Hair is a fiber so there is a small chance 'rona might be up in there since it can live on various surfaces for days. I've been alternating between a headwrap and scrub cap since mid April. Now it'll only be the scrub cap because we have to wear a face shield and the elastic won't fit around the headwraps.

The reason I began washing my hair daily is that whenever I encounter someone without a mask / wearing their mask incorrectly (nose or mouth exposed) or is trash at social distancing, I turn my back towards them so that if they are going to be breathing on me it's my hair instead of my face. I assume everybody is asymptomatic . I'm not tryna have these fools cooties on me and the old man's pillow cases to inhale during snoring time! :mad:

Full Disclosure: I am a hypochondriac so I'ma be extra on GP.

Diabetes May Be Triggered by COVID-19, According to Experts

BY KASHMIRA GANDER ON 6/15/20 AT 4:42 AM EDT




COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, may trigger diabetes in patients, experts in the metabolic condition believe.

In a letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine, an international team of diabetes researchers said COVID-19 has been linked to new cases of the condition. Those who already have diabetes have also been found to experience "severe metabolic complications." These include problems caused by dangerously high blood sugar levels in type 1 and 2 diabetics.
In the six months since the COVID-19 pandemic started, diabetes has emerged as a risk factor for a severe case of the disease, the authors said. Around 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, according to the World Health Organization.

Research suggests there is a link between stress and the development of diabetes. The team say that the stress of being seriously ill with COVID-19 could be involved in the new cases. They also say coronavirus may affect how the body processes sugar. The receptor that the virus uses to enter our bodies is found in organs that play a key role in the metabolism, such as the pancreas, fat tissue, small intestine, and kidneys.






The team said there are several precedents for viruses causing an intermediate type of diabetes called ketosis-prone diabetes. These include other members of the coronavirus family of pathogens, which enter the body using the same receptor. For instance, patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which is also caused by a coronavirus, are known to develop high blood sugar levels while fasting and acute diabetes. This is also seen in patients with the lung infection pneumonia, which can be caused by viruses.

Zimmet is the co-lead investigator of a new global registry of patients with diabetes linked to COVID-19. It is hoped the CoviDiab Registry project will shed light on the link between the two diseases and find ways to treat these patients.

Francesco Rubino, professor of metabolic surgery at King's College London and co-lead investigator of the CoviDiab Registry project, said in a statement: "Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases and we are now realizing the consequences of the inevitable clash between two pandemics.

"Given the short period of human contact with this new coronavirus, the exact mechanism by which the virus influences glucose metabolism is still unclear and we don't know whether the acute manifestation of diabetes in these patients represent classic type 1, type 2 or possibly a new form of diabetes."

Zimmet said: "By establishing this Global Registry, we are calling on the international medical community to rapidly share relevant clinical observations that can help answer these questions."

Anna Morris, assistant director of research at the charity Diabetes U.K. who did not work on the article, told Newsweek: "We know that there is some evidence to suggest that viruses can—in some cases—trigger type 1 diabetes in those with a predisposition to the condition. That said, although new onset diabetes has been observed in some people with COVID-19, the relationship between the two conditions appears to be complex, and many questions still remain.

Morris said the charity welcomes the launch of the CoviDIAB global registry.


Dr. Katarina Kos, senior lecturer in diabetes and obesity research at the University of Exeter and consultant physician in diabetes who was not involved in the letter, told Newsweek via email it may be that the new type 2 diabetes cases are occurring in patients who already had undiagnosed problems with their metabolism, and high blood sugar levels were a response to the infection.

A teen recently died of Covid-19 complications. He was also diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when admitted to the hospital. Never diagnosed for that before. Oh by the way, he was black and overweight. Oh another thing, he never left the house. Got it from his mother who was a nurse that worked at a nursing home.

Could be, but would someone have a fighting chance if someone you lived with had it and you kept being exposed? Remember no mask, no gloves, and they are giving you hugs, kisses, preparing your food, and touching everything daily?

I thought with time, there would be a better understanding of this virus. Instead I am questioning Cuomo as well as the FDA.

I am losing faith in the medical and pharmaceutical industry.

In 3 days time, there is going to be a rally in Tulsa. If any of the ladies here live in Tulsa, y'all better stock up. Cause if its similar to what happen with that Korean Church in Korea. The place where he is holding the events holds about 19,000 people. The situation that happened in Korea..had 600 people.

I pray enough people wear masks.

EMS crews won't take flatlining cardiac patients to hospital under New York City's new coronavirus rules
  • Source: New York Daily News
  • Published: 04/02/2020 01:49 PM
Cardiac patients who flatline will not be taken to area hospitals for further care, according to a new directive handed down as the city battles the rise in coronavirus cases. The new orders from the Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of New York City say that “no adult non-traumatic or blunt traumatic cardiac arrest is to be transported to a hospital with manual or mechanical compressions in progress" unless the person’s heart restarts at the scene. The council — which sets policies followed by private and government EMS crews in the five boroughs — issued the order to free up emergency room space for the continuing onslaught of COVID-19 cases. “In the event a resuscitation is terminated, and the body is in public view, the body can be left in the custody of the NYPD,” the directive notes.

NY ladies, have you guys been catching the governor's briefings? They used to be at 11:30am, but I haven't seen him in days/weeks. But when I go online, I'll see blurbs from it. When/where is it being broadcasted??

*The schedule on NYS.gov doesn't make sense to me.

I don’t know why these hateful people can’t just meet outside. That would still be awful because people would be coming from all over, bringing their germs and spreading them all over public spaces, but it would help.

I saw a politician talking about how the testing was free in her state but how you have to take a flu test and some other test first before they test you for covid. The covid test is free but not the prerequisite tests.

I hope Floridians are doing everything in their power to protect themselves. They don’t have a Cuomo.
Healthy Floridians should not stress about going out. Chronic stress will eventually be much worse than any symptoms most people would get from catching the virus. We are learning more and more. Cuomo is actually hurting people. The unhealthy will have family, communities, and other resources to help most of them stay safe. Healthy Floridians please don't fear. Enjoy the sun.

This thread is too far long for me to find my quote. If people were locked in their homes and start to come out, numbers will increase. Most people will eventually have exposure either naturally or with experimental record breaking vaccine availabilities.

Oh btw, I am still taking preorders for my future saline vaccine. No worries whatsoever. Hopefully this saline vaccine will become mandatory.

Cuomo screwed up in the beginning but the numbers are low now, despite him trying to tamp down people w antibodies numbers. The Florida cases are increasing exponentially.
