Covid 9/13/20

Where was this advice in the very beginning vs creating a problem so great so we had to develop a vaccine and other super expensive drugs for treatment? https://www.insider.com/fauci-takes-recommends-vitamin-d-and-c-supplements-immunity-boost-2020-9?amp

“The leading infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci recommends taking your vitamins now that school has started and flu season is nearing.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, specifically suggested taking vitamin D and C supplements and said he takes them himself in an Instagram Live interview with the actress Jennifer Garner on Thursday.

"If you’re deficient in vitamin D, that does have an impact on your susceptibility to infection. I would not mind recommending, and I do it myself, taking vitamin D supplements," he said. "The other vitamin that people take is vitamin C because it’s a good antioxidant, so if people want to take a gram or so of vitamin C, that would be fine."

There’s a large body of research supporting Fauci’s recommendations. Studies suggest vitamin D and C are your best bet for supplementing immune health”

Shame on people not to tell people what they do themselves – everything recommended here I have or would have done myself and my loved ones. Vitamin D was recommended on this report early in April https://covid19mathblog.com/2020/04/covid-4-19-20/

“I take Vitamin C, Zinc drops (every other day), B12, and Vitamin D drops – support of Vitamin D – https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/the-surprising-role-vitamin-d-plays-in-your-immune-health/

Perhaps not fake news but certainly convoluted news – https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/13/health/long-haul-covid-fatigue-breathing-wellness/index.html

“About three-quarters of those hospitalized for Covid-19 could become long haulers, according to a paper uploaded to the pre-print server medRxiv on August 14 without having yet been vetted by outside experts or accepted for publication.”

Lets not also note to get to the point of hospitalization MOST have more than 1 comorbidity.

“ Corey Coopersmith, a 36-year-old fitness consultant in Las Vegas, hasn’t been able to work since first getting sick in late February. He suffers a constant ebb and flow of symptoms, and yet visit after visit to medical specialists has turned out a series of "normal" lab tests.”

“A mixed martial arts fighter in his 20s, Coopersmith was in great shape when he contracted Covid-19 in February, boasting of a resting heart rate of 58 beats per minute.”

Out of all the cases noted the above intrigued me the most – in order to be a fitness consultant and doing MMA must be pretty healthy – but clearly he cant be 36 and in his 20’s. He is a real person according to google and he does have a few links to diet and mma. However as noted before in other studies long-term impact probability is also a function of comorbidity. Its time to get healthy. Also these tail risk events of long-term damage should be compelling enough for one to do within reason to not purposely be exposed to high viral load.
