You need to send 8 more, plus the zinc and Azithromycin.

There is always BHT and one of it’s know characteristics is that is will disable most lipid covered viruses by removing it’s lipid cover and by doing so prevent such a virus from doing it’s dirty work. This ability was discovered over forty years ago and a patent was applied for it, February 05-1976 under patent number US4350707. It is highly effective against a variety of lipid covered viruses with some of them being animal as well as human viruses such as. CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and many strains of influenza.

These are just a few but not all of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be killed by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus and it so happens the corona virus also belongs to the family of lipid covered viruses. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat and address these infections individually, and there probably never will be as no money can be made, as amongst others the patent has expired.

Along here we may take it a step further. As such viruses enter the human body and encounter BHT most of them will be disabled without causing any further damage, however enough of such a damaged virus will remain to be detected by immune system of the human body which in turn may energize the human bodies own immune system to fight off any left over viruses or new comers in a process quite similar how some vaccines are produced artificially by utilizing deactivated viruses and hen injected into the human body to stimulate its own immune system.

We may conclude that BHT not only will kill such a virus, but as an added side benefit and in a roundabout way may also encourage the human body to set up its own defensive mechanism against whatever virus it just happen to kill.

In a southern Virginia town (Trump country) I asked a tree man about doing some cutting for me. He said he had work just sitting because he couldn’t get any workers because they were all happy with their %600 unemployment money. He was pixxed.

....The proposal suggests allowing states to choose between reducing the unemployment benefits to an 80% wage replacement rate or gradually reducing the extra benefits to — $500 per week in August, $400 per week in September, or $300 per week in October.

I'd prefer 60% wage replacement or $300/August, 0% September forward. That gives everyone a full month to get a job.

Yea, he can try reporting them following the links below, though his business sounds like more of a contract employee (1099), not full/parttime W2. So I don't know how that works for workers refusing to return, but he can at least get their names in the system for hopefully some kind of investigation...

No one is getting kicked off unemployment yet anyway. The EARLIST most peoples' jobs would have cut them was in mid-March (when the shutdowns/closings first started). Most of the States have 26 weeks of UI, there's maybe seven that offer fewer. So all those people can be on unemployment until September, assuming they sit on their couch and earn $0 the whole time, since any temp work just pushes their end-of-benefit date back. BUT, FedGov also passed the PUEC or something like that, which adds another 13 weeks of UI on the US taxpayer tab. So almost anyone on UI has benefits that end, at the earliest, the first week of December. The only thing being argued now is the helicopter $600, nothing else.

So your giving everyone a month to get a job isn't accurate, they have practically til the end of the year anyway, already.

If the Senate passes a simple bill like that and sends it to the House I don’t see how the House can reject it.

Why would they? Isn't that a total capitulation?

[saturn]

Lol, never thought of it like that. TRUMP buying the black vote, lol, shhhh don’t tell the communist.

On Reno & San Francisco TV stations a couple of days ago:

Hispanic (?) mom of 3—oldest 21— laid off from hotel housekeeping job due to virus.

Now iving with sister...all 4 in one bedroom...no rent...probably no utilities......

She gets $400 a week as her unemployment, which may represent 2/3 of her regular paycheck.

Add the #600 more bonus on top of that.

She was loudly complaining that the 4 of them COULD NOT LIVE ON ANYTHING LESS than that $1000 a WEEK....and she has very limited overhead.

I live near people who are on Soc Security & get less than $800 a MONTH.

She needs a complete revamp of her budget. She is spending FAR too much $$$ somewhere.

Politics. The Dems are asking for over $3 Trillion, most of it pork by accounts I’ve read. Meanwhile, 50 million Americans are held hostage to the negotiations. The GOP should hold firm, but, they are (as usual) fumbling the PR. All they need to do is stand tall for the American people.

This isn’t to say I am for unlimited UBI, but right now it is election season and a very difficult spot due to the way we’ve chosen to deal with the virus.

Below is the most sensible science article on Covid I have read recently. It proposes that the economy of US and world will not be safe until there is a broadly effective treatment for early Covid cases at all age levels. It emphasizes that ZINC is a critical nutrient and virus killer that works closely with HCQ and other ionophores. It describes zinc as the soldiers, and HCQ as the landing craft that moves the zinc where it will be useful. The article also recognizes that other nutrients may be useful such as Vitamins C and D3, E, and Quercetin. It says stop designing huge studies with new drugs and vaccines that will take forever first. Instead start studies using established drugs alone and in combination with natural items like minerals and vitamins. Also use them early if possible. It covers the early recognition that doctors had when experimenting with various option to treat the virus which led them to items like CH/HCQ as possible treatment. Such doctors as French doctors and American doctor Zelenko. This article is the best explanation I’ve seen of how zinc works as the primary virus fighter in Dr. Zelenkos 3 part protocol of HCQ, Azithromycine, and zinc. Perhaps the world would be a safer place if he had only written in this order: zinc, HCQ, Azithromycine. A further confusion is that the antibiotic Azithromycine is abbreviated as AZ, which some might think is an abbreviation for Zinc (Zn).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7202847/ The article’s title is: Does zinc supplementation enhance the clinical efficacy of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine to win today’s battle against against Covid-19?

Read it and weep for those who may be dying unnecessarily because the use of the key ingredient for success, zinc, seems to be repeatedly suppressed by those who mention HCQ alone even when they have been given the complete information.

The bad part of this "stimulus" is we will pay much more for it via interest-bearing debt.

The good part is it will keep liberals unemployed so they will have no gas money to go vote! lol.
