A new thought on osteoathritis. I notice that bended knees worsen the pain of osteoathritis. If the knees are straightened more frequently the patients will have less complaints.

COVID 19 (2)
LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles doctor said he is seeing significant success in prescribing the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc to treat patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19.
Hydroxychloroquine has been touted as a possible treatment for COVID-19 by President Trump among others, but it remains controversial as some experts believe it is unproven and may not be effective.
The drug has long been used for treatment of malaria and conditions such as lupus and arthritis but is not technically approved by the FDA for COVID-19. The agency, however, is encouraging trials and has provided limited emergency authorization for its use to treat COVID-19 patients.
Dr. Anthony Cardillo said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients.
"Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free," Cardillo told Eyewitness News. "So clinically I am seeing a resolution."
Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank.
He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication.
He added that the drug should not be prescribed for those who are presenting only mild symptoms, as there are concerns about shortages for patients with other conditions who need to take the drug on a regular basis.
"We have to be cautious and mindful that we don't prescribe it for patients who have COVID who are well," Cardillo said. "It should be reserved for people who are really sick, in the hospital or at home very sick, who need that medication. Otherwise we're going to blow through our supply for patients that take it regularly for other disease processes."

Chloroquine, or hydroxychloroquine, has been approved to treat and prevent malaria since 1944. Because the drug is on the market, doctors can use it for off-label purposes.
President Trump has touted it as a possible cure, but the government's top coronavirus expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been much more cautious, saying there is only "anecdotal evidence" demonstrating its effectiveness.
Experts are also concerned about potential misuse. A man in Arizona died after taking a similar drug, chloroquine phosphate, in an apparent attempt to self-medicate. The man did not take the pharmaceutical version of the drug, but a version used at aquariums to clean fish tanks.

The FDA advises against taking any form of chloroquine unless prescribed by a doctor and obtained from a legitimate source.
Another drug that has shown some potential for treating COVID-19 is remdesivir, a drug that was initially developed as a potential treatment for Ebola. A Palo Alto woman was accepted into a clinical trial for remdesivir and said it was effective in improving her condition.

COVID 19
Caused by a corona virus again
Started in China again just like SARS.
Behaves like biological warfare.
Little wonder Potus rejected testing kits from abroad.

GOP
It is time for the republicans to be united.
No time for distractions.
What Romney did was bad. He was trying to overthrow Trump with a last minute push and appeal.
The GOP should focus on Trump and his agenda.
The Dems are imploding.
Iowa is a disaster for them.
When the GOP speak the squad is silent to an extent.
HURRAY!!!

Mitt Romney
Wow!! It looks like this man still wants to be president soonest. He knows he will be much older in 4 years time so he wants to be president today. Why not he wait for his turn? Why try to convince others to remove a president only to exact revenge and or take his place? This really looks bad for him not even for Potus. Why try to be a bad stabber?

impeachment
If the victim of an alleged crime says he was not harmed how can others claim the alleged victim was harmed? If President Zelinsky says there was no problem how can others complain for Zelinsky? If an alleged rape victim says there was no rape the case will be thrown out of court.

Fires #
Are they really spontaneous?
Do they happen out the blue?
Do people not start them?
Smothering cigarettes stubs have caused more fires than they have been given credit for.
So should cigarette companies not help in paying the cost of putting out wild fires?
I have heard of a firefighter setting fires to get big jobs.
In the cold weather individuals start fires to warm themselves but may not be too careful to put them completely out.
So please enough already of blaming climate change for the fires.
It's just like burning down your house and then people blame the hot dry weather for it.

Fires
What causes most of these wild fires we hear of?
Most I must submit are man-made. Encampment fires that go out of control, smoking cigar or cigarette stubs, intentional fires by wicked people, and rarely lightning fires.
To stop wild out of control fires the following will have to be done:
Shutting off all gas in the area.
Turning off all electricity in the area.
Making a pool of water form in front of the fire advance edge.
Every home should make a pool of water around their homes with hoses.
Sand also could be used to form a barrier against the fires.
