Another thing that seems to work is using nose spray daily or twice daily (am/pm). Colloidal silver or Xlear saline as examples. My husband and I have done this for years, we’ve never had Covid and the last colds we had were in 2021. Helps eliminate virus exposures.
There is a famous but little know about peer reviewed controlled study in Spain of nursing home patients managed with saline nasal lavage plus AZT with a highly significant reduction in Covid infection in the lavage cohort. In early Covid during the Delta days. about the same time as the Barrington declaration. Unfortunately, this did not fit the consensus of medical experts.
I relied heavily on this protocol for self treatment as well as that of family and friends who would listen to my advice. Only one got ill with hypoxia, but did not have to go to hospital and he started IVM after the fourth day. My case of Covid with temp 104.5 was gone in two days with 1st day IVM.
I'm with the hand washing thing. Not sure about "stay home if sick thing." Before 2020, we went to family gatherings sick. And that's a good thing. Sometimes the only time you see family is at these functions. I know for certain I attended Thanksgiving feasts sick...I took treatments to mitigate symptoms. And it was a standard thing in large gatherings to expect one or two people who were sick at the events.
Now all bets are off?
If we want to change the social contract then discuss it with all interested parties. I remember right before Covid my Uncle David showed up and we had dinner together and he warned me multiple times he was sick. But I don't see my Uncle David that often. I thought the rule was stupid and I'd be willing to get sick to see him. I know some of my relatives would have felt the same way, my dad chief among them.
My had at 20 was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a disfiguring disease where your joints and your immune system betrays you. He was up for fun and gatherings. One of his biggest joys was seeing friends and family. Now they would call his behavior unsafe, dangerous and risky. Maybe his inability to accept the limitations of his disease foolish, but how much longer would he have lived in blissful isolation?
At the same time I'm not arrogant enough to think that I should be entitled to see everyone when I am sick. Before 2020, it was a foregone conclusion that if you went out into public or attended a large gathering (evenb family) there was a chance you could get sick. Heck, merely traveling to another country meant you were introduced to new flora and fauna and this could result in your body getting sick. I'd be willing to float out hypotheticals and develop rules. And maybe the indoctrination has gotten to the point where many are afraid to gather. Who wouldn't be after all the propaganda?
And never forget DO NOT COMPLY if they ever start the shutdown crap again. NEVER.
