As for Vitamin D (Sun),
An estimated one billion people worldwide are either vitamin D insufficient or deficient
Blood pressure pills (ACE inhibitors) may be making people die from Coronavirus

Several observational studies, which track participants over time without assigning a specific treatment, have associated low vitamin D levels with greater susceptibility to acute respiratory infections.

^^^ Here in Arizona we can easily make TP out of prickly pear cactus.


In the Pacific NorthWest a plant called poison oak can be used.  I've heard of it happening...and I'm sure the victim would have wished they had used prickly pear cactus instead.

Declaring War on the coronavirus would be largely symbolic, although it may make China and the CCP uncomfortable. It could allow countries to take over factories to produce certain goods (I don’t think this is needed right now, but it may be if there is a shortage of medicines and antibiotics). It would also send a signal to citizens as to how serious the situation is to get citizens to adhere to recommendations that should help slow the spread of the virus.

Lockdowns and unlimited State of Emergency powers as the new normality are not “recommendations”.  In this context, a “symbolic” declaration of war could only segue existing irrational, cowardly panic into full-blown war hysteria—a game at which the Americans are history’s great grandmasters.  And isn’t the People’s Republic of China supposed to be the Communist country—the one with stock exchanges?  How would boob-bait propaganda, which the PRC government certainly understands, somehow make them uncomfortable in a situation in which American domestic policy turns towards state control of private enterprises, as it seems you are suggesting?

By the way, America failed to totally forbid travel to and from Africa during the 2014 Ebola outbreaks.  That would have been rational.  Now, they are declaring war and implementing effectual martial law in places because of coronavirus?  Seriously?

OT/ some argue that the Cold War was actually WW3. There were a number of proxy wars during the Cold War so that no two nuclear powers were fighting each other and there was the arms race.

US and USSR were never anything but friends, beneath the surface.  Blowing up and bleeding out other people all over the world in “proxy wars” was aught but a game of golf between friends who are very competitive.  Edit:  I should add that it was much more convenient for Oceana America to be perpetually at war with Eurasia, than to fight hokey made-up wars such as the War on Terror, and now the War on Plague—not to mention all of the American domestic Wars (Drugs, Poverty, etc.).

I (don’t need to) wonder how many people realize that America has a long history even in its domestic policy of implementing Marxist policies under other names.  This does require a populace which habitually confuses labels for substance.

Watching the Democratic debate and Joe Biden is referring to battling the coronavirus a “war”. Brian Mohnihan, CEO of BOA, described the coronavirus crisis as a “war”. Israel PM Netanyahu said his country is at “war” with an invisible enemy, the coronavirus.

I am curious if Trump or other world leaders will describe the coronavirus situation as a “war” and if so, will any country declare war against the coronavirus.

War on an emotion must have lost its oomph.

If the war ostensibly waged on the emotion had the proximate effect of increasing that emotion, what will the War on Plague do?

(I would suggest upgrading to a War on Wars; but Wilson already did that, with the War to End Wars!)

the political use of 'war' has always been over used

war is a significant conflict of groups of people opposed to another group of people by use of armed weapons

when its a task of getting its own people to hide away and isolate themselves to avoid getting harmed.  thats more of a retreat

..
as for other overuses.. war on drugs was more of a term like prohibition

What's it like under lockdown? Are there shortages of things in the shops when you go out to buy food?

First define lockdown.
You are not allowed to exit apart for going to work and groceries (supermarkets are open).
You have to carry a piece of paper to exhibit to the police in case they stop you (typical italian: more laws, more piece of paper, no substantial controls). [...]

fillippone, thank you for the ground report of conditions in your country.

FYI, this was totally hypothetical:

  • Government control of food supplies
  • Government control of both local and long-distance travel
  • Arbitrary lockdowns
  • Direct government control of each individual’s body, under the rubric of e.g. “healthcare”
  • Arbitrary, peremptory government orders of any kind whatsoever
  • Total government control of communications*
(* In my nightmare, this has not yet started; thus, I would still be able to post this message.  The worst part of my nightmare is when I discover that dissent is so marginal amidst the mass-panic, the government finds it unnecessary to control communications.)

My best wishes for your survival.  (And I am not only, or even primarily speaking of the virus.  Well, that, too.)

^^ I can see that the European countries have started to report deaths and infections now.
The virus is now established there. I wonder how the UK is going to tackle the virus as they take a whole different public health strategy.

The virus was established already some weeks ago, thanks to international traveling and tourism.
We'll see how the UK does with that pretty soon, i guess. The real question is: What do they really try to accomplish with their strategy.
Every other european country tries to slow down the infection rates and support the national healthcare system/infrastructure to avoid more economic damage than by just waiting it out (as they did before).

Niche thread.
Posting here my last post about it in the WO:



What's it like under lockdown? Are there shortages of things in the shops when you go out to buy food?

First define lockdown.
You are not allowed to exit apart for going to work and groceries (supermarkets are open).
You have to carry a piece of paper to exhibit to the police in case they stop you (typical italian: more laws, more piece of paper, no substantial controls).
Shops, restaurants, museums, basically everything but supermarkets is closed.

You stay at home.
Many can work from home, many firm closed and laid staff on vacation, of course many already lost the job or are close to.
How to spend day at home is basically your choice, but I know people with kids who are losing their minds.

Main practical problem is going to the shops.
Of course we shop online, but the infrastructure is of course not ready to absorb such a demand: every major store provide online shopping and front door delivery, but where I live the available windows (two weeks) are already fully booked. For every different shop (I tried, everyone has).
Bear in mind that if an infected person is found on a logistical center, they have to shut it down, sanitise it and then reopen. Only to close it a few hour later when another one is tested positive. A logistical nightmare.
So you go shopping to the brick and mortar shop: it's a mess because you cannot simply go in: as a security measure only one few person can enter, so access is reduced, hence big queues. Also while queuing you must stay  distant. Result are very long queues outside food supermarkets (in a sense , now I understand those who raided shelves a few weeks back).
This is easy, I do feel not comfortable queuing with other people, but I can do and it's a minor hassle.
Who is quarantined (cannot go outside the house because exposed to the virus), well that's a totally different situation. I don't know how they can survive if there is not anyone providing them food from the shop as also this is forbid to them .

LATER EDIT:
Just an idea of the queues
https://vm.tiktok.com/pa7gpD/

No idea where it is taken.
I live in a city, similar queues, little bit less daunting scenario.


In the italian board there is a guy whose mother is in the hospital, so he's quarantined and he's describing the whole situation, he's keeping a little diary.
You can read if you want, no scary or gruesome details.

People are panicking about this to an unbelievable extent. It's a bad disease, to be sure, and some precautions should be taken, but it's not worth

Nothing is worth panic.  Death itself is not cause for panic.  And nothing is worth this!

I drafted this yesterday evening, offline.  Funny to see you telling people not to panic.  Edit:  And I somehow didn’t notice that I was replying to a post three days old. :-/

...he has declared that coronavirus is “The End of the World”—quote-unquote; his words. [...]

MAN UP.  OR SHUT UP.

(I told him that straight, then had a calm and productive discussion with his wife.)



(I recently had all of the symptoms of the virus. I wonder if I had it, or if it was just the ordinary flu. It was very unpleasant, though I got over it in a few days.)

Whatever it was, I am glad you’re ok.

I have been unable to find reliable information on whether surviving a coronavirus infection confers lasting immunity, and to what degree.  It seems to be a yet unsettled question.
