Thank you for asking. Things are progressing and today I have been without fever and surprisingly starting to get some sense of taste back. Lung capacity is reduced with dry coughs. The dry coughs when one gives in to them sets off a chain reaction which is hard to stop. I remembered a couple of days ago, that I in the past with success had exerted my will to not give in to the cough. And it actually works or at least it does for me, which means that the body does not exhaust itself through coughing and thus has more energy to heal. My wife is also on the mend and has been surfing it better than I with less days of fever and only little coughing.
Needless to say, we have taken a range of supplements of which liposomal Vit. C, Vit D and Zinc are perhaps the most prominent. We did order some HCQ just to have in the future if circumstances require it.
Quarantine restrictions might be different from country to country, I guess, but here, they sound like they were drawn up in an oxygen deprived office as they sound inane. It sets out to avoid any contacts with pets and if one shares a flat with someone else like a partner, then (for the 10 days) to
- sleep in separate rooms
- stay in the room at all times except to go the toilet
- bring food to the room
- air the room frequently
- separate all cooking utensils in to two
- disinfect the toilet and handles after each use
- and to wear a mask when going outside the room for those times when it is absolutely necessary to go out!
The above are the main points though there are also instructions on how to cough, how when and for how long to wash the hands, how to deposit of paper tissues after use and more. But I gather that you get the gist of it. It mentions nothing about how to look after your immune system.Nada!
My guess is that if someone takes that literally, then their chance of a quick recovery would be diminished. What I find the worst is the recommendations to avoid contact with other humans or pets.
Yes, it is like a bad flu and it is annoying to have no energy and cough and splutter but it is not the end of things. Like Craig Murray and many others, I survived the Asian flu in 1968, so personally I am not concerned. We are concerned though about the older generation who lives in the flat below us, but for now, we can only wait and see.
