Soap and water works just as well if not better and does not run the risk of burning the shit out of you. That's true. But if you're not able to wash your hands with soap and water because you have to go somewhere, it's helpful I would assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is heartbreaking, but if you know anyone in an at-risk group who is still stuck in the "it's just the flu" crowd, this might be the best thing you can show them to dissuade them of that. You don't need to know Italian to understand what's going on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could also be just sheer number of younger adults infected, Korea testing everyone shows younger people are most likely to have the virus just least likely to feel worst effects from it.

These officials have emphasized that the virus is spread mainly by people who are already showing symptoms, such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing. If that's true, it's good news, since people who are obviously ill can be identified and isolated, making it easier to control an outbreak. But it appears that a Massachusetts coronavirus cluster with at least 82 cases was started by people who were not yet showing symptoms, and more than half a dozen studies have shown that people without symptoms are causing substantial amounts of infection.

I wonder if this could be part of the link to what they've been finding with people who take blood pressure meds (which have kidney protecting functions). @SaysWho? Paris / Hamburg - Advice and rumors about the influence of certain drugs on a coronavirus infection are currently causing uncertainty. French Minister of Health Olivier Véran wrote on Saturday afternoon via short message service Twitter that anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen could make a coronavirus infection worse. In the case of a fever, paracetamol should be taken, Véran advised. National health director Jérôme Salomon made a similar statement and advised against taking so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In addition to ibuprofen, this group of active ingredients also includes acetylsalicylic acid (ASA; aspirin) and diclofenac Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit from the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) can well imagine that especially ASA, but also ibuprofen, could not be helpful for the lung disease Covid-19. "Ibuprofen inhibits blood clotting, which would be a possible indication," explains the virologist. This increases the risk of internal bleeding. "This is not the case with paracetamol." https://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/inhalt.geruechte-ueber-medikamente-diskussion-um-selbsttherapie-bei-corona-infektion.7321bbd0-0bc4-4d21-b735-9aa54b9643dd.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly stocked but went out a few times for odds and ends yesterday & today to my local store across the street and every time the store became more and more bare. It's kind of nuts because it's not like this is all the food the store will have for 2/4 weeks, there will be plenty of restocking yet people are going crazy to buy up everything. =/ I was mostly stocked on essentials. We've got plenty of dish soap, laundry detergent, cleaning wipes, bleach, stuff like that. Got 5 mega rolls of Charmin left and that should be good for another couple weeks, factoring in the bidet. The store has zero TP, zero dish soap, hardly any laundry detergent, basically no cleaning supplies. We did manage to grab pack of tissues, we were out of those. Eggs, canned goods, meats, bread, all that was decimated. Couldn't find a can of pinto beans for my soup tonight, so I'll just double up on the kidney beans. Just aisle after aisle was decimated. I've never seen anything like it. I was fairly well stocked on most food stuff, too. This shit has just gone way overboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
