Covid-19, life, and the hobby, post 1 of x
I've had some similar general feeling about this.
I also stopped from March 6 until October 20.
I also think that any girl who has been seeing guys for 2 or 3 months on a daily basis has inevitably been exposed, (remembering that active cases are 10 times the confirmed cases, since so many people have mild or no symptoms and never get tested), and gotten over it and cleared the virus and are therefore no longer infectious. The issue of virus remaining in the room from previous clients worries me more than the girl herself, (even though I generally kiss and lick *everything* on these girls and there's no way we're wearing masks), and I think that risk isn't that high or everybody would have gotten this in the first 2 weeks.
I also think the consequences of exposure are very much based on the host (us), more than the virus. The statistics bearing this out are enormous. For people under 65 or 70 who also lack morbid obesity, diabetes, hypertension, the mortality figures are miniscule. For the younger who have these conditions, it seems, anecdotally, that it's extreme cases involved, such as folks weighing 300+ pounds.
Now for those of us in the higher risk groups, which includes me with age 65, hypertension, diabetes and obesity (though not morbidly so, I need to lose 30 or 40 pounds) - I think there is a lot that can be done to *very* markedly to improve our prospects.
In brief, these relate to vitamin D, vitamin C, glutathione, and hydroxychloroquine (hereafter HCQ) and benhexine. I'll get into these more in subsequent posts, (I already lost 1 huge post on this here), but let me just say that the benefits of HCQ have been massively derided, and the risks massively overblown, for reasons that are political, not scientific.
[QUOTE=Jaster191;4990549]What are your guys' thoughts on how dangerous it is to see one right now? I completely stopped after the pandemic started.
I've been thinking though by now these girls most have gotten it and probably already recovered so maybe the same actually isn't that high? Could just be my little head doing the thinking.[/QUOTE]
Ever hear of the ignore function?

Back in February I visited Royal in Skokie and asked for a specific provider, that he mentioned by her name in one of his pre COVID reports. The place, in general, and that provider, in particular, turned out to be totally and explicitly legit. I lost $60 or 70, but learned my lesson. Stay safe.
What do you mean I don't tell the truth?

Covid-19, life, and the hobby, post 2 of x: vitamin D
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.
Late follow-up. TLDR: I think should all be taking 8,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day, and that's not just hobbyists worried about covid, that's everybody.
There have been many observational studies noting a strong association between low vitamin D levels and bad outcomes in covid19. These show an association, but can't necessarily prove that the first causes the second. It might be the other way around, or there could be some third factor that causes both.
HOWEVER: there's a pre-print study that shows causality: treating patients who were already in the hospital with covid19 pneumonia with large doses of a fast acting form of vitamin D, calcifediol, kept 98% of the treatment group out of the ICU. 50% of the placebo group ended up in the ICU and 2 died. These were people who were already in hospital with covid-19 pneumonia, so they were seriously ill, and these results are pretty amazing.
Here is a discussion of the study, by a fellow with PhD in Nutritional Science, Chris Masterjohn: [URL]https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/covid-19/finally-confirmed-vitamin-d-nearly-abolishes-icu-risk-in-covid-19[/URL].
Here's the study he is discussing: [URL]https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960076020302764?via%3Dihub[/URL].
Some have criticized the study due to relatively small size and possible other factors (in spite of randomization, the placebo group started off with somewhat worse baseline conditions). I've read somewhere a analysis of that study that came to the conclusion that, in the worst case, it ws still likely quite meaningful.
In his discussion, Masterjohn notes that the doses of calcifediol given would be equivalent to vitamin D dosre of "106,400 IU vitamin D on day 1, 53,200 IU on days 3 and 7, and 53,200 IU weekly thereafter. If this were given as daily doses, it would be the equivalent of 30,400 per day for the first week, followed by a maintenance dose of 7,600 IU per day. ".
These sound huge, but much larger doses of vitamin D have been given without issues.
The calcefediol has the advantage of already being the form of vitamin d that actually circulates in the blood, so it acts more quickly to raise the blood levels. For patients already sick with covid pneumonia, this is clearly advantageous.
However, Masterjohn notes this study [URL]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30917531/[/URL], see Figure 1, showing that the effects of 100,000 IU of vitamin D has its effect over the period of a few days to a week.
In trying to determine the best blood levels of vitamin d, Masterjohn refers to Figure 4 of this analysis of numerous studies relating to all-cause mortality, [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103214/#!po=23.9130[/URL], deciding that around 30 ng / ml is ideal, and that more might be less good.
However I chanced upon this paper: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5541280/[/URL]. It uses units if nmol / L, where 2. 5 nmol / L = 1 ng / ml. That paper identifies 30 ng / ml to 50 ng / ml as an optimal level and recommends 10,000 IU pr day to reach the higher of those.
Worth noting that the geniuses / s who set levels in this country recommend a mete 400 IU per day. This is enough to prevent rickets, the most obvious disease of vitamin D deficiency, it is not by any means the optimal amount.
