Virus Home-Made Countermeasures...

[Descant]

Aps, instead of disinfecting mail in your car for two days, go to each company web site and go paperless. Put all your bills on auto-pay so they'll be paid on time whether you are in FL or NH, or someplace in between. Take down your mailbox and USPS will stop delivering shoppers news and all that junk mail. Shop with Instacart and Amazon so you don't need cash or a mask.

It's difficult, especially for the first month, but stop driving. You'll save tons on car costs, wasted time, impulse purchases in the store, and even improve your carbon footprint. That should be important to a sailor.

Sometimes I can be a little bit dense. I’m never embarrassed to ask too many questions, LOL. I’m trying to understand about the heat and humidity. It seems to me, that the people in New Hampshire are thinking that as soon as it warms up this virus is just going to magically disappear.
I look at places like Miami, Florida and New Orleans, Louisiana which both have high temperatures and humidity but they are hotspots for the coronavirus. Are you saying that you believe these numbers would be much higher if they were in a colder climate?

You are not dense at all. There is so much we do not know about the virus, yet every new bit of accurate knowledge helps to understand.

You cannot and should not immediately assume the virus will go away in the hot humid summer. It may or may not. Knowing some of the story does not mean we know the end of the story.

Most bleach in the bottle, such as Chlorox is a 5 or 6 percent solution of sodium hypochlorite and is stable for months. To make a disinfectant solution you need mix only 1/3 cup Chlorox to a gallon of water. This very dilute solution is effective but it is stable for only 24 hours.

I am not sure what the 10% solution you refer to means so just giving info.

Thanks for the correction. I was mixing epoxy resin and catalyst most of the day, which made a 10% solution. I had been using somewhat less than ⅓ cup of Clorox to a gallon of water, but I can bump that up now.

All important suggestions: most of which I observe.
Cash-money shows up in my "junk" mail, and I just can't throw it out.

Amazon delivered a package today—via USPS.

I donate to charities caring for animals, like "Mutts on a Mission". Other charities send more requests, although the outfit buying bulletproof vests for police dogs is a bridge too far. Wolfeboro Electric billing has yet to observe "paperless".

I've been asked if I'd pick up a "lucky penny". I say no, because a penny is a poor return on hurting my back. But for a free 54¢, I'll open a letter.

From my minute-to-minute news-aggregating website:

"For those who have a Samsung phone with Android operating system (or want to download the Samsung Health App) you have to search a bit to locate the feature.

After you open the app, scroll to the "Stress" option and press "Measure". It instructs you to put your finger on the sensor light on the back of the cell phone, and then performs the measurement which will take up to about a minute to complete.

When done it displays your pulse bpm (beats per minute) and saturation percentage. I've read a number of comments which say that the measurements are surprisingly accurate, and correlate well with the more expensive pulse".

(The above app copies the results practiced at doctors' offices, when the usual white clamp device is placed on your index finger).

COVID-19 victims are showing up at ER rooms with severely-lowered O2 saturation levels.

Too many big words?

Although ApS frequently has misinformation from his news aggregators, his reference to oxygen readings from Samsung phones is correct ( mostly.) I honestly did not believe it, so Googled.

Actually, Samsung has had the ability to measure oxygen saturation for several generations of its phones, using its health app. And measuring oxygen saturation may be useful for at risk people to know.

However, as I understand, it is actually the older Samsungs that have this feature so before you go out and buy one, be certain that it is the correct model.

We may now return to the political bickering. I do subscribe to the Xfiles “trust no one.” Or, better yet, the more optimistic Reagan “trust, but verify.”

All b-ll**** IMHO if you're looking for a little truth and some insight into the future you're looking in the wrong place.

On my Samsung S7 phone, I have the Samsung Health app. An earlier version allowed for individually checking pulse and Oxygen Saturation Levels.

I mentioned this to my PCP I think 3 years ago, and he asked me to show it to him. I took the measurement and then he used his finger thingee (nice tech term). He found that amazing and suggested I regularly test myself, which I was and continue to do.

