    I've been saying this since March. Search this thread for evidence of it.

    I thought this was common knowledge?

    Has anyone got this beat? I know SignatureCare has the Abbott 15 minute test for $200+. Cepheid's website is crap in regards to which places have their 45 minute test. I want to get tested prior to visiting at-risk family, but waiting a week after testing and potentially getting it in the meantime is just dumb. I don't think I have any rapid tests in my network.

    Rapid tests are only accurate if it tests positive. Hard to determine anything from a negative reading.

    Look there have been previous studies that vitamin d c and zinc help reduce the chance of infection in respiratory viruses but no one knows exactly how it works except maybeee for zinc, and how much it helps for covid19.
    Taking them will not protect you much if you get inefected by a huge virus load. Also for vitamin C it requires a huge dose IV thats not even possible outside of the hospital.
    But it is the best you can do to help yourself apart from losing weight and staying in your house.
    It is not mumbo jumbo like oregano oil or lavender thats for sure.

    For vitamin D as long you are not severely deficient also there are diminishing returns.

    I am sorry but is this scientist a epidemiolosgist?

    Noone knows who and how can be a superspreader.
    So it is ridiculous to claim that a virus with a RO of 5+ requires only 40% for herd immunity., which normally according to epidomeiology needs over 80%.

    Sure if we FOREVER banned mass events,sports, bars and restaurants and everyone wore masks we would be "fine" with 40% and the virus would be suppressed.

    My thoughts are similar. It doesn’t hurt and maybe beneficial (so why not take them) but not something I would depend on.

    Unfortunately most online editorials are a catch 22 these days. They don't consider a person already pays an adsorbent amount for internet access and budget for streaming entertainment. They think their whatever a year isn't too much but sadly if you gave in you would not only be paying for the nytimes but sanfrangate whatever... F em all..

    An unknown bat virus 96% similar to covid19 killed 3 miners in 2012 in western China.

    Then the virus was collected and stored in the lab in Wuhan and the deaths went unreported to WHO.

    HMM..so covid just took 8 years slowly crossing across China to reach its captured ancestor and make Wuhan the epicentre.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Yup totally believable.

    Nobody should open my pantry door. I found one of them covids in there, and I locked it in. They don't talk much, but one thing is for certain, they seem to have trouble with doors.
