(NEXSTAR) – Warning signs that could signal a rise in COVID infections are appearing in parts of the U.S.
Wastewater testing, which can help detect the spread of a COVID in a community, has shown a significant uptick of the virus in several states. Testing sites in Montana and Florida are reporting “very high” levels of COVID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. Levels are “high” in wastewater across Alaska, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland and New Mexico.
Emergency room visits related to COVID-19 are also on the rise, the CDC says, spiking 12.6% in one week. The biggest jumps were seen last week in Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.

Give it a rest, CDC. Nobody believes your hype and imaginative forays any more.
COVID-19 was a badly mismanaged epidemic, with all the wrong steps taken to slow or stop transmission, and treatment of those who did contract the disease delayed either by denial of effective treatment in a timely manner, or ineffectual treatments being “recommended” for the good of all. Masks and social distancing proved to be little more than “virtue signaling”, with insignificant effect on control or spreading of the disease, and the most vulnerable were thrown together in nursing homes, the uninfected right along with the infected, and many ended up dying because of the failure to treat other underlying conditions. The populations of young people, least susceptible to the disease, were unnecessarily masked, and schools were shut down indiscriminately, with long-term effects to the quality of education that has not even yet been fully assessed, but a very distinct setback to the overall learning level. Thousands of commercial institutions like restaurants and small boutiques were shut down, some never to reopen, and the ripple effect spread up through the entire economy.
COVID, in and of itself, was never much worse than a bad cold, most of which are coronavirus infections themselves, and subject to a self-limit with at least temporary immunity for a period afterward.
And the “vaccine”, based on the mRNA particle, caused much of its own misery, creating conditions in the human body rarely seen elsewhere before the mass injections began, leading to long disabilities or even deadly results. And it did not necessarily confer immunity.
Not even committed Leftists get worked up about these “COVID surge” articles anymore.
There might very well still be a problem...
When was the last time you saw anything about nosocomial spread of the coof in the news?
If I’m right, then if you wanna lower your risk, steer clear of healthcare providers.
It still works as it did before!
ALTERNATIVE SAFE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR RESISTANCE UP & FIGHT COVID -19. AS WELL AS “VARIATIONS” AND A HOST OF OTHER INFECTIONS INCLUDING THE FLU. SO FAR, WHOEVER BEEN USING THIS REGIME, EITHER DID NOT CATCH THE BUG AND IF THEY DID; SHOOK IT OFF PRETTY QUICK.
THIS REGIME WILL “NOT” PREVENT YOU FROM CATCHING ANY CRAZY VIRUS BUT IF YOU DO, IT WILL HELP TO SHAKE IT OFF FAIRLY QUICK, FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS SO WELL THEY DON’T EVEN FEEL THEY GOT IT. BESIDES IT WILL ALSO WORK AGAINST OTHER RELATED VIRUSES; NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WILL BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH AS WELL, IF YOU CATCH THIS VIRUS OR NOT. EITHER WAY YOU WIN. ALONG WITH IT YOU WILL HAVE ACQUIRED NATURAL IMMUNITY WITHOUT ANY SHORT OR LONG TERM ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS.
There are other ways and means to enhance your resistance against viruses including that by now infamous covid-19 virus aside from taking any of these “Quick” developed vaccines utilizing a messenger RNA. So far science has not evolved far enough yet to be certain how the human body will react many month or years down the road once we start tinkering around with our immune system and how our bodies will react should we encounter mutated strains of similar viruses.
Below is a list of vitamins as well as nutrients SUGGESTED BY A PHYSICIAN to enhance your resistance, they are harmless and even beneficial to your body unless someone goes crazy and over doing it. Even so they will NOT protect you from getting any specific viruses; neither will any of those new “QUICK” developed vaccines. But not only will they make you more resistant but also help you to overcome the effects of such a virus more quickly, should you have bad luck getting it. And once you are over it, your natural immune system will take over and protect you considerably better than any vaccination, this according to a statement by Merck. The CATCH is to have these vitamins/nutrients in your system BEFORE you think you have caught this virus, as time is of essence so your system starts fighting the virus BEFORE it gets a chance to do any damage.
A suggestion to the wise, take some time and read up on each of these suggested components which is freely available on the internet.
Vitamin D-3 — Vitamin D supplements are readily available and one of the least expensive supplements on the market. All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections, and can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) — NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to one literature analysis,7 glutathione deficiency may actually be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conclude that NAC may be useful both for its prevention and treatment. For best results should always be taken with two to three times the amount of vitamin C. DO NOT GET IT MIXED UP WITH ACETYL L-CARNITINE. AS A REMINDER, DO NOT LEAVE OUT NAC AS IT IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS REGIME.
Zinc — Zinc plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections.
Like vitamin D, zinc helps regulate your immune function8 — and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine or quercetin, was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes.9 Importantly, zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune function.
Melatonin — Boosts immune function in a variety of ways and helps quell inflammation. Melatonin may also prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection by recharging glutathione11 and enhancing vitamin D synthesis, among other things.
Vitamin C — A number of studies have shown vitamin C can be very helpful in the treatment of viral illnesses, sepsis and ARDS,12 all of which are applicable to COVID-19. Its basic properties include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic and antiviral activities. At high doses, it actually acts as an antiviral drug, actively inactivating viruses. Vitamin C also works synergistically with quercetin.
Quercetin — Quercetin is the most abundant dietary flavonoid, found enriched in cranberry, onions, blueberry, apples, and tea. As a polyphenol compound, it is ALSO considered a potent iron chelator. A powerful immune booster and broad-spectrum antiviral, quercetin was initially found to provide broad-spectrum protection against SARS coronavirus in the aftermath of the 2003 SARS epidemic,14,15,16 and evidence suggests it may be useful for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 as well. Not only that but quercetin also acts as an ionophore for zinc similar to hydroxychloroquine, in a matter of speaking it will unlock the cells to let the zinc in where it can attack the virus . It is also a good pain killer and better for the human body than Aspirin, what helps to subdue arthritis pain. I is good for sinus infection, in other words if you happen to have a runny nose. Past studies have also shown that quercetin showed potent ability against some viruses, such as enterovirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
B vitamins — B vitamins can also influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including17 viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability.
LYSINE
When lysine blocks enzymes it inhibits the spread of the virus in the body by limiting the effect of weakening this connective tissue. An adult may take 2-3000 mg per day of lysine while trying to beat a virus.
SUGGESTED DOSAGE
All components as suggested are individually obtained and freely available and if used with some common sense are not harmful and if anything beneficial to your health. However it is a good idea and highly recommended to read up on each component, as there is plenty of information available on the internet. You may be surprised to find out and learn about the many benefits they provide to your health.
Here is a suggested approximate dosage for each.
Vitamin D-3 1500 IU
Malatonine 3mg to 6mg suggested about one hour before you go to sleep.
QUERCETIN 500 mg to 1000 mg
NAC 500 mg to 1000 mg (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)
Zinc 50 mg
Vitamin C 1500 mg or MORE !! but always should be to two three times as much as NAC
LYSINE
1500 mg to 3000mg
Vitamin B complex
So far whoever has been taking this regime of supplements and may have had a brush with this virus, shook it off fairly easily and quickly and the most important thing was that in the process such a person also acquired natural immunity. Not only that but at the same time this regime also helps to ease the effects of the regular flu.

