covid 19 and herbs ect

[Mike T]

Doesn't seem to matter whether it is a communist country or open democracy or how locked down things became. Russia has lots of covid cases compared to say New Zealand. Things were never locked down too tight here and it isn't as though there was ever a time when you could go to the bank or supermarket. By cultural I meant extended big families and crowding are hard to manage and where individual freedoms are the priority or where people are more likely to be defiant of government advice.
Countries that defy international advice and cooperation, were slow to react and had lazy double talking leadership have suffered more. A good public health system means more tests are done, they are free or cheap, hospitalisation, treatment and drugs are free or cheap and the best advice is on hand immediately makes a big difference. The every person for themselves health model doesn't go so well with pandemics.

Don't know what came over me and yes back to plants.

It happens, lol!

Fish Mint has been growing well in the shade of my rollinia tree, with no care.

Asiatic Day Flower is holding on, thought it had bit the dust.

Both supposedly contain useful antiviral agents.

Do not drink Dairy with a respiratory infection

I have cured blood poisoning a lot actually
think bicycling staying awake , and not cleaning wounds not good

Yes Garlic is good for blood (antiviral ) , but I would say Onion for Lungs is better

I feel bad not going on about this, but scary seeing people buy up all the herbs to themselves
Or imagining that like people already did with toilet paper.

Edit never heard of fish mint will look into it (I thought you just said mint (mint has vitamin A)

Houttuynia cordata = fish mint  has been very slow growing for me .I think we are to lowland hot for it to thrive maybe in winter it will pick up.

I won't do a thing, but certainly not get the vax, so many people get severe side effects or die. Please do get informed and read both sides. Other than that I didn't know that the fish plant helps with viruses. It wants plenty of water and shade and is nearly a weed.

Go elsewhere with your antivax crap. Vaccines save lives. Inform yourself with valid and reliable information.

And, this is a tropical fruit forum.

...but since you brought it up, received 1st shot of Pfizer vaccine earlier this week and feeling fine. Several friends in healthcare have as well, in addition to my parents and many others I personally know. All are doing well and happy to be protected. Moving towards a more normal life.

I know people who have died of COVID-19, and their friends and family who are still suffering and grieving. I know of no one who has been harmed by the vaccine. More importantly, the data and scientific knowledge on this goes well beyond my anecdotal evidence.
