CALIFORNIANS MAY HAVE DEVELOPED SOME HERD IMMUNITY TO CORONAVIRUS LAST YEAR, STANFORD TEAM THEORIZES

[Backseat Driver]

65. No "herd immunity" in CA

NYC got the European strain that has decimated Italy and Spain. In addition, I believe that more NYC dwellers have vitamin deficiencies, especially Vit. C and D from natural sunshine in an especially immune-compromising environment. The dense population lives and works under artificial lighting and in gerry-rigged yet engineered HVAC systems in older existing buildings where maintenance might be lacking. In addition, they travel throughout the city by public transit, subway systems, and hired cabs.

NY was quick, and IMHO, too quick, to embrace using ventilators, but I've read that this bug actually gets into the blood where it attacks red blood cells and disables hemoglobin-rich iron stores required for functional air exchange, hence the fatique of anemia, shortness of breath, and the hypoxic symptomotology not to mention dehydration and the very high fevers that tax persons with cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and kidney problems, as well as those already prone to hypertension in which the virus actually is bringing dysfunction inside the cells responsible for oxygen exchange so forcing ventilation really doesn't help in healing but itself causes more damage to delicate exchange cells/tissues. This is therefore, not so related to the cell receptors, but what comes next when inflammation and edema set in to the breathing apparatus. I know I'll hear about this from traditionally trained doctors touting the hypochoroquine (the malaria-parasite/lupus/autoimmune Placquenil drug in which Trump family is invested), while those in the orthomolecular and naturopathically trained have succeeded in faster recoveries from off-beat therapies including IVC (Andrew Saul, PhD) and ozone (R. Rowen, MD) if treated early in catching before viral load increases to kill the host by dismantling oxygen exchange. Their recommendations, BTW, have been widely censored by their platform overseers. I was especially disappointed to see some of the dietary/nutritional healers jump off the deep end politically. Could never understand the rantings of Mike Adams, and now Sayr Ji of GreenMedInfo seems to have joined those fearing political retribution for not going along with mainstream messaging.

What a mess of unfortunate suffering and deaths! What an economic catastrophe for so many that didn't have to be when government was really invested in advancing our citizens welfare on all fronts. I'm sure hoping that once we've all stayed-home and/or use our own PPEs when we do need to shop to lower the curve on hospital caregivers, they will have the breathing room (no pun intended) and lower "curve" to really practice the ART and SCIENCE of what medicine at the front lines used to be in which bigPharma can no longer put profits before patients! Good things may come from this pandemic yet--a BLUE POTUS, for one! What a heavy burden to repair and steer into healing, Joe.
