A belated happy birthday! Awesome cake.

I thought you might find the COVID treatment guide from China (in English) interesting,

Interesting stuff include the protein to body weight ratios for diet, caution on timing of antibiotics (US hospitals tend to treat everything with antibiotics first, even for viruses), discussion of supplemental oxygen, and herbs that accompany treatment.

We got an oxygen concentrator early on from Banggood.com (I wanted to make sure it shipped direct, and didn't bounce around eBay or Amazon first). I didn't want us or our neighbor to have to go to the hospital just because oxygen was needed. It seemed a logical thing to keep in one's kit. In the last years, seven of our friends have died due to hospital-acquired infections (bronchitis, C. Diff), so I started researching.

If you can take liposomal vitamin C, it is a useful thing. My friend makes her own with a sonic device. I'm considering.

Eels. Sex lives. Who knew. The world has many interesting things. Thanks for sharing them!

I'll take a look at that document. Glad you got set up for the best mitigation as possible at home. Thanks for reading, and for the advice.

Thanks! Love your work.

My former classmate publishes good stuff. You might find some of it useful when you try to explain medical care to others. Insightful writing.

Speaking of health stuff, do you eat chocolate? It's a long story (returned to the States, chocolate bothered me...), I found chocolate that is single source, dried on premises (not molding in a transatlantic container), and processed by Felchlin. Price is the only constraint on consumption.

Sadly, the Swiss are not paying me off with free containers of chocolate to post this link. But I am open to it.

Ha! I actually don't really like chocolate. Blasphemy, I know. I never have. If you offered me fries over chocolate, I'd pick the fries any day. I'll take a look though, since you've shared some high praise!
