COVID-19 not novel and easy to prevent?

The first 20-ish minutes are specific to prevention and management of COVID-19.

Because credentials can matter, note that Andrew Saul is a peer among medical experts in China and elsewhere who are addressing COVID-19 as members of the 'Medical and Scientific Advisory Board, United States Intravenous Vitamin C China Epidemic Medical Support Team (2020)'.  If interested, his credentials can be further examined here.

If the Riordan Clinic sounds like a new kid on the block, its history is easy to find as well as information about the billion $ extended chair for R & D including extensive research with the IVC protocol.  Liposomal C is another treatment option and is addressed in this video.

I've mostly stayed out of COVID-19 discussions because it is not personally concerning.  I hope the information shared here will likewise alleviate others' concerns.

so no covid19 for you so far.....how's that arm doing???  We definitely could use you here at Wheaton Labs!  Did you decide on a structure type you like and make a design?

Hi Orin :.)

Very fortunate and grateful... no COVID-19 for me.  Omnivore that I am, I eat mostly alkalizing foods and keep stress low.

Arm is doing well.  After physical therapy was interrupted by COVID-19, I keep up with exercises and stretching so there's a little more improvement daily.  Bone doc said it would take about a year to be normal, but it's already close to that so no worries there.

Structure ideas... so many! ^.^  Really though, hard to discern what's best without knowing where it will be.  I'm slowly digesting "Vitruvius The Ten Books Of Architecture".  Also want to order basalt roving / mesh / rebar samples for experiments with stabilized earth.  I've held off because I didn't want to have a boat load of stuff to bring out there and nowhere to put it.  

I really like your adobe dome demo images, and personally much inclined toward that 360° arch support for a dwelling and maybe storage / critter / outbuildings as well.  Also want to try a wofati with stabilized earth using basalt mesh.

A few weeks back picked up 25lbs of clay from The Clay Studio, soaked some, then added sand and straw to pretend it was real :-)  It worked well enough, though I think working with soil straight from the ground will be more practically useful.

I noticed the poles for the fence you and Josiah are putting in are coming along... I've been wishing I was there in the thick of it all.  Not much can be done sitting on the sideline, yeah? ^.^

Specific to COVID-19 I thought it might be less worrisome for all there if I come about April 1st, and also need to allow time for the last of mail on its way here to arrive.  I drive fine but no vehicle, so the plan is for a friend to drive me out there.  However, if someone comes to Missoula for mail and errands about then give or take a day, I'll buy lunch at Mod's Pizza and pay for a tank of gas to hitch a ride back :.)  Depending on weather, not sure if I'm tenting right away or renting yet.  If not tenting, I could leave tent stuff here with a friend for now.

I'll be glad to come and get you  -my vehicle gets 44mpg as it is loaded right now and 47mpg when it isn't; three gallons of diesel will cover vehicle fuel. Its a vw passat four door sedan, not a truck: will it work for you?
I'll ask Fred/Paul if I can temporarily unload to make room for things you might want to haul here.

Pizza sounds great!

As for sleeping space, the cleaning woman, asked to sleep over in the bunk room, making the bunk room co-ed for the night. Changing into jammies in the bathroom might work to make everyone with different levels of modesty/prudishness feel comfortable(I blush easily when caught off guard). The bunk room has a bed or two available for you. The tenting option might make you feel more relaxed; so whatever works for you!

ooooh, I just looked up basalt mesh. I've been wondering how to make a double walled adobe dome for a higher R value. Basalt mesh might be a good idea for either an inner or outter layer. I had thought of making two concentric adobe domes and filling the gap will small sized lava scoria.

COVID 19 is serious for those who get the full blown version. Some seem to just get a fever and a little mental confusion (makes it hard for me to tell cause I'm hot and seem a little confused some of the time).

I guess purple moosages are a better way for this conversation or twobirdstone at gmail

In any case, hope to see you soon!
