President Trump described the patient as a “wonderful woman” and a “medically high-risk patient” in her late 50s, at the news conference. Jeffrey Duchin, chief health officer for Seattle and King County, later clarified that the patient was a man in his 50s with underlying conditions.
whoa...Trump was right to be against Chinise 5Gthe new conspiracy theories are getting interesting...and this person is running for congress
Dr. Pall has made perfectly clear, Wuhan City in China, where the outbreak started, was the initial site of the most intense rollout of 5G wireless technology on the planet.

this woman thinks she has the symptoms, lives in Seattle and Her job is physical therapy for the elderly
So being a responsible person she spent hours and hours Called hotlines hospitals urgent care’s primary care doctors to find out she can’t even get tested And pretty much no one knows even how to get tested!!!
I guess you should’ve just called pence first, via prayer hotline

At what point do we shut shit down and everyone stays in their house for a few weeks until we get a grip on this thing? We all could use a vacation anyway.Can you imagine the impact on the economy? Think of all the hourly workers who wouldn't get paychecks. I don't think the $$ should be our only focus, but I think we need to focus on awareness, detection and help for those infected. This is not ebola. I think this is a serious thing and people (and hopefully our government) should take it seriously. But I think closing everything down for a few weeks would have massive unintended consequences

so i listened to this interview on joe rogan's showGreat. So, you've identified where you went wrong, now what do you do about it?
Just attended a staff meeting where the range of emotion ran from one person who was visibly rolling his eyes, interrupting our supervisor by saying the word "YAWN" loudly, asking "how many people in the US have this like 16? and "this is going to tank our economy" to....a Chinese-American who has been sounding the alarms in our office for many weeks who proclaimed that "Dr. ……. designed this to get rid of (Chinese) deplorables and now it's gotten out of hand."
Good lord, these people have PHD's.

just got CDC Director Redfield to commit to using his authority under existing law to make #Covid_19 testing FREE for every single American.
the doc states that coronavirus is so virulent, the air one exhales contains the virus when one is at their peak viral load - which is unfortunately before they show any symptoms). so before you get a fever, you're a walking atomizer leaving a virus-cloud everywhere you go. this is going to get worse before it gets better.
It is obvious it spreads really easily and is very deadlyI'm not sure "very deadly" is totally accurate.
It is obvious it spreads really easily and is very deadlyI'm not sure "very deadly" is totally accurate.
Guess if it spreads so easily that in a sense “amplifies” the death impactYeah, obviously 1% of a huge population is more than 11% of a much smaller group. Not wanting to give the impression this is a non-event for sure.
I still wonder about that nursing home...
I mean, if I'm just playing armchair epidemiologist, Ebola has a like 90% mortality rate. That is very deadly. SARS I think is at like 11%.
It is my understanding COVID-19 has a mortality rate of around 3% and a mortality rate of 0.7% outside of Wuhan (i.e. once it was identified and doctors had some idea what they were treating). This is not an instant death sentence. If 0.7% turns up to be an accurate number (and honestly, we really won't know until we are looking back on this thing with more data), that's a really awful flu on steroids. Even if the number gets as high as 2-3%, yes, this is a big time deal but I'm not sure "very deadly" in the context of other horrible viruses is accurate.

I mean, the younger you are, the better. No better time than now.

haven't you heard about "flattening the curve"? the idea is that if everyone gets sick all at once, it'll overwhelm the healthcare system and healthcare workers will be forced to make who-will-live-and-who-will-die decisions, as is currently the case in italy. the goal is to space (!) out the rate of infection, so the same total number of people pass through hospitals but not all at the same time. rushing to the hospital is risky both for yourself and for society in general.
and being a month younger or a month older isn't going to affect your outcome.
if only to pander to Jules, here is a U of MI article about flattening the curve (https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/wellness-prevention/flattening-curve-for-covid-19-what-does-it-mean-and-how-can-you-help).

Yeah, that's part of it. Deets TBA.
Having said that if there aren’t enough respirators and you have a person who is 80 and a person who is 40 tough choices will I am sure be made...but we are not there yet and hopefully never will be

Just had a beach house rental out on Hatteras (Outer Banks) for the first week of April cancelled because of a travel ban. Fine with that. Little irked the rental company is taking the tact that "the house is available and you are welcome to stay there, it is not our fault you are not a Dare County resident, ergo no refund or rescheduling". Really?

