Tell me about it. This quarantine has strengthened my Blue Bell game bigtime.

Thanks for the lay person language doctor!

So what are names of drugs to take that point us down the freeway? Do Remdesivir or Hydrochloroquine help with that?

Sort of those two drugs potentially slow viral replication. Thus keeping everything in balance and you never get any free radicals and you can stay on the freeway

Yo, doc you didn't mention that this quercitin stuff would cause paint peeling farts.

I would bet that liquor/beer distributors/sellers are probably in the top 3 "industries" benefiting from the 'rona. Not saying I'm heavily contributing to that or anything. Pure speculation.

Actually one of my patients is a liquor distributor in Dallas and he said the same thing. He said he will be getting the biggest bonus check he has ever gotten!

Thank you Dr. Coates. I was wondering if you could comment on the efficacy of Redesivir vs. HCQ. While the study the FDA based approval on does show some improvement, is it really that much? I know the study that 'disproved' HCQ was pretty weak, so I'm curious to get your opinion on the championed minor improvement that costs a thousand dollars a treatment versus the poo-pooed one that is extremely cheap.

Apparently everyone has the same idea that I do right now. Trying to find kettle bells for backyard workouts has proven impossible. One can only throw around so many feed bags and shovel so many loads of dirt into a garden.


Try looking for bands. I have the go fit bar set from academy with 30,50 and 80lb bands and a set of handles. I can do quite a bit with that.

Doc,

I say this in the most appreciative way possible, but it feals like the amount of supplements is starting to be a bit much. I'm struggling to get the older generations in the family to still distance even though they are the ones actually at risk. They'll never take this many supplements.

Is there maybe a priority here? Like zinc and the 2 inhibitors and a multivitamin?
Reveille

Zinc any dose, multivitamin should be sufficient
Quercetin 250 to 1g twice per day
CoQ 10 100 to 300 per day
Vitamin D if deficient. If level above 40 no need

I am a senior and I understand. I am trying to take all of these because I want to stay healthy if at all possible, but it is a constant chore. I take some with my morning coffee, zinc and a few others with breakfast. It is that second time a day round I will neglect. I will get busy and it will be the next morning and that second round is still sitting there. But I figured even taking the things once a day is better than never and the twice a day ones I take twice a day about 75 percent of the time.

Hey Doc,
Would you recommend the CoQ 10 even to young/healthy people?

Doc, is CoQ10 all the same? Would the Target or HEB brand work as well as others? Those seem to be more available for now, but wanted to make sure they are just as good (or at least, will still provide some benefit) as other brands. I see Ubiqiunol also, but don't know the difference.

Go to ConsumerLab.com and they give an unbiased, scientific review and test of all vitamins and such. Great source of info and I think the return on investment is worth way more than they ask.

Yes realistically any site be fine. Sone may be a little better than others but if it's coming Target it should be fine.

Ubiqunol is the reduced form of CoQ10 so it's a little better absorbed and now potent.

Doc ,

As always sage advice. When enough information becomes available, can you speak to just how contagious Covid is? Is it any more contagious than the regular flu? I think this aspect of the disease was made into a huge boogeyman that gives people additional concerns that prevent our getting back to some form of normal. I understand the lack of existing immunity is what likely shaped this factor, and hopefully the test numbers will eventually provide the statistics that can be pointed to to guide a more balanced response nationwide. Thanks

Probably not more contagious. The difference between this and the flu is nobody is immune to this. We talk about herd immunity a lot. Consider, each year about 50% of the population get the flu vaccine. Not 100% effective, but that is a significant step towards herd immunity. Plus, other people have been exposed to various flus throughout their lifetime and potentially have some residual immunity that may carry over to this years strains. Nobody has been exposed to this virus, although it is possible if you were exposed to SARS you would have some immunity. Only, almost no one in the US was exposed to SARS either.

So, even if it isn't more contagious, more people are susceptible and therefor it will spread faster and infect more people.

Great explanation as usual! I always appreciate your input and help.
