I didn't realize I had been here this long. It feels like I've always been here. Always, and never.

There's been a storm coming for a long time.
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


Some people seem to just be tuned in to survival. I've often thought about why...perhaps every family has always had this strain of folk, or we wouldn't be here as a whole. I always just felt it fell to me within my family, and I've got one cousin holed up on an island that has the same vibe.

It's never been debilitating, just something I'm aware of...and I do admit to always drifting here when something is going on.

I love my family and friends very much, but they are not really able to process all the types of possible doom that I am before losing their equilibrium. Maybe that's why it's my role. Don't know.

I'm just glad because of this place, I know I'm not alone.
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


Good point, I'm actually not sure how I ended up here either. It may have been Ebola. That scared the pants off me; I've always worried more about pandemics than other doom.

Of course you aren't alone, mate! cheers

Today I

... made my first of loaf of bread ever
... made a sourdough start
... made a thing for sprouts & started mung beans

figured it would be best to start developing these skills soon rather than in the middle of a crisis

never used sprouts but, hey, almost fresh veggies and Vit C
love sourdough and do not want to be running to the store every ~ 3 days, like normal, for fresh bread

oh, made bread in the crock pot, oven element burned out, browned the bread under the broiler ... pretty good for first time if i do say so myself

i write this to put a bug in an ear or two ... if you're going to be doing something new may want to try it out while its still semi-normal

Whatever I got hit me like a ton of bricks today. I was and am a zombie all day. Didn’t sleep much last night....too cold, then too hot, the too cold....all night. Been peeing like crazy. No appetite. No sneezing today, but coughing. Chest hurts. Low grade fever - @100F. Just miserable all day. On the couch drifting in and out of a weak sleep most of the day, just like a twilight sleep.

Took cold meds today. Another dose just now...to try and sleep. Been pounding the OJ and grapefruit juice, taking loads of Vit C, and drinking lots of water. Mouth still feels dry and there is a dull ache/burn behind my eyes.

Need to kick this thing starting tomorrow...

Whatever herbal products you elect to take, you have to answer two things.
1. Does the herb interfere with your current medication?
2. Is the herb safe for women who might be pregnant or breastfeeding?

Say someone read that grapefruit seed is antimicrobial. Well it can treat bacterial infections or parasites. There is limited details on antiviral effects.

Then it can dangerously deactivate medicines through cytochrome p450 or even enhance the potency of there drugs.

Just because an herb is antiviral does not mean it will deactivate replication in SARS CoV-2.

Physicians are practically powerless to fight viruses other than help with symptoms...like Herpes outbreaks or reduce the severity or length of symptoms.

Okay I just got back from a briefing on this, I am a figure in the UK's Department of Disease Control (DDC) and have a wide background working with the WHO, UN and others.
>Escaped viral bioweapon
>Heavily modified "chimera" strain of flu with a bioengineered neurological kick to it; two viruses in one, the flu is just a method of delivery for the real payload
>Causes people to develop flu-like symptoms that creep for a while and then suddenly fall over where they stand as the payload creeps through the body and then infects the brain (which then does something to the diaphragm inhibiting breathing) and lung tissue (you produce liquid in your lungs so you drown)
>Can be spread via skin-to-skin contact, air, water and blood
>Developed by China as a possible WMD
>Escaped from lab not in Wuhan but elsewhere
>Wuhan IS quarantined but that's because China selectively releases information and we are not being told about other outbreaks in China - downplaying

What we think are mutations are actually just the BW (bioweapon) coming into itself fully. This is a black swan event. Nothing else like it. Been advised by our supervisors to start prepping barrels and bags.

It IS a weapon and the design is quite special.
It produces rapid death while hiding behind a usually harmless flu-type infection. This was a weapon that was designed to stealthily infiltrate a population as much as it can before finally unleashing its cargo.
To facilitate further spread, the host's bronchi rupture and the diaphragm stops, making the patient's breaths ragged, harsh and full of blood; meaning that they will spray blood everywhere infecting others if they assist.
It spreads via contact, air and blood and can get into food and water too.
We don't know exactly how it got out but this is what we've been told. However we do not think this was done intentionally.

>>240570462
>Cure?
Only for the flu-half, vaccines. The other half is just fucking bizarre to look at.
>What % of death rate if 100 catch it.
We don't know that figure yet as for a long time the virus is asymptomatic, then it's flu (which the weakest infected have died of so far), then it's, well, whatever the fuck this really is deep down. Estimates lowest 70% highest 85%; China sharing information with us selectively as usual

SEATTLE CASE-EXPERIENCE: (update) My little brother just got out of the clinic in West Seattle. Pissed and disappointed. Get ready, because this is NOT what you want to hear....