There were no new cases reported in China yesterday. So, that's a good thing!
also, i don't know if i'm ready to believe the chinese government on this. their initial reaction was as botched as ours, and i'm sure Xi is ready to put this behind him - so who knows, maybe it's a case of "less than 100/day? let's call that zero, close enough, mission accomplished!"

Stocks in March 2009 hit 6500!!I guess for me, I really want to rub Trump's face in it. It's lame and I know it will come back (it may take 5+ years or even a decade)
Of course the stock market is a big deal...am just saying one would expect it to go way down...then recover...eventually...
the increase under Trump always seemed kind of out of all reason given the president puts everyone at risk...but Wall Street doesn’t exactly go up or down based on common sense

Right. I mean HHS said 18 months, multiple waves.I was talking about wave one.
Here's my story for the day.
I got mail saying it's time to renew my driver's license ahead of my expiration in early May. Since I need the VA RealID to fly (my passport is also about to expire), I had to go in in person. I don't know if I'll be able to fly in June, but i wanted to make sure my license issues were taken care of today, before the possibility of everything shutting down (indeed they are now shutting down for at least two weeks) and me not having proper id to fly.
When I arrived at DMV shortly after opening, there was a line outside, and letting one person in for each person who went out. The line was about 30 long.
A short time later, someone tried cut the line and a Latina or maybe Middle Eastern looking woman (point is she definitely wasn't Chinese) reported him to the armed security guards. The guards asked the crowd if the guy indeed cut in line and it was confirmed. They booted his ass out the door.
As he was exiting, he muttered "fucking Chinese looking bitch." To which someone called out, "Hey stop that, that's no cool." I then added "Go to the back of the line you ugly Flava Flav looking motherfucker."
And surprisingly, rather than leaving in embarrassment, Flav went to the back on the line and stood in the cold rain like the rest of us.

So did anyone figure out what Germany is doing right? Over 40,000 cases with 250 deaths

so the official explanation is that they started testing early and often, and tested everyone - not just people showing obvious signs of infection. they also started social isolation earlier than other countries. per this line of thinking, they were able to shield many of the most vulnerable from getting infected (per WaPo (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/germany-coronavirus-death-rate/2020/03/24/76ce18e4-6d05-11ea-a156-0048b62cdb51_story.html), NPR (https://www.npr.org/2020/03/25/820595489/why-germanys-coronavirus-death-rate-is-far-lower-than-in-other-countries), etc.)

Would one even want one’s kid in a school when the school made a stink about one having to trim the family budget during a pandemic?
No kids so that takes an emotional element out for me. Really comes down to “do you have the money and want to see this school succeed”? Sounds like your income has been impacted. Mine and my wife’s have not just as a result of the fields we work in — we’ve upped donations to some charitable things and asked for refunds on cancelled things to go stay with the orgs.
Yours is a totally different case. If this puts a strain on your finances and the mission of this particular preschool is not a top priority in your life - I definitely don’t think you’re in the wrong to pull her out.
There are so many organizations feeling the pinch right now and it’s great to want to help keep everyone afloat but people shouldn’t do it at the expense of their own reserves. Don’t really think there’s a wrong decision here, Yada.

As far as concerts...I could see big concerts being out for a real real long time

It just shocks me all the handshaking these leaders keep doing
Remember that Presser with all the CEO's on the WH lawn. Would be crazy if Trump infected all those CEOs and they brought it back to their companies/home towns
goodness, sounds like the are using the same script from the impeachment, just changing the names
I do think there might be some value to this, but at the same time, why don't we focus on our mess and coverup

It’s very important Congress heed @SenRickScott and begin a comprehensive investigation of the @WHO and their potential involvement in Communist China’s cover up of the coronavirus pandemic.

Given what a germaphobe Trump is, I bet his hands were very clean before shaking those CEO hands. And I bet he didn't touch his face and immediately washed his hands after the presser.
I don't think they really know how much risk a quick one second handshake with an infected person is. Compared to say, siting close to them for an extended period of time, but not touching them. I've been trying to read more about the science end of it all but there's just a world of unknown at this point.
That said, he's supposed to be a leader, and those handshakes were not following social distancing codes.
I wonder if he's still shaking hands at this point, after seeing his fat fuck friend in a coma?

