The last slide is a hand sanitizer recipe. It's probably the most useful thing here.
If you can get your hands on near-pure ethanol.

#32> 95% don’t need to go to the hospital Including people who get at asymptomatically, maybe. Of people who get any symptoms, it's 15 - 20%. And even if you're not in that 15 - 20%, you may still have permanent or long lasting lung and heart damage. Stay inside; your grandparents were asked to go to war for several years, you're just being asked to spend a couple months playing video games.
Ehhh... there are more productive ways to spend your time than playing video games.
I agree we should look out for the older generation though. For me, it's my parents (boomers, who fought no wars) I worry about, my grandparents (who fought) have passed already.

#33I'd like to see more information on what to do if you are sick. Even younger people have gotten serious respiratory complications and it would be great to have information on how to care for yourself or your family short of heading to the hospital and contributing to the overwhelming of their staff.
1. Onions are good lung support. 2. Watermelon is good kidney support. This is helpful if you are experiencing bloating. 3. Hot peppers are antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and open a cell channel that helps you dump fluids. 4. Tea is an astringent. Drinking it can help reduce fluid in the lungs. 5. Spicy foods are medicinal. Some stuff that helps combat infection include: onions, garlic, hot peppers, black peppe…
> Onions are good lung support.
Out of curiosity, what in onions is good for the lungs? I know a lot of people have been talking about red onions due to their quercetin content, which in vitro works similarly to chloroquine in terms of helping cells absorb zinc.

Unfortunately, here in Brazil an old ban exists on selling ethanol, due to concerns of it causing accidents with fire and explosions. The only way for an ordinary person to acquire ethanol is in the form of - take a guess - hand sanitizers (or vehicular ethanol at gas stations, but it is inappropriate for that purpose). So currently hand sanitizers are completely out of stock and soap is the only alternative.

#36It's disingenuous to compare COVID-19 death with traffic death in Dr. Lin's presentation. Here are the facts: - The 30k U.S. traffic death count is for the ENTIRE YEAR. The 3k death in Wuhun happened in a matter of weeks(6-8 weeks). - Given that U.S.'s inaction and squandered 2 months of lead time, we could see death count to be in the order of hundreds of thousands in U.S. alone.[1] This is NOT an estimate based on…
> This is NOT an estimate based on mathematical model, this is the estimate based on clinical data so far and virus's exponential growth rate.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but an exponential growth rate is a mathematical model. We’re extrapolating the current curve into the future, that’s a model.

#38I'm looking for information for those that provide patient care to covid patients. Infection rate, best practices, transmission to family (I live with a doctor providing care to covid patients...), etc. I've seen some anecdotes and single case reports that are concerning, but anything that is data driven like this will be helpful. Also, where is non denatured ethanol readily available?
Everclear is probably your best bet. It depends on where you live. Where I live your only bet is the local Naval Exchange.

Have you any clinical evidence that any of this actually works?

Be careful with NSAIDs as they may exacerbate symptoms. [1] [1]: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/14/anti-inflammat...
Is there an authoritative source for this other than the French public health authorities? I haven't seen references to it at all in epi Twitter.
Seems you're putting twitter above a country's health authority. That seems odd. Not necessarily wrong, just odd.
