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

My son had covid last month. He thought he had already had it without much symptoms because he was around enough people with covid for that conclusion to be reasonable.

Since he thought he'd had it, he left the early treatment meds several hours away. We were figuring out what he could substitute until we could get them to him when we happened on a possible factor for why he caught it this time. Turns out most of the foods naturally higher in querticin were foods he usually ate often but hadn't eaten at all in a few weeks before getting sick. And he had skimped on his walks outside, the weather had been cloudy, and he'd missed some sleep recently.

It probably wasn't any one thing but a combination of some or all lowering his resistance. A heavier viral load or more infectious variant might also be a factor.

My 20 year old soon(ish) to be daughter-in-law who had the high heart rate is being referred to more specialist doctors.

The more generalist doctors thought it was stress/anxiety. The cardiologist thought it might be hypothyroid since T4 was slightly elevated. He also had her wear a heart monitor for several days and ran more tests. He is who has referred her to doctors who are more specialized.

What is querticin? Does it lower inflammation or help your body fight diseases?

It’s one of the recommended supplements to help with Covid

Granted webmd says it doesn’t help Covid, but it have anti inflammatory properties

It is a part of plants (a flavonoid). It enables zinc to enter our cells much more easily than zinc by itself. Having a high enough zinc level is correlated with less effects from covid.

Among the plants with higher levels are apples, onions, berries, cherries, broccoli, green tea, others.

As I understand it, you need to take both the zinc and the querticin (or foods with higher levels of each) at close to the same time to get significant benefit.

It does about the same thing as ivermectin, just not as effectively. And is, of course, a whole lot easier to get in the US. It is used as a preventative and early treatment when it is the option that is available.

Interesting. Also interesting that when covid was surging those foods weren't in season. I also noticed I couldn't buy broccoli plants this year which was disappointing because mine never sprouted

I just heard an interesting statistic on modern marvels. Of the 600,000 deaths in the revolutionary war only 200,000 were killed in combat. The rest died from disease and dysentery. Thank God we now know that you can put a cloth mask over your face to protect you from disease. And why did they continue to carry on with a war instead of locking down in their homes?! Didn't they know how deadly dystentary was? Thank God we now know and we're able to protect ourselves from lung dystentary.

Public health and sanitation have made an enormous difference, along with vaccinations, in life expectancies and survivals. Back then, few understood that clean water and actually having water sources separate from waste disposal mattered, or that boiling water made it safe to drink.
The germ theory of disease is pretty new too!
As this was all sorted out, 'government mandates' made the improvements we all take for granted. Public health rules and regs made the difference here.
My parents remembered cholera, and typhoid, and tuberculosis, now not big problems in the USA. Not to mention 'dysentery', that term for awful often fatal diarrhea.
Off my soapbox now...

I personally believe the mandates did nothing to stop the spread other than fear mongering. Medicine has indeed made wonderful strides since the revolutionary war. There was a time when bathing was considered "out of fashion" (disgusting right?!). What really stops the spread of disease is good hygiene and common sense. Laws stop people that want to do everything right but don't stop the criminals because they do not abide by the law
