@ philipma1957

you can supplement your HEPA air filtration with UVC air sterilization.

look at this http://kront.eu/en/landing/. you can easily assemble this if any product like this out there is out of stock or can't be purchased from your location.

parts are:
 - box
 - cpu fans(the silent fans)
 - ballast
 - PSU (tap the 110V for the ballast and supply the 12V to fans)
 - non ozone generating UVC bulbs (non ozone so that it won't generate smell)
 - air filter (only to prevent dust accumulation for fans and bulbs)

BTW for me, i found a way to UVC my AC, so some how it kind of works like this. but having this kind of unit where visitors inhaled/exhaled air will tend to get sucked first before getting its fair spread in a room (strategic positioning) like beside the door unlike AC systems.

also you might want to take a look at NAC (n-acetyl-l-cysteine) for your wife, it is a mucolytic agent (might help), it is OTC supplement so I am assuming it is safe.

here is a "NAC" search on amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=nac&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

I am a bit more on the herby side(still contains NAC), i am taking this one.
https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Factors-Bronchial-Promotes-Tablets/dp/B00028OO52

helped me with my rhinitis, got some mucus out when i started and felt my lung capacity get better, no way to measure but i can hold my breath longer and breath better.

Yeah it is real enough for us. I am lucky I am retired as is my wife. So we don’t have to work.
We have 0.33 acres of land and a house 🏠.
So we don’t go stir crazy 😜 and we are not desperate for money 💵.

We would love to take tests for antibodies if we could. If we were certain we had it in Jan. we would be more  aggressive trying to treat my wife’s now 106 day post nasal drip 💧.

So far it has resisted multiple anti histamines and the drip falls into her lungs. She coughs stuff up every day.  Since the type of doctors that would treat it are the same that treat corona-v we don’t want to tax health system. Since we are not sure corona-v damaged her we could be risking her getting infected in her weakened state.

We had a major party with all the sick cousins and around 100 relatives around nov 30.

wife got signs of being ill around dec. 20

could be that party got all the cousins and me and my wife sick.  She is stable so it is the after effectivs for her.  

Still hoping the two cousins in intensive care get better.  

To all be careful.

Edit forbes article shows type a blood people may catch it  easier then type o

As outlined in the study, the normal population in Wuhan has a blood type distribution of:

Type A - 31%
Type B - 24%
Type AB - 9%
Type O - 34%
Comparatively, Wuhan residents who had contracted COVID-19 had a blood type distribution of:

Type A - 38%
Type B - 26%
Type AB - 10%
Type O - 25%
...

   It was a small sample of 2173 victims in China

A is worst

O is best


type B
type AB  are close to neutral.

@philipma1957 - thanks for sharing how this is impacting you and your family. I hope everyone recovers soon.
Thanks also to @xvids for starting the thread.

I think it is important that we share these stories. There are plenty of people out there who aren't treating this thing seriously enough, who think it is some weird government conspiracy, or who think it is no big deal and no worse than regular flu. But if we all show how it is affecting us as individuals, it may help and go a little way towards making everyone understand how serious this is, and how we need to behave responsibly, and in accordance with official guidance.

I have been lucky so far. I am in the UK, which is perhaps going to be one of the worst affected countries in Europe... but so far no-one I know has caught it or is displaying any symptoms, everyone in my family has a decent amount of space in this lockdown and isn't stuck 24 hours a day in a tiny city centre flat, everyone in my family who works still has a job and is working from home, we all have access to food and supplies with minimal human contact.

But I am not taking this for granted. A lot of people out there are suffering terribly. Globally we are into millions of confirmed cases now, deaths in the hundreds of thousands. The word 'pandemic' is not used lightly.

Since I had a dozen packages of miners arrive in my home during Nov,Dec,Jan all shipped in under 3 days from China we may have been early victims of the disease.

you can not catch coronavirus (or any other virus) for that matter from a package. viruses don't last that long on surfaces, specially surface of a package.
of course it is possible that the person who handed you the package had the virus and had deposited some of their virus on the package exactly right before they handed you the packages.


this is mis-information

20 to 24 hours on cardboard

2 to 3 days on hard surfaces such as steel or plastic.


Quote
https://news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-safe-receiving-delivery-packages-141513234.html

...A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested how long the coronavirus can last on different types of surfaces within a laboratory.

The study concluded that the virus “can remain viable” on copper for up to four hours, on cardboard for up to 24 hours and on plastic and steel for up to three days....


My wife is stable her temps good her O2 is around 95-97  vs 91-92

We take her O2 3 or 4 times a day.  we take her temps 3 to 4 times a day.
Her 3 ½ day in hospital was Jan13 to Jan16 it was called community pneumonia both lungs.

Last effect now is endless post nasal drip which causes 3 or 4 coughing fits each day.

She has 5 cousins with the corona-v 3 in CT  2 in NY. We are in NJ

2 or her cousins are in intensive care the other 3 are getting better.

So 6 relatives 3 went to hospital.

