Here in Washington State SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19) is no longer a 'distant threat'. We had the first ever confirmed Covid-19 case in the United States and now we have claimed the title of first ever confirmed Covid-19 death in the United States. Sad day. Now our state officials are saying that a...

It's my understanding that the initial theory that smokers were at much higher risk of complications has turned out to not be supported by the data coming out of China.

I wonder what exactly the mean by "tested negative". Does that mean just by throat swab? Does it mean throat swab and fecal test?

This Feb 24th article in The Atlantic is very informative..... 'You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus' https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/02/covid-vaccine/607000/

So far I've seen no evidence where i live that people are paying attention to the warnings. And I live in a US city that shares an international border with British Columbia, Canada.

I too live in a very rural area. Seeing as it's still winter where I live, I've packed a cooler up with 5 heads of cabbage and 14 pounds of carrots as they will keep for a long time. A lot of coleslaw in my future perhaps!

Yes this is so much easier said then done. It's simply not legal for doctors to prescribe patients an 'emergency supply' of an opiate. Thankfully I have over time been putting away some to create my own stash as I live in earthquake territory and my doctor approves of my covert plan. But like...

Food and food for your pets!!!

My beloved grandmother is 97 years old (and quite healthy) and I fear the CFR (case fatality rate) for her age group may be 50% of worse (just a wild guess but probably not far off). My family has made plans for her to come stay with my spouse and I if it becomes necessary to isolate ourselves...

I fear that they give people a false sense of security and in turn they will not worry as much about things that are even more effective and important such as proper and frequent hand washing and limiting contact with people outside your household. I have a few friends who are fixating on mask...

There is solid and trustworthy data coming out of South Korea because they currently have a very good handle on tracking all the known cases. Right now they are reporting a death rate of 0.2 - 0.4 but it's expected that the death rate will increase in the coming weeks as those who are infected...

In light of this new information being announced by Chinese officials Dr. John Campbell posted an informative video today explaining the difference between 'droplet' vs 'airborne' transmission.

I highly recommend the videos being done by medical professor Dr. John Campbell (he is in the UK) about SARS-Cov-2 (aka: Covid-19) He posts 1 or 2 new videos a day and he is really great at examining and explaining the various studies that are now being published daily in medical journals about...

I have to agree. I live in the pacific northwest (in a small city that is hours away from Seattle) and a couple my spouse and I are good friends with (they also live up the road from us) just left for Thailand yesterday where they will be spending the next 2 months (they have family there). They...

I would imagine the fact that consumer DNA tests are thought to misread & misreport a not insignificant number of SNPs would also be a barrier.

As someone who is significantly disabled by autoimmune conditions (previously misdiagnosed with ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia) my experience has been that in my case there is no correlation whatsoever between my fatigue and my mood, emotional state, personal problems, etc. Over the past 6 years I have...

It screams 'confirmation bias' to me.

I've noticed this myself among the online autoimmune groups that I am a member of. Before they get their AI diagnosis many people are labeled as having 'Fibromyalgia' or 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' (sometimes both as I was) and once they get their autoimmune condition diagnosed they hold on to...

A lip biopsy is considered the 'gold standard' for diagnosing Sjogren's. In my case I have many of the classic symptoms associated with Sjogren's (decreased tear production, dry mouth, small fiber neuropathy & low complement C3) yet I am negative for both SS-B and SS-A. I decided against having...

A while ago I did some researching into the science around turmeric/curcumin and the studies I found showed that the doses that appeared to show any therapeutic benefits (unrelated to dementia) were very large doses that are way beyond what a person could realistically ingest. Also...
