I didn’t think you’d comprehend it.

For anyone else, preferably with a GED or above, look up “zinc ionophore”.

What impact have masks on teachers had on the hearing disabled students that must rely on lip-reading?

You should include the impact of mask wearing on severely hearing disabled folks that must rely on lip-reading.

Here...you can listen for yourself, straight from the Dr who designed the protocol...

#ZelenkoProtocol

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko Treats Covid-19 With Hydroxychloroquine & Zinc - Dose Of Dr. Drew

https://youtu.be/3ywj-PZTt4g

Dr Z explains how the HCQ is the ‘gun’ and the zinc is the ‘bullet’ that kills the virus. The azithromycin is added to prevent secondary infection....AND it also has antiviral properties, of it’s own.

I was waiting in line at Chipotle yesterday. In front of me were a father and mother, both very fat, and their young child. They were very careful about standing precisely on the marked spots on the floor and they gleefully pointed out the social distancing requirements to their daughter. They actually seemed very excited by the whole thing. I was laughing at them to myself when the fat mother with warts on her face turned to me and said, “Excuse me, Sir, but your mask is not entirely covering your nose.” I ignored her so she complained to the Chipotle worker, who asked me to pull it up, at which point I complied. I felt like saying to her, “Hey, bitch, I know you’re at severe risk from this because you’re grossly overweight and likely have heart problems and diabetes. Stay the hell home and let the rest of us live our lives!” I didn’t because the little girl was there. It actually sickens me that there are so many people like that in this country - and they get to vote!

Many deaths (before this bug ever came around) are from a virus that weakens the body’s resources and opens the door for bacterial infections...add the fact that comorbidity seems to be a huge factor and I wouldn’t be so quick to condemn the concept.

“We know that the virus itself isn’t usually what directly causes the sicknesses, but that the virus opens up the body to other infections that are more easily treated. “

What the hell is he talking about?

HIV?

I have a National Merit Scholar in the family. So thousands of erudite and peer reviewed articles are false news based on your hurt feelings?

How much clearer can it be? The two particular antibiotics (not any others) help eliminate the virus. Nothing to do with coresident bacteria. Why do other antibiotics not work if it is a bacterial thing?

. There was just a subgroup of hydroxychloroquine patients that also got azithromycin in combination, there was actually only 6 patients. However, at study days 6—remember that was the primary end point that they were looking at—all 6 of those patients had cleared the virus from their nasopharyngeal sample again, so they've eradicated the virus, compared to 8 out of 14 or 57% of those who are on hydroxychloroquine alone.

That Zorrococco guy is an empiricist, not a theoretician.

I thought the mask-wearing addiction/fad/craze would die off as the temperature rose into the 90s and 100s, but although it has died down out here in "the sticks" (despite Nancy Pelosi's nephew's emotional rantings and protestations), face diaper-wearing remains extremely popular -- and I do mean extremely -- among the many more timid and acquescient souls who live in the SF Bay Area and in smaller college towns throughout the state who remain frightened to the point of irrationality over the Chinese germs.

Interesting.

You start out by being a Free Republic jerk to the author of a very good opinion article.

Someone rightly calls you out for being a jerk, so then you're a jerk to him or her.

Then, that person asks you to stop posting to them, so you double and triple down on being a jerk.

I think I would advise both kiryandil and jfd1776 to hit the Abuse button on you.

BTW - The Jerk Store called.

They're all out of you. You might want to touch base with them... ;-)

Yes the face shield is still a physical barrier but being able to see faces is a dramatic advantage.
