Apr 02nd, 2020 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I've repeatedly mentioned to many of the naysayers commenting on Mercopress, a widely available, low cost and effective treatment has been proven in several trials to be effective. It does not cure the virus, but is saving lives.

(And yes, I'm very aware of the conflicting reporting in the mainstream press.)
¡Salud!
So now that, due to late and inconsistent measures the pandemic the US number of those infected begin to dwarf China's numbers, the US suddenly “discover” that Chinese information isn't trustworthy?
Apr 02nd, 2020 - 08:25 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Well: First of all, the Chinese information it has been called into question for a while.
Secondly, how valuable that information is for the States right now? Their measures have been different from state to state, their medical supply stockpiles are dwindling, president Trump has refused to promptly act on his medical advisors' recommendations. Instead of blaming the Chinese, the country should take power from their clearly incapable president and give it to a multiparty team lead by experts.
Otherwise, the pandemic will continue to spread unabated and seriously impact their population.
All the very best wishes to ALL the Canadian people. It seems the “incapable President” has somehow convinced the majority of USA voters otherwise...

Although unfortunately the wondrous avocado tree does not fare well in Canada, be assured that is a year round supply available from Canadian supermarkets — sourced from environmentally beneficial, carbon consuming and oxygen producing sustainable avocado forests.
Delicious and healthy avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados are full of healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated and served upon toast has proven to reduce stress. (And yes, even are an excellent natural skin care.)

Chicureo, your attempts to clean up inaccuracies in media are unfortunately creating new ones.
Apr 03rd, 2020 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The majority in the US are NOT followers of Trump. Clinton outpolled him by 3 million and that number has only tripled since. Almost the entirety of the West Coast, especially California, hate Trump. His party is almost nonexistent there. Not coincidentally, they are the most virus-free in the country, following smarter health procedures than Trump could ever imagine.
Trump's following is a decided minority, mostly consisting of older rural voters, who won him the presidency on a technicality, essentially because he won a majority of the least-populated states while Clinton won most of the urban ones: Rural areas, the land size itself, far outnumber urban ones in the US. This is a system instituted in 1789 and never changed! The success of the US has made it hard to change the system, which require a 3/4 vote approval by the very rural states refusing to give up their political power.
And those are the facts on the ground in the US, a country literally retarded by its dumb oafs and their hero, Dumber-than-Shit Trump. That will all change after this year's elections in November, he has lost too much of his support after squeaking by with the win in 2016, as polls have consistently shown since he took office. This plague is as if punishment on the US by Our Great Creator, the Goddess Pachamama aka Earth.

I'm acquainted with the USA and its quixotic “electoral college” and understand that Ms. Clinton indeed won the popular vote in 2016... Current 2020 national polls (which I accept have been horrendously wrong in the past ), show Trump's handling of the crisis to be well over 50%. (Are the polls wrong?)
I greatly admire your beautiful state and I'm very fortunate to have friends there. California is a complementary seasonal producer of avocados and table grapes so I've visited the ”golden state on numerous occasions.
I'm curious what particular actions you mean get suggest the Trump administration should have done differently. (And I do recognize the excellent management of your state Democrat governor.)
This is an article for your interest: https://archive.fo/3HNi3
If I was a foolish high-stakes gambling man (which I am because I'm a farmer) I would bet my farm that Trump will win the upcoming November election.
But then again, I'm just a humble farmer in Chile, with great respect for Mother Earth. I know her anger too well...

Since all of your online activities have you pegged as a simple troll. For example your suggestion that this Alt R cite as credible, when my source Time Magazine flatly refutes their claim
”Overall, we rate One America News Far right biased based on story selection that consistently favors the Right and Mixed for factual reporting due to promotion of conspiracies, lack of sourcing and a few failed fact checks.

It looks like my mainstream has your original fringe source beaten by a golden mile. I guess you guys off in the 'boonies' like your information primarily from the outer limits.
As to your latest claim it only hints as a possibility. But it's still not totally effective, and it appears when used(as in severe cases) the outcome is still the same. As the Time article says ”In those patients, the load of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, in their blood dropped after they received the medications, although their clinical symptoms didn’t change much ... Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said the data so far “was not done in a controlled clinical trial. So you really can’t make any definitive statement about it.”
Yes, but the initial trials did not include the addition of a healthy diet, such as like adding avocado on toast.
Apr 04th, 2020 - 01:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Toasted bread is good, but with avocado – the results are far better. The same when they incorporated the medicine in a “cocktail” of two other components...

Apr 04th, 2020 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Yes, but the initial trials ... like adding avocado” No, No, you're not going to be able to rely on irrelevancies and absurdities. It was your claim “low cost and effective treatment has been proven” as untrue. As in your claim it only hints as a possibility. But it's still not apparently effective, and it appears when used(as in severe cases) the outcome is still the same. As the Time article says “In those patients, the load of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, in their blood dropped after they received the medications, although their clinical symptoms didn’t change much ...”
To simplify the idea:
Apr 04th, 2020 - 03:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Effectively treating cases that show that improved results, does NOT imply a cure or vaccine.
The small clinical trials conducted in France, New York and Spain all have shown positive results. There is now another 1,000 patient clinical trial into its first few days, but some countries have have already adopted the protocol, including Belgium and India.
There are other treatments now showing positive results and at least three independent companies are claiming to have started successful vaccine trials, meaning perhaps a vaccine in 4 to 9 months public availability.

Apr 04th, 2020 - 04:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“all have shown positive results” is your claim versus Time Magazine's “In those patients, the load of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, in their blood dropped after they received the medications, although their clinical symptoms didn’t change much ...”.

Apr 04th, 2020 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Here are hundreds of treated patients that have reported success and the cost is inexpensive.” Unfortunately, the best you can proffer is a clinical trial that hopes “This viral attenuation should be associated with improved patient outcomes.”
Meanwhile, top US specialist in the use of this drug has said ”Right now we have no clinical evidence that it works.”
He is supported by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said the data so far “was not done in a controlled clinical trial. So you really can’t make any definitive statement about it.” Which kind of puts the kibosh to your claim “low cost and effective treatment has been proven” as not true.

“A president unfit for a pandemic
Much of the suffering and death coming was preventable. The president has blood on his hands.
While the spread of the novel coronavirus has been aggressive around the world, much of the profound impact it will have here in the United States was preventable. As the American public braces itself for the worst of this crisis, it’s worth remembering that the reach of the virus here is not attributable to an act of God or a foreign invasion, but a colossal failure of leadership.
The outbreak that began in China demanded a White House that could act swiftly and competently to protect public health, informed by science and guided by compassion and public service. It required an administration that could quickly deploy reliable tests around the nation to isolate cases and trace and contain the virus’s spread, as South Korea effectively did, as well as to manufacture and distribute scarce medical supplies around the country. It begged for a president of the United States to deliver clear, consistent, scientifically sound messages on the state of the epidemic and its solutions, to reassure the public amid their fear, and to provide steady guidance to cities and states. And it demanded a leader who would put the country’s well-being first, above near-term stock market returns and his own reelection prospects, and who would work with other nations to stem the tide of COVID-19 cases around the world.
A president who, consistent with his mistrust and undermining of scientific fact, has misled the public about unproven cures for COVID-19,”