Good post.
I have been on that same vitamin regimen since April 2020 along with approx 25 friends/family members. All of us socially active...restaurants, church, weddings, travel, etc. In other words, we’ve not changed our lives the past year. Not a one of us has tested positive and not a one has even had a cold. I’ve added hydroxychloroquine 200mg each Sunday starting about 6 mos ago.

Excellent regimen. Pretty much what I’ve been doing. I have been taking 5000 iu of Vit D3 per day for years and have never been sick (thank you Lord). With the China Virus, I upped it to 10,000 iu. I think zinc and quercetin are the most important.

Been on similar regimens since August of 2020. Attended parties public events even a professional football game. Oh, and I fall in the high-risk category. Also posted recently about hearing friends and associates who’ve taken the jab complain about the after effects. Also note that my position would not recommend that I take this experimental vaccine.

My Doc put myself and EVERY patient he had on Quercetin, C, D3, Zinc, and NAC from day one he has not had ONE SINGLE patient catch this virus, I also put my 92 year old mom on it I NEVER miss a day!! My mom had a small stroke about 4 months ago neither of us vaccinated I had to take her to emergency and was worried because hospitals are an absolute petrie dish of germs we both spent 4 days in the hospital no masks in room AND we both came home just fine this supplement regimen works!!!

NAC is fabulous. I was suffering what I thought was Bronchitas for about two weeks. Might have been covid. Anyway a neighbor gave me a bottle and said to take two in morning and two at night. In one day Bronchitas was gone.

I have done this supplement regiment with my wife for two years now, going into our third soon. We are as ethnically different as it gets but we have flown 8 times and never missed a happy hour that was convenient, dined out constantly, visited family and lived our lives as normally as possible, perhaps even moreso.
I’ve had three bouts of illness impacting my ears and sinus, but I have a condition that makes that a normal event. It actually occurred less than normal than in the previous 20 years.We did not vaccinate for personal reasons. I credit blessings and the regiment of supplements in helping us avoid the chicom plague and pray it continues to do so.

When I got Covid, my doctor immediately put me on 10,000 IU’s of D3 per day even though I was already taking 5,000 per day. He also recommended NAC. I had never heard of NAC before he recommended it and he only recommended it because I have a bit of an issue with chronic bronchitis. Bought some NAC and have been taking it ever since. That stuff works PERIOD. I think that is why the FDA is bullying a lot of retailers (including Amazon) with fines and the such. So the retailer pulled the NAC from their shelves. Sad, because I really believe the reason the FDA is pulling it is because it WORKS!

I’m on all those except lysine.
My teacher wife has been sick three times this fall. I haven’t been sick once.

