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

I sadly note that Tony Fauci is no longer part of the daily Coronavirus updates.

Sadly, he was a wee too honest with the public about reality.

Hey FC I've been doing some reading about Nutritional yeast. I was looking for baking yeast and realized the other stuff was there. What do you use it for? The purpose? How does it taste?

I use it so that I can get all my B supplements because it has a lot of vitamins in it.

I sprinkle it on potatoes, vegetables, I make mac and cheese with it, I put it on pasta... There are many uses for it.

It tastes like a nutty cheese to me. It's like a flaky nutty cheese and it is very very good.

You can also sprinkle it on popcorn after you put butter on it so delicious.

I buy a pound of it on Amazon every month and it usually lasts me the entire month because I'm the only one who eats it. I usually do one to two tablespoons a day.

As a nurse, this is NOT GOOD! We need him desperately to be the voice of REALITY, because right now we're getting a lot of misinformation.

died after ingesting chloroquine phosphate.....

Well I wonder where he got the idea?

Who has been on TV promoting this as a possible treatment?

I am just sick about this, but not surprised

Stupid people do stupid things. People have been using fish antibiotics to treat themselves for a long time. Preppers promote this practice saying it's safe. My guess is the bottle says not to drink it. They are not the same thing and those people either knew that or natural selection played a part.

Thanks. Ironically my son brought me some to make bread saying, "Mom I don't know what you're talking about they had a lot of yeast!" and bam on the counter is a container of that stuff. I laughed so hard! Kid doesn't want to take it back so I'm stuck with it, might as well make use of it.

I'm not a nurse and I know that! I felt INFORMED when he was on talking about all of this. Now I feel more in the dark than ever.

As a nurse, I still feel bad for these misinformed people, it's tragic.

That's hilarious. When you're vegan most vegan stuff is in stock when crisis hits. I've never been more happy to be vegan. I can live off veggies, but people who are omnivores can't for long periods of time. I feel bad for low carbers.

I'm growing veggies and herbs so I don't have to worry constantly about the grocery store not having specific things I need.

This short video sheds some interesting insight regarding the virus mutating now and differing disease statistics in different areas of the world:

 

[HenOnAJuneBug]

In several regions they stopped lab-testing on the virus. They know the symptoms well enough now to start immediate treatment.

The symptoms are identical to TB and vaping illness (EVALI), as well as pneumonias caused by other things. Not testing artificially inflates the number of cases.

Good gravy, it took me quite awhile to catch up from last night. Massachusetts has been asked to shelter in place, not ordered. Essential businesses remain open. No gatherings of more than 10 people. Over 2/3 of people in Massachusetts with coronavirus are under the age of 60. So don't think you are immune. I think finger pointing and arguing over who did what or who didn't do what is counter productive at this point. Take a breath and remember to take this one day at a time. For those of you with access to Television, and / or internet (ahem) Boston PBS is streaming educational programs for kids. There are other options rather than parking them in their rooms with video games. Many museums and public zoos offer a stream of their art displays and animals. Most localities will allow taking walks. We are all adjusting to this new (temporary) normal together so lighten up on yourselves and keep on getting creative. But please be aware of scammers.
