I wonder on antibiotics, and whether they impact COVID-19. Now, I am only wondering -- throwing out a question to be considered -- not asserting that this is true.
But, what if part of the reason the elderly are succumbing more, is that they are more likely to have had surgeries? Now, when you get a surgery, you get treated with an antibiotic. So, we notice that a disproportional number of people seem to be dying in nursing homes? Antibiotics and pain-killers abound in nursing homes.
Utah suffered its fourth coronavirus death yesteday. I noticed the lady had a surgery two years ago. Two years might not be enough time to rebuild your immune system.
It was announced that social distancing efforts in Utah seem to be working. Officials pointed out that only one in ten of those contacting the disease contacted it from community spread. The rest were from out-of-state or had had contact with those from areas apart.
I do wonder, though. One of the foremost screening questions -- I believe -- before you can be tested, is whether you have had contact with someone from abroad. If you only test those who have had contact with those from abroad, you are only going to find those who have had contact with those from abroad. If you aren't even testing those who might be from community spread, you aren't going to find them. So, of course you don't find them in your count.
How much is the weather impacting those nations that have had success fighting COVID-19? India, South Korea, Taiwan? Have they had warmer weather, all along? Some of us -- like me -- have wondered if it is the masks making the difference. But, is it more the weather?
