trying to keep up w/ & successfully get past this disease/virus : CVD19/SARS-COV2 : during the current northern hemisphere Fall-Winter-into Spring 2021 seasons (w/ pollen apparently being anti-viral according to a study i read a few months back, thus helping to reduce virus prevalence along w/ people getting out and not being stuck in the same air so often) will i think be a real challenge. just gotta get thru it all as well as possible, and then deal w/ reality & all else at/from that point once again – like this past Summer, hopefully better-off once again. i think after this current ~ 9 month stretch, which just began is finally over, people globally (and i also) should have a much better understanding of what’s to come. global politics and economics should/must be included as well from my pov. here’s something to consider regarding CVD19 and health today…it’s about testosterone…it’s better to not have low counts/readings: https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/breaking-covid-19-latest-study-reveals-that-covid-19-may-deplete-testosterone-levels-in-men … and/or having low T-counts makes CVD19 worse…outcomes worse.
looks like studies (many of these have been suppressed & removed) are continuing to show CVD19/SARS-COV2’s similarities to/with HIV. this study seems to re-affirm the claims i read from Feb 2020 & up to a couple months later about this virus being essentially a horseshoe bat SARS virus w/ HIV inserts (added to it’s genome) along w/ gain-of-function processing in the Wu-lab. believe it or not. this study also implies the CCR5-delta32 mutation will likely be helpful again as it has been w/ HIV/AIDS. if the similarities are there, then the path to a cure should likely be similar imo. fwiw: this past week another aunt of mine claimed she never got a scar from her smallpox shot. which means to me: i think she’s got the homozygous “delta32 mutation and i’m also starting to think this mutation may be more common among the European pop’ & their descendants than is currently known/thought.
COVID-19 Study Reveals That SARS-CoV-2 Uses CD4 Cells To Infect T-helper Lymphocytes. COVID-19 A Potent Version Of Airborne HIV? – https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/breaking-news-covid-19-study-reveals-that-sars-cov-2-uses-cd4-cells-to-infect-t-helper-lymphocytes–covid-19-a-potent-version-of-airborne-hiv
Just a quick sidenote:
I am also reading Thailandmedical and now I notice just how unbiased they are.
I am currently in Thailand as you may now.
I feel like I am in an oasis where some sanity prevails.
I don’t know what it feels like to be in the frenzy the Western World experiences atm.
yes, their work is excellent. you’ve picked a country that’s doing an outstanding job containing CVD19. gonna stay there through the northern hemisphere Winter at least? might be a wise & safe plan/thing to do, especially for this year, if possible.
What do you mean about the ‘no scar’ ? I’m A – and I never got a scar from my vaccination either.
Anyone migrating to estonia. Trying to leave the US. Be good idea. I cant get anyone to go but I’d sure do anything to go.
China posted these types, but does this pertain to RH negative blood types? I’m lucky I’m in healthcare so I do have proper health PPE. Yet I’ve been watching, of course, I’m manipulative and positioned myself in a job who’s patients on the board of hospital that through my kid on street with barefoot johnny and tagged with hospital bracelet…. Of course….I’m his mummy and I want to meet the people who helped kill my son by rejecting my baby because they gained nothing from his health care insurance! Well they have rubber masks on! Like CPR..masks….when I said take it off or I’m unable to clean your teeth…I saw sweat and pupil dilation…not cool! And one guy said he was from Spain, Cuba, but the accent middle eastern,made no sense to lie, seemed off!!! I said Abrir la Boca ?response gracias? Wrong response…why pretend your Spanish if your middle eastern…I said thank you Jon …and he looked…Jon is a familiar or kind word…when I ask a patient to open there mouth, thank you is never an accurate response?????
Interesting to see that O negative seems to be lowest risk, if I read this correctly? I’m O-, but have health issues that make me more susceptible to getting infections. So far, I haven’t gotten Covid-19, but neither have I been in close contact with anyone positive, as far as I know anyway. While we didn’t get many cases until recently, it is starting to hit here heavily now. Thankfully, no one that we know has had a serious case, but the hospitals are reportedly so full, that they are putting non-Covid patients in places such as the chapel and hallways.
I’m the only Rh negative blood type in either my birth family or the family I’m the mom in, so I came in to see just how that worked. Both parents are deceased, but I remember asking Mom, and she assured me that even though both her & Dad were Rh positive, they were my biological parents! I remembered Dad was O+, not sure what letter Mom was.
There is so much confusion over how two positive parents can produce an Rh negative baby. I hope my explanation helps, because it’s not only possible but it happens quite often. The Rh factor is handed down from both parents to their children. We each inherit, randomly one of two Rh genes from each parent. To be Rh negative, one MUST possess two Rh negative genes, one from their mother and one from their father. (Everyone who is Rh Negative, regardless of their blood type, must possess TWO negative genes.). Most people who are positive do not know that they may carry the recessive negative gene.
This is a hypothetical example of an Rh Negative baby born to two positive parents: (Rh positive, regardless of blood type, is always dominant.)
Mother Neg/Pos = an Rh positive blood type (baby inherits randomly the mom’s negative gene.
Father Neg/Pos = an Rh positive blood type (baby inherits randomly the dad’s negative gene.
Baby Neg/Neg = an Rh negative blood type. (Baby’s future children will inherit their mother’s Rh Negative gene because she has no positive gene to pass down.
Not necessarily true. I am Rh A neg, but both of my kids have A pos.
Hi, I found it quite interesting. I and my four siblings all have type O blood and at least one sister is also RH negative, I think we all are (I know little about this as you can tell). I am hopeful this will help us resist the Covid 19 virus if exposed. I never thought much about it before, but my immunity to most things is good, everyone else will get sick and I rarely do. I did get norovirus last year, but I was the last person in the house to get it out of five people, and I recovered quickly, just a couple of days being sick. Thanks for posting this!
kesa (saw your unpublished post) :: i think not getting a scar/the “take” for the smallpox vax may indicate one’s body has no problem removing the cowpox virus that was used to create immunity against the smallpox virus. the take or scarring that forms on most people occurs i think because the virus gets a small hold on the body of these people in the injection area, but it’s only a small infection from which the body is able to overcome and become immune. these are both pox forming viruses, and so i think this scaring is related to that viral feature/trait. the CCR5-delta32 mutation affects a receptor on white blood cells/T-cells and perhaps some others. many viruses including HIV are able to attach to these receptors on white blood cells and in so doing infect/disable and/or destroy them…creating a situation in one’s body where one’s immune system is weakened and thus less able to remove harmful microbes and people get sick.

