At least in their defense, N95s seem to be the only masks that actually do anything in terms of transmission prevention.

ALL masks (even home-made cloth ones) do SOMETHING for transmission prevention.  ANY mask is better than no mask.  N95s appear to be the best, but do not denigrate other masks.

True. I missed the caveat "over time." We're just seeing more and more analsys of actual transmission that indicates if you're close to somebody for a half hour or more, the cloth masks move increasingly towards uselessness.

I'll be very fascinated to see how we're able to process what we learn about what helped and what didn't after we're able to analyze these last two years.

I will tell you what helped, but I would recommend you watch the 3-hour Joe Rogan podcast with Dr Peter McCullough, whose multi-faceted approach published online in Dec 2020 outlined the course and the pathophysiology of the disease, (put "McCullough" and "Multifaceted" into your browser to go his open access publication in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, Dec 2020). Also watch the 3-hour Joe Rogan podcast with Dr Robert Malone who holds patents in mRNA vaccines.

In April 2020, the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) published an algorithm that offered off-label use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for early symptomatic use. If you look at the mortality timeline for India at worldometers.info/coronavirus thru 2020 you see that the mortality rate from COVID was 15 times higher in the US than India. The same could be said for Indonesia as well. If you follow the timeline for India in 2021 (1.4 Billion people) when Delta hit, one sees rapid increase beginning about Mar 17. By May 17, the mortality rate peaked at 5000 per day; the ICMR released a new algorithm that offered off-label use of HCQ or Ivermectin. The death rate fell 90% in the next 2 months across the country except in one state in India where the government withheld its use. Even now, the Death rate in India is only 13% of the US today, roughly 8-1 US. The same can be said for Indonesia (Pop. 278M), which was chastised by the WHO for using HCQ in May 2020. The US death rate is 5 times higher than Indopnesia

Look at Bangladesh, 140M people crammed into an area the size of Iowa. Resource poor Bangladesh used Betadine gargles and "Neti-pot" nasal irrigation to kill the virus on contact. The Randomized Control Trial giving the evidence is by Choudhury.

3 December 2020 - Early treatment study
Effect of 1% Povidone Iodine Mouthwash/Gargle, Nasal and Eye Drop in COVID-19 patient
Choudhury et al., Bioresearch Communications, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2021 (Peer Reviewed)

To date, the death rate in the US is 16 times higher than Bangladesh.

The world's literature on COVID can be found at c19early.com.
IMHO, if you want one paper to read, it is McCullough's.

The way to defeat COVID is the use of an ionophore such as HCQ, Ivermectin or the bioflavonoid, Quercetin**. An ionophore opens the door of the cell to allow the Zinc to enter to stop the replication of the virus. Dr Fauci has known that medical principle since the days of HIV in the 1980's. As soon as the HIV virus is detected, you stop the viral replication and knock down the viral load with your drug-du-jour. It is the same with influenza and Tamiflu. The worse thing that you can do is send someone home with COVID to get sicker and allow the virus the do more damage to the body. The viral infection sis essentially spent aby 7-10 days. by then we are dealing with damage that the virus did to the body.

**One can buy Dr Viktor Zelenko's nutraceutical cocktail, Z-stack, online. This contains his combination of Quercetin, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C and Zinc. Dr Zelenko has had very dramatic "cure/survival" rates with his use of this combination early. During outbreaks, you can use this product daily.

I stopped reading at "Joe Rogan..."

Then Ryan, I am very disappointed. I expect a D3boards reader to review with serious eye any link that will help with discussion. I had never seen Joe Rogan and was not familiar with his work. In these 2 interviews, Mr Rogan was very well prepared.

He asked pertinent questions in a manner that reasonably educated people could understand the science behind the discussion. He covered all aspects of the COVID issue in the 2 interviews.

In the case that Mr Rogan is a "no-go", then I encourage fellow readers to view Dr McCullough's testimony before Congress on CSPAN in Nov 2020.

Here is Dr McCullough's testimony before HHS Committee of the Texas Senate in Spring of 2021.

I stopped reading when I see "Ryan Scott." How does that feel?

Way to have an open mind.

An 'open mind' does NOT equate to an 'empty mind'.  Joe Rogan has approximately the credibility of 'Joe Goebbels.'  As Spotify is beginning to understand.

Is the John Hopkins study wrong too ?

Congrats to Coach Eslinger at Cal Tech. He finally got the albatross off his neck by beating CMS last night. He has now beaten all the SCIAC teams.
