Covid cases are rising rapidly over here. However, I've not met anyone who seems worried about the fact. My GP is about the only person who warned me about going to crowded places including hospitals.

Here is the latest TV ad shown in the UK. It's quite controversial but most probably could be effective for many :

Apparently restaurants and bars will be closed as from this Saturday in the two largest towns in the county/department. My neighbour says it's for at least two weeks. However, theatres and cinemas will still be open which isn't really logical.

My step granddaughter tested positive a second time so she still cannot go back to work. She has to have two negative results before she can go back.
And she is no longer feeling sick. She has no symptoms.
And she is no longer feeling sick. She has no symptoms.
My poor stepdaughter just got a call from the lab saying they lost her test so she has to go back and have it done again. This means she still have to quarantine until she gets her results back and if she’s positive knows what they were made to do after that. She has not been feeling well for about two weeks now but she’s not sure if it’s because of the smoke from the fires.

I'm always skeptical about claims like this so I did some research and came across a scientific paper.Coronavirus: Vitamin D reduces infection and impact of COVID-19, studies find

Thanks. She was supposed to start work back in the office in October and now she can’t go. Her manager was giving her a bit of a hard time about it as if she made it up. She had to show them the documentation from the lab saying she needed to be retested.

The stupid governor of Florida has decided to let restaurants and bars be at full capacity and no one can be fined for not wearing masks. It is a confusing executive order that takes us immediately into Phase 3. He is such an idiot!

you would think the office would be more understandind given all this... it isnt her fault this is happening...
I read that months ago about Vitamin D. I take it all year round anyway.
I think I read Vitamin C is meant to help too, I forgot to buy that. I do take a multivitamin but I might get a higher dose of Vitamin C too. I wish you could get a vegan version of the soluble Vitamin C. I've never seen one... I'm off to look.
“In the beginning” of the pandemic I saw all kinds of information on what we could do to enhance our chances of not getting the virus. Vitamin C and zinc were mentioned. I was taking Vit C every day. And I bought zinc lozenges. I also bought melatonin because I saw something about that too, helping if you caught the virus.
I think I just wanted to have an arsenal ready lol. I purchased a new thermometer and, don’t laugh, a pulse oximeter.
I was pretty crazy when this started. I’m a little better now that we’ve made it this far lol.I take 2000 mg of Vit D daily also because my levels always test on the low end. I’m wondering if they will be better since I’m getting outside everyday for at least an hour.
