I just wonder if Tonic (quinine) water and a zinc lozenge would work as well since I never see doctors. lol

Still, this looks promising and even better yet, it may even cure cancer (stuff big Pharma never wants to get out).

Thanks Lyle. This is credible. Its possible zinc could slow down viral replication of covid19.

Viruses fall into 2 broad categories - the 'hit and run' viruses like flu, and the 'hit and stay' viruses like herpes.

Viruses evolved in parallel to humans which is why viral survival strategies are extremely advanced. Viruses even mimic elements of the human immune system. Random selection of viruses over eons is how they achieved this.


Coincidentally I picked-up some 'Indian Tonic Water' from the supermarket this morning. I like the taste of it.

When I was in my 20s, I use to dring a 16oz bottle of the stuff once a week thinking it was healthy to do so. Never could handle the bitter taste of it. I've not done this in over 20 years; might actually start drinking a bottle of the stuff again since I read this story. Just hope quinine is quinine. lol

This natural combo, called the golden triangle, is the only solution I have found out to work:
1. Eat healthy 2. Exercise 3. Rest well.
Not that I would mind a sick day once in a decade, we get full paycheck for the sick days.

I watced a document of Marburg, the symptoms are pure zombie movie material.
It's still hiding somewhere in the caves waiting for the next perfect moment of doing a fly-by hit-and-run.
One thing that's frightening with climate change are the gradually exposing older layers of permafrost,
because viruses and bacteria can survive million years contained in ice.
Can only imagine the scenario when we face something we don't have any prior experience of and zero resistance.

Looked at the title and thought you must have added a new filter - disappointed!

How much gin do you need to add to that tonic?

Half-and-half, repeat until both bottles are empty and the virus is gone.

Maybe we should leave medecine to the real doctors. There are plenty of pseudo-treatments that could seem to work well, just because COVID-19 is rather benign for 80% of the people. But if you are in the remaining 20%, you'll require a real treatment and professional care.

I agree with that. I rarely ever get sick, but you just never know for sure. I do get the flu shot every year since 1997 when I came down with the flu. It killed my Uncle and almost got me too. I've never been that sick in my life and hope that never happens again.
