protects against the worst symptoms of covid-19.

The UNC-Chapel Hill data showed that the amount of time people spend passively browsing social media—scrolling through feeds and looking for updates—was unrelated to positive states, and strongly linked to anxiety and other negative feelings.

"If your feeds are like ours, they're mostly composed of distressing news and politicking. Keeping up with these endless streams is far from uplifting," says Frederickson.

Duke U says they are speeding up testing of their one dose vaccine for covid-19

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-results-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-august.html

Sample quote

The Duke team emphasized that any expectation for a vaccine by the end of this year is overly optimistic.

"I think it's entirely possible that a vaccine will be approved this year, but not at scale," Ridley explained. "We might have some people vaccinated this year, but the average person won't be vaccinated."

Denny added, "We may have some good science by the end of the year and think we have some leading candidates. But manufacturing them to have it all administered, that's a tall order to be ready by the beginning of 2021."

There are currently no RNA vaccines on the market for any disease, the researchers said, but many are being tested in clinical trials, both for coronavirus and other diseases.

Most coronavirus vaccines being studied require two doses—including Moderna's RNA vaccine—but Ooi said the vaccine being developed by Duke-NUS and the pharmaceutical company Arcturus Therapeutics is different. So far, it appears this vaccine requires only one dose because it has a replicating effect that makes the vaccine "expand in the body," Ooi explained.

The vaccine will likely be the first of its kind to get this far in clinical trials if the trials proceed as expected.

With that, I believe I will go golfing.

I thought the object was to RELIEVE stress?

Seriously, haven't been out since February with back surgery, COVID, and then a broken toe, my son is still playing regularly, he says the game is a lot quicker with everyone in their own cart, I hope that solution. becomes the new normal.

How could things get worse.

Add West Nile virus and Dengue Fever virus, to COVID-19 virus, like in Miami FL presently.....

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article243828417.html

Sample quote

While Miami-Dade County scrambles to try and slow a surge in coronavirus cases, county mosquito-control chief William Petrie has his own outbreak to contend with.

On Friday, state health officials reported 10 more cases of West Nile virus in the county, suggesting an aggressive spread of the mosquito-borne illness.

Petrie said this summer’s resurgence of West Nile probably just reflects the heavy rains that cause mosquito populations to explode. More mosquitoes mean more mosquito bites, increasing the odds of human infection.

Or people are spending more time with fewer people around, which increases(?) their odds of being bit, like in their own backyard vs then say an indoor bar, bowling alley, movie theater, etc?

The thinking being, there are limited number of mosquitoes normally around, mosquito are thought to favor certain physical human characteristics of some over others, and those people are the first to get bit. And Mosquitoes will do second bites. However if you are the only one around, I would suspect, you are the one getting bit, no matter how undesirable you are.

Wall Street Journal has an article on Sunday front page “New Surge Shifts to Younger Victims” that states that 49 year olds and below are approaching 70% of new covid-19 Infections.

While above 98% of these newly infected will recover, they are still getting hospitalized and filling up ICU beds.

If you are above 60 and have pre-existing conditions this means you should re-double your efforts to shelter in place and stay uninfected, because if you do get sick there is an increasing chance your ICU will be at capacity.

Seems like it might be a good idea to have at home 14 days supply of Famotidine tablets at 240 mg per day dose
(168 tablets of 20 mg per tablet)

Packages of fifty 20 mg tablets costs under $5 at either Walmart or Kroger.

the bad thing about people taking "referenced" drugs to help stave off covid, is the interaction between them and drugs taken for [my] pre-existing condition[s].
done so without a doctor's consultation can, and often is, fatal. even common, over the counter cold medications can cause this, taken with certain doctor prescribed medications.

Ohhhh God don’t tell the Coronavirus experts that they may be telling people the wrong way to treat this. They know it all. Lol.

Summary of how vaccine trials are progressing

Thank God Doctor 360view. I thought something happened to you. You haven’t cut, copied, and pasted for well over an hour. Did you take a 😴

As the caregiver to a 90 year old stroke victim naps are a blessing when they are possible. Some nights are no sleep. When that happens three nights in a row you no longer feel human.

There but for grace of God go I.

Polish researcher: vast computer compound search indicates
Dexamethasone
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
may help calm or prevent Cytokine Storm in worst covid-19

Sample quote

Co-author Artur Wnorowski, Ph.D., Department of Biopharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University in Lublin, Poland, undertook an intriguing challenge that yielded surprising results.
"I analyzed major databases to identify chemicals that downregulate both AhR and IDO1, or AhR gene expression. I selected 596 molecules and an in-depth analysis of 23,526 experiments involving these molecules identified either a single molecule that repeatedly reduced AhR and IDO1 or AhR gene expression in human cells."

The molecules were dexamethasone for AhR and IDO1,
and calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, which is also known to inhibit the spread of other viral infections,
for the AhR gene.
Likewise, tocopherol, a form of Vitamin E, might downregulate IDO1 and is known to play a positive role in response to viral infections and inflammation in aging.

The authors call for epidemiological studies and prospective trials to determine if calcitriol and tocopherol supplementation should be recommended for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infections.

"Our concept is based on 40 years of research experience with the metabolism of tryptophan. Activation of IDO1 in immune cells leads to release of kynurenine, a tryptophan metabolite, activates AhR. IDO1 was the clue that brought us to the AhR-IDO1 axis concept and exposed the role that AhR may play in the pathogenesis of COVID-19," says Dr. Waldemar Turski.
