Common sense medicine is key.

Vitamin D
Zinc
Hydroxychloroquine

All as preventative or as soon as infection is found. Do those three and your chances go way, way up.

But there is no money in it! Trump and others calling for it are hated by the media.

So we let people die because the media does not like the messenger and Big Pharma cannot make enough money.

I am not a Doctor. But, I believe Vitamin D is good for preventing many things.

I never understand how so many people have a deficiency. They must stay inside all day?

I don't have a diet that contains much natural vitamin D (in fact I avoid many of the foods that do have it, seafood), and I don't take vitamin d supplements, and my levels are always fine. If you spend a least a few hours a day outside there should not be issues (which may be the issue in modern America).

I eat a can of vitamin D loaded
sardines every day.

Interesting data on the death rate in the US from Macrotrends website. It shows the same growth in the death rate for this year as the previous year. This despite the reported Covid deaths.

United States - Historical Death Rate Data
Year Death Rate Growth Rate
2020 8.880 1.120%
2019 8.782 1.120%
2018 8.685 1.220%
2017 8.580 1.240%

Not surprising. The average age of Coronavirus deaths is older than the average age of death by all other causes.

Nearly all of the people dying from Coronavirus would have died of heart disease, stroke, natural causes etc in the next 1-2 years, the virus just got them first.

Everyone has to die somehow.

Nearly all? You mean more than 90%? Then you are just flat out wrong. Why would you just make up stuff? How about..... a lot of the deaths were in elderly sick people who had a short time left regardless. But saying ‘nearly all’ would have died ‘within 1 to 2 years’..... is just plain silly.

At first I was going to say it correlates pretty close to population density, with these 7 as the densest states.
1 New Jersey
2 Rhode Island
3 Massachusetts
4 Connecticut
5 Maryland
6 Delaware
7 New York
...
23 Louisiana
32 Mississippi

But Louisiana and Mississippi are fairly low ranked on population density scale.

Those numbers for NYC and NJ rank with the highest nationwide causes of death per 100K
164 Heart Disease
149 Malignant Neoplasm (cancer)
50 or fewer all other causes

Shocking the Dakotas have the highest growth rate in the country
WTF
This is an area of the planet that had the longest time to prepare
It was coming and they had more of a heads up then most places in this country and the planet
Really sad they let Sturgis go on
Amazing how stupid some Republican Governors essentially ignoring this virus putting their people in danger

Dakotas lead US in virus growth as both reject mask rules

I traveled through deep red states in the south, Mississippi, Alabama. Masks everywhere. Thank goodness these Governors get it

“A virologist named Li-Meng Yan, who was a researcher at the University of Hong Kong’s School of Public Health, recently claimed the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) was created by the Chinese Communist Party and that the World Health Organization (WHO) and Dr. Anthony Fauci are covering up for China.” - Article



Hours ago, she published what she says is ‘Smoking Gun’ evidence, Covid-19 was created in a lab. Report