Between the asymptomatic, those awaiting results, and those who can't get tested, we're probably over a million in the US already, right?I'd say even more
Looks like the mask announcement is next on the docket
Oh no Louisiana
The way I figure it you could have ten cases for every positive person with a result of covid...easy
Everyone should assume they have it
When so many people have it what is the point of testing ? You are not going to test everyone every day and since you have asymptomatic people what is the point? You don’t want to test people, comes back negative and they go out...
Testing makes more sense when you are considering reopening (or before it got out of control) but at this point? If someone comes to hospital with certain symptoms you can assume they have it
(Spitballing here...not a medical professional)

The older white people (i.e. Trump voters), primarily live in suburbs and rural areas, where they will be able to more easily socially distance. Not saying Trump won't lose some of his flock, but a disproportionate amount of black people are going to die from this.

Wealth is a vector (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/coronavirus-covid-cities-second-homes-rural-small-towns)Julian's America has never been more under attack.
That’s what sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom tweeted last week, in reference to the spread of COVID-19 across both the globe and the United States. Wealth is not the cause of every concentrated outbreak dotting the United States. But it’s the common denominator of so much of its spread outside of major urban areas. It’s the reason why so many of the coronavirus hot spots in the Mountain West — Sun Valley, Idaho; Gunnison County, Colorado; Summit County, Utah; Gallatin County, Montana — overlap with winter playgrounds for the wealthy. The virus travels via people, and the people who travel the most, both domestically and internationally, are rich people.
I saw that coming...Please call your Congressman about sending us aide.

Lansing — At least 40% of those killed by the novel coronavirus in Michigan so far are black, a percentage that far exceeds the proportion of African Americans in the Detroit region and state.
The first statewide release of mortality by race in Michigan, among the first in the nation, suggests that the actual percentage of blacks killed could be significantly higher — the race of nearly a third killed has yet to be disclosed.
In Michigan, just 14% of the population is black. And while the coronavirus outbreak has been centered in Metro Detroit, African Americans make up less than a quarter of the six-county metropolitan area.

I read an article that said DC Mayor expects covid19 to peak in DC in June-July with 1000 deathsThis is just me speaking and I am not an epidemiologist I just can look at the daily charts of other countries and compare to ours and where we are, and also am listening to what the experts on my company’s board are saying, and from that, I predict late-May/early-June is going to be the wind down to normalcy and I think the second that corner is turned everything will open back up.
It’s hard to imagine if that is the city’s current thinking that any concerts will take place during those months
I am not sure why venues are rescheduling postponed concerts for June as the Ottobar emailed me they are doing for Guided by Voices...just isn’t going to happen
That said, I am known to be wrong.can confirm

In Michigan, just 14% of the population is black. And while the coronavirus outbreak has been centered in Metro Detroit, African Americans make up less than a quarter of the six-county metropolitan area.
On Friday, the Illinois Department of Public Health became one of the few state offices to release some racial data. And the data showed a pandemic within the pandemic: African Americans are significantly overrepresented in infection rates in Illinois, while whites and Latinos are significantly underrepresented. African Americans make up 14.6 percent of the state population, but 28 percent of confirmed cases of the coronavirus. White people comprise 76.9 percent of the Illinois population, and 39 percent of the confirmed cases. Latinos comprise 17.4 percent of the state population, and 7 percent of the cases. In Illinois, Asian Americans were the only racial group without a significant disparity between their state population, at 5.9 percent, and confirmed cases, at 4 percent. (Nearly a third of cases were recorded as “other” or left blank. Illinois did not release racial data on Native Americans, or on testing, hospitalization, and death rates by race.)

This was my thought today about this article when i was out on my lunchtime bike ride.
Also, two middle aged helmet haired hags were walking together about eight feet apart, one on each edge of the trail. Socially distancing from each other but definitely not using proper trail etiquette. I cut between them on my bike and one of them yelled at me "Hey buddy, tell us you're coming!" I shot back, "Stay to the right like you're supposed to." I was going too fast to hear if they had a response.
That's my trail story for the day.

Deaths seem to be trending down finally
Deaths seem to be trending down finally
It always looks like that on Mondays. Reporting slows down over the weekend. Plus, deaths trail existing cases by 10-20 days, and cases haven't really dropped yet.
Obviously if so many people stay home we flatten the curve but the issue is that during this time the federal government was supposed to be getting its act together so that we can prevent more people from getting sick (ramping up testing, tracing, policies on isolating people) and when in the future more people get sick we are not overwhelmed ...also develop a national strategy for reopening and even coordinate things on a global scale....this was why we have been doing all this mitigation
Does anyone in their right minds think this has and is happening?
Number of new cases has been steadily around 30K for the past seven days (ranging from 25 K to 35K). I think that's much more a function of number of people being tested than number of people actually sick.
The answer is no yet there are a lot of people who think the administration is doing a wonderful job.

consider how much we don't know: infection rates (due to lack of testing), mortality rate, intensity of the outbreak (aka R0), distribution of immunity (antibodies), whether antibodies are even relevant with this disease, etc... with so many squishy unknowns and tenuous assumptions, any wonder that the models' outputs change regularly?

