Its also interesting that the people that constantly tell people how serious Covid is and its "not the flu" are the same ones telling people to stay at home and "take tylenol and see how it goes". Seems so hypocritical. That's the most absurd thing I hear on a routine basis - just take tylenol... What I find also ironic is the medical professionals that scoff at people taking regimens from GPs or people in the medical community (natural paths) (those not worried about prescribing stuff off label, but focused on saving lives). I'm not a doctor. I am however a chemical engineer that specializes in electrolytic disinfection technologies focused on controlling air borne and water borne pathogens - in food, agriculture, healthcare, and pharmaceutical segments. I consult to epidemiologists and doctors on a routine basis. I assisted with the Stanford Decon95.org team (I was asked to help with it, I didn't seek out to be on it). I've worked for 24 years with various forms of microorganism pathogen control. I know a little about microorganism control.
With respect to Covid, the LAST thing that needs to happen is a "wait and see approach". You have to get ahead of it early in the process. That's the reason hospitals get overrun - not from mild symptom people overreacting. When it comes to pathogen control, its a lot easier to get control of the pathogen when the count is small. Microorganisms grow exponentially. Its vastly easier to control the pathogen population when the population count is low. Think of it in very basic terms - if a swimming pool has a few bacteria and algae spots, its a lot easier to clean the bacteria and algae up early on - it requires significantly less biocide in doing so. However, if you let the algae bloom go to the point that it overtakes the pool, the amount of disinfectant needed is far greater. And sometimes it gets sd bad, its just easier to drain the pool and start over fresh with new water after a thorough cleaning. Its the same basic concept.
There are numerous studies that show the positive effects of taking Ivermectin. There are many studies that show taking Quercetin with zinc and vitamin C is also very effective. Doxycycline is also very beneficial to help head off coming down with pneumonia. Countless studies on the benefits of taking vitamin D to help treat Covid. Lots of studies on the use of steroids helping in the treatment protcol.
Professionals in the medical community dole out Opioids and statin drugs like a damn pez dispenser, but somehow they are reluctant to prescribe Ivermectin, HCQ, Doxycycline, and Predisone off label along with a vitamin regimen??? Give me an Effing break.
There's a financial component at work here. While I believe nearly all medical professionals are good people and want to help people - and certainly never see people suffer like they are with Covid, there is still most definitely a financial component in what is taking place.
This is a photo taken directly from the Arizona dept of health services. Amazing how the case rates and hospitalization rate can swing by 10X yet the ICU bed availability only fluctuates by 10%. That's because they make money when people are in the ICU.
