At least you finally admit you are Apos/Polar Bear.Talk about nonsensical posting. Did you even know what wampum was before you posted it? No doubt your googlin it now LOL and you may even see that what you wrote makes no sense at all. Seems I'm always on your alleged mind
I can hardly wait to see an original, factual and worthwhile post from "The King"
You're welcome for the "earworm"
Not that anyone is surprised.
Eventually, truth out.
Interesting comprehension skills.
Repetition of something does not make it the truth.
Nice to be thought of but at some point, that we're well past, it just becomes creepy.
I have hope that the mods will eventually deal wit you

I think maybe the heat does help fight it. I had asma as a kid but it went away during the years doing sports especially swimming. Playing football (soccer) in the cold gave me some bad attacks. Then again I experienced it a couple of times as an adult in Copenhagen jogging in the cold outside. I remember seeing a doctor about it again and I got that spray for asma but then hardly used it. I never had it down here in the Caribbean and never either when exercising. Then I went to a party in Denmark a few years ago in March and stupidly walked outside in the cold and not enough warm clothes on. I had a terrible cough for several days afterwards. Something I never get here. Could it be possible that the heat protects the lungs.
Maybe it is a little bit comforting to know, but some of the strange symptoms like the rush are not that seldom in illnesses. I had a horrible bacterial pneumonia with very high fever for over a week and my xray showing inflamation even a month after the fever was gone and during 2 month I was still unable to to anything else then sit in the garden. And most interesting and not widely known, that bacteria comes with a rush as additional symtom, which is often overlooked.
some of the strange covit-19 symtoms are not that strange in pneumonias as unfortunately I can tell you. Damages in My lungcan still be seen in xray and I have permanent reduced lung capacity. Dont need covit to run into those issues.
By the way this was in the middle of the summer heat and it was a local epedemia. I dont belive in the "heat helps" camp...i think yes UV helps to decompose the virus outside but anyone breathing or sneasing in your face and you are done regardless heat or UV.

Did you test positive for the virus? I saw you had a rough time, bit I didn't see about the test?
Yes, the heat helps eliminate the virus ---- but only when not on/in the host.
Surface are less contaminated more quickly - nothing to do with people being infectious
they are still just as dangerous
I asked the doctor if I was tested and she said that they had no testing equipment. The chest xray and blood tests and my symptoms were the best they could do. I am pointing out that it is not just a fever and cough like the flu but there are other symptoms showing up. I didn't think that my rash and stomach and heart problems were associated with the virus but apparently it is bad if you get these.
BTW people are dropping like flies in my neighborhood. One old lady downstairs got carted off in the ambulance and I was surprised when she came back a few days later. The ambulance picked someone up last night. This is also the first time I have seen a hearse in this country.
I would like to say that I am impressed with the professionalism in the hospital. I got wheeled around and treated well by everyone.My Humano insurance was accepted and my co-pay worked out at about 6 bucks for everything.

Don't claim Victory yet
Are you a smoker? High blood pressure, sugar, etc? Comorbidities?
None of that. Just had bacterial infection of the lung without prior conditions. What happened was that I got antibiotics which did not help (was an atypical very small bacteria not usual suspect in pneumonia and not reacting on penecilin and co but known for rushes and possible neurological damage) on that specific bacteria - until I got the correct ones the damage was done. There is more weird stuff out there, its not just the virus.... Now I would count as covit-19 problem case because of my lung damage from the pneumonia, should I catch the virus.

Arme Länder kopieren die Corona-Strategie von reichen. Das könnte ein großer Fehler sein
Auch in Ländern wie Indien oder Bangladesch müssen Menschen zu Hause bleiben. Dabei gäbe es eine bessere Strategie, sagt Yale-Ökonom Mushfiq Mobarak

Unfortunately its in German, but this is really interesting for DR. Its an analysis that copying the measures of the rich countries to combat the virus may be a big error for developing countries.
It makes the case, that flattening the curve makes no sense when then health system anyway is in overload even on a good day, there is no chance of ever doing enough tests. the population is younger and that the damage to the society by closing the economy is so much bigger then in the rich nations, as such resulting in possible more death.
This is of course open for discussion, as I am still of the opinion doing a very early short but extremely strict lock-down for one month would limit the bad impact as well as solve the problem. However, as this was not done its now too late and the strategy mentioned in the article maybe the better option.
I've seen no mention of hydroxychloroquine on this thread for a while, so I am hopeful that this dangerous nonsense about it being a cure for Covid-19 has finally been put to bed. Numerous members of this forum have been pushing hydroxychloroquine as a cure for Covid-19 based solely on testimonial videos from quack doctors and a certain President. Results released from studies all over the world in the past couple of weeks have proven that hydroxychloroquine has no benefit whatsoever in curing Covid-19 or reducing symptoms. In fact many deaths have been caused by the experimental administering of this drug. And the latest results from an extensive study by the U.S. Veterans Administration comparing Covid-19 patients who were given HCQ with patients who were not given HCQ showed that those patients who were given HCQ had a death rate more than double that of those who were not given HCQ. This tends to confirm results from a recent French study showing that HCQ actually accelerated the death of Covid-19 patients.

I can provide links for numerous other scientific studies with the same results if anybody is interested. But I am hopeful that we can all put this dangerous HCQ nonsense to bed. There are indeed many drugs that offer promise for reducing the symptoms of Covid-19, but hydroxychloroquine is not one of them.
Hydroxychloroquine as treatment for COVID-19 shows no benefit and more deaths in VA study
President Trump has frequently touted the malaria drug as a potential breakthrough in the ongoing coronavirus fight.

I have not read one person say hydroxychloroquine was a "cure", rather a treatment to buy time so the body can catch up. Tylenol is not a cure either , however it is prescribed to assist in lowering very high fever. All are weapons in the arsenal Doctors have to fight the virus. Politicizing the virus and treatment is worse than not washing your hands after going to the supermercado
Statistical findings of a survey just released by Stanford University just found out that the Santa Clara real infection rate is 50 to 85 times higher than official published positive cases. The Stanford University estimated there were up to 81000 positive cases first days of April compared to 900+ reported based on a randomized study. Most of the tested (tested for antibodies) had no signs or symptoms of coronavirus, which means they are asymptomatic and passed through the viral stage without even being aware of it. That would bring the reported death rate to about 0.12%.
