Coronavirus - In the DR

[cobraboy]

Memory loss is a serious symptom. Please seek help from qualified medical Doctor http://ny1.dr1.com.do/forums/thread...publican-nomination.93784/page-5#post-1013322 post #97

No doubt there are more examples.

Mods....please call off this dog. The false accusations are "over the line"

Are we to believe that someone who just registered was lurking "NY1.DR1.com" EIGHT YEARS AGO to prove a point?

Really?

Eight years ago?

Hilarious!

We have the local water processor deliver 8 bottles at a time, usually every three weeks. Costs a 5 peso premium, which I am happy to pay.

I tend to get them 5 by 5, well 10 by 10 now covid19 oblige , and 2 packs of small bottles ( they come by 12 ), the lorry stops in front of our house every thursday ( typically i leave an empty botellon outside if i need water ).
I would be happy to pay a 5 pesos premium, but instead i get a 5 to 10 peso rebate ( depending on what colmado u would normally get them ).

Oh well, can't win them all

P.S. the brand is gerico

Is that Cabarete? That's horrible water

Same in Boca Chica. We have bottled water now but it's not always available. I can drink the tap stuff but my kid is afraid of it.

My first trip to the D.R. 26 years ago was to Sosua.
I had a suite on the beach with a kitchen, I drank the tap water.
The staff at the hotel thought I was going to die because I was so sick.

When I went to buy my 2 bottles of water today, the guy ahead of me wanted 4 and they only allowed him 3.

He saw I only had 2 and wanted me to get three with his 4th bottle.
I said: no hablo español in order to put an immediate stop to the request.

I was not going to let him get a 4th bottle and deprive someone after me of getting a bottle.

Gerico, is by far the nicest and most consistent brand, imo.
Probably the most expensive too ( 40 to 50 pesos vs 30 to 40 for other brands depending on the colmado).

I can't imagine it is from cabarete .......
I think its just outside POP heading to navarette.

Ok, not my experience though. That sells for 45 here. International 50

Not sure what your fascination is with McMaster University. It's well know as a fine, world class even, institution and the Doctors and scientists there are well respected. Unlike you they're qualified to solve medical issues.

I have no doubt you know McMaster well.

Do they have any opinion on CV19?

Again it's unclear what you're on about. You lied and I proved it. Just goes to show what a little judicious use of a search engine can find. That this example was older is irrelevant.

You're either a liar or need to seek professional medical help.

Mods, really, why give him free rein?

I pay 50 per 5-gallon bottle delivered. The same water is 45 if we go to the factory or store.

+5 a bottle is a fine bargain considering the time and convenience, delivered to the front gate and brought in by workers, 7-8 at a time. I am totally OK with it, and the factory is a very clean RO facility.

 

[El Rey de Mangu]

"I" make no such claims and of course you cannot justifiably either. Purposely trying to "put words in peoples mouths", spinning and twisting others posts is really at the low end of the scale for "debate" yet it's most of your "toolkit".

If I ever need an example of destructive and dangerous posting yours make fine examples.

Do stop now, these personnal attacks are uncalled for and you're embarassing yourself.

Are you ok H'ouse? I don't see any attacks.

Wow !! I did switch to gerico a couple of years ago, but international was 35 pesos at that time.....
I guess inflation + location.

What you "think" or doubt is irrelevant...especial since you cannot support your position.

Rage Google away...you'll find out all about McMaster lol

It does linger in the back of my head that the just-under-400-pesos i pay for the botellons and the 2x12 small bottle packs doesn't always find its way back to the factory....... lol

But H'ouse, come on that's silly.

You and CB make a fine couple...of feeble attackers

It was 40 ish , I think Plateña sells for 35 in Janet's. Not a fan of that brand either

Damn, no wonder all those people died. The doctors forgot to add the zinc to the cocktail. Too bad they don't read the DR1 forum.

Please provide a credible reference to back up your assertion that this is working all over the planet in a very large majority of cases. And please pay attention to the word "credible" in my request (hint: Fox News does not qualify).

Most here are aware of the difference between "bacteria" and a "virus" and how they are treated. In reference to your "snake oil" analogy I am confused. You should let the Doctors know since they prescribe millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine and the well known antibiotic Azithromycin. Is there a cure for the common cold????? as they say Yes!!, wait two weeks and its gone! During that time do what ever you find best to relieve your symptoms. For me its swimming in the ocean. For others it might be rest and O.J

 

[rhanson1]

Zinc sulfate is a key to the cocktail. In theory, the HCQ open the cell, the zinc entered, slows the RNA reproduction allowing the body's immune system to fight, and the azithromycin helps prevent secondary pneumonia infections because of the suppressed immune system.

This info is out there all over the place if you chose to seek it.

South Korea is touted as being a leader in how the infection is treated. I ask: have South Korean doctors used the HCQ cocktails?

The fact you exclude "Fox News" clearly defines your paradigms and biases.

Wow. Apparently i have stirred up a hornet's nest by having the audacity to post something that contradicts a dogma of the far right. I am really making every possible attempt to keep these posts non-political, but some of you guys make that a real challenge. This should have nothing to do with politics or whether you consider yourself to be liberal or conservative. It should be about proven facts. When I ask you to provide a credible reference for what you are posting, you cannot offer a single one but instead tell me to go find them myself. You claim that the experts from all over the world who are conducting these studies simply don't have knowledge of the people on this forum to mix the right cocktail of drugs. I am sorry if the most recent studies contradict everything that you and others of your political persuasion have been pushing. But the fact of the matter is that I wish you were right. I really do. I wish that hydroxychloroquine was proving to be effective against Covid-19. That would be fantastic. We all had our hopes up for a while. But unfortunately HCQ has repeatedly been proven to have at best no impact on outcomes, and at worse to have a detrimental impact on outcomes. It's not me who is saying that - it's the scientists and the doctors and epidemiologists. I am aware of all the stuff out there on the internet claiming that HCQ is a wonder drug. And I am also sadly aware of how political this topic has become. But unfortunately seeing it on the internet or in a Youtube video does not make it true. Perhaps I should just remain silent and make no attempt to correct obvious misinformation, but I believe that the purpose of this forum is help keep people informed. I'm sorry if my failure to accept Fox News as an authority suggests bias to you. But I would say the same about CNN or MSNBC or any other news source if they couldn't back it up with credible evidence.

And lastly, in response to your statement I should investigate what South Korean doctors have found, I decided to take to your advice. And here's just one example of what I found. It is typical of everything else I have found.

But let's put this argument to bed. There are those on this forum who believe what you are saying, and there are others who believe what I am saying. I think it is apparent that nothing that either of us post is going to change that. I have said what I wanted to say, so I will not be responding to any further silly arguments on the topic of HCQ. The hope for HCQ is dead, and that fact has been accepted by most reasonable people. The rest of you are free to hang on to your beliefs, however misguided they may be. Stay safe and stay well.

From your link:

Though all test subjects recovered from the virus at the end of the study, its experimental limits meant it could not ascertain whether this was the work of HCQ.

And I saw no mention of Z-Pack or zinc, both essential components of the therapy. Did I miss them?
