Now that you’ve all been detained in your dark and sunless homes for some time, I hope you’re all taking your daily dose of supplemental Vitamin D3.
It would be a shame if government action intended to reduce some disease, ends up causing more of other disease.
1000 IU a day ought to be enough.
Fair warning, anyone that snitches on me is getting coughed on.

Two blue shop towels (available at Home Depot, AutoZone, Harbor Freight, etc.) have been tested to be an effective filtration medium, filtering up to 95% of 0.3 micron particles.
Cotton masks are less effective, filtering 20%-60% of 0.3 micron particles, and need a filtration medium sewn into them, or a pocket to add a filtration medium into.
Some research suggests COVID-19 may be a blood disease attacking hemoglobin, resulting in low blood oxygen that doctors are attempting to address with ventilation.
It’s hypothesized that the anti-malarial drug Hydroxychloroquine (if effective) may be effective against COVID-19 for the same reason that it’s effective against malaria, i.e. it inhibits the pathway both diseases potentially use to attack hemoglobin.
There is a genetic condition called Thalassemia that is protective against malaria (see image attached). It would be interesting to see if COVID-19 patients with Thalassemia have a lower fatality rate than those patients without Thalassemia, as that may shed some light on the link between Hydroxychloroquine, Malaria, and COVID-19.
Another link between Malaria, COVID-19, and blood. Studies suggest that people with blood type O may be at lower risk for both diseases.

I went through my garage and found a bunch of my old respirators and N95 masks. Quality PPE. I never use these anymore. I’m debating if I should donate them to my local hospital.
Forget N95. You want P100. Wear a mask, any mask.
Strangely enough, this respirator is more comfortable to wear than any masks I’ve tried. No glasses fogging issue either.
