COVID-19 Science Thread

If you ask me, just eat a banana every day - maybe up it to banana and a half if you have symptoms like "chills" or the "shakes".

You are going to need the potassium to overcome the muscle fatigue, and fatigue seems to be a big factor for some. And yeah, no bacon, repeat no bacon.

Looks like Oxford is pushing for human challenge trials. I've been calling for this for months, but it looks like it might finally happen.

Very cool. That should knock it out of the park on validation.

How did you arrive at 5000? I know that you can take too much VitD, I just haven't done enough research to see what is considered the safe upper bound.

It seems almost all of the paths to increased mortality lead back to oxidative stress and risk of clotting. Diabetes, obesity, blood type, and any number of internal components that form critical parts of the chain (ie NAC, VitD, etc).

haha, ya, it's not designed to grab you. But I'm nerdtastic, so I find almost all of them interesting.

I can't answer "max" per day but a friend who finished medical school told me a few months ago that since we live so far north even if you are working in the sun for 10 hours a day we won't ever get enough Vitamin D from the sun... ever so even then you can take 2000 - 3000UI a day.

Here is a screenshot of when i was sick and told him what supplements I was taking to ask if I should cut one of them out or something.

To add I also take ZMA at night time (Zinc magnesium aspartate) https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/zma#benefits

Who knows if all this really works or not but it seems like it does so until the Doctor tells me differently, I don't plan to change anything. It has kept me in pretty good shape and I need to be cuz #nodaysoff life

Yah I take Magnesium Glycinate about an hour before bed, it really helps me have a good nights sleep (and helps me fall asleep)

Purchased this, maybe a placebo but it seems to help: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Vitamin D isn't water soluble, so it isn't just pissed out.

I should stay out of these science threads. I know nothing.

If I had to keep out of threads because I didn't know anything I wouldn't be allowed to participate here at all.

Thanks for Med-Cram. I didn't focus at all in biology in school and I found most of it easy to follow and the rest I could look up or wasn't material for my understanding of the details.

I've sat here for the last hour and a half watching them.

Not entirely accurate. In the winter this is true, but we're fine in the summer with 20min on a sunny day.

Perfect. My body is optimized for Vitamin D absorption.

Surface area counts. You’d better be shirtless with Speedos.

Summer months hardly contribute to D production, even with board shorts and a T shirt.

Need the torso exposed.

Why Face Masks Don't Work, According to Science

Well, no studies has proven mask to "work". I have read many published studies as well and this is why original WHO guidance didn't include masks. And I hate youtube vid since these guys are just trying to gain views on controversial subject. You don't have to post them. Google and read for yourself.

But if you believe in data, masked countries are having less community spread and there economies are recovering. Ours are not and getting worse by the day.

Asian wore mask for the wrong reason (self preservation) but it got lucky that when enough people wear them, it becomes a community defense. It's not 0, it's less. Richmond BC has 1/3 average community spread cases compared to Canadian average and 1/2 of neighboring Vancouver.

The proof is in the pudding as they say, look at the Asian counties compared to Western countries and it's easy to see that Masks are helping

Asian countries are typically humid areas.
