[No Politics] What you need to know about CoVID-19 by SARS-CoV-2 [No Politics]

[PierreV]

What works for me is keeping myself occupied with various projects (being a former PM in IT/Banking) be it garden/boat/audio/IT.
Spouse working @ Ministry of Health and Social Affairs with some distinguished MD’s and professors we’ve been taking daily doses of vitamin D, zinc & magnesium for years as advised by her colleagues.

Yeah, for you guys in Nordic countries that is that, or gorge on cod liver oil. I know what I would choose in that case as well

My plan for tomorrow is better: since the sun is shining bright and thanks to climate change we are already experiencing summer temperatures, we have planned a bbq with the children. Since they no longer live at home we will keep a safe distance but there is plenty of space in the garden. And this one for PierreV: wine.

Yeah, in addition to my D3 and zinc, I'm also taking magnesium, after reading that almost half of Americans don’t get enough magnesium from their diets. It's even harder to get enough when one really only needs to consume about 1,600 calories per day to maintain weight.

Interesting, my plan for today and tomorrow is to get outside since the sun is going to be shining bright, and thanks to climate change, we are forecast to be experiencing near record low May temps for the next few days!

There are some images from the autopsies that perhaps conscientized...

Currently if I call the doctor with possible COVID19 symptoms he'll maybe get me tested for it. Or not. If positive, he'll propose staying at home and doing nothing unless you start having more severe problems.

There is at least a credible hint having D3 levels higher goes along with less severity. There is at least a credible hint that pepcid may lessen severity. The effective risk of either of those is zero. The relative cost is negligible.

If 6 months from now they've determined D3 and pepcid to be helpful they'd start telling people to take those if they contract the disease. This is hardly like suggesting someone take a malaria drug which isn't readily available and has real risks using it. That would only make sense if the benefit has been determined, and it is administered by a doctor.

So proposing unproven treatment might not be helpful (there is a little chance at least that it is helpful), but since there is no known helpful treatment at all, and there is no harm I don't see the problem.

Mentally it good to feel your doing what you can to help yourself, if there's no other reason that's reason enough to keep your vitamin levels up.

Helps you feel in control.

I'm getting shafted by building companies cutting rates by a margin many more times the rate at which house prices ' might ' fall and stopping production so they keep that house price as high as possible.

I don't need vitamins, lube and some painkillers yes.

I am frequently in Alabama, where my company has an office and 1 million sq ft. factory. The Governor has relaxed the lock down but the lag time to new cases was less than I expected. As long as less than 10% of our workforce dies we'll be fine. /s

 

[Willem]

That is a sobering graph.

 

[Thomas savage]

I need more of the work force to die , less of the nice old folks ..

 

[SIY]

That is a sobering graph.

In ways perhaps not intended.

 

[Thomas savage]

That is a sobering graph.

As expected though, it's these asystematic carriers that can't be taken for granted.

It is important to wear eye protection - such as clear glasses (zero diopter)

My next project will be learning Spanish ... ;-)

Seems not enough with English, German, French & some Swahili. When in school long time ago we all had to learn two foreign languages apart from English. Swahili came later in life. Spanish it is then ...

 

[RayDunzl]

Spanish it is then ...

You mean, el Español...

Or is it la?

You are offering advice beyond your remit, and mine, too.

Actually I wasn't offering advice. It was originally posted as a question. There were some reports of studies about pepcid, and vitamin D. I asked was there anything I missed. The intent, which apparently didn't come across being, is there some other substance that has a credible chance of helping I've not noticed in the coverage of CODID 19?