About 14 years ago when the H-1 N-1 pig, bird & Human flu made its rounds and the question for vaccination came up, someone on FR suggested to take N-acetyl-cysteine which should be taken with at least two times as much vitamin C instead of getting any shots. I have been using it ever since, with excellent results as it will boost your level of glutathione which in turn makes you more resistant to a variety of infections. If used in combination with some of the suggested supplements as suggested in this article it works even better.
From https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download of Performance Characteristics on page 40.
...Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen.
It’s the CDC, they are the equivalent of Pravda in the old Soviet Union or CNN in the USA today. You know they are lying but to what extent.
Apologies to the science is still our god freepers for daring to question one of their saintly science organizations.
They NEVER give up!
More BS.
At this point Covid is nuisance and nothing more. Given the frequency of mutation there are probably thousands upon thousands of variants out there and all less than the original.
More idiot fear mongering and unnecessary hysteria over something no worse than the common cold now.
we now know the treatments of this and can use it effectually .
(From the article):" Warning signs that could signal a rise in COVID infections are appearing in parts of the U.S."
"Wastewater testing, which can help detect the spread of a COVID in a community, has shown a significant uptick of the virus in several states.
Testing sites in Montana and Florida are reporting “very high” levels of COVID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.
Levels are “high” in wastewater across Alaska, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland and New Mexico."
" Emergency room visits related to COVID-19 are also on the rise, the CDC says, spiking 12.6% in one week.
The biggest jumps were seen last week in Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia."
There was an article today in the Seattle paper where our hospital room visits for people with Covid has TRIPLED since the end of April. TRIPLED!!! OMG!!!!!
.
.
.
.
It had gone from 0.5% of all cases to 1.5%.
I’m not going to get the paper - but I believe it said people WITH covid - which may not have been the reason why they were at the hospital.
Might as well quote from the funny papers...
And what are the chances that any of the news articles mention the fact that most of the people getting bad cases of covid are VAXXED?
Which is the case. And having Ivermectin on hand is the sane thing to do.
Very few people care anymore!!! 🛑
It’s over!
BTTT
Interesting.
A lot of “summer colds” here in Iowa, but since the vid funding ran out everyone is coming to work.
The single most criminal thing I believe our government health agencies (CDC, NIH, etc.) have done in the past 4 years is fail to warn about the importance of maintaining good Vitamin D3 levels. This has resulted in the deaths of many more dark skinned people in this country than light skinned people. Excess deaths were early noted among African Americans, and Native Americans. In spring of 2020, Fauci was asked if Vitamins D and C would help. He said no. By fall he had to admit that Vitamin D3 was of value.
Eaach year it has been pointed out that Covid cases rise in late summer/early fall, and again in mid winter. Many now know that lack of sun exposure in winter leads to reduced body Vitamin D levels. What has been minimally pointed out is that wherever it is hot, like the south, people spend more time indoors in the AC and in more crowded groups. Our government should be warning everyone to have their Vitamin D levels checked and take Vitamin D3 supplements if they do not get enough sun exposure year round.
I was surprised and pleased when Kaiser Permanente started checking blood vitamin D levels 3 winters ago. I had already started taking D3 supplements summer of 2020 with higher doses in winter. When checked by KP in Dec. 2021, my D levels were optimum. In Dec. 2020 after a fall of worrying about 3 family members with cancer, and nervous nibbling, I had gained weight, and my tested D levels were “insufficient”. A week later I read an article posted by ConservativeMind saying a BMI level above 25 caused D to settle into fat rather than circulate in blood where it could help the immune system. The following week my partner, recovering from prostate cancer, brought home an infection from babysitting his sick grandson. We both had horrible bronchitis like coughs for 3 1/2 months. I immediately upped our Vitamin D intake and I went on a low carb diet (successfully, lost 30 lbs.) as my BMI level was 27.5. That fall we were again sick for a month, also after he babysat the sick child. The following winter blood Vitamin D levels were well above the optimum so I reduced my intake. I have been in improving health ever since. At age 85 I am again mowing my large lawn with a gas, walk behind (and sometimes push) mower.
Saintgermaine: Thanks for the detailed article. You turned me on to NAC which I had not heard about so added it to my daily supplement intake.
Look for valuable information by Dr. Robert Cathcart (Google his name), who has treated more than 10,000 people successfully with high doses of Vitamin C. He says even healthy people should take 4 grams a day at about 6 hour intervals. I typically take 6 or 7 grams, and have for 50 years for respiratory allergies. On 2 occasions during the Covid years, after a social event, my nose has started running like a faucet. I immediately started taking one or 2 grams of C every few hours. After 24 hours and 12 to 14 grams of C, this symptom was gone and I was completely well. I suspect it was Covid. The illness caught from the grandson probably was not Covid or RSV as the child was tested for those, and did not include the heavily running nose. I had been prone to annual bronchitis in the 1900s, but none this century, until my weight got away from me, and I came down with the grandson’s bug.
Tell your Congresscritters to urge the government to tell people about the need for extra Vitamin D if they do not get sufficient sun exposure. Don’t let more people die of Covid this summer. It will be a scorcher, and many will live inside with AC and NO SUN. Of course, in Winter extra Vitamin D will be needed in most of the country.
