Hm, I wonder if the nurse is still alive.
Don’t know how she is today. Haven’t read anything for a long while about her.
There was one woman who nursed her family at home in Africa who relied on donning plastic garbage bags and constant use of bleach. They made it through Ebola. This is very similar to keeping CV at bay.
Some Africans were whitewashing their homes with lime which is an antimicrobial. Wondering if anyone has done or would do a study on CV cases where their drinking water comes from limestone areas.
https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/gpm01 “Plants for the production of lime are currently operating in Bexar, Bosque, Burnet, Comal, Deaf Smith, Hill, Johnson, Nueces, and Travis counties.”
There are several hundred cases of CV in Bexar Co. (San Antonio and Travis Co. (Austin), Texas. Aside from the severe lack of testing, it seems they haven’t had the numbers as one would suspect. I don’t know how all the chemical manipulation the public water supply would eliminate lime but perhaps people with private wells in the rural areas would ingest lime and if that would help.
TX - CV cases in counties where there is a lime industry:
Bexar Co. (San Antonio) - 410
Bosque - 5
Burnet - 4
Comal (just north of San Antonio) - 15
Deaf Smith - 7
Hill - 5
Johnson (just south of Dallas/Ft. Worth) - 21
Nueces (Corpus Christi) - 53
Travis (Austin) - 502
