China Corona Virus Outbreak

[uls]

gut feel ko lang shadow kaya ko binili

then yesterday nakita ko post ni Mons

[dr. d]

Monserrato posted an article that says salt water could be effective against the virus

diba there's an old remedy where you gargle water with salt?

when i saw that at the grocery weeks ago, i thought it "hey this makes sense and it's more convenient than sarili timpla water + salt"

hypertonic solutions have been used for centuries, to kill bacteria.
it is the basis of the cured meat industry.

yes, them commercial preparations are convenient.
but if you balk at cost, there's the ... "i-halo ang isang kutsaritang asin sa isang basong maligamgam na tubig, at i-mumog".

bottomline,
"whatever works for you."

anyway, kahit di umaalis sa lugar nila mga tao

nakatira naman sa napaka crowded na bahay / community

paano hindi magkahawaan?

#1 place where virus spreads is within household

so even if people stay home all day, when one of them goes to market to buy food and brings home the virus, the whole family gets infected

nagka COVID 19 si Duran

Panamanian boxing legend Roberto Duran hospitalized with COVID-19 | Philstar.com

Panamanian Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran, six-time boxing world champion, was hospitalized in non-life-threatening condition Thursday (Friday, Manila time) with the novel coronavirus, his children said on the same day that Panama hit a new record of daily cases.

"Test results have just arrived for my dad, and they confirm he is positive for COVID-19," the legendary fighter's son Robin Duran said on Instagram.

If salt kills viruses, then dapat open na mga beach resorts!

If salt kills viruses, then dapat open na mga beach resorts!

...we'd have to take in the seawater... swirl it around... then spit it out!

then, after communing with the seawater,
we get out, and we do not wipe ourselves dry, to bring along the protective salt on our skin, for the rest of the day..
para tayong naglalakad na salted pork... or beef...

heh heh.

actually

i don't believe gargling salt water can kill the virus

when the virus binds to ACE2 receptors on our cells it enters the cells

so how can salt water reach the virus when it's inside our cells?

maybe when the virus is still outside... maybe

-

OR, salt water can prevent secondary infections

when the body is busy fighting the virus, may chance na bacteria can grow in the respiratory tract and lead to pneumonia

-

ang sakin lang there's no harm in gargling water + salt

wala naman mawawala if you do it every morning pagkagising

[Monseratto]

Nahiyain umamin na may sakit..So while nasa bahay sige ang kalat ng sakit. Pupunta na lang kung grabe na yung sakit.

If that’s the case... if you are infected most probably magiging asymthomatic ka if you salt+water gargle...kasi it stop infections/symptons...

Salt flushing up your nose and gargling can shorten the duration of covid cases...


Hypertonic saline nasal irrigation and gargling should be considered as a treatment option for COVID-19

Post-hoc secondary analysis of data from our recent Edinburgh and Lothians Viral Intervention Study (ELVIS) pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) indicates that hypertonic saline nasal irrigation and gargling (HSNIG) reduced the duration of coronavirus upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) by an average of two-and-a-half days. As such, it may offer a potentially safe, effective and scalable intervention in those with Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) following infection with the betacoronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [1].

We also recently reported that epithelial cells mount an antiviral effect by producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) from chloride ions [3]. HOCl is the active ingredient in bleach. Epithelial cells have this innate antiviral immune mechanism to clear viral infections. Since bleach is effective against all virus types [4], we tested to see if a range of DNA, RNA, enveloped and non-enveloped viruses were inhibited in the presence of chloride ions supplied via salt (NaCl). All the viruses we tested were inhibited in the presence of NaCl. The human viruses we tested were: DNA/enveloped: herpes simplex virus; RNA/enveloped: human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A virus; and RNA/non-enveloped: coxsackievirus B3 [3].

Naghanda rin ako ng pang throat, spray nga lang. Its not so much about killing the virus but helping fight the infection or provide relief.

thing is, in overcrowded PH metropolitan areas (metro manila, metro cebu etc), mahirap i-isolate mga infected

una, those who could be carrying the virus (while waiting for PCR test result) they're not isolated

nandun lang sila sa bahay nila, sa community, nakakalabas pa...

pag lumabas ang result at positive pala... ilan araw na nakalipas ilan tao nakasalamuha nun

sigurado nahawa na ang mga kasama sa bahay

nahawa din mga nakasalamuha ng mga kasama sa bahay

--

while waiting for for PCR result madami lugar pwede puntahan nung tao

how are you gonna trace all that?

di naman tayo South Korea na hitech ang tracing
