Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

Alzheimers, no. But this was just asked and answered. I'd be worried 😉

Maybe my dad's high as well explaining the alt.

Not a problem. My father was 6'5", a little bigger than me, and it definitely becomes impossible to handle care at home at some point. If your dad was a vet you might be able to get him into a VA home. I will warn you, though, I had to go through 160 pages of legal documents in the "contract " (my siblings are not quite as thorough as I am ...). Then my father passed away a week before having to go into the home, so that was a blessing in many ways.

My dad's slightly smaller than I am but larger than my mom and her helper put together. And physically strong. And obstinate. Add the confusion and frustration of dementia to it and it's a deadly combo.

We get great subsidies for what they call the pioneer generation here. A hospital bed and mattress arrive tomorrow from healthcare at a 90% discount tomorrow.

I'm breaking a rule by posting here but I'll risk the mute.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad's troubles. I hope things go as well as possible. That can't be an easy situation to be in.

Thanks man. But what's life without it's challenges? 😉

Glad you're doing better, Idilis. Hang in there. Eat your vitamins. There's research about various post Covid therapies and after wading through all the BioSpeak on one paper it comes down to eating your vegetables. There's a suggestion that eating Sulforaphane supplements may help, but it's usually cheaper to go straight to the source. Throw some broccoli on the Idli.

"Sulforaphane is a chemical that is made when chewing cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and broccoli sprouts. A chemical in these vegetables called glucoraphanin mixes with an enzyme in humans called myrosinase, which produces sulforaphane."

Why would they mute you, Eldred? Have you been a naughty boy?

Thanks man.

I do love my broccoli and spinach. I normally consume a huge salad in the morning to ensure I get it out of the way for the day.

It's the sentence structure that makes it all the more painful.

Not to mention they blamed China

covid is pretty much nearly gone. Or it is just that nobody talks about it

I think I posted in this thread under a different username some time back. It would have been a year or so ago but I'm too lazy to go look. At least I'm not arguing with myself. (online anyway)

I would like to clarify that never block anyone based on 1-2 posts unless they are pure spam or abusive somehow. The key is body of content. If someone posts here and they are posting about Covid-related stuff most of the time, then it's not an issue if you go "off topic" for a few posts (even if it's your first post as in Eldred's case). If someone joins the thread and every post from the get-go is "join my club" or "Covid is a hoax, just because", then after 3 in a row without any redeeming content, I will generally block someone.

See example below:

An unexpected surprise. https://www.yahoo.com/news/80-old-forgotten-antibiotic-may-180000655.html

how is this forum still alive

It got the vaccines and wore a mask.

So did I, but I still got covid.

And you're alive unless we're having a seance
