Seriously. I don’t get the toilet paper! People say you can’t eat gold. Well you sure as heck can’t eat toilet paper. If people need that much, they should buy a darn proctologist.

LOL. Or at least a portable bidet. Actually, I was not surprised—every prepper list I ever read said it was among items that disappeared fast, and also good to stock up for barter purposes.
Marcella used to save all her old phone books under the bathroom sinks just in case she ran out of toilet paper.LOL
Sleep. The guy at med cram has a bunch of studies showing that one of the most effective things is a good night’s sleep.
So he’s apparently taking the Melatonin to assist in going to sleep. It’s sold over the counter for people who have sleep problems and is not supposed to be addictive.
From what I read it’s supposed to take effect after about 20 minutes—must be something like the big turkey dinner at Thanksgiving. LOL
OK. I did see that about sleep, however I didn’t make the melatonin connection. Jack works wonders too. ;-)
I made a not of those supplements. Right now I’m taking Sambucus immunity gummies. They taste really good.
Ha. I like some Jack now and then, about once a year. Too hard on the liver otherwise.
I also like to take some Jack and Bailey’s Irish crème 50/50 float a little cream on top, give it a stir, and drink it neat.
Wonderful after eating too much turkey dinner. Soon, your tummy no longer feels full.

RACIST CHINA
Chinese propaganda turned against foreigners, and now racism is on the rise
the title is a bit misleading. Chinese have always been open about racism towards white ‘monkeys’ aka ‘losers back home’ and black people. They’ve been brainwashed that all civilizations are beneath China. It’s the same attitude displayed in our own countries when angry auntie and angry uncles push past you with ‘that look’. A running joke is that they can harass foreigners all they wanted in China, and when they went to the foreigner’s countries, they’d find a way to sue them to get their money, too. The comment yesterday, that Australia was ‘gum on the shoe’ of China, and that America ‘was lying through their teeth’ came from that general attitude.
PRICE-GOUGING Sacramento Kings
Sacramento Kings charging California $500K per month to use arena as hospital
An arena belongs fully within the scope of that private business.
Except when it’s time to build a new arena. Then, taxpayers should pay some of the costs.
OFFICE TELEMED
Putting off check-up over virus fear? Try the self-service doctor’s office
The patient goes inside a cabin the size of a large wardrobe, sits down, and talks to a real-life doctor over a video link while using sensors inside the cabin to take their own temperature, or check their blood pressure, oxygen saturation levels, and heart rate.
The set-up has been on the market for the past three years but has seen a surge of interest since the new coronavirus outbreak, according to H4D, the French company that created the device.
FOOD CHAIN
Coronavirus: Grocery Stores Limiting Meat Purchases Over Concerns Of A Shortage
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Safeway announced Wednesday that it would start limiting how many meat products customers could buy, not because they were experiencing a lack of supply, but because they’re concerned that a possible shortage could cause panic buying... they started limiting the sale of beef steaks, roasts and ground beef — four per person, per visit.
Considering Sacramento taxpayers kicked in $255 million to build the arena, they should be able to use it for free any time they want...
exactly - and that was the second one we built - the first one not being fancy enough or something like that

Hope coronavirus can be killed by mosquito spray as UK military starts testing
“Citriodiol is known to have anti-viral properties and has been used as a barrier against the SARS 1 virus.
“Its utility for protecting against COVID-19 is therefore being explored by the Ministry of Defence as an additional protective measure for personnel working on the response.”
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) at Porton Down has been tasked with conducting studies to provide further evidence as part of the probe, they added.

‘Please, go outside’: Dr. Bonnie Henry says COVID-19 much less likely to spread outdoors
The chance of catching COVID-19 from someone coughing as they walk past you in a park is “infinitesimally small,” B.C.’s provincial health officer said Wednesday.
During her daily briefing on the pandemic, Dr. Bonnie Henry said people should still feel comfortable spending time outside, as long as they stick with members of their household and keep a two-metre distance from others.
CALIFORNIA/San Diego
Wednesday’s news was mixed. Just as the county’s stay-home order was set to expire (on April 30), officials announced it will be extended indefinitely. But they also indicated the possibility of easing restrictions at parks and other recreational sites, after allowing some access to beaches.
Then the evening brought a curve ball: A leaked memo revealed that Gov. Gavin Newsom likely will order all beaches and state parks closed starting Friday.

Hydroxychloroquine Has about 90 Percent Chance of Helping COVID-19 Patients
In a letter to Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) presents a frequently updated table of studies that report results of treating COVID-19 with the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ, Plaquenil®).
To date, the total number of reported patients treated with HCQ, with or without zinc and the widely used antibiotic azithromycin, is 2,333, writes AAPS, in observational data from China, France, South Korea, Algeria, and the U.S. Of these, 2,137 or 91.6 percent improved clinically. There were 63 deaths, all but 11 in a single retrospective report from the Veterans Administration where the patients were severely ill.
The antiviral properties of these drugs have been studied since 2003. Particularly when combined with zinc, they hinder viral entry into cells and inhibit replication. They may also prevent overreaction by the immune system, which causes the cytokine storm responsible for much of the damage in severe cases, explains AAPS. HCQ is often very helpful in treating autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Additional benefits shown in some studies, AAPS states, is to decrease the number of days when a patient is contagious, reduce the need for ventilators, and shorten the time to clinical recovery. ...snip...

It seems that certain factions want to prohibit effective treatments such as HCQ etc and fresh air and sunshine
