I think someone already posted about Vitamin D being low in patients admitted to the hospital with Covid, same with Vitamin C. So if you start feeling sick, better get on the Vitamin C right away.
Oranges donāt grow too well here but grapefruits do. Iāve developed a taste for them; many of the oranges in the supermarkets taste like crap but the grapefruits here are very sweet. No sugar needed.
ā¦the flu pandemic of 1918-1919.
That pandemic was the deadliest in the 20th century; it infected about 500 million people and killed at least 50 million, including 675,000 in the United States.
By the end of the pandemic, a whopping third of the worldās population had caught the virus. (At the moment, about half a percent of the global population is known to have been infected with the novel coronavirus.)
1/3 infected 1918 virus, now we are at 0.5%. Long way to go or we are more disciplined?
Doctors expect the COVID-19 pandemic wonāt really end until thereās both a vaccine and a certain level of exposure in the global population.
Doctors say need more people infected?
Less Covid19 in Arizona
I thinks itās social distancing. Anyone within pistol range is considered a threat in the Old West.
Some of it is definitely cultural. Brazil got slammed in part because Brazilians huddle close. Iran got slammed because middle easterners stand in otherās faces. But given AZās case count and demograhics the death count should be higher. England is another mystery. Their measures werenāt far enough off from their European neighbors to account for how badly theyāve been hit. Germay is another mystery. Everyone tries to link outcomes to actions but when you dig down they donāt seem to correlate.
England has a pub culture. Pubs are super spreaders.
Americans hang out in gyms. 24 hr fitness is going bankrupt. Trying to be healthy backfired. Might as well go to pubsā¦
8 million cases diagnosed in the US. Undiagnosed/asymptomatic cases are probably twice that, so ~8% of the population has caught it. We are about a third of the way thereā¦
Maybe Arizonians stand apart because the Costco carts are 5ā long. 
There have been at least as many Arizonans at bars through this whole thing as there have been Brits at pubs. In fact British pub culture has been dying for years.
San Francisco on Tuesday became the first major jurisdiction in California to advance into the stateās least-restrictive yellow reopening tier, Dr. Mark Ghaly, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, said in a series of announcements.
In a statement, Mayor London Breed said capacity at most already-open businesses could expand to 50% beginning Nov. 3, as well as a loosening of a number of other restrictions on the more immediate horizon.
Offices will be permitted reopen at 25% capacity beginning Oct. 27, Breed said, and gyms that recently reopened could expand to that capacity, as well. Climbing gyms and other personal services will also be allowed to reopen, Breed said.
Meanwhile, out in lonely Pescadero, flower farms are going bust. Glad Iām not coastside anymore. Iād hate to have to see the destruction from the fires and Covid. Better just to have all the great memories.
Highest death rates are from the same part of the world. Possible reason for similarity is: Climate? Culture? Diet?
Both pieces suggest Singapore protected their elderly - a common failure in places with high mortality. Itās much easier to give maximum attention to those infected when itās just a handful of young people.
Americans have a high death rate because of bad health habits, obesity and a higher percentage of elderly.
Lots of HONDAs. Meanwhile we are keeping schools kid at home that have the smallest chance of mortality if any age group.
The smallest chance of spreading it as well. Now even NPR is questioning school closures.
Strikingly, in one database of more than 1,200 super-spreader events, just one incident is classified as outdoor transmission, where a single person was infected outdoors by their jogging partner, and only 39 are classified as outdoor/indoor events, which doesnāt mean that being outdoors played a role, but it couldnāt be ruled out. The rest were all indoor events, and many involved dozens or hundreds of people at once. Other research points to the same result: Super-spreader events occur overwhelmingly in indoor environments where there are a lot of people.
