Used to drink it upon occasion as liked it. (There is a 8 hour time barrier between you and me, there were at least 8 new pages of messages in thread, when I woke.) President Trump advised on Chloroquine and two American seniors drank Chloroquinphosphate, which is an aquarium cleaning product, and soon died. Don't know if Trump is 'of note' in your book, but I thought it would be safe here to warn about experimenting with large quantities of (gin-)tonic. Two liters of tonic equals 1 tablet of quinine, btw. If you drink two liters of tonic, your heart rhythm may be seriously irregular. If you drinkt two liters of gin-tonic, you'll end up in ER or you'll die of that, rather than of covid19... ☠️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite likely that this virus will be lurking for a couple of years or until most people are vaccinated (assuming we get a vaccine developed in the near term). The Spanish Flu, killed between 50 and 100 million ( estimated as they lost count) between 1917 and 1920. For example: Canada lost 62,000 troops to battle deaths during WWI and then a further 55,000 to the Spanish Flu before it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Our population at the time was around 7 million mostly living on farms, ranch’s and widely spread small communities. With these demographics of a relatively small population and the large size of country we were lucky. Wb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE FORUM, as the WORLD has opinions. I proclaimed I'm no Dr, you may be ??? Or scientist ??? So, just some dudes thoughts on a websiite .No one owns the right to opinion exclusively, of course JMO.... No need to get offended. Death is a sensitive area and people are now having to make some choices about death, their own and others. That opens the door to who should or should not be given living priorities and based upon what? It is a nasty quandary faced by all of us whether in medicine or not.

This product is not certainly made to medical standards (God only knows what it can be contaminated with!). Do not take this non-medicine in place of actual medicine. One is made in a factory without oversight and one is heavily regulated. Wb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Unfortunately, some of the labs have thousands of tests that have not been processed due to the sheer number. They are catching up with them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 5 hours ago, Bosco-d-gama said: So far covid19 has resulted in 11,000 deaths with 367,000 documented cases and not over a year but in 3 weeks to 1.5 months and most of those in a few hot spots. That is almost a 3% mortality rate... It would be encouraging to know the numbers of those who were positive but never were tested and never had to be hospitalized, i.e., survivors we won't even know about.
