    I knew the whole story but, it was not my story to tell.

    "How to draw the line where rapture borders on the fear of death? Or are they two phases of the same? Perhaps synonymous? To write poetry is to move in danger zones, always in a forward direction, with knowledge, experience and love, always as uncertain and assured as ever, burning and cool." ------------ Agneta Ara

    The coronavirus has been circulating undetected and has possibly infected scores of people over the past six weeks in Washington state, according to a genetic analysis of virus samples that has sobering implications for the entire country amid heightening anxiety about the likely spread of the disease. The researchers conducted genetic sequencing of two virus samples. One is from a patient who traveled from China to Snohomish County in mid-January and was the first person diagnosed with the disease in the United States. The other came from a recently diagnosed patient in the same county, a high school student with no travel-related or other known exposure to the coronavirus. The two samples look almost identical genetically, said Trevor Bedford, a computational biologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who announced the results of the research on Twitter late Saturday night. “This strongly suggests that there has been cryptic transmission in Washington State for the past 6 weeks,” Bedford wrote. “I believe we’re facing an already substantial outbreak in Washington State that was not detected until now due to narrow case definition requiring direct travel to China.”

    People's hearts will be exposed on threads like this and TDB has a long memory.

    Yeah, blood tests 2-4X a year and an established baseline is important.

    I love those old Greek stoics.

    That sounds right.

    Yeah, she looks about ten years younger than she is. I believe she started getting paid when she was 19. I think she was 26 here. Jeff Beck called her a genius.

    I agree! There are four masters on that stage!

    I don’t know how long I have slept in the dark, I do know how difficult it was to open my eyes. I come from afar. I am this dazzling moment. A flash of fire across the sky. The world I hold still flows with tears, I came from the distance, I am this dazzling moment, the flash of fire across the sky, I see you, ah! fleeting, gorgeous, moment of light across the horizon. A worthwhile trip is not an imaginary line. A fleeting moment, open in front of me, the dazzling moment of light across my sky. me

    But while the process is moving with remarkable speed, experts say patience is still required. "Even though we are seeing rapid vaccine development with this virus, vaccine development is usually seen on the scale of years, not months," Dr. Adalja said. "We will likely see rapid initiation of clinical trials that will establish the safety and then establish that [the vaccine] is actually creating immunity, and then figure out the dose of the vaccine... You need all of that to be figured out." If the Inovio vaccine or another lab's version is successful, Adalja thinks it would still take "about a year" for it to become available to the public. "It's one thing to make a vaccine that actually works, but you also have to manufacture it in sufficient quantities for it immunize the population that it's indicated for, and you have to be able to have that whole manufacturing process done in an appropriate manner so you can make these [vaccines] safely and quickly and according to good manufacturing practices. All of that takes time," he explained. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-vaccine-san-diego-lab-inovio-pharmaceuticals-discovered-drug-testing/

    Again, a vaccine available for the general public, has to be at least 8-12 months away.

    I have to wait and see on that vaccine! A corona vaccinne has to be at least 8-12 months off!

    Chloroquine is still fairly abundant now. I would suggest getting some if possible. If someone at TDB has a source that can be shared, that may prove helpful. Every little bit helps! * Chloroquine, a widely-used anti-malarial and autoimmune disease drug, has recently been reported as a potential broad-spectrum antiviral drug.8,9 Chloroquine is known to block virus infection by increasing endosomal pH required for virus/cell fusion, as well as interfering with the glycosylation of cellular receptors of SARS-CoV.10 Our time-of-addition assay demonstrated that chloroquine functioned at both entry, and at post-entry stages of the 2019-nCoV infection in Vero E6 cells (Fig. 1c, d). Besides its antiviral activity, chloroquine has an immune-modulating activity, which may synergistically enhance its antiviral effect in vivo. Chloroquine is widely distributed in the whole body, including lung, after oral administration. The EC90 value of chloroquine against the 2019-nCoV in Vero E6 cells was 6.90 μM, which can be clinically achievable as demonstrated in the plasma of rheumatoid arthritis patients who received 500 mg administration.11 Chloroquine is a cheap and a safe drug that has been used for more than 70 years and, therefore, it is potentially clinically applicable against the 2019-nCoV. *I will add here that this drug is only to be used when, you have studied it well, are in serious danger of being infected by the corona virus and have consulted with a doctor.

    Supplements that help against corona virus. Every little bit helps! Treatments under study include nutriceuticals and supplements; Supplements that might have a positive effect, noted by colleague Dr. Theron Hutton, MD, include N- acetyl cystein, selenium, spirulina and high dose glucosamine (See “Nutraceuticals have potential for boosting the type 1 interferon response to RNA viruses including influenza and coronavirus” and antiviral drugs such as Disulfiram and Chloroquine Phosphate (See: “Disulfiram can inhibit MERS and SARS coronavirus papain-like proteases via different modes“. See “Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro“. See “Expert consensus on chloroquine phosphate for the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia“. Selenium and other micronutrient deficiency is considered to play a role in severity of a coronavirus infection.

    In the past, people practiced the Tao, the Way of Life. They understood the principle of balance as represented by the transformations of the energies of the universe. They formulated exercises to promote energy flow to harmonize themselves within the universe. “Their first discussion began with Huang Di inquiring, “I’ve heard that in the days of old everyone lived one hundred years without showing the usual signs of aging. In our time, however, people age prematurely, living only fifty years. Is this due to a change in the environment, or is it because people have lost the correct way of life?”------the Huangdi Neijing (the bibliographical chapter of the Hanshu 漢書) (or Book of Han, completed in 111 CE)
  21. OK, reel it back! You are in desperate need of grounding! When you start feeling anxiety, you are getting too far ahead of yourself. Seeing far ahead is not the problem. Doing it without an anchor is.

    Still too many coveting the shiny things!

    Lima, Do you see Maslow's hierarchy encompassing all seven chakral levels or is there some point where too much nuance is lost between the two comparisons?
