You need to delay the infection beyond the peak.

Even if it's true that infection is inevitable (it's not true), delaying infection is a good idea, to reduce the immediate strain on the hospital system.

Yes but ideally this will catch it before the infection advances to that level.

That's why if you've got significant spread you have to do a long hard lockdown first, instead of jumping straight to test and trace. Get the effective R0 below 1 and you can reduce your current infection count.

This only works if they can't be instantly reinfected.

You're not even guaranteed to get infected (I still haven't been.) So you need to apply that prior as well.

I already baked that in by starting with a low infection rate (2x per week instead of 2x every 3 days).

Don’t forget the infection risk.

Back-ups are also not going to save you if the infection is time-delayed.

Where the bleep did I say that?

It might be BAD if they are on a vent to increase NO. I am talking about before or at the beginning of infection so they never have to get on a vent.

It kills too quickly. You would have to hole up for 10-20 days and the infection will wipe itself out.

You can control whether or not you get infected by limiting interaction.

Stop spreading misinformation, there were studies in South Korea that say you won't reinfect after you get it. That's why the strong and healthy can help by self-infecting.

The effective use is applying it 3 weeks before the infection. Not two days after. That's not enough time to fill up the cells with zinc.

rscho | karma 3166 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2020-03-06 15:50:21

That's a f###ing bad idea given the current state of knowledge about this infection. Your chance for doing more harm than good is huge.

hycaria | karma 812 | avg karma 1.32 · | 2018-11-09 15:54:08+00:00

Infection is possible before being symptomatic.

He's talking about preventing infection.

Hikikomori | karma 1327 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2024-06-01 14:31:57

Then it will get infected again pretty much right away no?

Heisenbergg | karma 22 | avg karma 3.14 · | 2011-01-10 20:07:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice. You're right, I'm infected. heh.

Nursie | karma 17810 | avg karma 2.14 · | 2019-02-01 15:02:25

You know I'd rather not wait to find out if that infection is going to turn nasty and longer-term.

Did once - burst an eardrum and had to take a while off work.
