What may have set up today's post was my telling a reader the other day that a neighbor in the
apartment building where I live locked himself out of his apartment, again, and
had a loud meltdown, again, which led to my getting onto him, again, and trying
get him to do what I got him to do the last time, which was to get a couple of
able-bodied male bystanders to give him a leg up onto a vent cover, from which
he could climb onto the roof of a lower part of the building, and from there use a ladder or chair to reach his
rear unlocked window and climb through it. He didn't seem interested and
left the building. I called 911 and was told help with that sort of thing is
not available. I called after-hours building services and they said the cost
was $40 and I said come fix it, I will pay for it to have peace. Soon, the
resident handyman showed up and jimmied the door handle somehow and opened the
door and said no charge just for that, as my neighbor came in through the rear
window. The handyman promised to disable the door handle lock. Outside were two
police cruisers with blue lights flashing. Three officers came into the front
lobby not wearing face masks. I asked if they were there about a man on the
roof? Yes. I explained what you just read and said no crime was committed. They
said, Ok. I said I had called 911 and they declined. Didn't fire departments
get cats out of trees? Not anymore, one officer said. They spoke with my
neighbor and turned to leave. I said I had a question? What? Is the city mask
ordinance still in effect? In public places, one officer said. The next day the
handyman disabled the door handle lock, leaving the dead bolt and inside
chain lock to secure the apartment. With hands folded in prayer and bowing my
head, I said, "Thank you, Lord (3 times); Thank you, Jesus, (3
times). Thank you, Handyman (3 times)."
The reader wrote yesterday:
R: City extended mask ordinance to July 3.
Me: Call 911 to my location, I'm walking sidewalk without mask.
R: If you are 6' away from another person and can maintain that
distance you are in compliance.
Me: Not possible with unmasked passersby.
Checked out Trader
Joe's today. Line waiting to get in, limit 40 customers at a time, face masks
worn by employees but not by all customers. I told the guy in charge that makes
no sense. He said they can’t require customers to wear face masks. I thought he
was full of shit and didn’t want to piss off customers who didn’t give a shit
about catching and transmitting C-19.
I forgot my mask
when I went out to walk and now I have it. Going to Laundry and people in there
not wearing masks. Can I buy a gun and shoot them in self-defense? 77, with
several medical conditions and history of respiratory infections, including
pneumonia, and no doctor willing to prescribe hydroxychloroquine, I have zinc,
I think I can make out a strong self-defense.
But Jesus did my
mask get sweaty in the laundry, forcing me outside to sit on sidewalk bench in
breeze. 90-degree days will be super fun.
R: Under the law, the store can require masks if social distancing is
impossible since the store is in city limits.
Me: Am pretty sure any business can refuse customers not wearing masks
at this time in history, regardless of government and Trump.
R: And so are you going to try to get the CV-19 so you can get some
HDC to mix with your zinc? I just have to believe that with 110K dead and if
the cocktail truly worked the word would be out there and publicly touted in
the medical world. I think it is absurd that it is all a conspiracy of big
pharma, and thought a sound mind like yours (though sometimes hidden) would not
have fallen into that trap. Unless of course you are just playing a game with
some folks' head for the fun of it.
Me: I’m googling gun shops as we speak. Unfortunately, zinc and hdc
will cure C-19 not yet progressed to ICU stage, and it did distress me that a good friend has had access to hdc somehow, and gave her stash of it to
two people with C-19, and she knows I probably die if I catch it, and her too,
did not offer to help be get hdc. I hope you don’t catch it and are
at the mercy of your thinking and a retarded doctor.
R: You know, I sincerely hope you said that in jest about
someone who has stood by your side in full support through thick and thin for
many years.
Me: Dead serious, except for buying a gun- that was in jest. Dr.
Zelenko developed the cure. Doctors more interested in saving patients than
standard practices are using hdc and zinc. A Key West friend emailed the other
day a study that reported less ill C-19 patients responded to hdc and zinc, and
sicker patients did not. I worry you will catch it and die. I worry I
will catch it and die because I could not get a doctor to prescribe hdc. I
worry how I will feel about my good friend if it catch it? She helped other friends but not me?
R: That wasn’t the part I was questioning. It was the personal barb
at the end of your text?
Me: Re: C-19, you seem at the mercy of your thinking and traditional
medicine. Will send you the study. Lancet withdrew its slam of hdc. I
published that article a few days ago.
R: I have read it all. Both in your postings and elsewhere.
Don’t disagree with the science since I am not a scientist, just wish there
were more public info in both sides. As for my thinking, I want vaccines and
cures and don’t give a shot where it comes from and don’t believe there is some
secret agenda holding up the introduction of either.
Me:
If you or I catch
C-19 before then, we probably die horribly, and that’s where I’m coming from. I
didn’t take great alarm at the swipe you took at me 😉, except fear you catch the shit and die without HDC and zinc
treatment in early going.
The study:
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin plus
zinc vs hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin alone: outcomes in hospitalized
COVID-19 patients

Abstract
Background: COVID-19 has rapidly
emerged as a pandemic infection that has caused significant mortality and
economic losses. Potential therapies and means of prophylaxis against COVID-19
are urgently needed to combat this novel infection. As a result of in vitro
evidence suggesting zinc sulfate may be efficacious against COVID-19, our
hospitals began using zinc sulfate as add-on therapy to hydroxychloroquine and
azithromycin. We performed a retrospective observational study to compare
hospital outcomes among patients who received hydroxychloroquine and
azithromycin plus zinc versus hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin alone.
Methods: Data was collected from electronic medical records for all patients
being treated with admission dates ranging from March 2, 2020 through April 5,
2020. Initial clinical characteristics on presentation, medications given
during the hospitalization, and hospital outcomes were recorded. Patients in
the study were excluded if they were treated with other investigational
medications. Results: The addition of zinc sulfate did not impact the
length of hospitalization, duration of ventilation, or ICU duration. In
univariate analyses, zinc sulfate increased the frequency of patients being
discharged home, and decreased the need for ventilation, admission to the ICU,
and mortality or transfer to hospice for patients who were never admitted to
the ICU. After adjusting for the time at which zinc sulfate was added to our
protocol, an increased frequency of being discharged home (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12-2.09)
reduction in mortality or transfer to hospice remained significant (OR 0.449,
95% CI 0.271-0.744). Conclusion: This study provides the first in vivo evidence
that zinc sulfate in combination with hydroxychloroquine may play a role in
therapeutic management for COVID-19.
Me: I wonder how peer review will treat the study I emailed you, which
supports Dr. Zelenko's treatment protocol?
