I wonder if this problem happened back in the spanish flu pandemic?

I should mention that I am young, have no health issues, cook my own food, only drink water, don't smoke, exercise and walk a few miles most days, So its not that the young and healthy get "lesser" symptoms, they are just unlikely to straight up die from them.

Did you take any ibuprofen?

Yeah the last line of my post basically acknowledges that. No one is saying that n95 masks are ineffective, but rather in the hands of untrained people they're as-effective as simple surgical masks or even just a scarf held over your nose and mouth. So save the n95 masks for medical professionals who need them and know how to use them, use something else for yourself

its not that hard to use them effectively

Probably a vanishingly-small percentage, since most of the case studies aren't even testing for asymptomatic carriers; many of these studies have involved people suddenly developing covid-19 symptoms and testing positive while not having interacted with any symptomatic individuals.

Also, the standard coronavirus test that most countries use has a high false negative rate (~10%) but a very low false positive rate (~0%).

If anything, it happened way more than now https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/eat-more-onions

"Conventional medical advice for the treatment of influenza included morphine, atropine, aspirin, strychnine, belladonna, chloroform, quinine, and, disturbingly, kerosene, which was administered on a sugar lump."

One thing that caught my eye on Wikipedia was the fact that aspirin was recommended in extremely high doses back then. So not only did you have the flu killing people, but there was aspirin poisoning on top of that.

If ya'll are bored, consider browsing the old digital newspaper archives off your local library website. My system's is here https://dr65.bmiimaging.com/?dataset=ca696d04-fe92-42ff-9d75-7cd8488c2587&customer=e4d70b12-7e0b-421c-856e-264bbf7e7993

There are all sorts of snake oil type ads that are great. The kind of phrasing that was used in advertising back then was hilarious.

This is what's going on in Spain right now. LITERALLY PULLING OLDER PEOPLE OFF. My state is estimated to run out of respirators by the end of the month.

Yes but on the flip side we only have 600 cases, the head of the province want this poo poo stop as soon as possible and seeing that people are just milling about like nothing is happening lead to this. We don't want to be like Spain.

So thanks Spinster.

After trying it both ways, I've concluded that while being stuck at home by yourself sucks, being stuck at home with a stinking hangover and associated sense of existential dread sucks worse lol.

Every resident is required to stay home unless going shopping for groceries, going to a doctor�s appointment or going to work at an essential business, as defined in Inslee�s executive order. See more specifics on what is and isn�t allowed below.

All public and private social, spiritual and recreational gatherings are banned. All non-essential businesses are closed.

I got too old and curmudgeonly to do the leg work necessary to find a new weed guy after all my college friends moved away or moved on. The last time i bought weed it was from a stranger a friend knew who had me meet him in the parking lot of an apartment complex, then he got the weed from someone in a van and then got it to me and i was just like "this is bullshit."

One theory I've heard is that the viral load to which you are initially exposed factors into one's course. People who are exposed to huge amounts of the virus would be expected deteriorate quicker and to a greater degree than those who maybe only received incidental exposure.

So maybe the asymptomatic carriers tended to be exposed to the virus in smaller amounts? IDK just guessing. Im sure there are plenty of other factors

Culturally, Italy and Iran tend to greet each other with more hugs and kisses rather than handshakes. This might also explain why Dr Li (that famous whistle blower doctor), died of it at 34. He was an eye doctor, so it�s likely Dr Li May have been exposed from being in close proximity to infected patents.

I'm in WA and trying real hard not to panic about losing out on 2+ weeks of work because rent is basically paycheck to paycheck for me (and I'm sure for many, many others). This is right after I picked up a bunch of hours from a co-worker who bailed too :sigh:
