Right and the fact the virus spread through the contact it had with exposed eyes…
Expert says coronavirus is spread through eyes as killer disease 'shuts down China'
Wang Guangfa, who contracted Coronavirus but since recovered, says protective eye wear as well as mouth masks are a must

A top medic who contracted Coronavirus says the deadly respiratory disease is so contagious it can be transmitted through the eyes.
Wang Guangfa, who was a leading figure in helping China fight Sars in 2003, himself caught the virus but has since recovered.
Mr Wang says he believes he became infected because he did not have protective eyewear.
The respiratory specialist at Beijing’s Peking University First Hospital had reportedly been ridiculed in some parts of the media after he contracted the disease despite saying it was “preventable and controllable” two weeks ago.
The expert has now claimed that he may have contracted the disease because of a lack of eye protection when visiting fever clinics and isolation wards in Wuhan, in Hubei province, where the outbreak emerged.
His warning comes as 14 patients tested for coronavirus in the UK were given the all-clear, although checks are now being carried out on more people.
news comes as it emerged doctors treating sick patients are collapsing at work as hospitals become 'overwhelmed' in one city, the Daily Star reports.

I am wondering why we have seen none of them home remedies:
How I Beat the Coronavirus.
1. zinc twice a day.
2. D3 twice a day.
3. big bulk sized vitamin C - chew up a tab ever hour or so
3. Campbells Chicken noodle soup twice a day with 10 shakes of Louisiana Hot Sauce and two Jalepenos.
4. Mucinex
5. robitussen.
6. 4 ounces of pickle juice 3 times a day
You know, something like that.
yes, i know . . . won't work . . . but you could make a million selling pickle juice
don't be mean . . . the government does the same thing with the Flu shot and ya'll gobble that shit up every year

I thought it was very absorbent, not necessarily impermeable.
ETA: Not something I have in inventory. Maybe I'll go to wallyworld, open several types and see if I can breathe through them.

Thank you to all here that have worried and worked tirelessly to offer info and hope. I have run out of hope. The ability to stop or control this thing on a large scale or on a personal scale seems to be like trying to hold a cup of water in your hands without losing a drop, it can't be done.
TPTB must know something we don't or worse and most likely, these are the same brain dead idiots who allow shit on the streets, worship at the alter of all things depraved and are gleeful to kill all of us. I smell a take down of america by the globalist and it seems the cdc is baby stepping us in that direction letting us know early on we will be treated to the same compassion we see in china with a lock down.
Those who survive it will come out of the camps to see a whole new world order has sprung up.
IMHO, this was done on purpose. DJT winning has caused the demonic elite to stomp the peddle to the medal.

I would assume you would insert it into a mask sleeve? I would also assume you would get the kind that isn’t scented. Any more info on this would be great!

Buck up m'dear. At least 98% of infected recover. Anyway, that's how it's looking so far. Should be better data incoming as this spreads out in the population.

Those of you who are simply trying to minimize problems with a disruption in trade in China, are optimist. India, Italy, Korea, and Japan will soon be added to the no travel list. Eventually, most trade between most countries will be shut down. Then trade between states will be shut down. Then trade between cities.

They're made in layers. You'd have to peel apart the layers to keep the filtering part and discard the gel-absorbent part. Question is whether there's stitching that would destroy the integrity as a filtering device. If the gel/absorbent is impregnating the filter material, it's useless.
My first preference was coffee filters, but vacuum bag filters have a lot of appeal. Large pieces that can be pieced out for mask patterns. If I were considering this, I'd be scarfing up all the vacuum bags I could find. Goodwill always has them, and size/model doesn't matter.

Last year I managed to get my BP from 160/105 to 110/70(where it was before I gained the weight back) I lost 30 lbs and it went back to normal. Now, I just don't let it get out of hand.
I also got away from taking antacids. Noticed when I did not take them for awhile, I didn't need them as much. I made a concerted effort to not take them for 2 weeks. That was 2 years ago. I haven't taken them more than 3 times since.
I do take asprin, chrondroitin/glucosamine, and curcumen/turmeric.
My chlosterol is high, but as long as my BP is in order, I don't have hardening of the arteries(according to my cardiologist)
I do try to stay on a Atkins-type diet, so my triglycerides stay low.

