I LOVE this man! He does the research and speaks the truth. Xxxoooo
Yes, agree. He has made a name for himself and his following has exploded as he is one of few. I'm glad that someone here found him and Dr. Sheuhutlz (sp?) and we are following both of them on the threads.
Very good articles, thank you for finding them. Those figures that just 2 weeks ago many us us questioned, are real as to the Imperial College of London saying it's 3x bigger than we think. I've seen both Drs, iirc, state that the Imperial College is the best of the best when it comes to stats. I've tried to read those actual papers... wow! The math that they do is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy above my level of understanding. But they have been spot on.

16 laying hens, 20 laying ducks and 2 laying geese should keep me in eggs as a fail safe for food. We will stock up on as much feed as I safely can. I don’t want the mice getting to it by storing it anywhere but my feed room. Again, lesson learned in Harvey, generally only keep a weeks worth of feed on hand.
going to make one more trip to the grocery for the basics. As long as we have electricity I can bake bread. Need to fill up all the gas cans and plan on keeping the cars full or no less than half for the generator.
2 weeks of non perishable rations for two people if we manage to eat the rest of the food in the house. I grew up very poor with very little food in the house. Keeping the pantry and freezers full is my thing. Fed 4 of us for two weeks during Harvey and it barely put a dent in it. Fresh fruit and veggies were an issue so I’ll stock up on some frozen. Again hopefully their is no issues with the power. There will always be eggs and if I have to I do have male birds I can harvest.
I have ~90 rolls of toilet paper in the house now too..lol.
Do you have a partridge in a pear tree also?
Oh I think it’ll happen, moo, but we will see. I didn’t get out of my Sunday jammies today for nothing, I’ll tell you that!
I had to get outta mine to do my pre "P" shopping! I spent $422.00,
and wouldn't you know it, I was 5 minutes late to buy wine. They wouldn't let me purchase my winnnnnnnnnnnnne! So I whined and whined and whined to no avail. My receipt is literally 3 feet long
Y'all beat me on the amount of toilet paper, as I only got 56 rolls.

Therefore anyone who had been in close contact with someone within 48 hours of them being confirmed as infected should put themselves in isolation for 14 days, he said.
Well, those of us who have been following know this is incorrect. It may take a very long time to be "confirmed" as in China, that takes a positive test (which takes a long time of being sick to even get that in China, and days elsewhere) and symptoms. And on top of that, so many asymptomatic patients (or...were they
a la the crew on the ship which was an astonishingly 90% asymptomatic
)
Ha, Japan is just like the US and other media, they pick up on another's news story and reprint it as their own with the same language. It was just submitted today as theory... I'll wait iykwim on the rest when reviewed by outsiders iykwim.
Yes, fever is good. It is natures way of telling the body to fight, it is a feedback mechanism with the hypothalmus to "do it's thing" to activate all the cells to attack, produce antibodies etc, and also raises the temp to the level that is just higher than many viruses and bacteria like. Many virus and bacteria can't replicate at higher temps than the normal body temp. It's a low grade fever, not one in the "danger zone". Dr. Sch... and the other doc iirc have both spoken of. Dr. Sch... did quite a lengthy informational youtube on it. If you take near the beginning, it actually has a more negative outcome for the patient per the Lancet article also. The fever should break on it's own. (as our grammas told us to do!) It was pointed out earlier that those folks on the ship and others who may take anti-pyretics may have negatively affected the course of their infection in doing so. An adult should not take such with a viral infection. (Nor a bacterial infection unless to a danger zone) Also, as we have seen, diseases are harder to diagnose if the symptoms are covered up, such as fever.

@jjenny already did an excellent link for when to treat a fever

There are a TON of stock pilling lists on line. 3 day, 1 week, two week and on and on.
This thread will quickly go off topic if we get into that.
Maybe a moderator could start a new thread for suggestions for items to purchase when this is declared a pandemic? That would be fabulous.
We have a resources thread that already exists that would be perfect to place there?

I haven’t heard too much in the past about “cleaners/janitors” AND other patients being cross infected. Is this something that happens frequently and we just don’t know about it? Maybe it does...I think this bug is contagious as Fudge.
Oh yes, it happens regularly. Between 5 and 10
percent of all patients contract at least one
hospital-acquired infection—also known as a healthcare-associated
infection or
nosocomial infection—during their stay in an acute care hospital, and many are antibiotic resistant unfortunately.
