I’m awaiting a test of co-worker. Hopefully find out something in a day or two. Sent home early yesterday with instructions to wipe down our offices and go home. MUCH international travel exposure in our office.
Self isolating alone at home until we have news.
Sucks, but no gf time this weekend. Wish she was here but no way do I risk exposing her. Current temp is 99.5 and no symptoms.
This gets real when this happens to you personally as opposed to merely reading of others =o/
Sheesh, sorry to hear that. I think it’s around all of us at this point. Please keep us updated.
That’s no fun- hoping you have the best outcome. I expect it’s in more places than we know.
Good luck.
god speed.
Maybe the its only flu people will STFU.
Start whatever protocol you believe in...but i highly recommend liposomal c...at least regular vitamin c.
You have my prayers if you want them.
Keep the line open here, we’re on your side.
Thanks to RummyChick elsewhere on this thread...
I recommend you speak to your gf about this, SheepWhisperer.

The Corona-virus is tearing it’s way across the world, and it is truly much worse than “they” are letting on. Is a big deal and I am afraid it may become a MUCH bigger deal.
You need to go to the store and buy one of these: Pepcid, Tagamet, Adix, or Zantac.
Buy enough for you, xxxxx, xxx, and whoever you want to save, enough last 2 weeks.
This covers your H2 antagonist drug.
Buy enough Prilosec, Prevacid. or Nexium to do the same as above.
This covers the PPI Drugs. (Proton Pump Inhibitors)
Lastly, I’d buy a big ass bottle of benadryl or generic benadry. aka... diphenhydramine.
This covers your need for a H1 antagonist.
You know what benadryl does. But the H2 drugs work in the same way except on different histamines. The PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) stops monocytes from going into overdrive. (Monocytes = White Blood Cells)
The Coronavirus hits in a similar way to the flu. As it is a “Novel Virus” meaning the body has never seen anything like this... the body goes nuts, to the point that your own immune system kills you in something called a Cytokine Storm.
This is very similar to a “Peanut Allergy”, in that it’s the bodies response that damages the person not the peanuts.
When to start this “therapy”? No need to take anything in advance. But at the first sign of “flu like symptoms” I’d start therapy. Take it as directed on the box.

Rummy I *think* it was you, but on an earlier thread they talked about a specific blood-pressure med (prescription) which affected the ACE2 receptors; but if you didn’t take that prescription, to take 15,000 IU vitamin D instead.
Also...any word on what N-Acetyl Cysteine does for cytokine storm? Either alone, or in conjunction with any of the above?
