Re: More on the virus

It's just one more thing to consider Jreboll. I was always amazed, when we lived in Nayarit, the number of people who had NEVER had their air conditioner's serviced. It is very important to have it cleaned, disinfected (tubing) and serviced annually.
All the other things you mentioned are "in your face" stupid things for people to be doing right now.

So 73,000 new cases in the US in less than the last 24 hours. WTF is going on up there? Are there that many stupid people surging over a new crest of ignorance?

Yes, unfortunately there are. Did you read the article on yahoo.ca yesterday about the Canadian truckers who want the border to stay shut- they don't want to drive transport into the US and are starting to refuse to do cross-border trips- they say it's crazy down there- no one wearing masks, no social distancing, like they never heard of coronavirus.
And I just read an article about a whole family in Florida who has the virus- the father is in ICU, he's overweight and has diabetes- the stepmom said she kept telling their young adult son to stop going out partying with his friends but he ignored her- now he infected the entire family.

The 1450 mg. 30 ml. bottle is no longer available. They have increased the concentration... which is good because it lasts longer and you can take less.
The low end of dosage is to take 5 mg and that's where you start ONCE a day.
The concentration on the bottle is for the WHOLE bottle no matter what its size is. General rule of thumb is that there are 20 drops per ml.
So my 30 ml. bottle (I have a LOT of empties) contained 20 drops x 30 ml equals 600 drops in the bottle. Concentration per drop is 1450 mg. divided by 600 drops equals 2.42 mg. per drop.
Two drops sublingually morning and night works for me.
I will have to do a little adjusting with the newer concentrations... like 1 drop in the am and 2 in the pm... or vice versa.

Ha Ha !!! No offense Pete, but I´d rather go with "I just read an article".
Besides Pete is probably busy shopping at his Original, local Costco.

I am Canadian, so I know all things Canadian automatically (just like if you find out I'm from there and ask me if I know "Bob" (of course I do)). And the trucker thing is true. but since travel is pretty restricted and most of us have no good reason to cross borders, you are not going to get many answers from direct participants.

I could have posted the links, but didn't feel it was necessary, as I was responding to Computer Guy, and if he'd asked, I would have provided them. I, like many, have friends in the US we talk to by phone, and yes, this ignorant and dangerous behavior is verified by those living there. I don't have to see it with my own eyes in person- my friends aren't liars and there are plenty of videos online to make it evident what is going on, with packed beaches, partying, and large maskless gatherings.

Here in Cameron County in south Texas community spread has developed. We had our first case mid March. By Memorial Day when everything opened up we were having 10-20 cases per day and then it shot up from there. Right now we’re doing about 350 cases per day. Older folks are all wearing masks or staying indoors. Young people are still being careless.

I read somewhere that Cameron, Hidalgo, Bexar, Harris, Webb, and a few other counties in Texas have requested from FEMA refrigerated trailers since the morques are full. I was in Jiquilpan today and the people tell me that there are more deaths from Dengue than Covid.

You’re right. They’re looking for hotels where recovering patients can be treated. They were going to use tents but they measured the pavement temperature and it was 140 degrees so it was unsuitable for that.

Well if the numbers can be believed we only have 3 active cases in the whole area. Must be doing something right or they are whisking everyone off the Guadalajara.

by Jreboll Sat Jul 18, 2020 11:10 am

This virus flies under the radar. You don’t see sickly people out in public or those that are coughing and sneezing. Hospitals are packed and we’re almost reaching 1000 cases a day in this 3-county area but everyone is out and about in public. I can understand why some yahoos don’t believe in masks and social distancing.

A very interesting link lakeside7. Thanks.

Interesting round up... on four aspects of Covid-19.
The one on immune response was of the most interest to me.

Researchers in Singapore are not worried that antibodies to the novel coronavirus fade quickly. More important, they said, is that immune system cells called T cells and B cells "remember" the virus and can trigger an immune response.