New PCP this year and I mentioned it to her. OSL was spot on and pulse was off by either two or three counts (could have been from her holding my hand, errrr wrist ). She was likewise impressed. IMHO, it is a great app, and has far more features.

The importance of determining oxygen saturation appeared in this Wuhan-virus sufferer:

"My wife got it (works in retail big-box store). She has asthma and it hit her hard. Fever, horrible dry cough, shortness of breath, weakness, loss of taste and smell, severe confusion. Lots of water, pedialyte, multivitamin, vitamin c, and Ionix Supreme (super drink with lots of Zinc and other good stuff).

diagnosis was over tellehealth. This got her the medications she needed (albutorol, prednisone) but found out too late after 2 week self quarantine that she wasn’t getting paid leave because she didn’t physically visit a doctor. My work had me quarantine as well. Also, wife was so out of it that I needed to be there continuously to give her medicine and make sure she didn’t pass out or fall or start coughing uncontrollably, etc. My work paid me though (full pay!). Had been getting time and a half for all time at work, so not as much as if I had been at work though.

After 2 weeks, she was feeling great and returned to work. I tried to go back to work but they wanted me to stay home another week because I had had some symptoms and it had only been one week since no symptoms. Good thing too, as wife’s 2nd day back she called saying she had left early because couldn’t breathe. I picked her up and took her to ER. Symptoms were significantly worse. Endless cough, even worse shortness of breath, no strength. Oxygen 86 and blood Pressure 190/121.

Did multiple chest X-rays and lungs were clear but found that heart was enlarged. Did echocardiogram and full blood testing to rule out heart attack. No heart attack. Heart had been fine in echocardiogram a few months prior so it was definitely new. Believe it was enlarged from pumping so hard. Blood pressure was so high every time they tried to get a blood sample her blood vessels would burst. Eventually got her oxygen up and BP down. Took her home after 7 hours or so (I wasn’t allowed inside). Stronger Prednisone prescription and cough suppressant. Also another 2 week self quarantine and

Took her into ER again several days later because side of face was tingly/numb along with side of body. Worried about stroke. No stroke. Diagnosed as parathesia (aka “fizzing”). Took her home.

Unbearable pain (she has had tetanus, so her pain tolerance is incredible)in face and continuing symptoms after a couple days. Took her back to ER. Diagnosed as face/mouth/jaw opportunistic infection. Dr. was pissed because other doctors should have caught that. Took home after an hour or so. More medication including antibiotics.

Abscess formed near tooth so found and brought her to dentist for emergency visit. Had to get root canal. Took home again and scheduled regular appointment. Took medication for pain and swelling. Got better but then pain again and still “fizzing”. Found out she was allergic to anti-inflammatory medication. Stopped that and pain and “fizzing” gone.

Wife finally went back to work this week after the 2nd self quarantine (ended up being closer to 3 weeks due her relapse being in middle of week). I have been self-quarantined at home the whole time (work would not let me come back this but still full pay!) and they told me to stay at home this week as wel(with pay). Wife is exhausted but getting through work day. She is getting a follow-up echocardiogram today. Will find out what my work wants me to do for next week today or tomorrow.

1000% markup on masks? Canada wants to know.

Who's "dealing" in them, and why are they crossing (back and forth) across the Pacific?

Why have California taxpayers just ordered $2 Billion in masks from China? (Shipped there by Canada "sources").

Still MORE "Theft of Intellectual Property"?

Remdesivir is made by Gilead (USA) and is the “cure” for COVID-19.

China holds the patent on the drug through an agreement with Gilead’s drug patent sharing subsidiary branch called UNITAID.

UNITAID has an office near Wuhan. The main financial investors in UNITAID are George Soros, Bill & Melinda Gates, and WHO.
https://www.3ccorp.net/2020/04/16/ge...onavirus-drug/

It’s just all a coincidence isn’t it? Gilead and UNITAID were financial supporters of "Herself".

One more coincidence: Dr. Fauci was the one authorizing $130 million to be sent to The Wuhan Institute of Virology specifically for the “study” of Coronaviruses...

Dr. Fauci beat back hydroxychloroquine which is presently enjoying an anecdotal, but increasingly successful history...

Follow the money.....
