    If it was methylated spirits you wouldn't have to worry about waking up.

    I was thinking more of the Handmaid's Tale.

    Please provide a credible source confirming these are the two top virologists on the planet.

    Also, Wolfgang Wodard is a politician

    Saw a pretty clever hack the other day.
    Man walks into Woolies, goes straight to the fruit and veggie isle and puts 2 freezer bags over each hand, then goes back to collect his basket/trolley. Presumably goes about doing what he needs to and then throws out the bags on his way out.

    Problem is, whatever he picks up he has handled with the "gloves", and then gets home and presumably unloads and stores whatever he bought with bare hands....so it is questionable in terms of effectiveness....

    Here gloves are free at the door (as is hand sanitizer) and compulsory to use in the fruit and veg area.

    I will be happy with life. It was pointed out to me by a virologist in recent years it is probably not life. Apparently the stain and lab where it is grown makes a difference. The age you are when vaccinated makes a difference. I had it as a very young person that is a plus.

    I had tuberculosis vaccine just like everyone else in my generation as a young person about 30 years ago just like Lizzie said.

    Purely judging by this thread it looks like I have a lot to going for me. Maybe I am immune to the virus :p

    1. I am taking hydroxychloroquine every day (been doing so the last 10 years)
    2. I have had my TB vaccine
    3. I am having D- vitamin supplements every day

    What else do I need to take? :p

    Okay, I have not yet need headlice treatment (also reported to kill virus in the lab test):D

    Zinc .... so I'm 3 out of 4 too ... TB ... Vit D (day spent in the garden) ... Zinc as standard for skin and hair.

    Only need to add magnesium to the "must have", already taken daily for twitchy muscles, to have the jackpot

    We're also taking Zinc and Olive Leaf Extract capsules, a particular brand/strength suggested by a blood scientist we see. Both of these to boost our immune systems.

    I'm glad you could get your hydroxychloroquine - Plaquenil? My wife has trouble getting it these days.

    This remedy was mentioned earlier in the thread
    Hindu group offers cow urine in a bid to ward off coronavirus

    I'd put that remedy on the same level as some of the others until there's proof.

    At least the TB solution is undergoing a trial.
