As an admitted non-Dr, maybe don't suggest which drugs people should be prescribed? Doubly so when you can't provide any clinical trial that proves it's efficacy for this purpose.

It is perplexing that there are a fair number of personal anecdotes like the ones Red is describing of it helping people, while at the same time studies are showing no overall benefit, and some serious risks.

Chrome on Android. It doesn't have ad blocker. It's a full page ad when I click a link for a thread

I have chrome, I rarely see adds. Install adblock pro or adblock plus. Free, Installs in seconds, no more bs.
Downside, many "news" websites dont like that function, but its easily disabled for specific sites in seconds if you wish, or I just still have internet explorer around for viewing sites that wont let you view content without ads.

I know a lot of parents that are upset schools are going to be closed in my area. The feeling is best summed up as this. They feel their kids are going to be severely hurt by the lack of going to school. They feel they have to make a decision of one of them quitting their job in order to help home school their kids or both going to work and letting their kids fall behind. I'm blessed my wife was a teacher an only recently stopped teaching after our third child. She taught all the grades my kids are in, but if she didn't have that I don't know how I would feel.

Just this week the head of the CDC, Robert Redfield, said that children should return to in-class settings in the interests of public health.
I personally feel the CDC’s position has been heavily influenced by the White House, but regardless of my subjective view that is indeed its public position.

Thanks, Duck.
I read Redfield’s statement and have been scratching my head ever since. It’s like he did a balance sheet with the ancillary benefits of mental health care, nutrition, reporting of child abuse, etc. outweighing the likely effect of spreading the virus and therefore re-opening the schools is in the best interests of public health.
IMO, the virus is the ball and Redfield’s mind is on the wind, temperature, humidity, Keep your eye on the ball, doc.

Totally get it, but everyone’s going to fall behind in life one way or the other whether it’s school, your career, getting married, or having kids. The quicker people rush to get back to normalcy the longer we are going to have to shut down/start over. Everyone just needs to hunker down and ride this out.
