The virus is real and a threat, but the issue is how much. Not equally to everyone per CDC data.

Terribly. It was my mother. Thank you for bringing that back.

Things to do when you're stuck at home because the world is going crazy over Coronavirus.

Exactly right. Also why they'll probably never ban menthol cigarettes. Alcohol abusers are much more prone to coronavirus because alcohol depletes the lungs' primary antioxidant that protects against viral infection. Seems counter-intuitive, but alcohol abuse causes a condition called...

Don't believe anything that comes out of China. They are the kingdom of Mordor.

Oh no, another young person dies of coronavirus! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52041709 Oh no, another case of panic-driven BS https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/27/chloe-middleton-death-21-year-old-not-recorded-nhs-covid-19-related

I think it depends on what you vape. Most cases of vaping illness have been in THC vapers, about 80% I think. The remainder must be getting products contaminated with something. Vaping quality regulation is non-existent in the US.

Some guy said when he got his blood tested it was the only test he's ever gotten an A+ in.

I've read about other old people surviving it OK, but 102 is amazing.

Oh by the way, @Kiki. I think I mentioned something to you about vaping in the addiction thread. I'm so sorry for recommending that to you. I had no idea.

I will, and you can stop your annoying comment now, thank you. It was funny the first time, now it's just annoying.

Calcium channel blockers (CCB) control hypertension, too, and don't have the same effect on ACE2 that ACE inhibitors have. CCBs are the primary hypertension treatment in east Asian countries. If I was taking an ACE inhibitor, I'd tell my doc to put me on a CCB just to be on the safe side.

Yeah it's super scary. I feel so sorry for people who vape thinking it's safer or healthier than cigs. I used to think so. Boy was I wrong. Cigs can take a lifetime to kill a person, but vaping can do it in a few months if you get the wrong stuff.

ACE inhibitors and ARBs are taken for diabetes, hypertension and some other heart ailments. They cause an increase in the ACE2 enzyme in the lungs, which is what the coronavirus attaches to to infect a cell. Both China and Italy found that hypertension and diabetes are high risk groups for...

Sometimes young people die. I wonder if she was checked for "the great masquerader"? Probably not. Misdiagnoses can be fatal. Like this girl who was only 12 years old https://www.simplemost.com/sepsis-deaths-teenagers/

Don't be naive. Big pharma shelled out $2.8 billion for TV ads in 2018. Networks aren't going to report on anything that big pharma doesn't want them to..

Do you know if the co-worker takes an ACE inhibitor? I read a comment from someone who thought it peculiar that the side effects of ACE inhibitors and symptoms of CV are very similar; loss of taste is one of them.

Cool. Glad to hear it.

Vaccines and natural immunity concern a different part of the immune system. Things like vitamins C & D are part of the innate immune system (non-specific). Antibodies are part of the adaptive immune system (pathogen specific). Both work together.
