Well crap. Just lost internet. Lost cable TV feed. Posting this over my hotspot on my smartphone. Hope this outage doesn't last long.

WHO Director-General says: The pandemic is accelerating. It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases and just 4 days for the third 100,000 cases. :shocked:

We have our first confirmed case of Covid-19 now in Taney county (Branson, Mo. area). Apparently a resident who travels a lot and brought it back with them. Nice huh. The Mayor is having a big meeting.

Amazon is out of the zinc I've been taking
Amazon.com: Nature's Way Zinc Lozenges, with Echinacea and Vitamin c 6 Count Packages (Pack of 3): Health & Personal Care

So I searched on zinc in my orders and found
Amazon.com: U-Turn - M8-1.25 x 2 mm Hex Flange Bolt Din 6921 1.9 Zinc Yellow (1 Pack): Industrial & Scientific

Do y'all think one of those would do : ( )

Well, you could stick your tongue in a ZN bath at a plating plant . . .

Ya sure locknut? I guess it does not hurt unless you take too much of it . . . :confused3:

The Chloroquine and HydroxyChloroquine help shuttle Zinc into the cells. Zinc interferes with/stops the viral RNA transcription inside the cells and halts the proliferation of the virus. Provided the diet is sufficiently high in Zinc this will be an effective treatment.

Nothing. BUT the concentration of the virus would be so low as to not cause an infection. Not just one virus is gonna get ya. People are not contracting this infection from breathing air. They are mostly getting this virus from close contact with others. AND mostly being in contact with other family members

Doesn't the virus replicate inside the body? So one little virus that has traveled miles, finds a host, could eventually grow into a full-fledged infection? :confused3:

UT OH the corona is now hitting close to home, as of last week only half the workers are showing up and BIW is still not going to shut down we was told it's due to national security, maybe but today and for the next few weeks they are giving the ones that show up free lunches, I had turkey sandwich and chips, not bad!!!

2Lane, what are your thoughts? We are very much the same mind set . . . I know what my thoughts are "be careful" with one's self medicating.

We have to question the validity of that "six feet distance" everybody is quoting. If somebody with the virus is outside and sneezes what would prevent the virus from going miles?!

Technically yes, but it is so diluted with the surrounding air that the risk is extremely low. At 6 feet it is "believed" (but not proven) that the infection risk drops precipitously due to the relatively low concentration in the surrounding air. What I don't know is how much concentration is actually needed to infect someone. You'd have to find a virologist to answer that question.
