One of the things that annoys me the most...

I'm sure the overuse of antibiotics for every little sniffle over the last generation can't be part of the issue of a "superbug" like this either.

I usually hold on to the prescription for them for a week. If my body doesn't fight off whatever I got it for, then I'll get it filled. This time (my leg) I got it filled right away and am religious about taking them.

The asymptomic people they are finding to test positive are the people that have been exposed that they are testing.

Yet another reason....

I forgot to add this:

Dr. Fauci Answers a Profoundly Important Question: Can You Get the Wuhan Coronavirus Twice?

www.redstate.com

Folks like Dr. Fauci (I've read the same elsewhere) think you can't get COVID-19 a second time around (like seasonal influenza), but are not yet sure (unlike seasonal influenza). This is a big deal.

Other good stuff in the linked post.

Again, FWIW.

Same thing with me in case of a sinus infection. I am prone to them, so I have to stay on top of allergies or the common sniffle, so it doesn't develop into the sinus infection so I can avoid antib's.

How Grandmother’s Gargling Remedy Could Help Abate The Wuhan Flu

Theoretically, the remedy your grandma gave you when you had a sore throat could be used as a proactive step to kill the Wuhan virus.

Saline gargle and saline nasal rinsing may provide some protection against the virus. Interesting take. Not quack docs; legitimate ones.

(I do the sinus rinse b/c me, too.)

I can't recall the flu causing permanent lung damage.

Nope ... you get fluid on your lungs ....... Covid-19 is different

Well, that's good. Don't need geoligists trying to tell us how to fight Covid....

Wonder if anyone has tried the method used for cystic fibrosis patients. Turn them on their side or upside down and apply strong whacks to the back.

From what I gather, the goop is more like tar and does not dislodge. Breathing treatments don't work either. When you are hospitalized it is so they can hook you to machines that breath for you to buy you time while your body fights it.

The more I hear about things like this, the more I can't help but think this is not a naturally occurring mutation.

HAH! I have about 4-5 "travel size" bottles of the sterile saline spray tucked into evey purse, travel bag & fanny pack. I was using it multiple times a day after visiting Vrai & Monello in February, as I got what I thought was the travel sinus crud.

Take that, hoarders!

Nope. Not coronavirus.

Did you quote that from MEMORY? Damn.

I'ma go with "social experiment". The virus isn't the problem; our reaction to it shows our enemies exactly how to control us.
