I'm a microbiologist, (bacteriology) ask me whatever you want.

that means if someone sneezes or coughs toward your eyes with the virus, that becomes a portal of entry for the virus

yeah fuck that, im staying way away from other sick people for as long as possible.

do you like me think the Chinese are under reporting to save face?

Absofuckinglutely. This is a very important concept in Chinese culture. WHO is playing along.

Fail boat. This fool doesn’t know shit.

i saw the abstract of that as soon as it hit the net, it has me spooked.

i spent 6 years working as a microbiology technician. think what you want

You’re awesome!

yes 100%

Really we need a randomized control group of like 100 infected people, how many of those die is the true fatality rate.

All we officially know is that from 79 confirmed cases we have 38 recoveries and 41 confirmed dead, i suspect there are probably tens of thousands of actual infections at this point and maybe a few hundred deaths.

Id speculate the actual fatality rate is probably worse than a bad flu but less than SARs, but i honestly dont know, its not good thats what i know, an r0 of close to 4 and a 2-10% fatality rate is frightening, if the r0 is anything like 10 and the fatality rate is higher than 5% this will be world changing and we are living through a significant event in human history. even with the current low ball an r of 3-4 and a 5% fatality rate this could change the world.

Hello, Doc!

Ozone kill this virus?

Are the Communists lying?

Answer: Are their lips moving?

I too am most alarmed by the Chinese reaction. Millions die every year from industrial accidents. Human life is cheap for them. And reportedly about 10% of their economy is shut down, and that itself could end up being world-changing. So they're not doing this shit lightly.

No 39/100 would be 39%.

You can't even do basic math.
You're not fooling anyone into thinking you're a micro anything except penis.

is your name Bernadette?

Should do by oxidation of the protein capsid or by damaging the rna, dont know how long it would take or what concentrations though or if the concentrations would be bad for your tissues, i suspect they would.

Dwarfism is nothing to be ashamed of. Many like you lead very successful lives and some reach the top in their fields. Dont let your small size become a stumbling block.

Thanks!!!
I have spark Tesla coil - good ozone generator.

My half and half smells a little off.

Should I still use it in my tea?

Thanks for caring!!!

Welp i fucked my indices up.

Because my ability to type quickly, double check and write coherent english and math without spellchecking or math checking is tied to my ability to operate racking, autoclaves, pour agar, use aseptic technique, cryo etc

I might be terrible at math and spelling, but i can still gram stain like a mofo.

i dont have postgrad degrees im afraid, just undergraduate, i left microbiology around a decade ago.

i think in general prepers have the right idea, but if you want to avoid getting a virus, avoid human contact its thats simple.

I’m on a biologic, am I extra sensitive to infection?

don't forget door knobs, shopping carts, restaurant menus.

Thanks. That's about what I thought.

Headlines like this make it seem novel or unique.

lol, I did some stuff years back with lactobacilli species, something to be said about storing your milk in a stainless steel milk jug you sterilize between uses and stick a sterile silver coin in the bottom of, it tends to last a lot longer.

You could probably pour your milk out under a bunsen flame using asceptic technique but thats a little extreme even for a tea loving brit with micro training.

Jumping onboard to follow.



Just before and after Christmas, here in central Alabama, people in my family were experiencing what seems to have been the flu. While at a family gathering at my niece's on the 23rd, without any warning such as abdominal pain, I suddenly found myself with 'the runs', hardly making it to the restroom a number of times that afternoon. I didn't eat anything while there, so never attributed this problem with the gathering itself. Meanwhile, an elderly Aunt and Uncle living about 40 miles away cancelled Christmas with us DUE to a gastric illness similar to what I experienced.

It took a few days to clear, though still not completely, which, until now, just seemed unusual to me. I have developed mild to moderately severe feelings of nausea at times, a bit of cramping in various places in my torso (currently near my kidneys, while last week in front near my spleen) along with very mild cold symptoms on and off ever since. I'm pretty much never ill, eat an almost 100% organic diet, live alone, and rarely go out...so whatever my immune system continues to battle has been a curious mystery.

About a week after Christmas, my niece developed high fever and a massive kidney infection, while her two young children, whose cold symptoms have seemed to continue in an on and off fashion ever since the holidays ended, have both needed Urgent Care at separate points by mid January. One child was diagnosed within the past week with croup...of all things.

One month has passed since the gathering, also attended by her brother and his family, who drove up from Naples, Florida. The three of them are currently sick with massive flu-like symptoms, his wife bed-ridden the last two days with high-fever, with my nephew having sought ER care yesterday for high fever and flu-like symptoms.

I'm only adding all of this because all these events within one family seems a bit more than odd.

Most of us have shopped at big box stores during and after the holiday season. There's an increasing amount of foodstuffs from China on the shelves, while Orientals with masks on their faces roam the same aisles we have.

All this said...

is three ANY possibility that this virus has already been lurking among us for at least a month, with us getting infected slowly enough over time to somehow act upon our immune systems in a mild, yet recurring, fashion?

I know I'm grasping at straws here, but it seems to me that there may be patterns at work here which might easily be overlooked, yet, significant. Just thought I'd add the strangeness my family continues to be experiencing, though miles apart,

What's the chance this IS a virus that specifically targets immune systems, which then leaves it up to the body to figure out how to deal with it according to the health status of each individual as the vector seeks out places to hide or grow?

Apologies for my babbling on so.

GcMAF

Any good?
Why does it need the probiotics?
What does the colostrum add to the mix?

Any other way to get macrophages to turbo?

OP, if a person is infected by MRSA, is he really infected by MRSA for life? In other words, a carrier of MRSA for life?

Not sure, im not a doctor, was just a microbiology technician in a bacteriology lab, a glorified caretaker so to speak.

I'm presuming you have RA or something, so anything immune related or anybody with decreased immune function would obviously be more at risk of any disease.

Your math was right the first time. This ‘correction’ would indicate you’re not very intelligent, and definitely not a microbiologist.
