I don’t deal with zealots. See the video and shut up.

Yeah, it’s like someone is trying to convince the most vulnerable to take the least precaution. Very convenient.

Of all the things to fight in defense of, the right to not wear PPE is the hill they choose to die on? CRAZY!

[Black Agnes]

I already watched the video.

Are you going to be one of the ‘booger flicker at mask wearers’?

I fully expect you to forbid your surgeon to wear a mask should you need a surgical procedure.

Masks don’t work, remember?

Mandatory vaxxer you are then. You’ve had ample opportunity to deny this and yet you have yet to do so.

Every. single. time. flubros are mandatory vaxxers. But don’t you DARE ask them to wear a mask, they have rights!

[JayAr36]

Okay masked one I agree.

So society asking you to do non invasive, non permanent consideration is nazi

But sending the national guard to force vax people with an invasive medical procedure, or denying them jobs or access to transportation or banking is not nazi at all...

This is why we aren’t open like SK right now. This right here.

[Black Agnes]

I suspect, if we were to get a roll/directory of pics from that event, that the N95/filter mask wearing kiddos shadowed as many old fat grayhaired dudes as they could.

Just a suspicion mind you.

I find it interesting that at an antimask event it’s the KIDS that are wearing the masks...And the specific masks they are wearing only protect THEM, and NOT anyone else.

I gotta ask where they got those masks. Because I haven’t seen any like those for sale since mid January around these parts. Probably sooner actually, mid january we started to look for N95 or N99 masks and they were already gone here.

A lot of guys had N95/N100 masks laying around because we use them around the house for projects. Sanding drywall, woodworking, spraying paint, solvents or insecticide, working in the attic around fiberglass, etc. I wear an N95 when shopping. I’m cautious about who I interact with, so I’m not worried about infecting others. For a trip to costco I put on an N100.

Also, the MI protest was about opening businesses, not anti-mask. Of course it is beyond the protesters grasp that wearing masks would have given them more credibility that they were informed and serious. Instead they wanted to show off their weapons and tactical attire. They did nothing to advance their stated cause.

[PA Engineer]

I can't tell from the picture, however anyone with unhealthy central adiposity should not be hanging out in crowds, especially without a mask.

It is somewhat suspicious that a few of the young have N95s with valves.

[RummyChick]

in this very very long scientific article using Medcrams buzzwords...i scroll to get to the chase..in other words..give me a solution.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213231715000907

So your blood could go through this if you get Wuhan Flu.
The cut to the chase is:

Sounds like take some vitamins and perhaps plasma therapy

“In addition, several antioxidant enzymes (e.g. SOD, catalase) and molecules (e.g. GSH, vitamin E and C) function within RBCs to neutralise the different reactive oxygen species. These mechanisms play a role in reducing oxidative stress during normal erythropoiesis but are deregulated or overwhelmed in disease.

Protective mechanisms are also functioning in the circulation. Haptoglobin and haemopexin can scavenge free Hb and haeme respectively and are subsequently endocytosed by macrophages. However, in the case of increased haemolysis, haptoglobin and haemopexin become rapidly overwhelmed. Upon entering the cell, haeme drives the expression of HO-1, which is the rate limiting enzyme for the degradation of haeme, and ferritin, which takes up the released iron to prevent its oxidative reactions.”

[PA Engineer]

Maybe that symptom is related to kidney involvement?

Could be, however patients said it was the first symptom they had. That may indicate early onset symptoms prior to further systemic infection. Some have speculated these patients were infected via the nasal route crossing the BBB.

I think there is going to be a lot of neurology over the coming decades.

[RummyChick]

and for you Drs...here is something to consider if the blood is doing what happens with thalassemia:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23383265

"The present study aimed to investigate the role of glutathione efflux transporters, namely cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), in the control of glutathione levels and protection against oxidative challenges in beta thalassemia/Hb E erythrocytes. We found that CFTR protein was expressed in the erythrocytes of beta thalassemia/Hb E patients. Treatments with GlyH-101 (50 µM), a small molecule CFTR inhibitor, and MK571 (50 µM), an MRP1 inhibitor, reduced H(2)O(2)-induced free radical generation in the erythrocytes by ∼80% and 50%, respectively. Furthermore, combined treatment with GlyH-101 and MK571 completely abolished the induction of reactive oxygen radicals. "

the kidney involvement may be part of what is messing around with the vitamin D issue since it is responsible for dealing with it....

Nice find. So Trump became President at the start of 2017 and the Chinese ripped up the French agreement. Hmmmmm.......

Yes, pink eye is a symptom, as is eye pain.

Most common symptom I believe is lack of taste/smell.One warning on the eye pain - whatever is occurring to cause the pain in your eye can also cause a retina detachment. There have been a few cases of Covid reactions causing this problem. If you have any problems with your vision you need to go to your eye doctor or a retina specialist immediately. Every day matters with a retina detachment. If you cannot get into to see your regular eye doctor go directly to the retina specialist. Don’t delay seeing a retina specialist if your regular eye doctor can’t get you in. Your retina receives nutrients from your eye and not from the other direction, so if it is detached it starts to die. The difference between getting to a retina specialist on Friday versus Monday may likely be the difference in whether you have vision in that eye. From what I understand you pretty much have 48 hours max to get this fixed to have a good chance of your vision returning to normal. Every day after that is bad.

If you have any doubt, don’t take a chance and think it might get better on it’s own - get to the doctor and get it addressed quickly.