Well the first day of online school is cancelled because kids started spamming the site with porn and racist garbage and dick pics in their avatars. What a great country we live in. Instead of making the day up tomorrow (they have half their classes on Wed and half on Fri, so one 45 min session per week), they're just skipping it and starting Friday.this is how it was framed on WTOP

For many in Fairfax, the first day of distance learning quickly descended into chaos.
One AP Environmental Science class group chat filled with messages such as, “F--- you, yiu smell like gay.” Users joined a German class populated with usernames including “I LOVE ADOLF HITLER” and “OVEN SURVIVOR #2.”
Adams, of the Fairfax Education Association, said she heard reports of users exposing their genitals and students forming private group chats to bully peers.
One 10th-grade teacher recounted a typical fiasco: Fifteen minutes in, someone entered his virtual classroom with a username including the n-word. The teacher removed the user, but the person kept rejoining.
The teacher tried to keep the lesson going but lost hope when the user began blaring loud music with obscene lyrics.
“It was incredibly embarrassing,” the teacher said. “As a teacher, it’s all about showing your students you have things under control.”
“If you don’t have any control,” he said, “how are you supposed to teach?”

My wife's results came back negative which is borderline incredible to me because she is on day four of a fever over 100, a constant cough, and body aches that ramp up dramatically overnight. I wonder how accurate these tests are. Maybe she just has a weird, random post-Easter flu?
She'll have to wait like me for the anti-bodies test when it comes out and then when they say "you've already have the infection" she'll say "I fuckin' knew it."Yep, this is exactly what I told her. Stay inside and talk to no one and XX months from now when we have reliable antibody tests, I'll put dinner on it coming back positive.
Anyways came back negative and she said 30% are false negatives..not sure if this is true...I don’t think she had covid19Thanks. Just read something that showed a (relative small sample size) test done in China and the nasal swaps were only hitting at like 73% accuracy in a known-COVID group. WHO KNOWS?
I hope your wife feels better soon

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a 5th-grade student in Montgomery County who is undergoing chemotherapy. At the beginning of April, after not feeling well for several days, her mother suddenly and unexpectedly died. The girl is living in an apartment with her aunt, uncle, and two cousins and all are grieving the loss of their family member. Due to COVID-19, the aunt and uncle are now unemployed, so there is no money coming in and food supply is running low. In addition, the family does not have a car, but does need to get the girl to the hospital for chemotherapy treatments.
The PTA, MCPS, and her Delegates & district council members are engaged to find resources for this family at this very difficult time. However, in the interim, emergency support is needed. We are trying to raise money to pay for their rent, utilities, and nutritious foods for the aunt, uncle, cousins, and young girl while the student is undergoing chemotherapy to alleviate some of the financial stress that they are currently experiencing.
Identity, an organization that provides case management and support for families who live in high-poverty areas of Montgomery County, has graciously agreed to direct funds to this family through their LIFT Fund if designated as such. Donors can make a contribution by going to Identity's LIFT Fund (https://identity-youth.org/donate/), selecting an amount, and designating in the “Additional Comments” box that funds are for the “The A.G. Family.” Contributors will get a thank letter that will serve as a receipt for tax purposes.
Please help this family by making a donation today.
Thank you so much.

Scientists say a now-dominant strain of the coronavirus could be more contagious than original (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-05/mutant-coronavirus-has-emerged-more-contagious-than-original)
Scientists have identified a new strain of the coronavirus that has become dominant worldwide and appears to be more contagious than the versions that spread in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study led by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The new strain appeared in February in Europe, migrated quickly to the East Coast of the United States and has been the dominant strain across the world since mid-March, the scientists wrote.
(...)
In many places where the new strain appeared, it quickly infected far more people than the earlier strains that came out of Wuhan, China, and within weeks it was the only strain that was prevalent in some nations, according to the report. The new strain’s dominance over its predecessors suggests that it is more infectious, according to the report, though exactly why is not yet known.
So maybe the Chinese weren't lying about their case totals

Does any other developed country show such utter disdain and contempt for the lives of its people?

