Hi David and ALL, The only problem with your way is it overwhelms the health system fast which it can't handle causing many more to die. Since you'd do the hot sleeping at first symptom, I do it to stop my suffering anyway as any flu, cold, virus is no fun and well before one should be calling doctors and hospitals, it's hard for it to do harm if you stay hydrated and temp doesn't get too high.. And works for me with whatever virus, other infections so if works, solves the problem. You'll know in the morning or after 8hrs of hot sleep.Though if testing is widely available without hurting doctors, nurses, patients that truly need it now and being done for surveillance anyway, yes get tested will likely be 6 weeks away or longer.. Personally I'd rather get rid of whatever it is tonight than getting tested and suffer days which won't be widely available in the way I said for 1.5 months at least.So unless you need a hospital to breathe, we for the next 6-8 weeks at least, are on our own to keep from overwhelming the system for those that could die and healthcare workers that are going to get sick should have first priority. Plus tell which health workers are sick before they infect others like at the bad nursing home where so many died.Too bad Trump didn't buy the WHO tests and still hasn't or let since Jan1 uni, hospitals and the private sector make tests were begging to do, until last week.We'd have had all the tests we needed and 10% of the problem if Trump hadn't stopped them.. Luckily most ignored him and did the work anyway which is where the big jump in testing is coming from finally.Jerry Dycus On Thursday, March 19, 2020, 10:10:43 AM EDT, EVDL Administrator via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: I'm not saying this advice is right or wrong, but as with any similar situation, a lot of misinformation and speculation is going round. Be careful.
If you get sick, please don't assume (1) that it's C-19; and (2) that if it is, you can treat it yourself. Call the doctor's office or hospital and get going, get tested, get treated. This virus can give you pneumonia, which a friend of mine who had it (pneumonia) said is unsettlingly similar to drowning. As for the idea of converting Tesla to make ventilators, it's an interesting idea, and we need ventilators pretty badly. I have some doubts that many people will be buying Evs or any vehicles for a while. I guess the precedent would be all the factories converted to airplane production during the second world war. I have no idea whether it would really help this time. Elon Musk often tackles such challenges with intensity and enthusiasm, so he just might be able to make it go. His drive is one thing I admire about him. But things didn't work out so well with his submarine idea for the flooded cave rescue in Thailand, so maybe some caution is called for.
