They probably have never hit a deadline by 6 months 2-3 weeks isnt going to kill their deadline.

I’m wondering if any of the other anti malarials would be as effective....mepron, Malarone etc
Apparently there is now a huge shortage of Plaquenil so what good is it if you can’t get it?

I am also one who gets irritated when I come across articles that say "masks don't work". I know they want to drive down demand for masks when there is a shortage, but wouldn't it be better to make the argument "masks don't work as well as you might think" instead?

Keeping the trust of the public is very important. I think the loss of trust is what's driving most of the irrational behavior in reaction to this crisis.

Just look at how are the faces of the gov. authorities in America and in Europe on press conferences. Now look at this press video to see how the china authorities give their announcements to press and public:

I wonder that too. My husband was eyeing up my almost full Mepron bottle - it’s prob expired now - I don’t know how long it lasts.

Yup - our prime minister and premiere of our province are not wearing masks when the do their talks.

In fact - we keep being told that masks won’t protect us.
Huh? What the **** ?

There aren't enough masks plain and simple. Hospitals don't have enough masks so how can anyone say everyone else should be wearing masks. Its unfortunate but a reality.

Cignet: "I am bleaching my shoes every time I come in from inside. I wash my hands with bleach, I do not touch any surfaces without a paper towel, of which I have several for each very brief excursion outside. I live in a city, beside a bus stop... Morons here are still not giving a wide berth but no less I really am not too worried. "

I am not bleaching my shoes, but they stay at the front door and I don't touch them again until I go out... IDK - maybe I should bleach them....
I did do the car...but, again...can't get everything ...our seats are cloth... I did do the seatbelt, the gear shift, steering wheel....etc.

Clothes that were worn outside get dumped into the washing machine right away.

After my last outing to the grocery store, I did disinfect all cupboard and door knobs.

I guess I'll do it all again when we go for groceries in a few days.

IDK - I think it may not be worth the time....I really can't disinfect EVERYTHING I may be touching..right? The shower door, the tv remote, the computer keypad, my iPhone, the bedding (including our duvet) the list is endless.
The food at the store has been touched by the employee and also other customers....so that has to be wiped down when you get home, too.

It's worrisome for sure.

Is she on a ventilator?

She got cortisone from the first doctor that is supposed to be pretty bad to get when you have this.
As she just got there I havent heard that much if she will get a ventilator or not.

Dont you have delivery to where you live?
We still have a lot of food but we have a delivery on Thursday.
They will deliver to our floor and I will just ask him to knock on our door when he is finished loading it off.

We have a station for our shoes and I use 1 one time glove every time when we leave the apartment. I have my keys in a 1 liter plastic bag, where I only touch my keys with the glove. Only use the stairs even when we live a few levels up. Its impossible to reduce all the risk, but as virus load is so important I think we are doing the best we can when we still go out for walks every day. I might buy surgical masks later to to use when only go for daily walks. I save my fpp3 masks for when I need to go somewhere with more risk.

I know that the best thing now is to care of you health and do the best things you can do.
But I feel like **** that crap for the moment. Drinking way more wine that needed tonight..................
When a lot of companies has to shut down now both me and my girlfriend is thinking about starting a company.
I started a company last year around IT work but I think I will change it to be about lifestyle changes to get better health

I have understood about this since middle of Jan and I hope so much that I what I think will happen next wont happen
You can learn from other countries. I hope that the undestanding how you treat this will increase a lot. In China antivirals where used a lot but I dont see that they used that it in early patients in Europe.
.
We had our first lesson that was streamed in school today. I think it worked very well.

A very important thing in all this is to still talk to people.
I will have lunches/after works with a friend in another country and we just decided to have webcam chats with a group in my class during breaks and lunches.

I have 2 streams in coaching where I can make money, 1 in health and another is about work in a certain area. I would love to expand more in coaching later. Its very few that had so many coaching sessions that I had.

My neighbor has been coughing. I've been exposed to something, not sure if it was COVID-19.

I had a little bit of a sore throat and itchy eyes, but now it went away. I've been taking mepron.

Does mepron work as an anti-viral? I don't know, maybe. I've also been taking a zinc ionophore (valproate).

Hi everyone, I’ve been busy still working, I’m cleaning an elementary school at the moment so I’m sure I’m surrounded by tons of germs but luckily I’m on the Cowden Protocol so I’m hoping I’ll be ok. I added in Takuna which is an antiviral tincture. I have heard that Cistus tea is also great to knock out viruses so I plan to order more if that as well. The virus is pretty terrifying. Months ago some of my fifth grade students were telling me that the virus came Delma bat, I thought they were kidding but sure enough it came from a bat which bite a chicken. I guess the infected chicken was ate by a human causing this whole epidemic to occur! One question I have is since this is an enterally new virus to humans how do we know it won’t flare back up once it’s in your body? I’n thinking of viruses like HSV, EBV... are they sure that after two weeks you’re immune to it? I’m praying this is truly the case. Has anyone with Lyme gotten sick yet? Hoping all of you are staying healthy!

I did ask the nurse on our covid 'hotline' today - If my husband has it now...and if I were to get it - would we end up reinfecting each other back and forth.... she said no, my husband should be developing antibodies to it.
Hoping she is right.
I am still asymptomatic. Husband has now been symptom free for 3 days.

The nurse on the covid hotline said 10 days we have to be careful. (they used to say 14)
