Fighting Covid When Kept Home
This was shared on a Covid survivor group…have heard many of these before but it seems helpful: HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME when you are not hospitalized.
“When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her, What can I do to help fight this at home? She said:
1. Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lie on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in.
2. Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have.
2. When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lie back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs.
3. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial.
4. Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus. These are good for Potassium.
5. Do not drink anything cold - have it at room temperature or warm it up. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. (as a singer I know milk products produce phlegm and always advised my students to have none for 3 days before a performance)
6. Vitamins D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity.
7. Drink a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter.
We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn’t a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid when you are not critical. I hope this helps you or someone you know, just as it has helped me.”
(Wow, @thetimetostrikeislater wish you’d had this info when you were ill)
I definitely wish I had this info when I contracted Covid back in March😓 it was so hard on my lungs! and I couldn’t go to the hospital because it was too full. Stay safe my friends.
“Federal authorities are using a new tactic in their battle against protesters in Portland, Oregon: arrest them on offenses as minor as ‘failing to obey’ an order to get off a sidewalk on federal property — and then tell them they can’t protest anymore as a condition for release from jail.”
This is no joke. Please share. Truthout is a reliable source at the forefront of leftist independent reporting. The author of this article article represents ProPublica, a NYC based newsroom, critically acclaimed for its investigative journalism. CBS News has now also reported on the issue. Freedom of expression is being critically violated by the US federal government. There is no time to waste– it is crucial that everyone keep informed as the situation intensifies. Do not rely solely on mainstream news companies. While I don’t want to be alarmist... now that the federal government has tested the waters and solidified this power, fascism is an immediate threat. Unfettered corporatism has fostered authoritarian oligarchy. Electoral politics have become virtually defunct. Do not look away. Watch closely.
tumblr is great because I know the plotline of at least fifteen different tv series without ever having seen an episode
I dont know any plotlines i just know which characters are gay
Fox News is extremely racist. Here are six minutes of examples.
Fox News is toxic as hell. Fuck them and all the racist white people who support them.
This stuff is fucking appalling…I can’t believe they get away with saying it on TV
Well this explains some of the fucked up shit some of my older women relatives are saying.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
We’re really at this point of the dystopia, huh
I thought this was a joke but wow no Trump really actually did threaten to shut down Twitter because it “silences conservative voices,” a claim inspired by the fact that Twitter attached a fact-check to a couple of his tweets.
turning off your cell phone isn’t going to do what you want it to do
law enforcement can analyze your metadata, locate that disruption in your patterns, and use that to prosecute you later, if they choose. if you go out, if you protest, if you and others engage in disruptive events, consider leaving your phone at home and on, or with someone you trust to continue engaging in your patterns (texting, using social media, etc.) as another necessary step in covering your tracks and protecting yourself in the future.
if you have to communicate in the field, use prepaid, disposable phones that are not connected to you or people you know, or two-way radio. strictly speaking, though, its best not to communicate in any way other than directly while in the field. set up meet times and locations and organize movement directly.
in our times of big data, removing all evidence of involvement includes the creation of data. stay safe yall
remember how gay this scene was? good times
