We’d all love a cure or at least a treatment. But that’s a totally different thread. What I am proposing here is a new system for managing patients in their homes or in other quarantine, that works both for COVID-19 and other chronic illnesses

I’m more in the dirt:

What I’m hoping for is an antiviral drug or chemistry correction that is possibly soon, that maybe only makes the disease much less lethal, that is cheap and oral, and that converts our worry of croaking into a typical flu season worry. Like maybe vitamin D? How do we find this miracle?

We need to exhaustively study those people who have been unequivocally exposed, some of whom have tested positive and some who have tested negative, and who have gone on to be healthy and relatively unaffected and thriving….about 80% of cases. And then we match their findings with the severely sick Covid 19 patients.

We should do every test in the book on these people including all the microbiology and clinical chemistry and immunology and hematology and precision medicine tests including total genomes and exons and epigenetic tags.

The answer to this occasional lethality has got to be right in front of us. That is all we are worried about: occasional lethality. Just think: this total unbelievable disruption of the world’s human cultures because we are worried about the death of 1-2% of the 1-2% who catch this disease: .01x.01 =.0001. This is too much cataclysm for too little insult. It is too simple a problem for too smart a society.

We need to do these tests in about a week and then have a group of smart people get in a quiet room and think for a few days. We don’t need desultory frenzy. We need thinking.
