Whether there's a "real" pandemic or not, isn't the major issue of the day. Like it or not, "the pandemic" is front and center in our lives. It's on the news every hour of the day. Stores are back to "suggesting" or "requesting" or "requiring" masks again. All federal offices, on all federal property, require masks. In some states and cities, proof of vaccination is required to even ENTER buildings - both public and private.
Some of us here are further along on the CS research side of things than others, and I'm sure are comfortable working with that medium to deal with protecting themselves. I'm pretty far behind on the CS learning curve, though, and I'm looking at the whole range of options that I have, that can address the illness that's going around. Call it a pandemic, or Wuhan Virus, or whatever else you want to label it there's something that is making many people - including some of my friends - sick. I'm happy to have a group like this, where we can talk about everything that may possibly address the pandemic/virus/whatever????? It happens that Ivermectin is a hot topic right now. We chose to follow an Ivermectin-based protocol starting in January, when we were casually exposed. When I submitted a new prescription in August, for the first time a pharmacist grilled me on why we're using a drug. Since then, there have been all kinds of moves to try to restrict its use for Covid-19 prevention and treatment, despite the continuing stream of positive results coming from all over the world. Some pharmacists are refusing to fill valid prescriptions (that's called "practicing medicine," and is mostly illegal, but....); the alphabet agencies are demonizing this Nobel prize-winning drug as nothing more than "horse dewormer," and the compliant media is carrying that water. Last week, I learned that the state medical board has issued a blanket warning to all doctors. Our PCP now tells us he must have documented proof that his patient is sick with the Wuhan Virus before he can prescribe Ivermectin, or risk action by the state medical authorities. Everything I've learned in my research says that we have our best shot at staying healthy if we move to Phase II of our protocol "at the onset of symptoms." Getting to a doctor and getting tested can take days. My friend was fine on Monday, got sick on Tuesday, was told to come in the FOLLOWING MONDAY to be tested, and by then the illness had progressed to the "Covid pneumonia" stage. She has had Multiple Sclerosis and has other co-morbidities, and she had to wait A WEEK to get a test! We don't want to wait that long. Perhaps, in a few months, I will feel confident enough to try making CS again. It's been a long time, and I never felt I had the hang of it. When life got in the way, the gear got stuck in the back of a cupboard. I expect, at that time, my posts to this group will be riddled with "newbie" questions as I learn. Thanks for listening.
