onlyonce Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 There is no way that 20% Tea Tree Oil prevents the spread of coronavirus, this definitely doesn't work. Stupid bullshit like this doesn't work against viruses. Have you caught the crank disease? Secondly, antibiotics do nothing against viruses so those antibiotics will do nothing against coronavirus.Maybe not 20% But seems there is some evidence for the use of Tea Tree for the effective eradication of MRSA and also when tested on certain strains of influenza yielded positive results.Seems for a science forum there is a lot of opinion and trolling.

Flu Glycoprotein(HA) inhibitor action by tea tree oil Coronavirus glycoprotein(Spike) It binds to a very specific spot to inhibit the flu, which coronavirus does not have.

As such, they may be interesting but don’t really support the claim “that 20% Tea Tree Oil applied to the Hair, ears and eyes of all people and animals in affected areas will help prevent the spread of Coronavirus. Rat fleas spread the plague and bat mites spred Coronavirus” I’m sure I can pour gasoline into a petri dish and destroy coronavirus. That doesn’t mean that dowsing myself with gasoline will prevent me from getting infected with covid-19. Also, while the original infection might have possibly have come from bat mites, there is absolutely zero evidence for that, but I am absolutely certain that the spread of this disease around the world now is happening because of human-to-human transmission and has nothing to do with bat mites. I stand by my earlier assessment that the OP was a crackpot post, although it may have been well-intended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanBreeze Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 We will all be infected anyway. With an R0 of 2.2, it should only take 3 or 4 weeks to infect over 50% of any country's population and then the herd immunity should begin to kick in. That would be the top of the bell-shaped curve. We should be almost there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth101 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 A heavy dose of Vitamin C seems to be doing the trick some have reported. I also got myself some Oil of Oregano just in case. OceanBreeze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanBreeze Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 What I usually do when the flu “comes a creeping around” is to dissolve one of those 1000 mg tablets of vitamin C in some warm water. Then I add a large spoonful of honey and a double shot of Wild Turkey, or whatever whiskey I happen to have handy. I don’t claim it does anything to fight the flu, but it sure makes me feel better!

And that usually only happens after a day of binge drinking. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those US cities that have imposed a lockdown will be a fortnight from the artificially limited peak resulting from those measures, and those areas that have not will see a far higher peak in 6-8 weeks.

I tried it and it works. I didn't get Corona and I feel good. Edited April 30, 2020 by OceanBreeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
