@St-Sinner Well, that is your opinion is it not? But as a once 'Front-liner' I'll stick with mine since I presume you've never had any real dealings with the Front-line in Hospitals/Nursing, etc. Yes the ancilliary staff/workers do their bit BUT the Front-liners are WAY, WAY beyond the Ancilliary staff in what they are called upon to, to sacrifice from themselves and their private/family lives. As an old saying goes, "You'll never never know until you've gone there and done it."

I often set about testing for myself what Authorities state just to see IF they are right or merely barking up the wrong tree. One I did as a teenager that got a few stern looks from my Dad was to check and see if an ordinary person with a shortwave radio receiver and a piece of wire could tap into the phone line. It worked, no cut the insulation, no soldering, etc, just wound the wire around the phone line to the house, connected to the radio antenna, instant phone tapping.

@FrayedBear Vitamin C helps boost the natural immune system especially in we who are older than 50-55 years of age, Vitamin B12 is also suggested for those of us in that age range as the Ileum starts having difficulty in absorbing from the foods we eat normally. Oh yeah, instead of hand sanitizers, my good friend from the C.S.L. labs told me when we chatting on-line the other evening, try using Glen 20 Disinfectant Spray both around the house and ON yourself especially when going shopping, spray yourself, your hands and clothing with it, it lasts for approx. 3 hours at a time. They done extensive test using in the labs btw.

Triphid replies on Mar 28, 2020:

@FrayedBear Certain forms of Pneumonia can be vaccinated against but ones resultant from other causes like Covid 19 for example cannot be vaccinated against as they are a side effect/resultant of the original infection. As I state before I suffered with countless bouts of pneumonia from childhood, the first occuring when I was just 7 months old, the last was when I 14 years old, I still have visible to x-rays scarring on my lungs from pneumonia, my lung capacity ranges from around 82 - 86% of the normal lung capacity which is why, on Medical Advice, I get my Flu Vaccinations EVERY year without fail, have been vaccinated against Tuberculosis, etc, etc, and take Vitamin C every day without fail.

@Petter Yes we too here are Covid Free atm ( touchwood) but at the City Council Monthly Meeting last Wednesday Evening when a Council Member offered up a Proposal to create an Isolation Zone radiating from Broken Hill to the Darling River north at Wilcannia and across to the S.A. - N.S.W. Borders, south at Pooncarrie and again across to the same Borders it was vetoed, seemingly out of hand, by yet another of her 'Mayoral Minutes.' This region, if you check a map, IS isolated by distances already and enacting such a proposal would serve to enhance the protection of the populace no end. It was also proposed that ONLY essential services and transportation of Goods, etc, be permitted into the Isolation Zone, that was vetoed as well. I'm starting to think, seriously, that our Mayor is beginning to exhibit some symptoms of Delusions of Granduer of late.

@Petter According to the latest stats, cases in Australia are clustering in around the large coastal cities and regions and our rate is rising yes, but not as fast as elsewhere thankfully. Where I live, we are 500+ kilometres from the closest big city, Adelaide, Sth. Australia and so far NO cases reported here. Our local City Council met recently but REJECTED out of hand a motion put to it to isolate the region encompassing Broken Hill, Menindee, Wilcannia and the areas south and west of Broken Hill to a radius of 60+ kilometres. Bloody stupid to reject such a proposal in my opinion since we have the vast and almost empty spaces of the Outback to act as a shield of sorts.

@p-nullifidian Actually, here in Australia only the Doctor looking after the patient can order a blood transfusion and then it is ONLY done by Blood Typing, Rh factor and it MUST have checxked and cleared of any AIDS/HIV infection or Antigens first. This I know for a fact on account that, a) I was a practising nurse for many years, and, b) I was at my daughter's side 24/7 when she underwent Chemotherapy for Mature B Cell Lymphoma and the treatments often involve post therapy Blood Transfusions due to low Haemmoglobin and Platelet levels.

@DenoPenno Malarial drugs are designed to work on the Malaria Parasite that causes malaria when the Anopheles mosquito has passed it on to you, most basic AntiMalaria drugs mostly allievate the symptoms such as Fever, etc, the heavier Antimalaria drugs are needed to actually destroy the Malaria Parasite. As with almost ALL viral infections there are very few Anti-viral drugs available and most, unlike the antibiotics, are specific to only certain viruses and the treatment of them, etc. Most 'over-the counter' Flu remedies have a very limited effect in that they treat/alleviate only the fevers, aches and pains, etc, NOT the actual viral infection. As a very old but none-the-less effective adage goes, " One should feed a cold and STARVE a Fever.," i.e. drink plenty of fluids with any fever since it works to help flush the viruses and their effects from the system. So, yes by all means use something like Asparin/Paracetamol to reduce the fever, the aches, etc, BUT drink as much fluids as possible because keep the body well hydrated is ESSENTIAL.

Triphid replies on Mar 23, 2020:

In actual fact, whenever anyone has a blood transfusion they can NEVER know where and from whom the blood was sourced originally since blood has NO identification markers unless a DNA test is performed on it. I was reading an article in a medical Journal I still subscribe to yesterday where, during the Vietnam War, a very bogitted U.S. high ranking Officer flatly refused a blood transfusion UNLESS proof could shown that the blood he would receive came from a WHITE solder and NOT an African-American one. FFS, blood is blood, it knows no colour nor ethnicity.