I hear the argument that it’s a smaller percentage but it’s a hell of a lot more dead and hurting people.
Is it because most affected people are elderly? Or a disproportionate number black?
I am embarrassed for us. People overseas pity us. Like if we are so great like we keep telling everyone why can’t we get our act together? Nobody expects us to be South Korea but compare us to say Germany... our response is pathetic. It’s almost nonexistent. The approach is arguably to “take the punch”... Those that have to die must die
But now, folks just tune into that which fits their narrative, and fuck the rest...I do feel this is a big problem with the US today
Does any other developed country show such utter disdain and contempt for the lives of its people?

Well like I said ANY developed nation. Take Australia if you want to compare the US with people who despised government/rebels/jailbirds
I saw that!
Just makes it all that much more important to get our act together
Of course we need to reopen but we should be testing millions a day..and employ an army of contact tracers
I have always been skeptical of the assumption we will soon have a vaccine
Maybe we will maybe we won’t
The other big concern I have is who is to say it won’t or isn’t mutating into different strains which will cause different illnesses
MoCo Numbers continue to climb and climb!
Still not over, but possibly at the beginning of a very long ending.or this year will be “the darkest winter in modern history,”
MoCo Numbers continue to climb and climb!
But the daily increase is flat or smaller. That's what they mean by flattening the curve. Still not over, but possibly at the beginning of a very long ending.
Here's the new daily case count from https://montgomerycountymd.gov/hhs/rightnav/coronavirus.html

So yeah, not as flat as I had previously stated, but nowhere near 1000 new cases every day. Were you looking at Maryland data?
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49894677181_829108469c_w.jpg)well if it wasn't for that fake report on 5/1 (come on people, you know Obama did that) the curve would be a lot flatter

I don't think you've spent enough time in Red State Country to realize that that is actually a major turn on for a fair share of the rube population.
It seems likely that with a imcreasedt testing they will catch more of the asymptomatics. So it will be tough for the number of daily cases to decrease if the are catching a higher percentage of the positives.
I mean I can’t get a testReally? Every PatientFirst type place here has drive up clinics. No doctors order needed.
Why would asymptomatic people be tested?
I mean I can’t get a test
What is patient first?Do you guys not have those there? PatientFirst is an extremely ubiquitous chain of Urgent Care medical centers in Virginia/NC (you know, the kind of place where if you need stitches but don't want to go to the ER or you have the flu but no insurance/PCP and just want to pay cash for your one doctors appointment every 5 years).
We call that urgent care center here I think

... aaaaaand this is exactly why trump doesn't want more testing: if you look, you'll find.
I don’t get that
I mean over 100,000 have died counting the undercount...with stay at home orders everywhere
Not to mention we don’t know the long term impact on the health of many that survive their battle or related illnesses or syndromes
Where you expecting a million to have died by now Space?
I really cannot stand anything that even closely minimizes the death toll
Again I know four people that have lost family to covid...one person lost two people
Maybe it’s your stats/technocratic background or work but the way you keep describing things relating to covid kind of comes across as insensitive at best and heartless at worst
Again, we have lost over 100,000 Americans WITH serious stay at home/social distancing protocols in place

well at least it's killing the sexes at an equal proportion to population!
Gender# of Deaths Percent
Female 2,296 51%
Male 2,197 49%
Didn't early on they say that Men were more at risk?
so by that logic...women who are still living over 65 are at more risk then men who are not livingwell at least it's killing the sexes at an equal proportion to population!

I saw that and it stood out to me as well.
One explanation that popped into my mind was that PA has a higher rate of nursing home COVID deaths than nationally.
So that made me think...who resides in nursing homes? And the answer...predominantly women.
For those age 65-74 who reside in U.S. nursing homes, for every 100 men there are 132 women. Among residents of nursing homes age 75-84, for every 100 men there are 246 women, and among those age >/=85, for every 100 men there are 425 women.

My wife was just on the couch using "Brian Sims" and "hot" in the same sentence. I wasn't sure what she was going on about.
Is anyone else who is teleworking now working on their argument for why they should never have to go back to the office?

