Thanks for the response. Phase II should be interesting.... That's a brave 84 year old! ;)

Was reading through the paper linked above and noticed the following regarding side effects of the vaccine: Between 42% and 56% of the participants reported a fever. Between 6 and 17% reported a Grade 3 fever. I found one reference to a grade 3 fever definition which was a temperature of 104 or...

Well that was interesting... particularly this: Instructor C had 25 students, in total, and none of them caught the virus. I wonder whether those classes were twice a week as the dance classes were (seems like it, since article said "at the same time"). So if I'm at a table tennis club, with...

That is what really intrigues me. Japan is a case in point, especially Tokyo. High density population (Roughly 9 million in Tokyo). Yet, very low fatality rate and new cases rate. Sure there is less testing there. Also, the elderly population probably has fewer co-morbidities than many western...

Same vid with an English explanation and with a follow-up: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/13/health/japan-black-light-experiment-coronavirus-trnd-wellness/index.html

Ah, Dr. Evil, you bring up another good point, inadvertently. I don't wear glasses, but of course particles do penetrate that way. Hmmm... seems like the only way to safely play is with a full face guard! I do know of somebody in Taiwan who played with one. I should have stayed there instead of...

Thanks Baal. I feel the risk is not worth it either for the same reasons. Confirmation bias. ;-) Edited to add: I'm real confused by this whole situation. On the one hand I know of crowded retail stores, where all the workers wear masks, and to-date no worker has come down with an infection...

Let's say I am the first customer of the day and have a coaching lesson for one hour with nobody else in the room. Ventilation is not great.... one open door. Maybe a floor fan blowing towards the door. If I'm wearing a level 1 ASTM mask, don't touch my face, wash hands, use alcohol and such...

I'm inclined to believe it was due to natural causes, but am more or less agnostic in the absence of hard evidence. My purpose in posting these links was not intended to reinforce the idea it leaked from a lab.

Seems to me the youtube link was more slanted. At least this article presented more background and gives the impression that this research could be brought home rather than outsourced, if necessary after studying the risks, etc. The youtube vid makes it sound like that's it for this kind of...

Seems to me like the article does explain why: Perhaps Fauci’s thinking was that his own agency couldn’t safely carry out this research, but a Chinese laboratory could.

LOL@ Lou Dobbs... I think that was inserted for its entertainment (or irritant) value. One thrust of the article was the possibility of an accidental leak. Until this outbreak, reading other sources, I did not realize, even with the best protocols, accidents have happened. I found this...

Seems like this link provides a little more background info: https://asiatimes.com/2020/04/why-us-outsourced-bat-virus-research-to-wuhan/

The video claimed 70%. That figured shocked me. Sure some of it is bad diet and other bad practices, but maybe too much time spent in the office as well. ;-)

Wow... interesting info, thanks! I have not heard any of this. By HCL you mean hydroxycholorquine? The initial reports of studies I've seen in the press were not encouraging, but if I correctly recall those were trials on patients with advanced cases. This survey (I have no idea how reliable it...

What type of early treatment are you referring to? Even Taiwan seems to do what we do here, with respect to that. Unless a person develops a serious problem they are told to stay home.

Of course not all hospitals and doctors are going to be all-stars, but in the past based on some doctors' complaints, mismanagement of blood sugar issues was not unusual. Hopefully things have improved. Your second paragraph is interesting. Had not heard that. I would hazard a guess that...

Thx for the response. I know in the past, based on some doctors' statements, hospitals in the past have not managed or been negligent of blood sugar control issues. Hopefully that situation has improved.

I'm in total agreement with this (not necessarily disagreeing with your other comments, but this one is in my sweet spot). For example, I have seen too many doctors exhibit complete ignorance concerning blood sugar issues, to the point where they are harming patients. NextLevel has commented...

There are even doctors who work with COVID-19 patients who claim to not wear masks in public. This is a 55 minute video, not sure where in the video they state it, but they do claim to not wear masks in public. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with that stance, but in terms of befuddlement...