His PPE'd-up doctor called CDC during his appointment, they refused to test him because he was otherwise healthy before getting sick with all the symptoms AND working with the infected individual at Century Link Field. They said because he is only 30 years old that he will survive the infection. All despite his symptoms AND close contact with confirmed case. They wont give him a CAT scan of lungs, or perform any other diagnostics to rule out flu, etc.

Word for word the doctor said "lets assume you do have it. We're going to prescribe you the exact same meds we are prescribing people who test positive. Stay away from anybody until you don't show symptoms for 24 hours without medication." Those meds:

Benzonatate - numbs lungs/throat to suppress cough, causes heart arrythmia as side effect
Viscous Lidocaine - numbs throat/mouth pain, normally prescribed in tandem with chemo, and benzonatate
Flonaise - for a sore throat

Fucking cough suppressants and cancer medication. NO antiviral. NO antibiotic. If this is how our WA health department is spending that $110 million to fight this virus then we are fucked. Prescribing these meds to confirmed cases will only mask symptoms and result in further spread of the disease AND probably patient death. It's clear they want this to spread and they want numbers to stay low for PR.

He recorded some of his exam and is debating on posting it to Youtube; which I'll happily share here if/when he does that.

This is fucking terrifying. Time to smoke a bowl.

3. Flonase is a topical steroid to reduce swelling in the nose and sinuses.
4. Antibiotics will not work against covid or any virus, so it would be stupid to prescribe them.
5. I think it sucks thst they did not order diagnostic tests, but it is obvious that they are rationing tests for the severe cases.

I hope he feels better soon.

It's true that antibiotics don't work against covid or any other virus, but that misses the point of why they're so important to have on hand right now.

The antibiotics are for the opportunistic bacterial infections that commonly follow a bout with viral pneumonia. For example, as noted in John Barry's book The Great Influenza, it was very common for the H1N1 patients to end up dying of bacterial pneumonia during the Spanish Flu pandemic. If I remember right, bacterial infection deaths accounted for an astoundingly large percentage of the total deaths (~25% were bacterial pneumonia iirc).

My wife is Brazilian. She planned a trip to her home city, Sao Paulo, back in August of last year. She leaves on Tuesday from Boston, and will be there for two and a half weeks, and her mother is coming back to stay with us for another two months.

I have told her everything I know about this situation. I have updated her on news from Brazil and New England. I have told her all about China, and Italy, and Iran, and all the numbers and statistics and everything else.

She is stubborn as a mule, and also stuck in normalcy bias. I see this all the time when I talk about hurricanes and economic things.

Granted, I may be a bit of a GLP tard, but... that's besides the point.

Anyway, I am stlll driving her to Logan on Tuesday, and I honestly think that in the interim (2-1/2 weeks) something will be put in place (lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions) so that I will never see her again.

But, with her attitude, along with most people around here, there's nothing I can do to convince her otherwise.

Today I

... made my first of loaf of bread ever
... made a sourdough start
... made a thing for sprouts & started mung beans

figured it would be best to start developing these skills soon rather than in the middle of a crisis

never used sprouts but, hey, almost fresh veggies and Vit C
love sourdough and do not want to be running to the store every ~ 3 days, like normal, for fresh bread

oh, made bread in the crock pot, oven element burned out, browned the bread under the broiler ... pretty good for first time if i do say so myself

i write this to put a bug in an ear or two ... if you're going to be doing something new may want to try it out while its still semi-normal

I would love to do this. Where can I find the recipe that you used? Feel free to message me
 Quoting: LeaLea1


for the bread? just the most basic I could find. [link to www.seriouseats.com (secure)]

i skipped the sugar

there's a ton of sites about baking in the crock pot - but do not believe any that say you can skip the 2nd rise ... will not do again

same with the sourdough start ... i bought bleached flour, so I used the rye flour for the start instead ... i just love sourdough rye :)
 Quoting: PO'd


Thanks so much! I made an oatmeal bread several years ago that was delicious but never sourdough.

Yes, yes they are.

As are Hurricanes. And the dreaded Singapore Sling. Both the aforementioned being red in color, I have become very suspicious of any drink that has a red color. Red drinks are treacherous. I avoid them.

Ordinarily, they can give you albuterol sulfate which is a bronchodialator. That will reduce coughing and get your O2 sats up as your bronchial tubes open...albeit temporarily. That is the issue. Temporarily isn't much.

Remember that NY Post link? They are critically SHORT bronchodialator meds.

We are so screwed. I don't want to scare parents tonight. Hard to write this.
