I've heard that about other places as well. I would guess people avoid hospitals unless they really have to go there now, so in places where corona hasn't broken out yet the patient load might be lower than normal.

Let us just hope it's not the calm before the storm.

Some of that stuff(the actual good bits here and there) would likely keep people safe from other things during all this, ease some of the stress on the medical system, etc.

(Like eating vitamins, drinking orange juice, etc can help with other things....thus possibly making people's lives easier and likely reducing the stress on the medical systems of each country by keeping some from needing medical care for other things during all this)

Also people need to use common sense regardless during such emergencies/situations....common sense and advice from those in the know(scientists, doctors, the common man sometimes) go hand in hand in such situations.

That doesn't mean I/You/anyone else is 100% wrong on such things at all times, though.

(Also this is a fallacy...i.e. Blind Loyalty[that's not a dig at anyone....that's actually the name of the fallacy being used here])
======================================

Dunno where you're at, but here they are telling people to not go to ERs unless they know they have corona or highly suspect they do, or have some other major issue....and even with corona suspicions they are advising people to call the ER/etc first and talk with someone before even coming in(unless it's serious).

unless you have a serious deficiency, the only thing you get from eating vitamin supplements is expensive wee

(unless you eat too much and get poisoning....)

Some in my country are deficient in some vitamins, though, and this is good advice for them in general, imo....especially if they have a crap diet.

Of course better quality vitamins would help even more, or maybe just better diets.

Alcohol works as an antiseptic and I plan on including tons of it in my diet to stay healthy. People who drink lots of alcohol are less prone to get infected by various diseases.

Just add some orange juice to your vodka and you're golden.

One still has to ration it carefully(especially in some states that closed their liquor stores....like PA in the US) else run out, or WORSE: Appear drunk in public(much more noticeable due to the streets being so barren).

I assume you're joking around again....

Informal logic is worth a hell of a lot more than a vaccine, m8. Ounce of prevention vs pound of cure. But don't take my word for it. lol

If you spent some time studying informal logic, you'd probably understand why appealing to authority is a logical fallacy.

So it was AtA.....I was going to say that but wasn't 100% sure.
=========================================

Also for everyone else.....some good news for some in Detroit, MI: A group is also trying to get a nationwide ban on water shutoffs, and i'm hoping other cities/towns follow Detroit's example with this during these trying times.

Speaking of doing what one is told: What do you think of the ID2020 rumors flying around?

(Some are suggesting(on the usual sites) that supposedly some companies will use this to push that through/get everyone to comply with it)

(Both links above have autoplaying videos BUT they are muted by default)

Some of the locals here are very adamant we need to close schools and close businessesgo into immediate lockdowns. Selfish.

It makes sense on some level, yeah. Though she works on a heart floor, so like... are people not having heart attacks anymore? Haha... it's just odd. They actually had her work on the Covid 19 unit today because her floor was so empty, so now I probably have it through her. Fun!