this developing treatment for CVD19 looks promising & should be watched closely imo:
COVID-19 Long-Acting AntiBody (LAAB) combination AZD7442 rapidly advances into Phase III clinical trials – 9 October 2020 21:30 BST
“” Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, said: “This agreement with the US Government will help accelerate the development of our long-acting antibody combination which has the potential to provide immediate and long-lasting effect in both preventing and treating COVID-19 infections. We will be evaluating the LAAB combination in different settings from prophylaxis, to outpatient treatment to hospitalisation, with a focus on helping the most vulnerable people.”
LAABs mimic natural antibodies and have the potential to treat and prevent disease progression in patients already infected with the virus, as well as to be given as a preventative intervention prior to exposure to the virus. A LAAB combination could be complementary to vaccines as a prophylactic agent, e.g. for people for whom a vaccine may not be appropriate or to provide added protection for high-risk populations. It could also be used to treat people who have been infected. “”
AZD7442
“” AZD7442 is a combination of two LAABs derived from convalescent patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Discovered by Vanderbilt University Medical Center and licensed to AstraZeneca in June 2020, the LAABs were optimised by AstraZeneca with half-life extension and reduced Fc receptor binding. The half-life extended LAABs should afford six to 12 months of protection from COVID-19.2-5 The reduced Fc receptor binding aims to minimise the risk of antibody-dependent enhancement of disease – a phenomenon in which virus-specific antibodies promote, rather than inhibit, infection and/or disease.6
In a recent Nature publication, the LAABs were shown in pre-clinical experiments to block the binding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to host cells and protect against infection in cell and animal models of disease.7 “”

