I think the correct word is endemic.

Yes … thank you … fogged up momentarily

I ordered the test kits. I just want to see if USPS can actually deliver them. And how long it takes to actually get them.

What is significant about that date?

Nothing in particular (Gutfeld! spoke to it one night; post-omicron blip, call it done) … It’s fairly arbitrary yet I concur!

Well, sounds good to me. I put it in the calender...

I think this administration is going to find it very, very, hard to unwind this and declare victory when a substantial portion of the population has been turned into insane hypochondriacs by the continual flow of lies and BS over the past two years. No one trusts government at this point, so their trying to post a win on this one by shutting it all down is going to be an almost impossible goal.

And just as an aside, ya'll can have my allotted test kits. I'm so over all this BS that I want nothing more to do with anything having to do with it.

Having just gotten over COVID and they talk so much about different variants and supposedly Omicron having less severe symptoms, why is it a person is not told what variant they have when they test positive? I was fully vaccinated and I suffered pretty bad symptoms. I would like to know which one I had. Are they even really checking?

No… it’s much more complicated than the tests can determine.
It requires genetic sequencing.

February 1st is something Scott Adams (Dilbert fame) and Greg Gutfeld have been talking about since right before Christmas. Basically Adams said the American people need to just pick a date and be done with the whole covid thing because if they don't the government never will and it will continue forever.

Greg Gutfeld, Scott Adams Agree: Americans Need ‘a Hostage Negotiator’ to Free Them from Our Government

I wouldn’t be surprised if he declares victory at the SOTU address. March 1.

Scott Adams for President !!!

A question for the healthcare folks on the site. I'm currently taking Zinc, Vitamin D, and Vitamin C though at lower dosages than Per Dr. Peter McCullough recommends. My question...I 'thought' the maximum quantity of Vitamin C the body could absorb daily was 500mg. I assume I'm wrong in my knowledge/understanding? The good doctor recommends 2000mg of Vitamin C per day in this video. I'm not overly concerned about Vitamin D as I'm outside in the sun much of every day.

There’s a lot of debate regarding high-dose Vitamin C but in my opinion it works and no one really knows how or why. Growing up, my stepmother gave us around 1,500 mg worth of chewable Vitamin C and a large glass of orange juice daily and we rarely ever had colds or flu.

Did you know the story of how Brits came to be called “Limeys”?

The British sailors often suffered from survey and other ailments but whenever they were able to get large supplies of limes and other citrus fruits from tropical ports, and each sailor was issued a daily ration of a couple of them, these sicknesses miraculously disappeared.

I was told that Vitamin C is water soluble and not stored in the body so when go pee pee any unused Vitamin C is excreted. I hope this helps. God Bless !!!

Absorption of Differing Vitamin C Doses
Figure 1. line graph on the absorption of differing vitamin c doses

Figure 1: The red line on the chart below shows a sharp increase in blood (plasma) vitamin C levels at 200 mg daily dosing. The blue line depicts the smaller additional increases in response to higher vitamin C doses (400-2,500 mg).10

For intakes of vitamin C up to 200 mg, 70%-90% of the ingested vitamin C is absorbed as indicated by the plasma levels achieved.

At doses greater than 200 mg, the proportion of absorbed vitamin C decreases

Therefore, although higher doses (400-2,500 mg) result in greater plasma levels, the proportion of the dose that is absorbed is significantly diminished.

A new formulation overcomes this limitation, resulting in a greater proportion of the vitamin being absorbed and remaining at a higher and sustained blood plasma level throughout the day.
Higher Doses Only Partially Work

What some people do is take higher vitamin C doses (1,000-2,500 mg) that provide a slightly longer degree of acting protection.

These higher doses, however, do not increase vitamin C blood levels at the same rate that occurs with the initial 200 mg dose.

To put this in perspective, the body rapidly absorbs the initial 200 mg of vitamin C swallowed, and partially absorbs some of the excess beyond 200 mg. The remainder is removed through the bowels, sometimes in the form of diarrhea.

Some people use high-dose vitamin C powder combined with magnesium and/or potassium as a laxative.

The primary objective, however, is to achieve higher and sustained vitamin C levels in the bloodstream and cells.

Figure 1 on this page shows vitamin C plasma levels spiking sharply higher with the first 200 mg taken daily, with only modest plasma increases at doses ranging from 400-2,500 mg.

Yoop, I saw a box of the test kits at a BP gas station today and the cashier said 20 bucks a kit. Someone trying to make money on these. Like CBD products and cronky virus masks, hand sanitizer, the kits will be as easy to find as a Hershey bar. I didnt see anyone eager to buy a 20 dollar kit.

As soon as I found out my wife had COVID, then during my time fighting it, and still right now I am taking 500mg of Vitamin C once in the morning and once at night. I figure with something like Vitamin C, your body will use what it can and eliminate the rest in urine. I am not a doctor so I could be wrong.

You are right. I've been taking C 500 and sometimes 1000 mic mic for 4 decades. All is normal. At 63 I still got a pretty good immune system. Wish I could find D3 as a suppliment or what foods.
