Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

[Morrigan]

I've been reading this thread off and on for a while.

I've enjoyed it because, by and large, it is one of the few places I've seen on the internet where people with divergent views on covid, treatments and vaccines could still discuss their difference openly, and mostly politely. These topics have, unfortunately become so polarizing that most groups devolve into an echo chamber of people who all share the same view. I liked that this thread hadn't become that.

In my opinion, Ninja has expressed her views and phrased her questions politely. As a reader, I welcome her viewpoints and those of others, across the entire spectrum of ideas, as long as the tone is polite and does not devolve into personal attacks. These are tough times for a lot of us. We come here looking for support. Please, let's give it to each other.

Thank you. I appreciate you as well. If people dont like my content the ignore function works quite well. Lets all try to remain in the parameters of the rules of use of this site.

Can you elaborate then on the differences? I really want to put this matter to bed. I feel like its been beaten to death.

This wasn't to me but the short version is there is a larger tolerance of variation in any or all of strength, consistency, amount of contaminants, and (probably?) a different list of allowable inactive ingredients for animal versions than for people versions.

Finally got in contact with my dr. Her nurse anyway. She said the drs been backed up on blood work. She said that theyve never been able to tell if someone has covid by the bloodwork. She issued me a once a week vitamin d pill and said shed contact the dr. regarding my bloodwork. She said also that they might have to bring me in sooner based on my numbers or up my medicine. Specifically she said dont freak out and that I'm gonna be fine. Hopefully the vitamin d helps.

Fauci is pushing boosters but Dr. Oz is calling on him to resign for "misleading the public"

"Mehmet Cengiz Öz, known professionally as Dr. Oz, is an American television personality, cardiothoracic surgeon, university professor, and author."

Business Insider

"Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Director of NIAID, oversees research to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases, immune-related illnesses, and allergies."

I know who I will listen to relative to infectious diseases.

It also should be noted that dr. Oz quit his tv show to run for office.

Regardless of how anyone feels regarding these two it appears that dr. Oz is trying to appeal to a certain demographic rather than concerning himself with public health. Either way lets avoid politics. I choose to believe MY doctor because everybody is different and has different health concerns.

Are hand dryers not hygienic? I personally prefer public restroom using Dyson air dryer. I also prefer when both paper towels and air dryer are offered.

Depends on what germs are on the floor or people's hands. Blows the germs all over the place. Of course flushing the toilet spreads e coli 6 to 8 ft.

Loud, time consuming, wasteful and no towel to open the door with.
I find wiping my hands on my jeans much more convenient. IMHO
