Enjoy a Great Weekend in the Mountains! Remember...Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant!

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/06/2020 08:32 AM
Arnold, CA...Yes, we all know Covid-19 fever is quite literally spreading in certain parts of the globe and in the US. A sneeze can spread a virus up to 6 feet. So what to do? Well you can pray the bug doesn't find you and self isolate at home and peer out at the world through one of your screens. Or you can head out into the great outdoors, keep a safe distance from all those pesky human petri dishes and naturally boost your immune system with fresh air, sunshine & ski, ride, walk, golf or play with us. All of our counties have less than 20 people per square mile. Your can help keep our local small businesses humming along as well. Put the old adage of "Sunlight is the best Disinfectant" and UV to a practical & fun use! Calaveras, Tuolumne, Amador & Alpine counties all have less than 20 people per square mile! :)

How Blood Plasma from Recovered Patients Could Help Treat the New Coronavirus

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/05/2020 01:39 PM
Boston, MA...Today STAT news published an article by By MATTHEW HERPER @matthewherper and ADAM FEUERSTEIN @adamfeuerstein. We thought we would pass it along as all of the news seems to be hysteria on spread rather than on treatments that might be possible in the short term. When it comes to creating treatments for Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, the first line of defense may be a century-old technology: purified blood plasma. Medical literature published during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 includes case reports describing how transfusions of blood products obtained from survivors may have contributed to a 50% reduction in death among severely ill patients.