Maths: If only 10% get the serious version,which has sometimes happened, at 300 million people in this country and if half of get infected, that's still 15 million people needing serious Care. A post earlier here said there are about 970,000 hospital beds in the US. So that means there is one hospital bed for every 15 people who will need it. That is starting to sound like China.
Do my maths sound correct? Maths is hard! This reminds me of a famous science fiction story called the cold equations. A woman had sneaked aboard a space craft that only had a certain amount of fuel and oxygen. And they literally could not get to their destination with her aboard. The equation showed that there was not enough fuel and oxygen. So someone had to go.

I'm not sure that I agree with the premise of the article that the virus has any effect whatsoever on the actual bacteria.
I read the autopsy report of a COVID victim and here is a basic overview (if you are interested). Note: the picture is from a horse but the function is the same.
The small sacs in your lungs where oxygen and CO2 is exchanged look a lot like this. If you can see, there are two types of cells called pneumocytes. The Type I pneumocytes is where gas exchange occurs--they are very, very thin and gas diffuses across the cell into the blood and vice versa. The Type 2 pneumocytes produce what is called surfactant and, in recovery, differentiate into new type 1 pneumocytes. Surfactant helps keep the alveoli open whenever you exhale. Its like surface tension of water. When babies are born too early these Type 2 pneumocytes are not working well and there is no surfactant. Essentially every alveoli collapses with each breath. Just like when you are blowing up a balloon that first bit is much, much harder to inflate than it is after you have gotten the balloon halfway inflated. Surfactant keeps the alveoli halfway inflated.
This virus attacks these pneumocytes. It damages the Type 1 cells causing them to thicken, swell, and eventually die. The Type 2 cells eventually begin to die as well. As you can imagine these diseased Type 1 cells make it harder to diffuse oxygen. Without type 2 cells your alveoli collapse and it becomes very hard to breath. Physiologically it turns your lungs into those of a premature baby. We treat you the same--steroids, ventilation with positive pressure (keep those alveoli open mechanically!) and high dose oxygen (steeper diffusion gradient).
That is not ALL that this virus does, but it is the mechanism that is most likely to cause death.
That said, get your pneumonia shot. That mess of dead cells, collapsed alveoli is PRIME breeding ground for bacteria that cause pneumonia.
Doc rondaben, what do you think of using a diffuser to deep breath in colloidal silver to kill virii in the lungs. Also, what are the best antibiotics for (if your fish get) pneumonia?

I wouldn't want to destroy the integrity of the layers.
Hell, an absorbent gel might sequester some of the moisture out of your breath?
I've made a quick look for the ASTM specs on that material, looking for airflow characteristics, in particular....no joy.
Walkntrot's blanket statement doesn't ring true to me, now I'm on a mission.

I just found out that our son and dil have come down with the flu! They have been on vacation for a week in the Smokey Mtns. DIL is Japanese, and she got hit with it first! They got back from their vacation Monday. They have isolated themselves at home, but I'm really concerned! I think they plan to tough it out, and try to treat themselves as long as they can, BUT...…...Did I say that I was very concerned?

Excellent!
My dad, who worked in the coal mines, liked to give me tough jobs and say, "I'm making you tough enough to throw chain" (apparently the hardest job in the mines). Truth is his goal was always for me to be educated and never need to work in the mines, and he made sure that happened.
Haven’t tried it, but I saw one guy that was making them out of the high allergen ac filters by using the outer fabric layers. He might have the wuflu by now, but it’s an idea to research further at least.
Honestly I'm not very familiar with colloidal silver. I don't think that it would be a good idea inhale it, however. The thought behind CS is that contact with organisms will kill the pathogen. Topically silver compounds can work very well for this purpose. Viruses, however, typically spend a good amount of their life living INSIDE cells, so there is no direct contact between the CS and the actual virions.
Oral CS can interfere with the absorption of some antibiotics and thyroid and heart medications. I would probably not do oral CS either during an active infection because you do want the antibiotics to work as effectively as possible to prevent an opportunistic bacterial infection on top of the virus.
Its hard to make a blanket statement about what antibiotics would be most effective for your fish. For me, I like to keep Doxycyline on hand. The really good stuff like Moxyfloxacin is only available for humans.

Supply chain issues beginning to hit me personally now, but luckily nothing terribly important (this time). I ordered patio furniture for the new house from Macy's a few weeks ago and just received an email informing me of a (long) delay.
"Unfortunately, we must inform you of an unexpected delay with the receipt of your merchandise from the manufacturing vendor to our warehouse. The anticipated receipt date has been changed to 05/05/2020."
So China expects to be able to supply the furniture by May. Somehow I won't be surprised if the delay lasts a bit longer than that too.....
