There is actually a genetic mutation that makes one very sensitive to meds because the body hyper absorbs them.
The people who have this have to often take small amounts of children’s dose of medicine.
Do you happen to know if there is a name for that mutation? I nearly died during a biopsy after getting an injection of lidocaine. It happened a second time during a dental procedure which is when I made the connection on that one.
Doctors keep throwing drugs at me but I have to be so careful because how I react to the drugs are sometimes worse than the original problem. It’s very frustrating
I’ll try to find out.
I know the website to look on.
Quarantine isn’t worth it to save one life.
Everyone should stay at home for the rest of their life to keep one person who didn’t
take the right things to build up their immune system from dying?
Why not force all to stay at home cause of every other disease that could be caught?
A Dr. friend told me one can be allergic to a binder in a pill. A few years ago I picked up a different brand of Vit. C and it really pasted me - the sickest I’ve been in the last 10 years...
All this sort of material seems to be going out of stock. :-(
No way the number of COVID-19 deaths is off by a factor of 6, or even two. And the ONLY valid comparison would be to use estimated flu deaths that add up to around 61k for 2017-2018 (for example), and use the same y-axis for both diseases — the COVID-19 cases “fit”, and the flu mortalities should be scaled properly too. It is freshman high school math at most.
COVID-19 is bad enough - no need to make flim flam comparisons to justify the flu bros.
Agreed.
That’s not a bad point.
“The message is being carefully crafted to avoid public panic.”
Agreed. And also to prevent a run on masks where the hospital workers need them more.
“Avoid public panic ...” reminds me of the old alien flicks and how does the government release the information?
,,, New Zealand still exists, for better or worse. Just recorded our second death in NZL, a 92 year old woman. The other death was a woman of senior years too. Getting things done around the house that I usually haven’t got enough time to do. Autumn weather is great here. Community spirit is evident and people are connecting by conversations from across streets and face time on computers. Supermarkets are open so we have enough Moa beer to carry us through.
I said to my kids a few days ago that I’ve lived through the golden age... not drafted to any wars, no Great Depression or anything like that and they realised the brevity of where we’re placed right now. I avoided mention of what I strongly suspect this crisis is - bio-terrorism.
I believe you. :-)
Some of the recent posts on FR have been so weird from folks who were not prepared and now have freaked out.
It is some sort of collective nervous breakdown.
We have great community spirit in my area as well—but these are rural folks who always prepare for any unusual event.
,,, community “intactness” will be our new measure for things being OK as the economy slides. Pumpkins, eggs and all sorts of goodies have been left at our gate and baking and other stuff has left our house for other gates over the last two weeks. We’re in a small town of 20,000 or so, including outer villages.
