Lower, but not right away.
[QUOTE=Niceguy99;5065481]I saw on the news that decriminalization is growing in popularity among Democrats. Do you think that would raise or lower what are roughly the "standard" prices?[/QUOTE]You have to ask? Initially the price would hold as the state will will cause added costs for providers such as taxing, and some bureaucratic red tape, licensing, testing etc. After a couple years prices will drop as more providers get in to the business and drive costs down. That is if other businesses that had similar things happen repeats itself.
Referendum To Legalize Prostitution.
Let's get a binding referendum going for the next election to legalize Prostitution.
Hanging out at my g / f's ob / gyn:
So, I'm hanging out in the room as the Doc is probing my 50 yr. AMP's twat! Everything checks out okay except for a little scarring. She asked if she's inserted large things in her and she "points" to me!! Doc turns to me and notices I look a little feverish. She swabs my mouth for Covid and I said,"My cock feels fine"! She swabs the tip of my cock and three days later I find out I have Covid but my cock does not!!
How the F does this happen?? BTW. When Doc was inspecting my nuts I shot off a small booger on her glove then swabbed me. Could I have shot off the virus on her glove?
Covid-19 reinfection, and the hobby.
[QUOTE=GeorgeStark;5077823]My theory is that: if a girl has been seeing multiple guys a day, 5 to 7 days a week, for two or three months: there's no way she *hasn't* been exposed, quite some time ago and whatever was going to happen has already happened. It might have been no infection (some people just don't catch this), or she had a case and got over it, with or without symptoms and her body has cleared the virus. In any case, It's done. Just stay away from the new girls, LOL.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Ump1969;5079119]You might be right. The problem is that there have been cases of some getting it a second time. And it still doesn't stop a girl from passing it to someone else. These things are documented.[/QUOTE]DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I'm just somebody who has spent the last 8 months reading obsessively about this.
As I said it's a theory. That said, well documented tales of reinfection are rare, especially when considered as a percentage of cases. The one I heard that was well documented was someone who caught it early in the pandemic, then caught it again after a new strain (D14 G) was known to have dominated. That new strain became the overwhelmingly dominant strain in May, so it's no longer new.
Simply testing positive, after testing negative, doesn't prove reinfection. The PCR tests detect viral RNA, but that doesn't mean that there is *whole infectious virus* present. The test matches only a small portion of the virus, and fragments that will be matched can be present long after thw immune system has cleared active virus from the body. And even that match is riddled with false positives.
Because thw testing is so problematic, CDC has switched to a sympto and time based criteria for quarantine: gory details here: [URL]https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/duration-isolation.html[/URL].
Covid-19, life, and the hobby, post 3 of x: Hydroxychloroquine
TLDR: Hydroxychloroquine, (hereafter HCQ) used *early* with Zinc, works. [URL]speakwithanmd.com[/URL] can set you up with a prophylactic dose. They may set you up with enough for treatment- I didn't ask for that. HCQ can also be ordered from [URL]insulinhub.com[/URL]. NOTE: IVERMECTIN MAY BE EVEN BETTER, especially for prophylaxis. I want to study that some more, but I'm pretty convinced.
This is controversial, because the media and the FDA have chosen to concentrate on bad studies while mostly ignoring the good.
In short: studies regarding *early* treatment (within a few days of symptom onset) of *high-risk* people (age = 65 and / or having diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity or cardiopulmonary disease) have shown good results. It suppresses viral replication before it can cause all the damage. By the time one is hospitalized due to difficulty breathing, most of the damage is done; HCQ may help calm the over-reacting immune system, but it's ability to impede viral replication is no longer useful.
HCQ must be used with Zinc supplements. Much of it's effect is due to it; s ability to get the Zinc into cells where it can prevent viral replication.
Despite the media rantings, HCQ is very safe. The media has exaggerated the dangers, plus some of the bad studies have administered HCQ in large amounts *known* to be poisonous. Some of the other bad studies have administered it to people with one foot in the grave and the other on banana peel.
This video helps clarify: [URL]https://www.c-span.org/video/?478159-1/senate-hearing-covid-19-outpatient-treatment[/URL]. Harvey Risch, starting at 20:53 until about 32:30: types of studies; safety of HCQ; correct studies re: studies regarding *early* HCQ usage. Harvey Risch explains why the studies appear contradicting: studying HCQ use on patients who have already been hospitalized with difficulty breathing show much less benefit than early treatment. The studies on early treatment of high risk patients show significant benefit.
Later in the vid, at 33:20, Dr. Fareed, who has treated many patients, discusses his experience. Earlier at 15:08 Dr. Peter McAuliffe discusses the treatments as well.
I've left out azithromycin, discussed by these doctors. To the *very small* extent that HCQ could cause heart arrythmias, azithromycin might increase that. I'm already taking HCQ as a prophylactic, and would increase the dose to treat if I had symptoms. I, personally, hesitate at adding the azithromycin if I can't get EKGs before and during treatment. But these doctors have seen litttle or no problems of that nature.