2 still in hospital

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

all three states have bad numbers
"
NY  478 of 1 million die
NJ  265 of 1 million die
CT  155 of 1 million die "  note: cleaned from charts in the link

all six relatives are 45 to 69 years old.

Still NY numbers if were all over the world  would mean

478/1,000,000 x 8,000,000,000 = 3,824,000  worldwide deaths

compared to 1918-1919 spanish flu 20,000,000 out of 1,200,000,000

for this to be as bad as the spanish flu deaths worldwide would need to climb to 120-130 million.

God forbid this happens.

basically this is still yet to reach the 2009 h1n1 levels of 175,000 to 575,000 world wide

I won't say what job I work in generally - but I do work part-time in what's considered to be a high-risk environment. Some of my colleagues have gotten CoronaVirus and it's on the news to put it into perspective.

Believe me, I'm sure there are people on this forum, probably more than a couple who have it, or who have had it in the past. A lot of people may have had it, got through the symptoms, and never knew it which is why stats on this virus are so difficult.

This is too easy to abuse. How will you verify? What if I am negative of the virus but claimed I am positive then I got a donation from forum members?

Another thing is that if someone is already infected, they should be admitted and quarantined in some hospital. I expect them to be thinking of how to recover and not think about going online here.

How it is easy to abuse ? Anyone who claim that he has a corona virus would be required to show the positive Covid19 report. Anyone could not have a positive report unless he or she is suffering from this virus.
Secondly do you think people will claim that they have this virus when they actually don't. Wouldn't they be fearful that if they speak false about this, maybe one day they get affected by this virus.

I had corona. Was no fun, but it wasn't THAT bad.

Now I have been healthy for almost 2 weeks.
Still have a little reduced lung capacity, but it is getting better every day.

At first after getting better I was afraid that the lung damage would be permanent.

PS. Most people have a mild case of corona.

 i wish you full recovery i never imagine that there will be a bitcointalk member that will also be infected even it is really possible to every one.

  My wife and I were very ill Dec 26 - Jan 16  My wife was hospitalized for 3 days and treated for pneumonia.
Since I had a dozen packages of miners arrive in my home during Nov,Dec,Jan all shipped in under 3 days from China we may have been early victims of the disease. I don't     want any money or coins for help.


 But if anyone has spare  gloves or facemasks please donate some to your local police, firemen, hospitals. Also try to support you supermarkets clerks and cashiers. This job was never considered a good quality job for workers. It is now a very much needed job and those clerks are risking their lives to sell us the food.


  I am in NJ we are over 14,000 cases today and right next to New York with 60,000 cases. If you are in the USA in any state  your numbers will grow.
Look at the charts  for Spain and Italy


https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/spain/  still going up


https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/  these may have finally leveled off

USA is looking at 100,000 to 200,000 deaths in the next six months.

Hey there i actually spoke to one of the causes we are supporting and their resource list could be very useful for you both in regards to finding people to help and support you during your self isolation and in regards to funding masks ect.

You can see the full details on my other post or Dm me and il send you any resources I can find!

Hey really sorry about this and hope you both recover swiftly. Our main dev at xcvesting.io is working on securing face masks over in America. They are in high demand everywhere! Please keep us updated on your progress with everything.

I suspect that I may have been infected, as I woke up sweating for a couple of nights a few days ago. I had no other symptoms, but I can't think of any other likely explanation for this. Just a clarification for my critics, I did self isolate. I've lao done quite a lot of reading about the virus, and I am encouraged by a report in The Lancet that states that people over the age of 70 with no underlying health issues, have a mortality rate of less than 0.01 per cent. Most elderly deaths occur as a result of long term smoking, recent vaccination, diabetes, or pharmaceutical dependency. Also I note that more fatality reports atate that the patient died with a Corona infection, and not from the Corona virus. This would tend to indicate the the virus itself isn't a major cause of death.

If you think you've been infected, then please please take it easy and don't over-exert yourself. You are of course absolutely correct that statistics show averages and submerge the detail that represents individual people, and it may well be the case that the overwhelming majority of people in the 'vulnerable' age bracket are vulnerable due to underlying health issues and succumb to secondary infections... but at the same time it can be easy to go too far the other way, and assume 'I have no underlying health concerns therefore I am not at risk'.

Apologies if I sound a bit overbearing and intrusive; I'm sure you know full-well how to care care of yourself. But I'd rather post this and look like an idiot than not post at all.

The greatest threat to humanity is the banking system, and its associated eugenics programmes.
Natural immunity will take care of the Corona virus if we allow our bodies to develop immunity. We won't get on top of it if we continue to allow the elite controlled pharma and so-called health companies to continue their policy of replacing our immune systems with pharmaceutical dependency.

I am not talking about donating for the forum member that has been infected I am just curious on how many member has been infected.
 

lol there would be so many newbies declaring they are sick...

Each person should donate to their local community.


I am thinking of a crypto donation from the forum and it would be divided into the local moderator to share it into their country or community.
I don't have any plan on accepting or holding the donation I think it should be hold by a trusted member of the forum.