Potently neutralizing and protective human antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 – Published: 15 July 2020
“” Here we analyse a large panel of human monoclonal antibodies that target the spike (S) glycoprotein5, and identify several that exhibit potent neutralizing activity and fully block the receptor-binding domain of the S protein (SRBD) from interacting with human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). “” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2548-6
also: https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/covid-19-research-in-vitro-studies-show-that-cetylpyridinium-chloride-found-in-most-mouthwashes-inhibits-sars-cov-2-coronavirus- … well, it appears in this mouth wash at least: https://www.target.com/p/colgate-swish-antibacterial-alcohol-free-mouthwash-for-healthy-gums-and-fresh-breath-invigorating-mint-peppermint-16-1-fl-oz/ … “” Active ingredients
cetylpyridinium chloride (0.075 %) “” … the link might not work when i post this (i can’t edit my posts), but you can see in the link what specific brand it is. if interested, i’d check the product once again before buying it for purposes mentioned in the above article/etc….
fwiw: i found this type of C’gate m-wash to also have that same quantity per volume/active ingredient (Cetylpyridinium Chloride (0.075%). ) as their Swish product. this product seems to be easier to locate. hopefully the spearmint type i ordered will be a good product and as advertised. https://www.colgate.com/en-us/products/mouthwash/ct-pro-shield
Hi ken! At work we use Hydrogen Peroxide pre rinse One minute…Best if you can obtain prescription is chlorohexadine rinse….other name Peridex… This kills or at least reduces flora good or bad in oral cavity..including viral and bacterial strains…I’m moving most recent emails…My apple ID hacked, new yahoo email hacked, this old email seems to be working so maybe its all good.
imo: it’s a good idea w/ CVD19 to have a good finger pulse-oxygen meter/reader (fwiw – i have an Innovo iP900BP finger pulse oximeter that i bought early this year and it works very well & quickly – it takes a few secs to give real-time readings – i bought it directly from the company’s own website as i recall). people can die from lack of O2 in maybe 5 mins sometimes…having an O2 saturation rate/# of 95% or better is what one should be looking for when using a finger oxygen reader/detector (a reading of 90% or less is not good generally speaking). this lack of oxygen in one’s body (and one often times not realizing the low O2 state) is a common issue/trait of CVD19/SARS-CoV2 and one from which i believe i’ve seen (and read) of people dying (just passing-out on a sidewalk or in bed…etc…) since this disease started infecting people planet-wide ~ 1 yr ago. here’s a link to a study explaining why people are not realizing they’re short of breathe/lacking O2: https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/covid-19-research-silent-hypoxemia-detected-in-numerous-covid-19-patients-is-possibly-due-to-carotid-bodies-being-infected-by-sars-cov-2
Great idea Ken ! I’ve been super busy, so need to catch up! Every patient I see , I am using regular BP cuff…most accurate…O2levels I’m watching with the item you mentioned. If Lips , fingernails dark, and indication of cyanosis..I repeat O2 levels…Ok I’m just gonna say that its best to do overall exam of oxygen deficiency with eyes…the wrist BP cuff….way inaccurate, even any computerized BP cuff….according to temperatures by that new aim point and press button thermometer…we are all suffering hyper thermia…. The best way is the old school way…IMO 😀
some other apparently helpful early and/or outpatient ways to deal w/ CVD19…especially for those w/ severe symptoms and in more risky groups – a discussion/mention of budesonide is what got me looking into these things today:
Is a new steroid treatment a miracle solution for COVID-19—or is it snake oil?

Dr. George Fareed and Colleagues Urge Early Outpatient Treatment for COVID-19 – News provided by
George Fareed – Jan 11, 2021, 09:00 ET
“” The outpatient therapies include combinations of widely available drugs and nutraceuticals (zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, quercetin) as well as anti-infectives, steroids and anticoagulants if necessary. The new protocol features FDA-approved antibody infusions manufactured by Lilly and Regeneron, which are available at hospitals and should be available at urgent care centers and nursing homes soon. “”
“” For patients who do not receive antibodies, early sequential multidrug therapy (SMDT) calls for combinations of well-known, safe drugs such as ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, doxycycline, and favipiravir (outside the US), along with inhaled steroids such as budesonide and oral steroids including dexamethasone and prednisone. “”

Clinical outcomes after early ambulatory multidrug therapy for high-risk SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection
4. Conclusions “” The rates of death in our study indicate that early multidrug therapy is associated with > 90% reduction in mortality among the high risk compared to community rates of death associated with therapeutic nihilism in ambulatory patients who are subsequently hospitalized. The National Institutes of Health currently advise denial of early treatment and encourage late-stage hospitalization as the first window of treatment open to acutely ill patients with COVID-19 (COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines, 2020). Our contrary view, supported by our results, is that early ambulatory therapy should be offered as an emergency measure in acutely ill, high-risk COVID-19 as a strategy to reduce hospitalization and death. We anticipate results of clinical trials will refine our multipronged therapeutic response to patients with this potentially fatal infection, however in our view, there is an impressive and urgent call for action at the earliest point in the infection for the best chances of survival from hospitalization and death. “”

I have RH A-neg and I don’t get colds or flu. I had the Asian flu in 1956 I believe, I was so sick, but I’ve never had the flu since. I know I have fantastic immune system!
