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

I have no idea what you're talking about with "perceived agendas".

Conclusions that preclude the possibility of any other fact or outcome. Realistically we can spout all that we want about the present situation, but the fact remains that what we are dealing with is an uncharted situation. To continually spout information as fact is a perceived agenda.

Well said Sour. You have more energy than I do. Stay healthy.

My cousin just posted this ...

But what if you don't have NetFlix? I don't have cable ... zheesh ... we can't even watch TV - no reception. Our television is basically just a movie screen. I guess it's a good thing we have a big library of DVD's on hand ... and we don't mind reruns ...

Glutathione's (GSH) role in immunity. The author seems to be recommending glutathione suppositories, which I can't speak for. Do your research before buying. I take N-acetyl-cysteine supplement, which is one of the 3 glutathione building blocks: cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid; the latter two seem to be pretty prevalent in a healthy diet.

ACK!!! I've already had all this Covid 19 stuff shoved up my proverbial hind parts. I don't think I could handle gluts up my gluts, as well ...

RE: weighted blankets-
For the maximum benefit a weighted blanket should ideally be up to about 10% of the users body weight. Too heavy is, as some have found out, uncomfortable. That's not to say a really heavy blanket may not bring comfort to some but generally the percentages should be of a lower balance. A 6lb to 15lb blanket for the average adult can bring comfort without feeling unduly heavy.

For my son, who is about 125 lbs, he found the weight of the blanket (even a 6lb one) spread over his body was annoying to his feet and lower legs, however the target of having weight (pressure) on the body is still beneficial if one can focus the weights on the larger muscle groups like the back, shoulders, and thighs, which is what we do. Pressure on the larger muscle groups is the target of weighted blankets or weighted items like vests, which is about soothing the body's sensory system.

A smaller weighted blanket as a lap blanket is beneficial too, both as a lap blanket or even spread over the upper body while sleeping. So, if you don't have a weighted blanket you can fold a heavier blanket and place it over the larger muscles of the body for some benefit.

Disclaimer: Not a doctor and no, weighted items don't work for everyone.

There's beginning to be serious talk about this lockdown lasting far longer than the few weeks - and not just on the grapevine. It's starting to show up in official feeds. I work in the public school system. Even if I get it and recover, schools will stay minimal, if not closed. We won't starve, but how am I going to pay my mortgage?

Successfully navigating uncharted situations requires considering and examining ALL facts.

Finally something that I can agree with.

What in the world have I said that you wouldn't agree with? Building up immunity? There may be other co-factors involved with this disease that aren't being considered yet? My humor? I can't think of what else I've said apart from these.

Oh yeah I've suggested that it's not wise to sacrifice the entire country for the sake of a few, who won't be saved anyways if the country falls apart.
