We've been doing delivery for groceries for the past few weeks. It was weird the first time, but after that it's just nice. Somebody pulls up, grabs the envelope you left out there for their tip, then drops off everything right by the door. You wait for them to leave and *BOOM* your grocery "run" is done.
Tip those drivers well. Most of them don't get paid shit for their runs.
The money situation is going to be good for those on the bottom right at the moment, but there's going to be some pressure on those that are used to living with a much bigger paycheck. I do think there's going to come a point where, if this keeps going, serious discussion is going to have to be put into how to handle it. The government doing the one time check isn't going to cut it for the people that either don't qualify for unemployment, or can't get through on the websites that weren't built for this kind of traffic. It's gonna be a rough ride for a while.
Since some of you guys are a lot smarter than I am about medical stuff I have a question for you:
is hydroxychloroquine made/derived from wormwood? Saw something about this on FB but can't really find anything directly saying so. Could still be but I just don't understand it.
Kind of freaked out. 18 days ago I went to my best friends funeral and his brother-in-law gave me a hug and talked to me and my wife for awhile. I found out yesterday he is in Ft. Wayne hospital and they are not sure if he is going to pull through the Corona It's been 19 days now and my wife and I feel OK. I do have a cough but I think it's these allergies this year causing it. It's not a dry cough though.

Haven’t seen that FB post, but looks like one of the natural compounds in Sweet Wormwood is artemisinin, which has antimalarial properties. The chemical structure is nowhere close to hydroxychloroquinine, so I would say no. Only common thing is that they both have antimalarial properties.

That was the best I could come up with but I don't have a medical background so I'm okay with being wrong.

This may be a good thing, but also may cause issues in some people. Its important to have a discussion with your doctor before just adding something like that to your diet. Some drugs have interactions with quinine, some people are pre disposed to alergies andnother issues associated with this as well. It may well be a type of treatment, but as underlined above it might also make things worse.

1. Which hospital? 2. At 19 days you’re fine. 97% of cases see full blown symptoms at 11 days. Most people see symptoms at 5 days.

at 19 days you're okay Pepi. 2-14 days after infection is when you'd show symptoms.

YES please have common sense and talk to your doctor before adding any drugs or supplements to your diet.

Day 23. Still got the fever and headache. As I said before, none of the symptoms have been particularly bad, (although I had a couple of days last week where I just pissed with sweat) each day is a slight improvement but, fuck it's taking it's time to go away.
Hang in there SBG - glad you seem to be on the upswing. I think when it hit's it keeps getting progressively worse - so you should heading in the right direction! more mojo sent

Gene, I think she said Lutheran. I was so freaked out I'm not sure if I heard that part of our phone call. I guess one of the brothers daughter is running a fever now I'll keep you posted on their condition. Right now they both are in comas and are on ventilators Both are not very healthy in the first place.

Be very careful with quinine or quinidine. Both can cause fatal heart arrhythmias by increasing a qt interval on your ekg. Some anti malaria drugs being used on Covid-19 Patients have caused lethal cardiac rhythms which the Patient had to be shocked out of and ensuing CPR which worked for some but not others-- read about these happening in New York. Definitely talk to you Doc before self prescribing.
Now they have started Prone ventilation on him. His right leg has turned blue and he has developed a blood clot. His brother is off ventilator but still in a coma.

We have been proning Patients as well where I work-- read today about the virus causing micro clots to the lungs and heart and they are now infusing continuous slow drip tpa used primarily for acute non- hemorrhagic strokes. Friggin scary virus.
