1. What is one news story we are all missing right now because it gets overshadowed by Corona Virus news?
I think locally it is the drastic drop in oil prices, which is supposed to last for months and its effect on the local fracking industry which is very challenged, cost/expense wise, when oil is under $42.00 a barrel. I am not necessarily pro-fracking but it is a big part of the Colorado economy.
2. What is the sickest you have ever been? Has it put you in hospital?
27-years old and a bad case of the chickenpox. Including what is called chickenpox pneumonia as the pox appears on the insides of the lungs.
3. What is your favorite holistic cure for common cold strains?
Wash your hands. Take oregano oil capsules and astragalus supreme. I generally don’t get colds or other viral sicknesses.
4. The coronavirus has started the largest work from home experiment in the US. What has your experience been like so far?
I haven’t started working from home yet, but based on past experiences, I don’t do well. And the plan for the CV flu deployment will be for me to be an on phone rep. working from home, which is really annoying as I haven’t been that kind of employee for nearly 20 years.
5.Are you scared/worried about getting the coronavirus?
Moderately. I fit many of the sick pron demographics, I work in a densely populated office tower and until recently used public transportation to get to work (I wimped out this week and have been driving it.)
1. The markets are behaving strangely. Bond yields are dropping instead of increasing. Gold dropped in price. Bitcoin tanked. This has really tapped into an existential fear.
2. I had a secondary infection and a pneumothorax following a surgery. My immune system was seriously compromised and I was in the hospital for a week reinflating my lung and battling the infection.
3. Sambucus elderberry extract. It seems to help me.
4. I’m lousy at working from home, as I’ve proven over the last ten years.
5. I’m scared of getting sick, of course. My mind is also reeling about what’s happening to the economy. Mass layoffs will begin sooner than later.
1) The various criminal activities of the White House appointees to disassemble the fabric of our society one non rich person support system at a time.
2) Had my appendix out not nearly as bad as the flu I got in ‘07, I layer in the bathroom floor for three days and had a friend come start an IV on me day two so I could hydrate. That was hell on earth.
3) Wash everything well, change toothbrush, eat a big bowl of Taki’s miso ginger soup. When they went outta business the bagel deli’s homemade chicken noodle.
4) Ah be for you but as a health care worker I shall be in the hospital taking care of people.
5) Not really but I certainly don’t want to be a carrier to others, so if I test positive then I’m quarantining the shit outta myself.
