A whole lot better now, just facetimed with her today for easter. She's been out for about 10 days, still not breathing great and bad chest pain but I believe she was told she's clear of COVID and pneumonia at this point. They'll be bringing her in to check her lungs out further once things calm down a bit, hopefully any damage is something the body can repair itself
Hearing the story was pretty crazy though, getting dropped off and not knowing if you'll ever see your family again, you don't even see a human face once you're in there with everyone masked up, she communicated mostly through intercom with staff since they limited exposure time as much as possible. She was definitely super shook up from it all

https://www.rawganique.com/hemp-hooded-sweater-p/knhb1-12wall.htm

have owned three of these hoodies (all black), worn one literally to rags it's a nice layer under a zip up or pull over in the winter and it even works in summer months because the loose knit means lots of airflow
definitely my favourite, also have a hemp spring/summer beanie that can be layered under a toque for added warmth in the winter but the company has expanded since my last purchase 7+ years ago apparently they are even now selling hemp covid masks 
She is not wearing the mask. I would not want her to wear the mask because I would rather she put her tongue in my face. We can always count on Tantrika to post photos of women during all times and situations 
Just to be politically correct though, if she goes outside dressed like that we are all going to die

would not have posted it and prolly just PM'd canna instead but saw they had masks, and know there has been a fair bit of discussion around having masks to protect others when going out so decided to post a link to the website and allow and explore instead
but then became immediately dysphoric and self-conscious for mentioning owning and wearing something marketed "for men" so grabbed their only picture of a woman wearing it to validate myself in my own mind Dx
Mom let me know my cousin has made it home safe from Bali recently she's supposed to quarantine for 14 days after getting back to Canada, hope she and her boyfriend actually do so rather than going and visiting family and friends to talk about the trip

Wow feevers, that pretty fucked up. Glad to hear your cousin is doing much better even. It sounds like she's still feeling rough but is hopefully out of the woods

Here's an interesting and concerning article about immunity from anti-bodies after infection. What do ya'll make of it?

New reports may add another concern: the potential for reinfection. There have been case reports of patients testing negative for COVID-19, but subsequently testing positive
I haven't heard of it happening stateside yet. My very tentative hypothesis is this: those case reports were based on the early S. Korean data where they did a lot of surveillance testing just to learn about the disease. People who tested positive would be subsequently tested several times after testing negative. But the original tests were very innaccurate (I honestly dont know how accurate the new ones are) and a lot of nurses frankly just suck at nasopharyngeal swabbing. So I think maybe the negative tests were just a fluke and they were positive the whole time. Or the original was a false positive and then they actually contracted it.

That's my hope as well. If we can get immediately reinfected without even a few months of immunity then we really will be holding out for a vaccine.
Hopefully we'll have some better tests and studies done on that soon

If the virus doesn’t impart immunity it’s likely vaccines will not work either

how many generations do you think it would take to build widespread global genetic immunity to such a disease?

TheStallionMang said: This kind of bad info should not be spread around. There are other factors that explain why minorities are being infected at higher rates than whites.
They are more likely to work food service or retail jobs which exposes them to more contact with people and Many people working those jobs are still going to work because they are deemed essential workers
It might not be totally bad info. I've been reading that vitamin D might play an important factor in an individual fighting off the COVID19 virus. Lighter skin people can create vitamin D in sunlight much faster than dark skinned people, which might be protecting them more.
There are definitely socio-economic factors at play too, I think.
I do hope the vitamin D thing holds some water because I've started supplementing with hella vitamin D. I have very low levels already though, so it's something I probably should've been doing forever now.
I've also started taking fish oil pills, magnesium, and tumeric, but I'm guessing it'll mostly make me feel better more than anything 
my tendency to sleep during the day and go out for summer nights has meant taking supplements for years interestingly, Vitamin C has been sold out off the shelves for weeks, but Vitamin D just sits there despite social distancing starting in winter months where everyone was indoors or going out covered in layers
can you take hemp seed or hemp seed oil instead of fish oil where you are? seem to recall something about hemp seed oil having the proper ratios for the human body while fish oil has excess of one
I eat about 6tbs of hemps seeds a day in a smoothie. Besides the essential fatty acids, hemps seeds have a great mount of magnesium too! I still think I should use fish oil as well tho. I'm taking 10000 IU of D and about 2-3g of C on an average day. I'm asthmatic, but in the last three years my condition has improved dramatically. I'll go back to 5000IU of D/day once it gets sunnier. After 6 months of 5000IU D daily my serum D was at 48ng/ml. That's almost where I wanted to be but not quite. Some info on D: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2759054

I put a combination of hulled hemp seeds and mustard seeds in my morning smoothie every day along with beets, grapes, blueberries, citrus stuff, bananas, pineapple, carrots, bell peppers, leeks, and other random assorted goodies. putting glycirrhizin and nettle root in it right now as well
I'm convinced it makes a difference. I can eat twice as many calories as I used to without putting on weight. I'm not even working out anymore on quarantine and I'm not putting on weight.
I got my mom and dad started on using it too and I swear it has changed them. My mom had started to seem very sleepy and her memory was going. My dad's energy and mood were getting worse. They are in their 70s. After beginning the daily smoothie they work out every day, seem to be more lighthearted, sleep better, and my dad, for better or for worse, says they're having a lot more sex. My mom has been taking a BP med but it always runs like 115/65 so I think she could back off of it now especially with the daily beets.
A lot of people would still get sick from this even under optimal conditions, but I have a hunch deep in my soul that if everyone had a healthy BMI and people got ample intake of fiber (90%+ people dont meet minimum recommendations and the implications of that are just barely being elucidated) from nutrient-rich plants, the mortality rates would be far lower.

I want to state first that I am not taking an anti-vax position.
But there have been multiple studies showing that a particular SARS vaccine causes a pathological pulmonary IgE response upon re-exposure of the patient to coronaviruses.
Some people may already have whatever immune sensitivity that causes that reaction.
But I'm thinking it's possible that this virus is really just an ordinary coronavirus to most of the population. Make you feel yucky for a day or two, then fine.
This hasn't aged well
