    The human body can only absorb so much vitamin C anyway but I'm certain there's going to be a run on all vitamin related products. EmergenC and Airborne have been gone for weeks.

    The idiot claiming that (the Vitamin C thing) is also French (his name is Gendrok or sumthin' to that effect) and posts his hour-long rants on YT four the lasr couple of weeks mixing nanotechnologies, vaccines, NSA conspiracies, etc...

    Give it up before you look further down that aisle. If it was that easy, you'd think they'd have already solved the problem two months ago.

    My GF told me they've identified the patient zero for Italy (and Europe) just today or yesterday (couldn't find a klink, though, but sge saw it over a French newscast). Some chinese food importer with lots of contacts in Northern Italy.

    I wasn't too far away, when I was joking four weeks ago, saying the patient zero in Italy was Mr Pangolini.

    Been wearing the latex gloves while shopping but looks like I'll have to wear a mask at the grocery store. I'm getting the stink eye from other shoppers.

    So vitamin C possibly helps and NSAIDs possibly hurt, but also no hard evidence or word from the FDA or CDC. So why take the chance? Easier to just take a vitamin and avoid Advil for a while.

    For the past two days, New Yorkers have been dying at a rate of one every 17 minutes, according to the latest grim citywide statistics.

    Because of not wearing a mask. So just for shopping I'll wear a mask from now on.

    As of now, it would be easy for bank robbers to get away with it....everyone's wearing a mask. Another reason it's an extremely good idea banks are closed to in person customers.

    I posted Ionnidas paper earlier in the thread. I respect him, but while he is correct here, he is also not correct- the fact that we lack facts does not mean we do not have good ideas about what to do and how to treat. Reading this makes it sound as though we are ignorant when we are not.

    When we were having the super-bad air quality from the northern CA wildfires a while back, I went into the bank to use the ATM while wearing a filter mask. I noticed that the security guard was very attentive...

    Ionnidas is an unfortunate example of someone stepping out of his lane and impacting his reputation in the process.
