Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

Yeah, but like the saying goes, “it takes two to tango”.

Or maybe, “Never argue with an idiot. Bystanders often can’t tell who’s who.”.

I just get amazed sometimes at what people will get all worked up about. You say the sky’s blue, and someone will just have to “correct” you that it’s not, at least not when it’s overcast/night/whatever. And everyone gets their panties in a twist, and they just Will Not Let It Go.

:person_facepalming:

That's a good one.

I hadn't heard that before.

FWIW

The Mayo Clinic has taken legal action against companies that make Colloidal Silver remedies and claim they are good for the health or can cure ailments. According to the Mayo Clinic, research indicates Colloidal Silver can actually be unsafe and cause possible damage to the bodies organs. Once ingested, it never leaves the body. Medical research indicates there are no antibacterial or virus disrupting actions in the human body due to ingesting Colloidal Silver.

He says, They say. All the same, research and monies are expended for a reason… As for me, I’ll err on the side of the Mayo Clinic and refrain. (as advised by my Nurse and Doctor) [ As an aside, my Aunt was an RN for 50 years, my brother is an LVN and so is my wife, there is no shortage of people around me telling me what is best for me, they at least know me and most of my medical history and even then I don’t listen to everything any of them say. :wink: ]

Too bad the Mayo Clinic doesn't take legal action against pharmaceutical companies then if they are so concerned about people's health.

Wellp, “medical science” once thought that attaching leeches to people to “let out the heat from the veins” to reduce fever, and drilling holes in peoples’ skulls ’til they looked like a wiffleball to “let out evil spirits”, were Good Things.

Uhh, no thanks.

And if the Mayo Clinic claims “Medical research indicates there are no antibacterial or virus disrupting actions in the human body due to ingesting Colloidal Silver.”, then they’re FOS. We know the exact mechanism how it works.

NCCIH disagrees with the effectiveness and safety of Colloidal Silver.

They were not meant to be hospitals. The press is just talking bs like usual.
They are quarantine centers meant to stop the virus from spreading.
And unless they are killing ppl in there, it’s something totally normal. People are not cared in there like in hospitals, they mostly just sit and wait until they get better or die. Same thing they would do at home, except there are contained and can’t infect others.

I saw this on today's news about the Wuhan coronavirus:

"New study finds incubation period of up to 24 days."

That is not good news.

A lot of people are only being watched for 14 days, not 24.

what works for one person might not work for another , or so they say

i say ,if it works for you ,then there is no halm doing it

i know whiskey or cognac works for me when i have flu, but only a nip or 2

also marmite on toast helps with my flus and cold . full of vitamin b all of the Bs .b1 b2 all the way to B12 . or atleast something like that

plenty of warm lemon-orange-ginger drinks

i rarely get flu or cold or i just dont suffer with them, but last week i was fluey on monday and tuesday. wednesday i was able to go back to work(manualy lifting stuff work)
had a few marmite toasts. few lemsip type drinks, panadol, ibuprohen. 1 zinc drink

i wouldnt even say my diet was brilliant, but we eat quite good food. quite fresh stuff and some packaged rubbish on our cheat days

i think its also down to genetics on how we recover

my dad is never ill

My wife told me about reading that this morning. What that means is after 5 or 6 weeks after being infected you either die or are better. Very scary. So for 3 or 4 weeks you spread the plague with no symptoms. Just like a horror movie. Movie horror is fine. Real life horror just stinks.

I read a comment a few days ago about someone theorizing about this. I hope it's not true, but it could make sense since Xi himself never seems to say anything positive yet.

im just waiting for the people to say its man made and a biological war!

Yeah right, as if that hasn't crossed just about everyone's mind since the outbreak! History shows a long trail of man made viruses leaking out one way or another.

This virus is not suitable for biological warfare.
For that you want something that kills fast and has a high mortality rate

^ good to know, then hopefully this virus runs it's course.

counterproductive to release the pathogen amidst one’s own
Countrymen?

But then I’ve always wondered what we are capable of.

If it was a biological weapon, would it not make sense to have
Controlled experiments, contained, and far from population centers.

Instead, they have a pandemic, spreading out in waves, like an
Approaching tsunami, heading towards US. Uncontrolled.

Keep your thongs on. Run

PS Still looking for that bottle of colloidal silver. Did you know that
Denmark banned marmite ( too much vitamins ). Thought you said marmots.

I think also norway banned it , something about fortified vitamins getting put in also

It is also banned from school-meals in Wales, due to the high salt content.

But the silver lining is: UK is leaving EC. As Albus Dumbledore would say: let the feast begin.
With Marmite, Vegemite, Oxo, Bonox, Bovril, and other so called “shelf-stable foods”.

Warfare takes different forms. And many existing weapons could be said to be ‘not suitable’. Don’t underestimate the insanity of mankind.

I do not have reason to believe it is an escaped (or deliberately released) bio-weapon. But I cannot rule it out.

Glad you are healthy as your forefathers’ genes, @forsh. Gotta be, you are near
The Arctic?

Ran into a Finn once in Sweden. Nice chap. Friendly, but somehow different
From the other Scandinavians.

(Funny, he was telling the same jokes about Swedes that the Swedes
was telling about Finns.)

Continue to be well, my friend. We don’t know what’s going to hit us.

All we need, a fricking pandemic. “Fake Wuhanvirus” ?
