the problem with corticosteroids is, they can promote fungal growth, such as thrush in COPD users of inhaled corticosteroids.

COVID-19 and Fungal Superinfections: The Deadly, Perfect Storm

“In contrast to COVID-19, much is known about invasive aspergillosis. This infection is caused by microscopic Aspergillus spores, which are typically present in the air we breathe. Aspergillus spores do not cause infection in people who are otherwise healthy with functioning immune systems. However, people who, for example, are severely immunocompromised as a result of cancer treatment or immunosuppressive medications can become seriously ill after breathing in this dangerous fungal pathogen, with mortality rates ranging from 40 to 90 percent even after treatment with existing antifungal therapies.
Physicians on the frontlines managing severe COVID-19 infections are now sounding the alarm that their patients are also at significant risk for developing the deadly superinfection, invasive aspergillosis. Originally reported in China and France, anecdotal reports of this infection in patients with severe COVID-19 are now appearing on social media from physicians in New York, California, Washington, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. In one study from France, one third of ICU patients with COVID-19 also had invasive aspergillosis. “

You are being conditioned to see the unselfish people as selfish.

Yeah “Karen” is racist.
Period.

So are ‘blonde jokes’.

But that’s “good “ racism...
‘Good racism’ being what the media find sells product.

I tried this black seed oil today. It doesnt taste as nasty as liposomal C. I could down it and not want to gag. I saw where you can put it in oatmeal I have taken two doses today. It seemed to help with a breathing issue I have been having. It is a highly ranked brand but if you can make it yourself you would definitely be better off.

Not that brave.
But I did buy the Energen-C with D and Zinc.
Sounds good to me. So many reports.

I just looked in the mirror and freaked all the way out for a second. I have a really blood shot looking eye. Add one kind of looking covid toe (mild) and the breathing problem I am having ...and well..please God no.

The only way I would have caught this is as follows....(SO REMAIN VIGILANT)

I forgot to put my goggles down when I got out of the car on the 6th at the Atm after someone had just driven off.

Packages that I open outside with gloves and wipe off product outside with alcohol wipes

OR
more likely neighbors running bicyling talking on the phone and to each other as they walk closer than 6 feet to me as I am in the yard. We have a lot of wind so it could carry.

I am kicking into high gear with all my remedies.. I dont really think I have it but this dypsnea has lasted longer than I usually have it. Usually its just a few hours. This has been going on for days. Very Mild.

Don’t let your guard down if you are an at risk person. This isn’t over with no matter how many people say they want to go without a mask

Thank God I ordered that liposomal Glutathione. Should be here Monday.

I have always thought Congressional Reps and Senators should be forced to live in their district/state year round. Make them live among the people they represent, rather than be constantly showered with gifts and attention from K Street. DC is corrupt to the core, and anyone who spends time there will soon be corrupted.

LOL!
Yeah, that should be $30,000 instead of 300,000 LOL!

Otherwise it’s in the ballpark.

What to think of this I don’t know. But it’s something that will be considered.

since they’ve changed the rules to work remotely, they need to change their pay rate and perk allowance accordingly.
A 50% reduction seems reasonable enough.

Thst depends upon the value the organization is receiving, not just upon what the employee experiences,

In some cases an off-plant employee may be worth more!

darn, I was about to call SS and ask them where my 300K was- but I’d be happy with 30K :)

Seriously tho, seems to me what answers the offing old people argument, is, what about any long-term disabilities CCPVirus (acquired kidney/heart/lung disease) and Kawasaki syndrome (acquired heart disease) may cause. Is that going to inflate the SS Disability roles maybe just as much as any elder lives lost and for much longer? So maybe no savings after all?

I think the average in yearly SS pay is in the high 20s.

Just something I’d like to see discusssd before the media gets ahold of it.

Yeah, long term affects matter. We don’t know enough about that.
