AND FOR THOSE WHO HOARD SURGICAL MASKS...
CLAIM: Surgical masks protect against the new coronavirus.
THE FACTS: Medical masks alone cannot protect against being infected with the new coronavirus. WHO advised that the masks should be worn by those showing symptoms of coughing and difficulty breathing, so they dont spread disease to others. There is no evidence that masks protect people who are not sick.
AND FOR THOSE WHO TOUT THE BENEFITS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER:
CLAIM: Colloidal silver products can help prevent or protect against the new coronavirus from China.
THE FACTS: The silver solution has no known benefits in the body when it is ingested, according to officials with the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, a federal scientific research agency. Colloidal silver is made up of silver particles suspended in a liquid. The liquid solution is often pushed as a miracle solution to boost the immune system and cure diseases. Experts have long said the solution has no known health benefits and can cause serious side effects. The FDA has taken action against companies promoting colloidal silver products with misleading claims.
thanks for the post, informative

The one about "purple blood bad, red blood good..." is particularly hilarious. Are the Bottom Half of the Bell Curve people REALLY that dense?
For those that don't know, or don't care, purple blood isn't oxygenated. Expose it to air, BOOM, instant bright red. (That little phenomenon keeps you alive.)
“WHO advised that the masks should be worn by those showing symptoms of coughing and difficulty breathing, so they dont spread disease to others. There is no evidence that masks protect people who are not sick.”
Why do we see every healthy healthcare worker wearing a mask?
I have been drinking Corona beer. I heard it has antibiotic properties.
So far so good, no flu here.
Anyone know how much vitimin C should be taken to boost immune system? I know the body can only handle so much, but how much is recommended if possible?
I’ve heard that IPA’s work best and am acting accordingly...
“Why do we see every healthy healthcare worker wearing a mask?”
They have fitted masks and know not to pick their nose.
Except for those in full respirator gear, the ones I see have masks of the type that the wearer fits to their face (or perhaps with help). If masks help when properly fitted, that’s what the official guideline should say.
A good daily supplement to boost the immune system is Resveratrol.
That applies to a medical or surgical mask. What about the N95 mask that would be protective against a virus, at least that's what's been said at least since the bird flu scare around 2006.
I guess you don’t have the Mexican ‘travellers’ diahrrea?
It has works for me. But what do I know, I’ve only been using it for 25 years. Probably just my imagination.
From what I understand, the N95 only protects against substances of 3 microns or more. The Coronavirues is 1 micron...
Seems wearing a mask will stop people from picking their noses.
