Are we getting supplies though. I thought most of that stuff came from China. I seem to remember it being said that was one reason the non emergent care was being delayed, not enough antibiotics/heparin/etc in the stockpile/pipeline. Not enough PPE to do the emergent stuff (with PPE normally used there) and the non emergent stuff as well.
I was never under the impression it was related to the outbreak itself directly.
Interesting.
I take A once or twice a week because I take the D3 and K2 and they’re all best friends.
oh and btw, the Vitamin A and Zinc thing helps with my tube dysfunction....so that poster was right about that.
Hmmmm.
I accepted the narrative that electives were put off to allow for increased covid cases.
But you have an awfully persuasive point.
I’d bet that we’ve plenty of supplies without China now.
Supplies from who?
China made most of them for the entire planet.
And the other countries that *might* do it are shut down or need them for their own people.
IF surgeries are opening back up for non emergent care that means either it’s ‘lip service’ or they’ve got a stockpile from somewhere. I’d love to know the real story here.
i’d always assumed the lockdowns were because we didn’t have supplies for a population of normally sick people PLUS the infected from the virus. Stuff like regular surgical masks/gowns/gloves, medications, etc.
And until testing was in place that really WORKED it was to keep one asymptomatic nurse or doctor from infecting dozens of people (happened in China, Japan, SK, Italy, etc) and creating a huge outbreak cluster.
Weirdness, maybe, but I am interested in perspective treatments...

Chlorine dioxide treatment.
You’ve heard we have a President named Trump haven’t you?
That’s why I expect China’s hold on our supplies has been addressed by now.
Do we really WANT supplies from China at this point?
I don’t, that’s for sure.
Thought you’d loke this...

“”When controlling for age, sex, and comorbidity, Vitamin D status is strongly associated with COVID-19 mortality.” “
“Jobless claims surge to more than 30 million — here’s what to watch”
I really think this, along with SNP’s related to D3 metabolism among other things, is why LA and SoCal haven’t been a complete crap show with this thing. Ditto Florida and points south of I-40 at this point.
Even walking to your car or getting your mail, if done at midday, will get gratuitous D3 production.
Iceland may get it from their diet, Sweden as well.
Let’s just hope it’s also associated with morbidity issues as well, like sterility, kidney damage, heart damage, neurological damage, etc.
The leakage is where contact tracking comes in. Either an asyie is in the household of a symptomatic or the infection came from x,y, or z outside source. We track back until we find the now-symptomatic or the asyie. With an end goal of quarantining the asyies, and starving the virus of victims. This will only work until we open the airports and allow int’l travel. And will only work if all 184 nations do it at the same time.
But maybe we already have a sort of herd immunity? I’d like to see a further study that zeros in on blood types, treatments used, and outcomes. An example from the blood-type article I posted yesterday: Ganges River Basin. Cholera. Type-O more succeptible. They die. Very few type-0’s left in the GRB. Otoh, in Nigeria, Type-A is more succeptable to malaria. Over 50% of Nigeria’s population is Type-0. The type A’s die off.
Now that is true ‘population immunity’. On that line of thought, given that a malarial drug is being used with some great success in some areas and not so great in others, how many mild cases/severe cases, are, type O? How many asyies are Type O? Can blood type be useful to identifying new vulnerable groups beyond age-grouping? Or be useful in tailoring treatments?

“... have a sort of herd immunity? I’d like to see a further study that zeros in on blood types, treatments used, and outcomes. “
I’d love to see out health care workers looked at for this.
Ignorant on this subject, I admit.
What’s wrong with the Vit D added to milk products that that doesn’t suffice?
Report from outside...
Trip to Dollar General.
Had new sneeze guard for the cashier.
Plenty of everything but only the cheap TP.
No gossip of cases in area.
Sister in Virginia goes up and down 9 flights of stairs to avoid people getting in the elevator when she’s in it. Rule is one person at a time but people disregard.
Governor has said people in multi-home buildings not wearing masks will be arrested. She’s glad. Son going to live with her. That is good basically. Just hope they can both stay free and not infect each other somehow.
Va’s nutcase=liberal Governor is following a VERY conservative covid response.
So, good news for your sister.
WAY too little D3. You’d have to drink gallons to get the amount you need.
Also, IIRC in some milks it’s D2 (plant vitamin D, you’re not a broccoli are you?).
Read up on D3/K2 (you need to take K2 if you take D3. and you NEEEEEEED to talk to your doc before you take K2 because it might interfere with INR)
Type O+ here.
Had resistant malaria as a child.
No cholera thankfully.
NICARAGUA - where on earth is Daniel Ortega?
Mexico City (CNN)Over the past month, world leaders have been to the forefront, rallying their nations to battle the spread of coronavirus. But there’s been one notable exception — President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who has not been seen in public for over 40 days.
The last time the 74-year-old leader was seen in person was during a televised military event on February 21. He was seen virtually on March 12, when he participated in an online conference call with heads of state from Central America’s System of Integration (SICA) to discuss the pandemic.
Meanwhile, Nicaragua has come under fire for its casual approach to the crisis. The border, public schools and universities remain open and the strict preventative measures seen in neighboring countries are not in place.
The government has not imposed any rules to enforce social distancing, though some in Nicaragua have taken it upon themselves to self-quarantine and otherwise avoid spreading the virus...
