    Show me the evidence that we gain immunity to this.

    So far no one knows for sure. We might lose immunity in a week. And one EMT interviewed said that it's worse the second time you get it. That would be really bad if its true.

    I used it by the truck load so to speak, 50 horses and 1000 cows.
    Only 5 horses left and no cows, drought and youth

    The immunity is based on Resus Monkey research, its rather preliminary.
    The so called second infection are probably cases who were discharged before they were completely healed.
    That's why the antibody testing is so important and a c19 test before being discharged. If their is still c19, despite antibodies your are not done jet with the disease.

    Yes, Gupta was telling Chris Cuomo that is his concern [about Chris]. The secondary infections are killing a lot of people.

    It also came up that perhaps 80% of people put on respirators don't survive. That is a damn scary number as well. One report from China was showing a mortality rate as high as 96% for people put on ventilators.

    I'm pretty sure I had it beginning in late Jan and am anxious to find out if I'm immune. I did have contact with people from the Kirkland Washington area. :rolleyes: I coughed so hard I pulled muscles in my stomach. Had fever and aching. No vomiting. And it took over six weeks to get over it.

    Oddly the one treatment that IS working for people put on ventilators is “proning”. Putting the person in the face down position. If you want to help donate soft pillows to your nearest hospital

    Maybe those chiropractor tables with the slotted head rest would work, or a variation of that.

    We do have slotted round pillows made of foam but we also need plain ordinary pillows

    They say six but it can be done with just three to four

    Great, they are outstanding. I have 2 Kune Kune. they listen better than my dogs, vegetarians, lawn mowers.
    I have to lawn mowers for sale, 1 electric and one gas, make you a good price, you just have to pick them up and bring a case of Corona.

    Proning and ventilation plus O2 plus drugs to wipe out breathing reflex (this is anecdotal evidence from the UK but early indications are that proning makes a huge difference

    If you want to help your local hospital ask if they want you to donate pillows

    Chickenpox is shingles, the virus remains dormant and comes out later as shingles

    http://pennstatehershey.adam.com/content.aspx?productid=112&pid=33&gid=000080

    "Once you have had chickenpox, the varicella-zoster virus lies dormant in your nerves and can re-emerge as shingles. Shingles, which is characterized by a rash of blisters, can be very painful. But it is not life threatening. ... Shingles is most common in people over age 60, or in those with weakened immune systems.Feb 4, 2016"

    We had four. I used to have head pushing contests with one - my head in place of the hand in the photo. It was soooooooo damn funny!!! I always thought he would rear back and pop me one day and knock me silly, but he never did. He knew to be careful. Fun animals!

    Its a Herpes virus, chickenpox.
    It resides dormant, were it gets rather nasty, in the tips of your nerve cells, that's why it so much fun, when it says hello.

    My goats would scour... Then they would seem to get better with imevectin but they never got what goat owners would call thrifty. Then they would scour... and lose weight. Penicillin killed them outright. They had the symptoms of bad worm infections. Worm medicine prolonged misery. So I figured coccidossis a tiny animacule. 5 days straight 5 doses... All the goats that had diarrhea eventually died.... except the one twin ..... Twinkle Toes kid. She actually had diarrhea and survived. So I figured I couldn't save the sick ones and started to think about how to save the healthy ones. We do have a waisting disease in deer down here. I decided to try the CDT shot. I finally found a weapon against this bug. I gave the twin her last dose of CORID and vaccinated all of em .... even babies just days old. They never built up immunity until the vaccine. Finally found what was killing my goats.

    yep, my grandma had it, not fun

    vaccines do not prevent you from getting a virus, only help the body fight it if one does get it, the body could still lose that fight if their immune system is weakened

    I tried everything I could think of. I would give them molasses and water. That would Give them some strength for a while. Sometimes they would even go back on feed for a while..... but they all died. Except that one twin. She looks good enough to give me some kids. Some goats never got it but it seemed like they were all doomed.
