Your right breathing Ozone is not a good idea but that's not how it is recommended to get into your blood stream.

Ozone Protocols: A Review of Ozone Therapy Applications explains it all
but a short list of the methods explained is

Rectal Insufflation: Two Methods
Ozone Sauna
Auricular Insufflations:
Vaginal Insufflation:
Body Suit
or even Ozonated Olive Oil

Im wiping down some things but if i get a big ish shop in then i take it all out on the kitchen floor, spray dettol on it all, leave to sit and then wipe down where possible. But it is time consuming...

I wouldn't trust anything on that website. I would want to see some controlled studies.

Yeah i'm thinking along these lines too, the whole thing is so confusing.
Was just reading this thread - many NHS staff on here say their hospitals are so quiet. Eerily quiet.
Every single thing - cancer, blood test, scans, x rays, physio was cancelled to make way for Covid everywhere.
But this is the thing, there are hardly any Covid patients coming in. Our service 111 makes it hard to get an ambulance out to a suspected case unless they are practically dying, so there are very few people in hospital.
More people I think will die of other things - not getting a scan and dying of cancer or whatever, rather than this.
It's making me think why is the entire economy shut down if the hospitals are so empty and quiet.
The ICU wards in some places are busy, but they are always busy - and now we have the field hospitals to take the pressure off...but there is no pressure apparently...
Very odd

My husband read something that reported people dying of cardiac events at home because they didn't want to go to the ER, FWIW. I don't have the link.

Be cautious in applying local data to a larger problem.

We haven't had any deaths from car crashes in my neighborhood in over 50 years. In fact, the number of people dying in suburban car crashes in all of the Dallas area is pretty small.

This should not be taken to mean that car crash deaths in Texas are practically nonexistant.

So the same thing... yes, there's hospitals with few or no patients. This does not mean there's not a critical national situation. New York City's hospitals are stressed to the max... but this doesn't mean that every single hospital is.

Look at the big picture. Areas with few cases can help support areas that are suffering (taking patients, sending supplies, sending help, etc.)

so a method to monitor if travellers - infected people stay in quarantine

Disposable wrist bracelets but how long are they going to be disposable?

Wasn't there a thread on a GPS record of all front doors in the usa being done awhile ago?

Look up address - ping - house , flat apartment you're dropped directly there and home imprisoned for 14 days.

Hey, should help with overcrowding in jails.

Guardian Article : " WHO warns that few have developed antibodies to Covid-19 " dated Mon 20 Apr 2020 22.28 BST

Only a tiny proportion of the global population – maybe as few as 2% or 3% – appear to have antibodies in the blood showing they have been infected with Covid-19, according to the World Health Organization, a finding that bodes ill for hopes that herd immunity will ease the exit from lockdown.

“Easing restrictions is not the end of the epidemic in any country,” said WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a media briefing in Geneva on Monday. “So-called lockdowns can help to take the heat out of a country’s epidemic.”

But serological testing to find out how large a proportion of the population have had the infection and developed antibodies to it – which it is hoped will mean they have some level of immunity – suggests that the numbers are low.

Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, an American infectious diseases expert who is the WHO’s technical lead on Covid-19, said they had thought the number of asymptomatic people would be higher, but she stressed it was still too early to be sure. “Initially, we see a lower proportion of people with antibodies than we were expecting,” she said. “A lower number of people are infected.”

The hope will be that people who have had Covid-19 will be able to resume their lives. But Van Kerkhove last week said that even if tests showed a person had antibodies, it did not prove that they were immune.

“There are a lot of countries that are suggesting using rapid diagnostic serological tests to be able to capture what they think will be a measure of immunity,” she said. “Right now, we have no evidence that the use of a serological test can show that an individual has immunity or is protected from reinfection.”

edit : Looks a lot like something I posted a day or so ago, but the date states today...so here it is (again?)

Novartis to open hydroxychlor oquine trials in the US

FULL TITLE:
Novartis to sponsor large clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Novartis has reached an agreement with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed with a Phase III clinical trial with approximately 440 patients to evaluate the use of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 disease. The clinical trial drug supply will be provided by Sandoz, the generics and biosimilars division of Novartis.

The large trial sponsored by Novartis will be conducted at more than a dozen sites in the United States. Novartis plans to begin enrollment for this study within the next few weeks and is committed to reporting results as soon as possible.

discussion: A Phase III clinical trial is where they've checked the drug in labs and in live animal models and now they want humans for a formal study.

Novartis is not the only one doing a Phase III clinical trial in May.. Ultomiris is also moving to clinical trials in May Alixion is doing a clinical trial of Ultomiris ...and others are doing the same.

2 confirmed and 3 probable cases in Aotearoa/New Zealand today, plus one new death, again an over 70yr old in a rest home, bring total to 13 dead.

Not sure if these have been posted yet -- but quite a lot of evidence indicating that the Stanford study which concluded as much as 50-85 times as many infections as known cases -- is completely flawed.

Chris Martenson did a pretty good breakdown of it as well:

Its Practical Darwinism at work with a bit of "Are you feeling lucky today" A mate just went into hospital for an unrelated condition caught the virus and died. So its real enough leaving everyone devastated for his loss. So its hitting home. Its real enough.

TN is the same way. Opening the first.

I'm confused. I'm in Ohio, and supposedly we're reopening May 1.

Does anyone know why the US just seems to not be able to get enough tests?


I know about the early blunders, the US not taking the WHO test, that the CDC's first test didn't work.

I can't get anything not even from googling it since it shows you only early March info.

Are they too expensive, hard to make, hard to produce, what?

Kim Jong Un might be out the game with Covid 19, or caught the virus whilst in the hospital with heart problems.

Scuttlebutt on Twitter has him pegged as braindead.
