What’s up today? (Part 1)

Before the recent attack on the BBC and further denying interviews etc. I feel it’s a lot more sinister than we know.

Nothing that a bit of bleach can’t fix :wink:
And maybe all that golfing Trump has been doing will help a bit here: outside → more vitamine D → better immune system.

I discover the gemini protocol : somewhere between gopher and the web, aiming at being simple and privacy oriented. Maybe it can serve as inspiration for some Safe projects :

This article made me smile. I just introduced my son to the pleasures of Open Transport Tycoon. The history of the author is fun to read.

Large security operation.

A lot of fuss over a yellow stone that the general public aren’t really encouraged to invest in.

We’re told it’s better of getting bits of paper and invest in paper investments.

How does this work?

For those in the US that are looking for an anti-war, pro-free-market, fiscally sane candidate for president, vote Jo Jorgensen! And if you’re not sure what a libertarian is or why you would vote for one, it’s worth a quick DuckDuckGo :slightly_smiling_face:

Apparently he is taking a more sane approach?

And apparently Trump is also taking remdesivir, zinc, vitamin D, famotidine (a medication for heartburn or acid reflux), melatonin and a daily aspirin. So also no (more) hydroxychloroquine it seems.

Imagine a world where people base their opinions on information sources beyond the understanding of the simple minded politically motivated 24/7 drive-by news cycle. Fact check?

Many viruses require reduced sulfhydryl groups for cell fusion and entry. Corona viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of the condition now named coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19), are rich in cysteine, which residues must be intact for viral activity. Sulfhydryl groups are vulnerable to oxidation. Ozone therapy, a very inexpensive and safe modality may safely exploit this critical vulnerability in many viruses, inclusive of SARS-CoV-2.
“Novel coronavirus” SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly spreading worldwide with a significant mortality rate. There is real threat of a global pandemic of an easily transmissible disease, with a significant morbidity and mortality, from this epidemic, if not another in the future. According to the World Health Organization, SARS-CoV-2 carries at least a 14-day incubation period [1]. Infected people will escape simple detection by temperature, permitting rapid global transmission. China placed tens of millions of people on lockdown to respond to the outbreak.
Mainstream medicine has little in its arsenal for viral disease, and its therapies for bacterial infections are waning as well. Coronaviruses have abundant cysteine in their spike proteins that may be easily and safely exploited with ozone (or other oxidation) therapy. Cysteine residues are also abundant in viral membrane proteins and must be “conserved” for viral cell entry. The purpose of this manuscript is to bring attention to ozone therapy as a novel treatment for “conventionally” untreatable viral illnesses.
Few in our field are not familiar with the great 1918 influenza pandemic. However, few are also aware that inexpensive intravenous hydrogen peroxide was utilized by British physician Oliver, who halved the death rate from influenza pneumonia in India [37]. Similarly, another oxidation therapy, ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy, was successfully used to cure 15 of 15 cases of viral pneumonia in hospitalized patients in the 1940s [38]. Ultraviolet energy is well accepted to destroy microorganisms, and is used as a sterilizing agent, and in air purification. Ultraviolet energy destroys cysteine in microorganisms [39].

Ozone’s challenge is that it does not bring profit to justify private research to advance it towards regulatory agency “approval”, a process requiring tens of millions of USD. Hence, few in the medical field are aware of it, and fewer will consider “unapproved” therapy even to save lives [40]. It suffers from the “tomato effect” [41], because many of its achievements are regarded as impossible to believe. Virtually all use is in private offices, where most practitioners have no access to an institutional review board, now a requirement to gain acceptance of research for publication. Hence, advancement of ozone therapy into mainstream medicine languishes, and most patients, with no alternatives to conventional therapies, suffer.

The world already has a most inexpensive, safe, and likely effective remedy for deadly viral diseases, which exploits their redox vulnerability at critical membrane cysteine/tryptophan fusion sites. Ozone therapy could be easily deployed worldwide, even in very poor countries. With few conventional treatments for viral pneumonia, this epidemic could provide impetus to study ozone therapy very ethically under the auspices of an institution’s review board in treating, with ozone therapy, seriously ill patients, who might otherwise expire. Milder cases could also be treated to study the ability of ozone therapy to slow or halt clinical deterioration. Such study could bring ozone therapy to the forefront of all-around infectious disease management, providing answers to our growing problems with resistant infection. Governments should take notice.

Happened to come across this in a German IT-Magazine the other day, using ozone as well but a bit less intrusive:

mask

Caption says “selbststerilisierende Atemschutzmaske”.

Wired as if it was a mouthphone, enables “auf Knopfdruck desinfizierendes Ozon in geringer Menge.”
