Serious question. As the -19 strain mutations happen shouldn’t the mortality rate lessen?
With this and the pneumonia season being in full swing is full filtration respiratory protection, via 1/2 mask or full face needed while exposed to high volume close contacts with people?
I ask, as I’m still traveling and soon will have no choice but to travel by air. When it was the middle of summer it looked as though this would run its course before winter, but here we all are.
the mortality rate has already dropped quite a bit. In regard to flying i don’t know your risk factors or overall health. I. do not personally believe masks help much but you will be required to wear one by the airline. sleep well eat well and take generally good care of yourself. reasonable amounts of vit d and zinc can’t hurt. beyond that you have to do anything you feel reasonable to protect your health it all comes down to individual decisions. Personally I am in a trip right now to seen family and had no qualms about flying but that’s me....

In mid=summer I was very concerned people were getting careless. Late summer or early fall I predicted at FR that the figure would be 1/4 to 1/2 million dead by the end of the year, and here we are. Whether Covid is primary or secondary cause, the fact is many hospitals are being overwhelmed. am 82, always interested in health and medicine and have never seen our hospitals in such a state. Meanwhile there has been no major public effort to educate people about the value of enhancing health with supplements and good nutrition. The value of ionphores like Quercerin (OTC), HCQ and Ivermectin _(prescription) to enable the virus killer Zinc to enter infected cells has been deliberately ignored. This despite the facts that zinc deficiency afflicts 1/3 the world population, and loss of taste and smell are zinc deficiency symptoms.

The first few articles have the information on prophylactic and early Covid treatment by Dr. Zelenko and others. Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) is having good results with hospitalized Covid casas.
