When Is A LockDown Not A LockDown?
I mentioned a few days ago how much Jan and I like Vincent Van Gogh, and especially his Starry Night.
In fact we have a lot of swag using that picture.
And we even have take-offs on the Van Gogh theme.
Jan has both this mug and a shirt with this image. But recently we found this poster online,
which combines two of Jan’s favs, Starry Night and cats. The only problem is that we don’t have wall space for a poster here in the rig.
But then we found this online.
A Queen-Size version of this just might be on our WuFlu Stimulus Check shopping list.
Speaking of Stimulus Checks, it seems the first direct deposited ones started hitting bank accounts yesterday, so the check’s in the mail, or the Internet, I guess.
Our long-time friend, Chris Yust, commented yesterday that she was worried about Jan and I since we went out so much, also saying she hadn’t left the house in 4 weeks. So here was my answer:
I go into work 3 days a week (We’re considered an essential business since we sell masks, gloves, sanitizer, disinfectant, sterilizers and autoclaves). And Jan and I go out and get groceries a couple of times a week since we have limited storage room in the RV.
Except for the designated entrance/exit areas, you really couldn’t tell yesterday was any different than a normal Thursday afternoon.
I think what gets lost in the whole ‘lockdown’ meme is that that probably more people are out working than are staying home. I mean, all the people at all the stores are out and about, selling stuff to us.
The only places that are completely closed are places like general merchandise stores, hair salons, nail salons, movie theaters, churches, sporting events, etc.
But think of all the people that are working just like normal, i.e, big box stores, gas stations, auto repair places, car dealerships, hardware stores, power plants, water utilities, waste treatment, garbage pickup, Internet providers, cable TV, chemical plants, refineries, trucking companies, phone companies, and so on and so on.
The problem I see with all this is that we don’t have a goal line to reopen things. Some people say that we should just listen to the experts, but what if they don’t agree.
Do you realize that some of the ‘EXPERTS’ say we should stay in lockdown like this for 12-18 MONTHS until a vaccine is available. Dr. Fauci says we should stay in lockdown until there are no more new cases and no more deaths.
Since seasonal flu deaths happen year-round, not just in ‘flu season’, and the WuFlu probably won’t be any different, how long are you willing to stay home?
On the latest HCQ news, the American Thoracic Society, America’s major medical association, endorsed using hydroxychloroquine for seriously ill hospitalized coronavirus patients?
The VA and the US Bureau of Prisons started buying up HCQ two weeks ago.
The lead doctor who heads up the largest lupus/rheumatoid arthritis practice in the U.S. at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, with over 10,000 patients, says not a single one of his patients has contracted CoVid-19. Not a single one.
These patients are on daily doses of HCQ for their diseases, which is why 1000’s of doctors and nurses around the country are taking HCQ as a WuFlu preventative.
It seems that there have been a few trials for HCQ that didn’t seem to show much results, but a closer look seems to show that they were using HCQ by itself, and not in combination with the Z-Pack and the Zinc Sulfate.
As a reminder, here’s the full formula:
Hydroxychloroquine
400mg Twice a Day on Day 1
200mg Twice a Day on Day’s 2-5
Azithromycin (Z-pack)
500mg Once a Day for 5 Days
Zinc Sulfate
220mg Once a Day for 5 Days
And don’t forget the Zinc Sulfate. It’s very important.