I really miss the 5-minute conversations about GOT or Trump's latest or where they went on vacation or what college their kid got into
and sharing that same kind of info with them
Only argument would be I should be able to work remotely whenever I want (as long as it doesn't impact work)
Which opens up the 3-week vacation stuff with family. Where we travel to some great state park, I work 3 full days while the others going on some adventures. Then at 5 PM I'm in Yellowstone and can enjoy a 5 day vacation Then we move to anothe location and I work for 3 days and do it all again, this time at Glacier National park.
Is anyone else who is teleworking now working on their argument for why they should never have to go back to the office?I’ve been presenting this as an idea in my company for three years and this forced “trial” will probably be the thing that pushes it across the finish line. (I personally will still likely go in daily.)
My wife, otoh, is trying to make the case for never going back to the office. To the "I'm going to quit my job if they don't agree to it" extent. Not out of fear of COVID, but because she thinks there is no reason to ever physically be in an office, and due to her dread of commuting and being around people. She also thinks that the "new normal" is going to create situations where after commuting an hour each way you have to choose between waiting in a long line to ride the elevator solo or climbing eight flights of stairs, just to go to your office where you're required to wear a mask for eight hours, when instead you can get 11 hours of work done at home with no mask. To that end, i think she had a point.This is pretty spot on. I would also add companies that mandate in-office workers often miss out on the contributions of parents with child care issues (predominately, but not entirely, women) and disabled individuals for whom commuting is often difficult. There is a huge swath of talented female business leaders (and again, some men) who want families who are effectively sidelined for a decade+ of their career and have their their talent untapped by companies in the name of mandatory in-office work. This is a market inefficiency that is ripe for exploiting.
I also have a lot of thoughts on batch payroll methodology but I'll save that for another day.Let's just consider that matter settled
I just don’t know enough to understand Covid19
I hope it’s losing its potency and spreads less easily than previously thought
The Italian health authorities have discredited that physician’s statements but who the hell knows
Bigger issues than 150,000 dead in two months and millions of infected people?
100's of years of systemic racism in the US is a bigger issue for me than Covid... not saying Covid isn't a big issue, but this is bigger in my humble opinion.Fully agree.

For a change of scenery after three months of not leaving our neighborhood, we went to western PA last week to see my parents. They live in a county where there have been approximately 10 cases. The town will most likely cease to exist if current conditions economically continue. This is just one example of extreme measures that make absolute zero sense. I'm not saying every area should open up and I think that's extremely irresponsible, but this virus is killing people in many other ways that just sickness (which has been covered in this thread before).

And hopefully people will wear masks indoors, everywhere. And stay 6+ feet apart. Some communities seem to take the mask and distance things more seriously than others.
Agree...serious pandemic fatigue
I think soon we just have to get on with it but with some new procedures in place and virus weakening I don’t think deaths will spike back up

Science Based MedicineI like my medicine fantasy-based, can we get some from 'both sides'
Science based is fine..limiting yourself to listening to epidemiologists not so much
You have to look at things from all angles not just epidemiology
If you just listen to epidemiologists you won’t open up til 2023
Let’s remember why we shut down..to flatten the curve and get ourselves -our infrastructure-ready to deal...we didn’t shut down with the goal of eliminating all covid death forever
You have to look at things from all angles not just epidemiology
Except you were saying we should open before we had flattened the curve. Your view was to reopen months ago..hell not even shut down schools
We would have never flattened the curve with that approach, smarty pants
Well I'm not agreeing that your co-worker's solution is right, but being metabolically healthy (https://www.healthline.com/health-news/what-does-it-mean-to-be-metabolically-healthy) is key to COVID survival
most who are dying have: Obesity, hypertension, diabetus and such
Elderberries are chockfull of antioxidants such as vitamins A and C and various flavonoids and there are some studis saying it can reduce (not prevent) the lenght of colds/flu..
So there are benefits in being a healthy supplement and providing gut health, but I would not say a specific covid remedy
I'd be a little skeptical of Pineapple juice...as it's tons of sugar
so unless you fresh squeeze it, you are not getting all the said benefits and mostly sugar
it does have some interesting properties and in small doses has lots of pluses
Covid is a science issue.... the crisis is not
Antioxidants are not helpful in large quantities.I never said that they were helpful in large quantities (chockfull I guess where you get that?)
I could rant on this for hours, but you'd have to be willing to be educated on the topic for it to be worthwhile.
Marketers and new age con men jumped on that idea and flooded the market with unsupported claims and dubious products. .... You're likely to be duped into handing over your money for snake oil.I 100% agree on this
This is why I prefer science-based medicine.(https://i.redd.it/9u2786ka6q351.jpg)

There is no doubt that human misuse and overuse of antibiotics are large contributors to resistance, particularly in relation to bacteria associated with human infection
Not horns, but definitely impacting our guts, making us sicker and less resilient to fight off infection
