1:48…That’s hilarious, I guess that means I must have had CoVid-19 since about the age of 3 back in the 80s seeing as I can not hold my breath at all and have never been able to.

Pretty sure she’s wrong about ibuprofen and nsaids. That reported by many countries dr’s. I’d rather be on the safe side and avoid it. No down side if tylenol works.

You need to debunk those conspiracy theorists like David Icke, Dr. Shiva, and Dr. Rashid Buttar.

I never understood why young people were presented as immune. Many young Americans have underlying health complications, live unhealthy lifestyles, and lack healthcare coverage. Worse, most are completely unaware of their current health status. Those odds are not favorable against COVID-19, regardless of age.

0-54 years old is an very large group. I would like to know what the percentage is between 0-20 years old. I am feeling like someone is not being honest with me.

as children we pick up bacteria fungus virus all kinds this is what builds our immune system other wise we would lock babies up untill they would be older my question is if we are in doors all the time washing our hands like germaphobes with no real sunlight or expose ing our selfs to bacteria and fugus germs then are we not making our immune system weaker and i tell you what is working nicotine look it up

Isn’t the reason for not taking ibuprofen is that it’s an antipyretic? During a fever, your immune system raises your temperature to make it more uncomfortable for the virus and therefore make it easier to kill. If you take something which lowers your temperature, like ibuprofen or paracetamol, then your immune system is going to have a harder time handling the infection. This makes perfect sense to me and therefore I won’t be taking these drugs if I get infected.

Zinc is antiviral over a wide range of viruses – well known over 40 years and was lab tested against SARS-1 in vitro – and certain antibiotics like HCQ are Zinc ionophores (ushers zinc into cell cytoplasm where it can stop viral RdRP), and Quinine based drugs illicit an enzyme response as well. “Proving” takes time and money, but global data indicates dramatic improvement in real mortality [death/(death+recovery)] in nations and practices that used a Zinc HCQ and Chloroquine protocol early.
In the US, the politics of the drug has become ugly and it was only given to the sickest patients with Z-paks which is a risky thing with Quinine derived drugs.

My question for you Dr. is simply this…..How do we deal with asymptomatic individuals. They are not showing signs, they are not ill in anyway, yet they walk the streets undetected and will spread the virus…..How does the medical community control this or at least contain this…..

You getting pay under the table …garlic ginger water salt .. eucalip vapor ..bicarbonate de sodium .. neutralize the virus …. and ever the mms or dióxido de sodio destroy the the virus….. bruta estúpida you are in the side of those drugs fármacos …. inbuprofen help because contain anti inflammatory … covi 19 inflamed the bronchioles and lungs .. what you say it’s not clear yet … estúpida…. misinforming people

Two statements stand out in this.
1. This is a new virus and we don’t know much about it.
2. All these are myths and absolutely false.
Yes, most of these myths are silly but those two statements are actually contradictory. She actually states ‘there is no proof’ several times which is far different that ‘proven false’.

Garlic has antibactetial and antiviral properties. One has to take it regularly for it to combat disease like virus because it helps boost the immune system.
