Quercetin

Amazon has that in bulk powder. I have no idea why I bought it. It makes a mess and stains so it is in a cabinet somewhere

I liken it to those who think that just because Y2K wasn’t a big deal, that companies overreacted, when in fact that “overreaction” was why Y2K wasn’t a big deal.

So, that journal was written ten years ago. Do you think if it were effective that the folks in Italy would be using it?

Exactly. People who think Y2K was nothing, are either young or worked in non technical jobs.

There are two methods that doctors are using to treat this virus. The one I gave from that journal is one of them.

Probably mentioned in this thread already but Q is find in elderberry, et. al.

The highest concentrations of quercetin are found in berries and onions. Elderberries, of all the berries, are very rich in quercetin, but blueberries—and all other berries—also contain substantial amounts of quercetin. ... People with high quercetin intake have a 60 percent reduction in lung-cancer death rates.

I have no problem with the legal use of force by those elected or appointed to yield such force. I do have a problem with the illegal use of force by those that would self-appoint themselves into illegal positions of authority.

I would expect those that are in legal positions of authority would protect the populace from those in an illegal position of authority.

Is this too much to expect in a society governed by the rule of law?

I think the issue is you are not completely aware of who can impose restrictions, and who is allowed to enforce them.

That fat little old nurse who is your county health commissioner is now the most powerful person in your world. LOL. Who knew?

I got sick of reviewing code for two years.

Ended up being at work that evening. One system hiccuped, a minor problem.

Snuck a bottle of beer in and drank it at mid-night.

I went to college with mine health commissioner.

[Vermont Lt]

Then you know how bossy they can be. Ha ha.

[PA Engineer]

It was just a wake up link. I don't argue with people logically who have not arrived at their position illogically. Helps to show them the probability it will be them.

They can keep denying with defense mechanisms such as comorbidity, they have yet to realize Italy has triaged people with underlying disease and age. They will get oxygen and that is it.

[9YearLurker]

There’s been no evidence of it actually doubling in infections in less than 3 days. These numbers right now are mostly a function of the extreme undertesting here getting less extreme—and so making the growth greater.

Still, exponential increases are significant and startling.

[Black Agnes]

yargh, teach me to do 2 things at once.

MY health commissioner.

I do actually speak English.

Most of the time.
