I got a viral text from a friend telling me that hot water and lemon juice will protect me

no easy fix tip apart from: stop breathing!

My MIL has posted that drinking hot drinks like tea /avoiding ice in your drinks will stop you becoming infected. Also making sure your mouth doesn’t dry out. So there you go

Quite a bit of dubious advice about eating raw garlic.

Coronavirus: The fake health advice you should ignore

Garlic and taking hot baths are among the dodgy health advice for treating coronavirus being shared online.

www.bbc.co.uk

IMO - whilst the honk it gives your breath might work as social distancing and garlic does have some minor health benefits it ain't gonna cure covid-19.

Ok so here is the thing :/ A bit of unarticulated folk medicine lore : Garlic is very good for your immune system (the old gypsy boys crush it up and place it between 2 socks to ward off infections )... along with immune system boosters like Echinacea .

I am posting this within this section to be scrutinized or dismissed, but have witnessed and benefited from both garlic and echinacea before . Have a look at this :

9. Conclusions
Studies on Echinacea extracts have shown that some of them, but not all, possess multiple beneficial actions in the treatment of viral respiratory infections: (1) a direct virucidal activity against several respiratory viruses; (2) reversal of the pro-inflammatory response of epithelial cells and tissues to different viruses; (3) reduction in the excessive secretion of mucin by airway cells and tissues; (4) lack of cytotoxic effects or disruption of tissue integrity by Echinacea in airway cell cultures or tissues, at practical antiviral concentrations; (5) additional potentially positive effects on cellular gene expression. A combination of these beneficial activities could reduce the amount of prevailing viable virus, and their transmission, and also lead to amelioration of the virus-induced symptoms.

Garlic (Allium sativum L. fam. Alliaceae) is one of the most researched and best-selling herbal products on the market. For centuries it was used as a traditional remedy for most health-related disorders. Also, it is widely used as a food ingredient--spice and aphrodisiac. Garlic's properties...

I am not on shitter or facefuck, but I am guessing there is a load of capitalists touting their products . In this light I would like to state that I have no connection to any garlic or herb producers .

I've switched to diet of exclusively chilli and garlic. It has really helped with the social distancing.

 

[Duncan2]

I suppose ,since nothing is being made of it here or elsewhere that the ten-minute self-testing kits which were apparently being shipped to Bahrain by the container-load are likewise so much woo?When I did hear mention of them on C4 a couple of days ago it seemed like a little ray of hope.I think the point made was that part of the difficulty in targetting scarce resources was the "invisibility" of the spread of the virus and self-testing kits were being touted as a potential solution to that aspect?

 

[gentlegreen]

I'm wondering about these - though doubtless, like BP, you would know if things were going wrong ...
Regards accuracy, like temperature, presumably they would be useful as a relative measurement ...

I must have an unusually sane collection of Facebook friends, the nuttiest one is screaming for society to be shut down NOW (tbh she does have some health issues so may be in a vulnerable group), aside from that there’s a fair few criticising the government (normally sharing some kind of expert opinion article), but most are just piss taking or grumbling about bog roll shortage etc. No woo, no yogic cures, nothing. Maybe I can borrow some of other people‘s friends for my entertainment?

Marty1 . Nope. Piers Corbyn saying iTs sOros trying to kilL you with a vAcCine is just a totally insane conspiracy theory that if people believe it will lead to lots of unnecessary deaths. Yes people do 'game' pandemics, how else do you think plans are made.

Piers Morgan’s tweet is clearly based on Event 201 and this infamous quote by BG when he did a Ted Talk.

You don’t have to use the globalists vaccine Marty.

Im not agreeing with Piers Morgan, just pointing out where he’s getting his material from, though I’m not sure what BG is on about in his Ted Talk.

 

[bimble]

He’s on about reducing childhood mortality rates, that’s his idea, that people have less children if they feel they have a decent chance of living past the age of 5. He’s not saying ‘let’s kill people with vaccines’. Hope that helps.

Snopes slapdown

In late December 2019, a new coronavirus was discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan. As the disease eventually dubbed COVID-19 spread from that region to the rest of the world, something else came with it — an “infodemic” of rumors and misinformation.

Here’s a compilation of claims we’ve fact-checked so far, separated by category:

• Conspiracy Theories and ‘Predictions’
• Memes and Misinformation
• Origins and Treatments
• Government Response
