Thank you for sharing. Ironically, a week ago started taking Quercetin 250mg BID along with eating more zinc rich foods in my diet. Also, for those interested quercetin is a zinc ionophore, i.e., helps transport zinc across cell membranes.
I remember hearing about quercetin a while back. Have you done any research on it, so that you can recommend specific brands or formulations? I know for some supplements it matters what type of preparation or source is used (for instance there are different formulations of vit D).
Quercetin dihydrate with Bromelain. I got mine at my local The Vitamin Shoppe. Bromelain helps with absorption. On a side note, my allergies have improved since taking it...yay.
Terdro needs to go
The population density of NYC and most areas in N.J. is far greater than California by far... as populated as California is we are for the most part living right on top of each other... Just look at the 50 mile radius around us...I think both Murphy and Cuomo have done a good job ...Di Blasio not so much so ... Di Blasio waited too long ... he is a poor manager who neglected to enforce restrictions on a city where it could have been life saving... the guy is a political hack.
That is consistent with what I've been reading and is what is stated in the treatment protocol from the Norfolk Va area hospital. It must be tough though when the ERs and ICUs get overwhelmed and there isn't enough time/manpower to do much other than intubate and move on to the next person.
Good to know. Generally like to get as many vitamins/minerals from foods rather than supplements with some exceptions...especially if it's not a brand I trust or am familiar with because I don't think the supplement industry is that well regulated IIRC.
Yep, testing is questionable but we should see a leveling off of the number of people winding up in the ICU, on ventilators, etc. Seems like that is happening in NYC at least...hopeful.
DiBlasio looks very bad because his encouraging of the chinese celebration looks to be a political reaction to Trump's chinese travel ban.
I think the social distancing practices is clearly showing results in NYC.
Di Blasio is a hack... the fact remains that as the mayor in one of the largest cities in the world he should have erred on the side of caution...he didn’t... even after issuing his emergency edict he allowed large groups to congregate and mingle together... Kumbaya attitude... for someone who claims to be such a proponent of the working poor mayor Di Blasio is only a paper tiger in reality... truth be told he only got elected because nobody came out to vote ...
It's a good point. There were posts recently that even said in NJ, still, they're reporting cases / test results from 7 days ago.
Biggest cry babbies you will ever see.
I'm surprised i haven't heard the pulmonary edema comparison more. That's a good one. Also, do you dial up the PEEP to minimize the pressure support? It must be a difficult challenge finding the sweet spot with so much pathophysiology this disorder brings.
I read an article about this and it seemed like it was an opt-in app. If that's true there isn't a privacy issue.
The state's also don't have the international intel to know.
Di Blasio looks bad I agree.
How could the social distancing not be working? As opposed to normal everyday NYC? It has to. Logic backs up the #'s.
The downplaying of the "federal government" was because of the medical experts IN the "federal government"... they were downplaying it.
I wonder if it would simply be easier to go right to the antibody test, especially since we know the PCR viral test is not particularly sensitive, meaning people with low, but non-zero viral loads will still be donating, even if they have negative viral tests
If you are starting from a point of an infected population that has not practiced social distancing for weeks(if not longer) then it would follow that social distancing would lead to decreased cases over time.
Both of you have valid points. Cases should be going down because of distancing, and probably are, however, there's no way to tell how widespread infection still is without more testing. Drive thru testing sites are still limited to a few hundred a day, and only for those showing symptoms that are serious enough to concern medical professionals. So that potential number of infections reported in NJ are kind of capped by the number of tests processed per day. My cousin just recovered from the virus after 11 days in the hospital. My uncle tested positive as well, but was at home. My aunt and other cousin showed some symptoms, but were told that they weren't serious enough to test, but should assume they have it. Their numbers do not get included in the daily report of new cases.
I found that link while trying to search for existing receptor site research. I found some articles that led to that site. It has been a long time since my days on the bench but truth be told I miss it badly. Sure I moved out and up and made plenty of money but the most enjoyment/satisfaction I had in my career was on the bench.
