The Old Folks Home

So tired of bugs! Tomorrow I am going to have to spray that coop for the third time! Like I need extra work to do!
The weather is supposed to turn cooler here after the tropical storm moves through. I'm going to hold out for then and then clean the coop. Hopefully my back will be on friendlier terms with me by next week. Then I need to Ivermectin the birds when I clean.

For flies I use a liquid bait that you put in a pop bottle type trap. The stuff smells like rotted meat. Really nasty but the flies are drawn to it, get down in the pop bottle and can't get out. I've had over a liter of flies in less than a week. Pretty amazing really.
 
Buy large containers of dried Basil, as cheap as you can find. Sprinkle the Basil in your coops, runs, and around them, just like you would if you were putting it on meat. The coop/run will smell fresh, and by the next day, you won't have many flies, if any. The chickens can/will safely eat it, and it's fine. Add more Basil as needed. It really does work.
 
I'd need to buy bulk basil. :lau

So I have this one small rooster who is terrifying the other small roosters, and in at least one incident, injured a cockerel so badly I had to put him down. After chasing a smaller rooster with violent intent, I tossed him back into the bachelor pen with the idea that I would butcher the little hoodlum and feed him to the dogs.

Decided tonight that was too good for him. I had an idea that maybe if I put two large roosters in with him, they would adjust his attitude for him so I found two low ranking roos with two inch spurs and put them in the bachelor pen.

I expected to hear screams and chaos coming from that run but nothing, all quiet. So I went to check on them. All three getting along fine, scratching around in the run....

Sometimes I just can't catch a break....

maybe he has "Nepoleon Complex" LOL
 
Here's one of the original studies in 2005, with SARS. It was later found that it worked on MERS, both coronaviruses that attack the lungs in similar manner. It's not happenstance that French doctors began administering it early on, reporting that they had great results with it. It's not happenstance that Trump's own physician(s) had him taking it as a prophylaxis. He recently announced he was going to stop taking it.

Some of the first studies came in from France. They were criticized, supposedly, because the study group at the time, was too small. Remember, there were no rapid tests yet, and there were fewer cases at the time. Later, when the study expanded to a higher number of cases, it was still discredited by Dr Fauci.

As more cases were confirmed positive, the study expanded to a large enough number, to be of major significance, proving it does a great job. All over the world, the data coming in was confirming the combo was working great. So why was Dr Fauci still warning against it? Why did most governors store the supplies of hydroxychloroquine that had been sent to them, for use in their states, refusing to release it to be given to people? Follow the money trail, and you will get your answer.
Here's an excellent study, done later in France, that expanded significantly on their original findings. Then numbers are acceptable, even by our standards, as a valid clinical study.

In this article, please note that the doctor was discouraged from studying it as a prophylaxis, by the same doctors that were TAKING it themselves for that very purpose. Please note, the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine IS known about, and quietly accepted, as a treatment.
https://emedz.net/antimalarial-drugs-for-coronavirus-prevention/

Please understand, the anti-hydroxychloroquine hype was not about safe-guarding people. There is a fairly long list of medications that are prescribed for off label use. An example of this, is certain chemo drugs that are routinely prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis. It works. Doctors know it works. The cost involved with doing a complete study for RA to be added to the list of uses, is huge. Not to mention that it would drive up the prices, and chemo drugs are expensive to begin with. Doctors prescribe it anyway as off-label, knowing it works. Nobody complains, since Big Pharma is still getting their high income from it.

Let's look at Remdesivir. Understand, the same people that would make the most money on a vaccine, are the ones needing to recoup their loss, since there IS a great cheap alternative treatment for Covid-19. Their answer to this is, that they have to launch a campaign to discredit any alternative treatment, until they can produce one of their own.

Thus enters Remdesivir. When applying for approval, the drug company mistakenly released the true study. That study showed that Remdesivir has NO value in regards to treating Covid-19. The mistake was quickly discovered, and another study, one much more favorable, was provided. In essence, when they found that Remdesivir didn't work, they had another lab do the same study, but with significantly better results. Hmmmmmm.
https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/23...ent-show-no-benefit-for-coronavirus-patients/

Now, since they changed testing labs, which would give them favorable results, Remdesivir is being touted as the latest, greatest. What's not being told is, it's still NOT as effective as the hydroxychloroquine combo. The other thing not being mentioned, is the cost. It's extremely high.
All I know is shortly after, during the hydroxychloroquine combo controversy our NY Govenor Cuomo ordered several thousand plus doses of it and everyone that was physically able and willing to try it under doctors orders was given it. (media was silent).
It might be a coincidence because it wasn't a 'scientific' study beings they gave it to everybody, no control patients. But that was when NYC went from the worst in the country to not a flattening of the curve but a sharp drop. Intubations dropped to pre covid levels.

Wowsers... I was able to read the entire article...

Crazy bad... just crazy bad.

Up here we are fully "open". All restrictions lifted. Some stores still require masks and hand sanitizer and gloves even.... and others don't.

People get to choose.

:idunno

Sadly, it sounds to me like we are all going to have to get the virus... doesn't sound like we can get rid of it, I keep hearing about how it keeps mutating and changing, which makes me think a vaccine is impossible....

At least things are set up a bit better now, for when people get it.

But... however you feel about this virus thing, and "open" verses "closed" or masked or not.... I just really wish people could be POLITE, and NOT beat the snot out of each other. :old
 
One note from me okay corona is also the common cold no vaccine right
no it changes goodnight old folks
This is related to the common cold but is different. There are vaccines for Mers and Sars that work for a couple of years.

There is hope for a vaccine and it seems from what I have read that it is more to do with us losing immunity to it not the virus mutating

We will see! Humans are terrible at predicting the future
