I just had a conference call with someone from India this AM and they just came off a 10 day lock down in her province....was told no more lock downs.

Picked this up from Amazon for $7 w/free 1-day Prime delivery. Placed it over my mouse pad - we'll see how it goes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MDJFWH1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Let us know. I'm really curious!

Ok, Mr. Doomsday.

Yes, very promising. This is also the new mRNA-based vaccine as well. Will be really interesting to see the efficacy of this vs. the traditional vaccines.

Sounds too convincing to be a placebo effect.

New study starting to properly test the impact of inhaled steroids as C19 treatments. Really interesting and promising. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200707/Asthma-inhalers-being-trialed-for-treatment-of-COVID-19.aspx

That's likely part of it. Hoping the weaker mutation is real like that Italian virologist suggested.

Finger prick?

I would argue that a mask helps the wearer just as much as it prevent them from touching their mouth, nose, even rubbing eyes - main virus entrances.

Sounds like a nice balance.

An antibody test wouldn't be as effective so close to the actual illness. I've seen recommendations taking it 2 weeks after symptoms disappear.

Where can one get an antibody test for COVID?

Regarding grounding, here's a cool 'grounded' mouse pad. Simple way to get some free electrons while on the computer.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNG6MRK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3M23BJZDZS43T&psc=1

If this were happening to a significant amount of relatively healthy people, I'd be more concerned.

I do. Very nice on those cooler summer nights. Used a grill cover on it for the winter...put the grill in the garage.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/ I think there's another I posted a couple pages ago...didn't read through them all, but there is some interesting data. We know that inflammation is a significant contributor to may health issues.

Breastfeeding is such a good thing for infants - this being one of those! We've experienced the same with multiple kid and the Croup & RSV. Babies had minimal symptoms and quick recoveries.

Yup, BIG difference between CBD and THC. Not molecular, but the way it binds to our CB1 receptors causing the psychoactive effects. I'm all for medical use of CBD oil, but there's no medical need for THC.

Promise to keep posting model runs here in the winter.

"There have been no new cases of the novel coronavirus among the hundreds who flouted social distancing guidelines and attended pool parties at Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend, a state health official said this week." Could be something to the whole outside, pool, beach thing...

If this mutation is real, I think we all can hope it's happening everywhere...

Great news: https://www.foxnews.com/science/moderna-positive-phase-i-data-potential-coronavirus-vaccine The Phase I trial of mRNA-1273 saw all patients receive a 25 microgram, 100 microgram or 250 microgram dose. Fifteen patients were in each group and those who participated in the study received two doses of the potential vaccine via an injection in the upper arm, 28 days apart. At day 43, the group that received 25 micrograms, saw the same level of antibodies as people who had recovered from the disease. At day 43, the 100 microgram dose group saw levels of antibodies that "significantly exceeded the levels" seen in those who had recovered from the disease, the company added.

Operation Warp Speed. Let's do this... Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said earlier this month that it was "doable if things fall in the right place" to have a vaccine by January.
