The amount of viral load one is exposed to is critical. If exposed to a small load, you have a much better possibility of your body being able to fight off the virus. Even though wearing a mask isn't foolproof, it helps limit the viral load a person is exposed to. The goal is to try to prevent...

Florida supposedly had one of the best plans for nursing homes and other care facilities, but they are getting hit hard like many other states. From Orlando Sentinel. I doubt if twice a week testing will make much difference. One infected staff person could easily infect 10 or more people in a...

This is from the post I made last Wednesday: I just came across this article in San Francisco Chronicle:

It's a balancing act with no right answer. The 1st link I posted has a list of things you might take as a prophylactic. This was put together by a major medical school in Virginia (EVMS). It's mostly over-the-counter supplements you can take. It also has a list, with dosages, of supplements...

One question I asked in my earlier post is where are best practices for Covid-19? I just came across this article which you might want to look at if you are interested in best treatment options. This article was developed by EVMS (Eastern Virginia Medical School) - EVMS CRITICAL CARECOVID-19...

That's true for infections, but not necessarily deaths. It is mainly older people who are dying, so where are you likely to find old people with comorbidities?

Stay at home was only intended to prevent overrunning hospital capabilities, to spread the rate of infection over a longer period of time, not to stop the spread of the virus. Having the number of cases tick up is expected, and hopefully through tracing can be tamped down before it gets out of...

Just some thoughts .... I think that if we ever get real numbers, that close to 50% of people who died from covid-19 became infected in a medical facility such as a nursing home, assisted living home, other elder care facilities, VA homes, hospitals, doctor's offices, clinics, etc. My reasoning...

From April thru November, I probably average at lest 4 hours a day in the sun. I find that sunlight energizes me. Even in the summer, I spend several hours outside in the hottest part of the day.

There are some videos on youtube on how to breath if you get covid-19. These are breathing exercises you should start now. At least one is by a respiratory specialist. I also read that you should stay as active as possible and not sleep on your back if you do get Covid-19. The idea is to try to...

Just wanted to add that low vitamin d can also be genetic. I get lots of sun, but my vitamin d level stayed low. I started supplementing and had to take 15,000 IU of D3 a day to get my vitamin d to top of range. I found in the summer, I could drop down to 10,000 IU a day. When you look at what...

From summary of Preventing Cardiac Complication of COVID-19 Disease With Early Acute Coronary Syndrome Therapy: A Randomised Controlled Trial. (C-19-ACS). ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04333407. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04333407?cond=COVID-19&draw=2&rank=6

My guess is that it is chronic inflammation, in addition to a compromised immune system, that is the problem. It appears that in some people, covid-19 results in massive inflammation. Add that to an already diseased body with chronic inflammation and it's likely more than a compromised immune...

ACE-2.

With over 7k deaths in US, I guaranty they have a spreadsheet with the data.

I believe endocarditis and strep are both bacterial, not viral, so not sure how to relate those to covid-19. It's hard to find specific information, but what I have put together from listening to several interviews is the main problems are age, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and weak immune...

Sounds rough. I just got off Plavix after 6 months for stents. I never had any bleeding problems connected to Plavix.

There are no posts in their TAVR forum.

I'm a member at Mended hearts and Heart Valve Surgery. I had TAVR 6 months ago, so I understand the procedure. What I am looking for is other people who have had TAVR to share info and asks questions.
