Wash your produce with Dawn dish detergent to make sure it is germ-free.

Ook, hadn’t thought about that.

People suck sometimes.

Wow. Good point. Hypertension actually is a very fatal underlying condition for covid19.

I dressed up. Shaved. Put on a nice shirt. A sport coat.

3 check points. Two temps. I breezed through. The nurse upstairs was surprised they did not call up. But, she said I looked like a doc.

Beats last Sunday when in Jeans and Sweat shirt I was stopped at every corner.

Looks like I was on to something. Think about it, if you have high blood pressure, you may well get heart attacks, strokes, or kidney failure - but until then, you’re perfectly normal (assuming not super high). So how the hell the hell is a tiny speck called Coronavirus supposed to measure your blood pressure and figure out that you’re a good target? It’s stuff like this that gets me angry as hell with our medical community...they just throw crap out without a second thought, and they’re so damn thick that they don’t even realize that some useless, conservative, FReeper can figure it out weeks ahead of them.

As it is, I cut my meds 50% (mainly to conserve supply) and my bp is right on the edge of the (old) upper limits 140/90 (probably a tiny bit over). With that and my (still) relatively young age, I’m not going to drop dead from anything related to blood pressure, but I’m also not dosing-up myself more than needed, just to leave myself open to be attacked by the virus.

Washington, Cali and New York are top testers.

That looks too weak to me. Especially for a one minute dip. Two teaspoons of 8% per gallon water ?

I would not be surprised to see the National Guard onsite at our facility by early next week.

When he said the public does not need N95 masks. If that is his position, we are at war. It is a lie.

Aren’t those vegetable disinfecting regimens intended to eradicate bacterial pathogens i.e. E. Coli, listeria, samonella, etc. Have they been shown effective against lipid-enclosed viruses? (Based on the typical sodium hypochlorite concentration).

Let me try to explain. This is “droplet transmission” not aerosol unless you are a doctor intubating a patient. So your risk of becoming ill by inhalation is almost zero. The way a mask works for the layman is it keeps his finger out of his nose. You can do that with a bandana. So Pence was not lying.

” As it is, I cut my meds 50% (mainly to conserve supply) and my bp is right on the edge of the (old) upper limits 140/90 (probably a tiny bit over). “

That whole sentence exactly the same as me lol.

Yea, they’ve dropped the ‘official’ targets somewhat to ‘get people into the system’ (as opposed to being based on any science). Reminds me of airbags over just seat belts, yea, airbags ‘sound’ better...but have any studies been done to see if they really make economic sense, or even if they help at all?

Another possibility is that one or more of the supplements I’ve been taking lowered it (NAC, monolaurin, others).

An Italian doctor showed me the protective gear he was allowed to wear. According to WHO guidelines, the CDC is now even more ridiculous. That same day he just attended a meeting where they learned 12 % of the infected in Lombardy at that time were medical. According to WHO they just needed wrap around. Not air tight goggles. Since then we have learned of many medical deaths. Look at what the Chinese medicals are wearing. Sealed goggles. Gloves. N95 plus face shield. So N95 alone is not enough for medical. Face shield mandatory. Without a face shield they will get it in two weeks heavy exposure is my guess. N95 is for the public in this disease case. Medical and front liners need N98 or N99 or N95 plus face shield.

They’re closed now.

Amazing what threatening liquor licenses does to light a fire.
