Dr. Lynn Fynn was interviewed on ‘The Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz’ last week. Interesting episode - she was going through the differences between Delta/Omicron & treatments.
HCQ, if you are going to treat Omicron early, is more effective than Ivermectin.
What is putting people in the hospital regarding Omicron .... people will get through the initial Omicron just fine, but at about day 9, after feeling they are/have recovered, they’ll start feeling crappy again & spike a fever. This is the start of bacterial pneumonia, an opportunistic infection after Omicron. If you go to the doctor/hospital and tell them you’re had COVID, but now having issues again, they immediately go into “COVID” mode and give people steroids, which does nothing for a bacterial infection. Even worse, sometimes they want to give Remdesivir which is totally not appropriate. By the time they finish screwing around with the steroids & a couple of days have gone by, then you really DO have pneumonia, severe enough to end up in the hospital with it. A course of azithromycin or another antibiotic right away takes care of the problem, but that’s not what is often happening.
Both of my brothers were sick with Omicron beginning week before last, so they’ve been warned about the potential for bacterial pneumonia. One is past that point & ok I think .... the other one still needs to be cautious.
Good info. Thanks.
IMHO the best defense against pneumonia is daily exercise which keeps lungs strong. With lots of oxygen moving in and out of lungs, bacteria have a hard time building a condo in the lungs. Just my humble opinion. I am about to burn 82 candles, and have not even had a cold in 15+ years, and I exercise daily, just a non-strenuous fast walk on treadmill with wrist weights for 20 minutes, followed by 30 pulls of light weights on the weight machine. I began this routine at age 75 after quitting golf. Before that it was 4 to 5 rounds of golf every week.
