Considering how rapidly we are told CV is spreading and how the infections and deaths are exploding, I am wondering:

Does anyone here actually know a single person or people with CV, alive or, +RIP+, dead?  I am just wondering because I do not, nor have I seen posts on CI or FB, etc., discussing cases involving people known to the one who is posting, commenting, etc.

For clarity: I know that it has been reported that Tom Hanks, for example, has or had CV.  I know who Hanks is, of course, but I do not know him personally.  I know of no one with whom I have crossed paths in my four-plus decades on earth who has CV.  I am a fairly well-traveled, experienced and socially-active person, yet...zero.  Perhaps that will change, even incalculably, before all is said and done, but, as of now...zero.

I'd love to hear testimony to the contrary.  Thank you.

A 44-year-old in this area just died from CV. I didn't know him, but one of the moms in our homeschool group did. Her husband and he played basketball together.

but I would personally make some cayenne pepper-spiked homemade lemonade and drink copious quantities. It kicks a** against a lot of little troublemakers in your system. Water, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, honey/maple syrup and as much cayenne powder as you can comfortably stand...all you need. I am no doctor, to be sure, but it will definitely not harm you.

If it's true,one of the symptoms is loss of smell and taste. That is also a symptom of zinc deficiency. it would make sense to take zinc considering the mineral is supposed to stop viral replication. Zinc is potentiated by Vit C as well.
Re: the cytokine storm,  an immune modulator like Vit D sounds like a good idea. Keeping Vit D blood levels between 50-80 is great. the best way to get Vit D is exposing skin to sun for 15 minutes which naturally produces 25.000 iu's. I don't get a lot of sun, but I supplement with 8.000iu's a day but it is important to get a Vit D level if you can.
I think I've mentioned this before, but there is a direct correlation between a recent history of a vaping lung disease caused by black market products of nicotine or THC which are prevalent. It seems that the oil used in the product is causing the "ground glass" fluid filled chest xrays. Whether this is an isolated symptom of vaping, or it is somehow compounded by the virus, or the vaping oils are contaminated with it, young people vaping  were getting sick with this phenomenon for over 5 months in the US. before the onset of coronavirus.

Loss of smell occurs with the common cold and other viral infections of the nose and throat. Anecdotal reports suggest the loss of smell may be one of the first symptoms of COVID-19. Doctors around the world are reporting that up to 70% of patients who test positive for the coronavirus disease COVID-19 — even those without fever, cough or other typical symptoms of the disease — are experiencing anosmia, a loss of smell, or ageusia, a loss of taste. A new study just published found that 20 of 59 patients (ages 50-74) interviewed in Italy reported a smell or taste loss.
