Coronavirus

[hockeyfan1]

Did you actually read the article because your conclusion and what the authors advocate and discuss are not remotely in line with where you are trying to peddle it

Just what misinterpretation are you alluding to?


The conclusion at the end of the article concludes and summaries the findings of the observational study.  The conclusion speaks for itself.

If I'm reading the article correctly, the vitamin injections are being used to treat a byproduct of the infection in the very ill -sepsis. It's not being used as any other benefit that I could ascertain, and yet it takes careful reading past the sensationalist headlines to actually get any valid information.

It's these sort of articles that infuriates me, because they're manipulative, and often quoted with an agenda.

What agenda?  Did you actually comprehend anything of value of what was stated?

Seriously ill patients, yes seriously ill patients and who isn?t critically ill from Coronavirus and in the ICU.  At least steps are being taken in a new direction with this experimental cocktail of a treatment which also includes the usage of anti-malarial and anti-virals.  Furthermore, it should come as no surprise that Vit C can act both as an anti-viral and anti-bacterial manner in conjunction with a proper administration of therapy/treatment.  This has long been studied in natural medicine circles.

The idea of boosting the immune system thus uplifting the state of the patient due to nutritional deficiencies makes perfect sense.

A little bit of hope can go a long way to helping the hopeless.  It?s wonderful that traditional mainstream and non-traditional medicine come together for the betterment of humanity in the face of this insidious malady.

No one is professing cure with one method alone.  It takes an amalgam or a multi-faceted approach (even in the realm of ?experimental?) to tackle the issue at hand.  The fact that the above was first tried in China successfully and being replicated in part here shows a diversified approach does indeed work.

1)The article is based on an old vaccine that we don't use anymore with the >65 crowd
2)The article was designed to highlight that a targeted vaccine program focused on the over 65 isn't sufficient to protect the >65 crowd.  It fails to meet levels for herd immunity making the targeted vaccine program insufficient when directed at the >65 crowd.  The point of the article was to indicate a wider immunization program, not to point out the ineffectiveness of the vaccine.

Alright. Unless it's coming from the WHO, CDC, or PHAC please refrain from posting medical advice. That's that.

This includes, but is not limited to, alternative forms of medicine and anything even remotely anti-vaxxy.

Keep your Vitamin C recommendations for your Facebook friends.

Deleted everything after this, both in support of and against it.



There are other places on the internet to discuss this stuff, please go elsewhere to dicusss it.

Thanks.

Just wanted to ask, what is everyone doing while at home during these heady times?  I know some of you have probably been watching some sports classics.  The Raptors platpyoff games leading up to their championship win are particularly refreshing. 

Me?  Watching t.v isn?t really my thing unless there are programs that interest me.  I?ve been on my computer, iPad with tutorials on card making (paper crafting).  Cricut Joy, anyone? Ladies?

P.S.  Thought I?d post this as a diversion to the mundane.

Still working from home so I don't have a ton more time than usual except maybe on the weekends. Haven't really done much yet but Im playing more video games to take my mind off things at the moment. Will probably start playing more guitar. Gonna try my hand at baking bread tomorrow and maybe try to learn how to use my Instant Pot properly [emoji23]

Oh, and avoiding No Frills. Went to the one at 401/Dixon today because they said it had more items available for online purchase but the place is a zoo! [emoji51]

Gonna try my hand at baking bread tomorrow

I started baking bread about a month before this all started.

It's very easy.

Do you have a method/recipe? I'm thinking of using my instant pot to help proof the bread quicker.

I use a stand mixer and loaf pans.

I don't remember which specific recipe I used, there are so many out there but the rough process I used was:

Dry active yeast and sugar in warm water in the bowl of my stand mixer, let it stand until the yeast bubbles.
Add flour with salt to the bowl and mix with the dough hook.
Add flour as necessary
When the dough is kneaded, transfer it to a lightly oiled bowl turn the dough over to coat the dough in oil
Cover and let rise for 60-90 minutes.
Transfer to loaf pan and let rise covered for another 30 minutes
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

Again, just a rough process and there are so many recipes out there to get propotions ingredients

It has really been interesting to see how many people are baking right now.  You can?t find flour in any of the grocery stores in my area.

It?s best to use coconut flour instead of regular white flour, unless one opts for unbleached white flour.  Those who may have slight GI tract problems or need to whenever possible eat gluten-free would stand to benefit from flours other than wheat or white.

Coconut flour, almond flour are quite common.  Coconut flour is lighter and thus a little more digestible than almond.  There?s also Quinoa, hazelnut, rice, and some others.

Just wanted to give out some tips for a more nutritious bite.

Ditto, been making half a bag last for regular cooking.  Bread is out of the question. Would be a great thing to do with the kids, but no flour or sugar for a while now.  Grocery store says they get it in small batches and it sells immediately.

I've always used baby wipes to clean laptop screen, iPhone screen etc. Son mentioned rubbing alcohol a while ago to me, but to not spray it on the device, instead spray it onto a microfibre cloth and wipe device with that. (my phone's older, not waterproof so...)

and not to use those Lysol or Chlorox wipes on them.

I used to work at Bulk Barn as a teenager briefly. They get loads of shipments, and flour comes in bulk bags of 40kg. I'd give them a call if you need baking supplies

Just a note. The dough will rise better in a warmer then room temp environment. You can leave it on top of the stove vent, usually back right burner, with the oven on low to generate heat.

Is Bulk Barn open? The bulk section (candy and nuts mostly) in my grocery store has been shut down.

They're open (with reduced hours, looks like 10am-6pm) but have workers doing all the scooping for you, something grocery stores probably can't handle. Although I was at a Fortinos yesterday and the bulk section was still open there.
