One more thing I can blame on the public school system- since they're the ones who virtually banned peanut butter from school lunches.

Peanuts aren't even a good source, brother. Basically, eat oysters and cheeseburgers, and then add ionophores like ECGC, turmeric curcumin, or capers.

Capers are by far the highest source of quercetin, a naturally occurring zinc ionophore, which appears on the top 5 compounds list here:

Hey - at least they aren't the VParent generation or TACPAIRent generation.

That's interesting, I hadn't read that before. It's certainly a credible hypothesis; zinc supplements (e.g. ZICAM) have been used to help fight colds for a long time.

I personally think it's a bit of everything, diet, overall age and health of the population, and how data are collected. It's going to be interesting to digest all of this in hindsight.

You need both zinc, and the ionophore, together.

Best natural source: eating oysters topped w/ capers.

And obviously, you don't need an Rx and there is basically no harm in trying it, because there are no medical downsides to consuming oysters, beef, capers, turmeric, or green tea - all of which are at your local grocer.

Little sidetrack about turmeric- at home I'll drink green tea throughout the day, I mean brew a lot of it and then sip that. Better than soft drinks or sports drinks (lol) or energy drinks (smh) and more interesting than plain water. I accidentally grabbed a box of ginger-turmeric last year when I thought I was getting ginger. First taste reaction was what did I just get, let's have a closer look at the label?? Never heard of the stuff, looked it up online (some people say it's healthy for xyz reasons and others say the data is ambiguous but that it's probably healthy nonetheless). The taste is hard to describe and I'm told it is an acquired taste. By the end of the box of 20 teabags I started thinking mayyyybe I'll get another when this one runs out. That was a few boxes ago.

A common drink is turmeric blended into a coconut milk and/or ghee mixture. Sort of like a smoothie.

I’ve tried that before and while I don’t mind the taste, it made my teeth really yellow (until you brush them) but if someone doesn’t know you they might think you’re class 4 dental or something. Anyway I bought some turmeric pills which is basically just turmeric in a capsule so no tooth coloration.

After ten months and 300 days...this is the best idea we have? TWO masks instead of one?

Maybe we should just cut to the chase, fast forward a year, and start wearing three masks?

And it says google but this was published today in the New York Times.

I love it. The guy with 10,000+ posts admonishes the guy with 1,400.

The number in this thread is a little different...

How do you otherwise explain the highly localized geographic nature of the case count? Masks and lockdowns are super effective...so why are things so bad in California? Maybe, just maybe, it’s because their population was never really exposed to it before, and places like NYC have reached some sort of herd immunity threshold.

More cases beget more cases sometimes, other than that I don't have enough info or the background and am reluctant to leap to definitive conclusions as to the why.

SlickAg said:
I’ve said it before, my primary interest on this thread is mainly twofold: 1) seeing how many coronabros from this spring and summer still think lockdowns and masks are effective given that we’ve now had TEN months of them...

While ignoring how much worse things could have been if we had not taken those same measures.

and 2) seeing how political beliefs generally relate to COVID beliefs. Especially when they have “safe” jobs for all intents and purposes immune to any sort of economic-related downsizing.

While I may have a 'safe' job that was my choice to get one, and it certainly doesn't apply to everyone in my family so the stress of things shutting down still affect me along with the risk from the virus to some very vunerable family members. It is awfully arrogant to assume that I am unaffected by this virus or the effects it has had on the population and economy.
