WHAT do we know about COVID 19 4 MONTHS LATER?
- Thread starter n2deep
- Start date
Why get tested?
- To have awareness so you can prevent spreading the virus to others
- Depends on test method and your virus incubation period. If you got it today, it may not show up on a nose swab for a few days.
- Unknown. You have limited immunity for a while. It is not yet known if that is 3 months or 10 years
- Not worth the risk. You get to enjoy immunity for a while, but you can still spread the virus through surface to surface transfer
- No, it is a virus. Vitamins may help with recovery, but not in a significant way
There have been no "specific reports" of Covid19 directly from contact with contaminated surfaces - WHO confirms this
"WHO moreover declared in June that truly “asymptomatic transmission” is in fact “very rare”, as data from numerous countries showed. Some of the few confirmed cases were due to direct body contact, i.e. shaking hands or kissing. "
this is a good resource on covid19 data https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/
as far as getting it versus waiting for a vaccine? def having a natural immunity is better and more effective. vaccines wear off quicker. and each shot loses effectiveness

I don't even know where to begin on your post. I'll just go bottom up.
With 136,000+ deaths in this country, I don't know how you could possibly be promoting natural immunity. It is like those crazies that had a Covid party and then a relatively young person dies. Most of the people on this board are at a stage of their life when they are at risk.
The swprs.org link you posted is best known for the American media empire article that claims all the media we consume in the US funnels up to the Counsel on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission. In short, you quoted an anti-American conspiracy website that believes everyone is being controlled. This matches your 4 of your 6 posts to date on the virus on this site.
The World Health Organization were lambasted for their comments on "very rare" ... "asymptomatic transmission". Statistically that is correct, but as those of us who actually liked math in school will tell you, it is the dice rolling formula, not a straight percentage when it comes to contracting the virus. With 3.4 million cases with sparse testing, and 136K US deaths, incidents of death are statistically very rare. Your conspiracy site quotes a greater risk from a daily car ride to work on it's "Facts" page. That's an empty fact when counting the dead, especially when you know a few people that died. The point of hand washing is to slow surface transmission. Otherwise they could just say, don't touch any person for a few months, which really doesn't make sense for the people that contribute to this board
I don't know if you intentionally picked a screen name to represent "Chemical Trails" which is another conspiracy theory. I'm okay with that as it doesn't hurt anyone. But I'm not okay with false facts that can get people that I've communicated with on this and other boards killed.
To each his own though. You have the right to your opinion

Why get tested? Peace of mind mostly. This virus is asymptomatic so you can have it and not get sick. But that also makes you a carrier. Good news is if you test positive and are asymptomatic, chances are excellent you will develop natural antibodies and the virus will leave your system within the quarantine period.
Are results 100%? Yes for positive. No for negative. Current test kits do not pick up low concentrations of the virus. So you can have it and still test negative.
Can you get it again? Cases of relapse have been reported. Still unsure if if you can catch a different strain of the virus.
Are you better ff having had it? Only in the sense that you will have the antibodies before the vaccine is available. The wild card is not knowing how it will affect you. The majority just have flu symptoms. But there’s always worst case.....
Does taking extra vitamins/others help? Yes. Especially vitamins or supplements that boosts your immune system. A strong immune system helps fight the virus should you get it.

Vitamin D , May help not just a little but a lot, covid 19 is a series virus for some but for some that have healthy bodies , it may help not just with recovery , but once it goes into the body and the person is healthy , he may not even feel it he has it , covid 19 hates healthy bodies . also zinc and vitamin A and C , i always take zinc daily plus vitamin D i had the virus and it was minor and i am close to 60 , i feel it was thanks to the vitamins , Do note Zinc to some they may have issues with the stomach, i gave Zinc to my Friend and he had some stomach issues , but than he changed the dose from daily to every other day , so he is good now. also bit of calcium
There is a retired doctor from the UK Dr. John Campbell , he gives free advice on you tube, has over 700 k subscribers , gives good advice on Covid 19
he also has COUPLE videos about vitamin d

I agree with on everything that you said about what vitamins do. I have a very aggressive vitamin regimen, but I know others that took vitamins, worked out, were in perfect health with no-preconditions and either had a severe case of the virus or died from it. Individual experience is always valid testimony, but it is always anecdotal (including the example I just gave).
The way viruses work is explained in a this video
. I'm not endorsing the "game changer" part of the video, but the video gives a good visual of why anti-virals are so hard to develop. Likewise, normal defenses like vitamin D3 and Zinc are equally ineffective.
Unfortunately, we are all still learning about what this virus does and it's atypically broad range of pathologies. Vitamins certainly won't hurt and they help the body overall. I just have been unable to get a clear answer from infectious disease doctors, that I have access to, that vitamins actually help with the virus preventatively or during a covid-19 infection.

That's because we don't have one. The atypical pathology of this virus, and how it affects victims is still not understood entirely. Even though we know which specific proteins it targets for replication. Boosting your immune system is one of the best preventative measures we know, even if it's not a gurantee. The better your body can develop antibodies to fight the virus, the better your chances of not developing severe medical issues.
By definition, those that are asymptomatic has some level of immunity since they don’t suffer any symptoms. Meaning the virus never established itself inside their system to cause any issues. However, this is not the same as true immunity, in that asymptomatic people can still be carriers and spread the virus. But that is also possible.
there is a study where "researchers said they found a link between the way T cells reacted to novel coronavirus in those who had already been infected with other kinds of coronaviruses." on https://heavy.com/news/2020/05/people-build-immunity-coronavirus-common-cold/ u can take precautions like being healthy and taking care of your immune system by taking vitamin D and C. taking Hydroxychloroquine at the early stages of the infection seems to help mitigate the effects of the virus.
