Thanks for the link. From there I downloaded the pdf. (Crazy long link address.)
There is much there to think about, but also some odd wording. The use of “reinoculate” and “reinoculation” would certainly confuse most lay persons. I mentally substitute “added infection” for the latter, for example.
In that vein, I suspect that once one is successfully infected by COVID-19, a non-valved mask (even a surgical mask) will reduce spewing of droplets toward others, but, it also increases one’s own infection, therefor one’s own risk, as viral load has a large bearing on the disease severity. (OTOH, if all exposed susceptible tissues are badly infected, then additional viral load from outside the body probably ceases to be a factor.)
If one knows they are infected, and does not have multiple co-morbidities, isolating to fresh / warm / humid air in hopefully a sunny place outdoors, and NO MASK, appears to be the best bet, along with the treatments suggested.
So, if I get COVID, get all the meds and head toward a little frequented fishing resort in the Southern US?
I suppose more practical would be to set up a negative pressure “fresh air room” with a 4000w garage heater to help keep it warm. (20 amp 240vac feed needed. I have an extra heater on hand.) In our situation tho’, that leaves my wife bunking with our teenage daughter. Uh-huh. For weeks? Might end up running a 20 amp 220vac feed out to our pop-up camper & mount the heater appropriately. (The camper has a heater, but no insulation, and what with the fresh air coming in, in cool or cold weather, no way the camper’s heater could keep up.)
Best case would be to get COVID in early summer before the bugs get bad*, and go camping locally.
*My luck would probably be to get past COVID-19 just fine, and then get put away like “Delenn” (Mira Furlan) by West Nile Virus!)
Somebody send that link to the Governor and AJ...
Many sources of information suggest the main place of viral transmission occurs in the home.
(My experience with other respiratory viruses agrees with that statement.)
Yet virtually no one is educating the public appropriately.
