That’s been discussed on the gardening threads, the prepping threads and these threads too.

Just try to find a deep freeze, bread machine or many other small appliances now.

We have one dose of toci left in pharmacy. No access to remdisivir. Told IL-6 inhibitors becoming unobtainable. 400 bed non-academic hospital. No clinical trials in hospital. Others experience? We have many hovering cytokine storm. Many will die until these drugs are available. I strongly think these will be shown to be efficacious with due science. Is it best to be admitted to an academic center if you’re really sick with COVID-19 until the research is completed? I’m beginning to think so. Food for thought.

more comments..and one I think very important if I have to go to a hospital in this time frame...go to an academic hospital


I do believe it is best to be admitted to an academic hospital based on what you said. I don’t believe this is fair but it is the sad reality. One thing to consider is some of the inclusion/exclusion criteria for these studies. A few of the criteria that I am aware of for the remdesivir study is no other concurrent treatment(no HCQ, IL 6 inhibit is), a positive test in the last 4 days, etc.


I do not think it is anemia. I think the virus messes with the rbcs ability to oxygenate. Which is also one of the theories behind hydroxychloroquine helping due to its effect on the porphyrin stuff in rbcs.

I might even consider drawing a couple of units off and transfusing a couple of healthy units. What can you lose?


Only thing that disputes this. Their Po2 is damn low. and correlates with O2 sat. i.e. no “rogue COVID-Hgb” species. But who the hell knows. Damn thing is not natural. WUHAN.


Spoke with Genentech rep. They are shipping toci on case by case basis. We have one dose. 2 pts teetering on storm. Haven’t pulled trigger. No access to sirulimab here.

nice collection of harvested links, too bad they are mostly strawmen.

“Previously, (hat tip to grey_whiskers)
posted the original medical articles explaining how a corona virus was modified,
intentionally, and that is could also jump from bats to humans”

yeah, I posted the same studies, several times. Intentional modification of a sars cousin was accomplished. About all they learned from that 2015 experiment, as shown in your first 7 links, was the hypothetical possibility of natural recombination maybe somewhere sometime somehow, and that the Mers spike had five turn-on points and two-turn off points. Big whoop.

But what does that have to do, how is it relevant at all, with any USA involvement in the current 2019 outbreak?

Are you claiming Australian and Japanese and Israeli scientists are wrong and the current pandemic is the exact same artificial virus? Because if you’re not, all the links are immaterial nonsense to the ONLY SUBJECT - where did the virus originate and why did China hide it?

England set up a level 4 lab in Sierra Leone in 2015 to study Ebola. Since then, there’s been outbreaks of Ebola and Lassa. Let’s start a conspiracy they came from the Sierra Leone lab! That’s the kind of fantastical jump subversives expect 15yo’ds to swallow hook line and sinker.

Did the theft from the Canadian lab have anything to do with Canada being complicit with the current pandemic? How is it, in any way, associated? So why is a tangent drawn?

you might also want to look at the CBC reporting you list. The conspiracy theories born of that story have been flamed by CBC themselves -
Jan 2020:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/china-coronavirus-online-chatter-conspiracy-1.5442376

I’ve already asked you why you include known propaganda site, greatgameindia

When a propaganda site is set up for the lols, they tell you they’re doing it. This one tells you in their name. Look up ‘the great game’. The political definition, not Sherlock Holmes. As I said before, you might also want to do a ‘who is’ on the website itself.

your listserve link is sorta interesting in a blah blah blah strawman sort of way. #4 starts off with a title ‘recent’ then references something 5 years ago. Not really ‘recent’ is it? #3 is pretty weird, too. Going back 10 years. Are admittedly controversial claims, ten years prior, science?

the silverdoctor link, which draws on the justice dept link, has nothing to do with US involvement either. The current pandemic is not caused by a nanoelectric device. So why is it relevant to the current pandemic? More strawmen.

the justice dept link does show that the US not only watches its scientists, but busts them too, whether they be spies, liars or thieves. What do stealing military technology, income tax evasion, and cancer cell samples have to do with this pandemic? Another strawman.

Who are these idiots determined to try to draw any tangent they can think of to implicate the US in the current pandemic? But none of the innuendos hold water.

I’m still waiting for any glimmer of proof amongst all the shiney squirrel objects being thrown out, that the pandemic is a direct and irretrievable result of USA research. That poor little China is only partly to blame - they’re just a victim of the big bad USA. Because that is what is being claimed, directly or indirectly.

I call bullshit. It’s a china virus, born and bred in China, and no cancer cells in socks, or nanotech, or artificial pseudo-anything 10 years or 5 years ago has jack flippin’ sprat to do with the current pandemic. Or with any US involvement in said pandemic.

China is not a victim. China owns this. And they own how they acted in the same lying, conniving way I’ve ALWAYS described them.

oh, and STephen M? Wasn’t he that idiot that claimed there was a nuke device on some ship a few years ago and then denied he started the whole thing? The failed Irish actor anti-Semite, woman-hating, parent-hating Nazi living off patreon donations from 14yo’ds? That one? Pleasseee. child. Please.

“Ortiz helped himself over the course of four days to the restaurant’s food, liquor, and beer,” New Haven police said in an Instagram post. “In addition to eating and drinking at the restaurant, Ortiz removed beverages and property from the building.”

Ortiz was arrested and charged with burglary, larceny, criminal mischief, and failure to appear in court for a separate warrant issued in East Haven, Connecticut. Ortiz was held overnight by New Haven police on $12,500 bail and arraigned in New Haven Superior Court on April 15.

I’ve read some scary, scary stuff in this thread, but that is by far the scariest thing of all!

End Times. That’s it. Proof.

So - this article with new research says Covid-19 needs 200 F at 15 minutes to be destroyed! Talk about moving the goal posts. For the last month I have just been putting the mail into a box or the car trunk with an ozone generator.

Thanks for the link. I don't have an active subscription to the service, so only the abstract lead was visible.

Those high fiber vegetarian diets are likely to be low in zinc as well. Another facet of the problem.

Anecdotal personal experience: taking at least a gram of vitamin C daily results in all "5" evaluations of my gums when probed by the dentists. In prior years I had not been as consistent with my vitamin C intake and had some 3 or 4 spots that were slightly tender when probed. Gum disease and vitamin C deficiency appear related.

I wish they’d do some research on situations that regular people are likely to see.

For one example: in a car items could be at 100 degrees for 10 hours.

I'd like to read the actual paper. I have seen journalist reports on it, but nothing else.

They described continued replication of the RNA? There is no RNA replication without a host.

I remain convinced the original MERs study of viral inactivation was the most sound. 65C at 15minutes. Stanford did not use corona virus (nor give credit to the authors of the MERs paper) and concluded that 70C at 30 minutes was adequate for inactivation.

I just don't know about the latest reported finding. Too many obvious errors in the reporting.
