Luckily I cashed in a Pension Pot a couple of weeks prior to the virus arriving. 4 year old nephew brought it home a week before the Schools were closed, and we’ve been in Lockdown ever since. I have 3 stainless steel gravity feed water purifiers unused, plus spare filter candles should they be needed. Purchased a new breadmaker, an extra greenhouse (brilliant value twin wall polycarbonate) ordered lots of varieties of Heritage seeds, and bulk flower pots, a pallet of growbags, loads of fertiliser 7:7:7 and seaweed fertilisers, blood fish and bone, plus seaweed foliar feed. Should have plenty of Heritage seeds for neighbours next year. Also had a good deal on a new Honda Mini Tiller.
Big study I think in France? Where infected with Wuhan virus records log smokers and non smokers, someone analysed the stats for smokers with the virus, I think it was 1600 smokers, only 5, aged 75 to 94 died (not necessarily of the virus), and all other smokers made a full recovery. Needless to say, that’s not exactly getting MSM coverage. I put down my recovery to drinking plenty of Quinine in Indian Tonic Water, Zinc tablets, and anti inflammatory Ibuprofen tablets, but that I’d started smoking to get excess fluid created by my eye drops (fluid that left me very vulnerable to upper respiratory infections) under control looks to have helped more than I realised. Worth noting as it may be related, I haven’t had an upper respiratory infection or an eye infection since I started smoking (I was getting them thanks to the eye drops prior. There’s also a lot of clear evidence now, that if HCQ, Zinc and Z-Pak is given early in the infection, then the treatment is very effective. At least 70% of patients in Spain were prescribed it by their Spanish doctors, and there’s now plenty of evidence that it works from other Countries. As an aside, we’ve had the Media over here telling us that HCQ is untested and dangerous as it damages the kidneys, yet my friend’s mother has been told to drink plenty of Tonic water, because it’s so good for her kidneys. My friend got hit with the Wuhan virus really hard, in February. Feeling really rough, he usually has a glass of brandy before bed, but he’d run out, and had a very large Gin and lots of Tonic instead, plus a 600mg Ibuprofen, and another Ibuprofen the following morning and G&T plus Ibuprofen the following night. The day after, he was right as rain. He’s a non smoker.
Keep well all, busy transplanting plants for a few days, all the best.
PS. They’ve been telling us over here that Ibuprofen is really dangerous as well. This despite there being no Scientific evidence that Ibuprofen has ever harmed anybody. More worrying is, they’re using the scare as grounds for prescribing a “protective “ tablet to prevent Ibuprofen damage. If you look up the side effects of that “preventative“ it includes increasing the risk of Upper Respiratory Infections? Seems to me, the Medical Profession has been preparing the way for , and increasing the casualties from this Wuhan virus?
Also the Media had “experts “ on, telling us that Smokers were the most vulnerable to the virus, when there are now strong indications that it’s the opposite that’s true, they look to be the least vulnerable. What’s going on? Are they saying the same nonsense in the USA?
