  2. Before Covid-19, the cost per pill was under 25 cents in the US. It has since risen, but is an order less expensive than other proposed treatments. The key is to administer the treatment that, also involves a derivative of Zinc, before the virus amplifies to large numbers. A study that came to a different conclusion to the efficacy of the Chloroquine treatment tested different conditions than the original study. Choroquine will not help you if you already have Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

    Me? I got a simpler explanation - Trump and his buddies are sitting on millions of doses of a useless drug so they are using Demon Sperm crackpots to sell them off before the party ends in November. They very well know that it doesn't work or they would have flooded the country with it and Cain would still be alive.

  5. There can be a positive immunological response to stress, such as low levels of radiation or even getting infected with a virus from time to time. However, significant chronic stress, such as significant smoking, weakens the immune system. Smoking for years reduces lung capacity, at least temporariy, and can be reasonably be considered as a negative underlying condition when infected with Covid.

    My scientist friend who has good working knowledge of chemistry researched the Chloroquine treatment and took it himself twice, in spite of it being possibly being contraindicated due to his previous diet related heart arrhythmia.

    There are hundreds of chemicals in a cig, it adds a lot to an already complex system. Remember you don't necessarily want a strong immune system as this gone into a C-storm destroys the lungs.

    You are correct about radiation, there is a sweet spot.

    I take HCL for my knee and I have had arrhythmia issues with it on a very small dose. This took fine tuning. Though I have four stents due to scarring caused by explosions 20 years back, the arrhythmia was surprising.

    The majority of older people have deficiencies in minerals, just take your centrum, lose weight (quit excess sugar) and on symptom onset take the steroids and antibiotics.

  8. Hydration and electrolyte balance is particularly important with fighting a Covid-19 infection. Sodium, potassium, lots of water, and easy to digest foods are the way to go if infected with Covid. My scientist friend lost a lot of weight on a calorie restricted diet. A measured 900 calories was all he allowed himself for something like two months. His height is about 6’0” I warned him when he started his diet about potential heart problems. He took my words to heart(Sorry) after he started to have problems. Sodium and particularly potassium salts helped him.

    After near 30 years around hospices I have seen so many people convinced xyz was making a difference but I long ago saw that beyond certain genetic factors, its mostly random chance. Factors you are not aware of.

    I'm about 10 percent body fat now mostly as I'm hoping this will help, I have someone particularly vulnerable to take care of but it probably won't matter at all. It may bounce right off me, I may have already had it in January, might make me really ill. You can't prepare past a certain point.

    I was watching a Netflix documentary on speed cube solvers today and spotted a guy who worked for me as a software developer in the background. I sent him a message and he replied "a good thing you messaged, I've gone almost completely deaf from Covid" he is about 35 and very fit, lots if mountain biking. Also he has tinnitus now, that sucks.

  10. Do you think the seemingly ambiguous US policy on Covid-19 is related to “We don’t want to panic economically critical consumer spending” versus “We’ve got to stop this thing at all costs”?
    Actually, is it more like “Maybe if we ignore it, it will go away”?

    Who knows, maybe Corona is nature’s way of revolting against Trump! Late October Democrat political ads are going to be a sledgehammer.
