kerbiloid Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) After toilet paper a new local hype started: the ginger. Somebody (probably a ginger seller) in internet said that chewing of ginger helps against, and the avalanche runs. So, a bestseller would be a ginger paper in rolls.

Scotius Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Interesting. No one yet mentioned traditional folk medicine against cold-like illnesses: raw garlic and onions. Also honey, which have anti-microbial properties too. In case anyone's interested: take a slice of bread, smear butter or lard on it, sprinkle future sandwich with generous amount of sliced or chopped garlic or onion, add salt to taste.

As to public statements, a proponent of garlic and honey would be one Ramzan Kadyrov. Lest that moment of lucidity last too long, he then suggested summarily executing quarantine violators.

They propose domestic production of favipiravir, as well as the home-brewn anti-retrovirals triazavirin and fortepren. Quote Fortepren®, a product of the phosphorylation of polyprenols from fir needles (with sodium polyprenyl phosphate being the main active ingredient), belongs to the class of antiviral drugs with immunomodulating activity.

kerbiloid Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Just read that anti-TB immunization with BCG vaccine has affected the coronavirus mortality very much. In countries with total BCG vaccination the numbers are from several to several tens times lower than in countries without this. (Can't bring the link as it's full of politics, but it's Illarionov's blog on echo.) Russia and China do BCG vaccination. Most of others don't.

The take away is that proning patients early, not just on vents but with nasal O2 as well, is a good idea. Since I'm a stomach/side sleeper anyway, I'll remember this in the unlikely event that I should find myself admitted for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
