I posted this in another thread. I sure hope Covid doesn't do the same.
Congrats on your families recovery Cvh, looks like it lasted about 8 days, I'm glad it wasn't worse!

So glad to hear you and your family are feeling better!
That 1918 flu pandemic chart isn't that scary is it? Those curves are deaths from all causes, not just the flu. They are basically doing that now, because they lumpa lot of deaths in with the WuFlu deaths. The vert scale is deaths per week. There is a baseline of 10 o depending 20, then he peaks are 40 to 60. That lasted a couple months. In 1918 the cities were filthy, horse shit everywhere. Crowds. Bad sanitation. No masks (just the way foochie likes it). How did country folk fare?
Not worth shutting down the entire economy over. IMO. Sorry for those who had people die, but the way they are lying about the causes, people get hardened to the lies and BS.

Sorry...this isn't the flu, influenza.
A brief review of the historical year of 1918 when people were informed to take precaution against influenza, while their children came up with a catchy tune for the "worst epidemic the United States has ever known"1 and comparing it with the influenza of today.
Song for jump rope rhythm:
I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza,
I opened the window
In 'flu' Enza.
What is the truth behind the song mentioned above that children sing so often during those days? Ironic how the soldiers who came home from the war not only brought life, for they came back alive, but also brought what will soon become the death of so many. It all started in March of the year 1918 in which at Fort Riley located in the state of Kansas, an Army private reported symptoms such as headache, fever, as well as sore throat. It seemed like mild symptoms but by noon the count of soldiers who were ill of the same symptoms totaled up to one-hundred. Doctors everywhere were puzzled about what might be causing this illness.
What soon came to be known as the Spanish influenza came also to be known as the "worst epidemic the United States has ever known." More soldiers from the war died from this influenza than from combat on the field. One of the earliest victims of the flu came from sailors who resided on the Receiving Ship at Commonwealth Pier in Boston (August 1918) in which the situation gave the flu the advantage of eventually spreading throughout the civilian population. But of course, people were first advised that there was nothing to worry about. According to "Dr. William Hassler, Chief of San Francisco's Board of Health had gone so far as to predict that the flu would not even reach the city."
But within such urban, crowded cities such as Boston and Philadelphia, it was inevitable that this illness would turn into an epidemic.
In Philadelphia of September 1918, new cases of influenza were recorded from the civilian population days after a parade. As a result, Philadelphia was forced to admit that the city has fallen under the Spanish influenza epidemic.4 The severity of this epidemic began to become apparent and so precautions were made--any public places in which crowds of people were able to accumulate were considered "off limits.
For what it's worth, thus the need for masks:
COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
HOW IT SPREADS
It is thought to spread mainly from person to person, mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus.
The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading very easily and sustainably between people. Information from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic suggests that this virus is spreading more efficiently than influenza, but not as efficiently as measles, which is highly contagious.

Glad you guys are getting better. My neighbor told me her brother has it, Narly cough, high fever and in his late 60’s, she hasn’t been around him so she should be ok...

Interesting article:

I’m sure THC helps too along with all of the Terpenes. Almost all of them are antibiotic/antiseptic or anti-inflammatory.

cannabis to the rescue....once again.
Well, that heavy feelling on my lungs that felt like back when I was a cigarette smoker in the past is also gone now.
So, me (and also the misses and daughter) fully recovered.
No lasting permanent effects.
Our sickness and progression might just all be anecdotal, but as you can see a 100% recovery from Covid-19 is definitely possible.
Cheers and once again thank you for all the support you all have given me and my family!!!

Glad you made it through, though I wasn't worried at all since you're not in the "Flu can kill me" category. It's the same category covid deaths are coming from.
Looking forward to more awesome from your camp soon.

Just in time for growing season. Lol
I am going through this thread again, and I apologize for coming off that way. To you it wasn't a little sickness. I did not know about the dead kin when I posted. And understand, I like a few others, get blasted and sometimes post things we regret later, at least I do.
I am glad you folks pulled through.
No offense was taken.
(I know the feeling about making posts when my mind is clouded, been there done that for sure on the forum here. Stepped on a few toes myself here because of that, lol).
To answer your question which you have sent me through the feedback system.
No, we hadn't tried to only vape of the terps of flowers by using low heat. We haven't smoked or vaped anything during that whole situation. And before we were sick we smoked very little too (because of work). Maybe if we had smoked more we wouldn't had been sick, who knows.
It does sounds something interesting to try out if somebody has Covid-19 or any other lung disease.
Cheers.

Disinfectant in an IV drip works also I hear.
Cvh... How is your "wind" now? You implied that you ran, have you started again? My "wind" needs a lot of improving, but I am way out of shape.
Regarding blowing the terps off ground up flower, low temp isn't the solution. I use a Volcano, and the latest version has a heated chamber, and can still blow the hot air through. It is this pre-heating that allows the terps to be vaporized selectively, and inhaled with a whip.
Warm machine to 410*F or so.
Fill the chamber (I have been using less now, maybe 1/2 gram) and put it on the volcano.
Allow to sit about 10 seconds. Do deep breathing while waiting.
One hit with the fan on, and do a whip power hit, to as much as your lungs can take. This is where I get dizzy and my ears buzz until I recover in a few seconds.
Toss that stuff into the ABV container to air out the hot chlorophyll (I think that is what it is). Funny, but that ABV is odorless now, you could probably wave it under a cops nose. It is soaked with actives, which seem to not smell. If you wait to dump the ABV until it has cooled, you have to dig it out as the oils have gelled.
This is completely different from using the balloon, because to fill those you have to heat the material longer as the bag fills, way past the terp release point. That starts releasing vapors of plant material that make me cough and my lungs hurt. I wish some medical types would investigate this essential oil therapy, and which terps do what. Sam Skunkman sez he has a machine to analyze what is coming off. Sure wish we had an answer to this. His bubble avoids the plant material issue. I bet vaping bubble has the same effect, but at higher temps also get the actives and thicker components.
Like I keep saying, this is a lot better than symbacort 160/4.5 for me. I have also done Advair disks. I used to be able to hit the inhaler then a little while later hit the volcano balloon. Now after only doing the whip and terps, the symbacort hurts my lungs for a day or so.
Anybody want some of those inhalers, and I have a bunch still in date, send me a PM. I have been able to quit them, my LAST prescription drug. Those are expensive. I wonder how cortico-steroids affect covid lung, before infection and after.

I have a MD who will IV you all kinds of stuff, including H2O2. My haircutter swears that stuff stopped her hand arthritus, and allowed her to keep working. I nebulized a 3% solution for a while, as I was trying to kill off a fungal infection. Didn't work BTW.
IMO, these daze are not coming back anytime soon>>
Now that the globe in most areas are opening up....everyone still needs to be mindful of protecting yourself/others.
