Since a vaccine will be next year I've been looking at other antiviral agents. Lots of herbal medicines have been tested for antiviral effects and some appear effective on the coronavirus family.
Wouldn't that be a wonderful discovery! That these viruses can be successfully subdued with natural herbs.Lots of herbal medicines have been tested for antiviral effects and some appear effective on the coronavirus family.
If you think about it historically most drugs were derived from natural sources then synthetic molecular pharmacology and designer drugs to match receptors, enzymes, etc.Wouldn't that be a wonderful discovery! That these viruses can be successfully subdued with natural herbs.
You think it's clickbait? I suspect something far more nefarious.Fear and paranoia all in the name of clicks! Im not saying we shouldn't be vigilant and take precautions. But the real story is being subdued to sell more advertisements.
Ah the old fear tactic. I know the trick well and am amazed how many people fully embrace the fear instead of seeing it for what it is, a tool for manipulation.
My time is up when it's up, it's not up to me. If I'm using my time here to worry about disease and fear, I'm already dead IMO.
I flat out laugh at stuff they want me to worry about. I see right through it.
I'm not falling for it and neither should anyone else. Your time is up when it's up. Enjoy your time here, don't fear it. Starve the fear and it dies.
I'm completely through with fear and worry. I completely trust the universe...whatever happens...even if it's not "good" for me..
Nice. Thank you.It's a medical fact that you can't be in fear/protection...and growth...at the same time. It's one or the other. Mutually exclusive. Hence the constant diet of fear. Understand this.
My pleasure. I got that tidbit of knowledge from Dr. Bruce Lipton if you want to YT him. Cutting edge type of guy.Nice. Thank you.
(actually the death rate is about like flu in most nations but China)
Yep!!!!!! I "reckon" so too. More people die in auto accidents every year than flu-no one should ever drive an auto again. You'll DIE!!!!!!!!So why is it so different?
Fear mongering is all it is.
Incubation period now tracked as 14 - 24 days. That means that most statistic information is circa 2-3 weeks behind the actual carrier rate.Well I guess for starters it has almost 4x the death rate of the normal flu and an incubation period of up to 14-days.

I'm a fairly pragmatic guy, & certainly not prone to panic or influenced by hype. Aside from the fact our hard won spring / summer gig schedule is now likely trashed, I do have concerns for my own wellbeing. I have a health profile that puts me in a category likely to not do well (understatement) if infected.
I have just cancelled an overseas event for next week (the Netherlands), and probably another one in Vancouver in 6 weeks time.
I am fully prepared for self isolation, as that's my best defence against this virus.
I have good friends in North East Italy who I'm in daily communication with. They're in the middle of a really shitty situation over this. In a very small area, the first case was diagnosed February 22nd, Within 12 days, despite strong containment measures (total lockdown), they had 2,500 confirmed cases and 71 deaths (a higher mortality rate than exampled elsewhere). Most disturbing, younger people with no pre existing conditions have died, although the majority are elderly or otherwise compromised.
I don't think this is a situation to get all wound up about, but nor do I think it's right to pass this off as a comparison to influenza. It is a significant threat, and one all of us should seek to mitigate as far as is reasonably practical.
10s of thousands die of the flu every year, but you never hear about it. Tough to instill fear and blame anyone for the flu, but the beer virus, now that changes everything and if powers at be weren't powers at be, none of this would have happened. I'm so tired of this theme already. I was actually trying to plan a vacation that got sold out. I was really hoping people would cancel, so I can take their place for cheap. It seems people aren't buying it, because literally nothing has become available. Good for them. Now, time to turn off our TVs and hit the drums.Ah the old fear tactic.
