For me when I start to get upper respiratory bronchitis I'd take a hot steamy shower and take deep breathes then blow them into my balled-up first so that it created backpressure. It helped tremendously to clear up my lungs. No idea if it'll work with COVID but I got the idea from the little plastic thing with the ball in it they give you to blow for pneumonia. Same principle.

I was told to do this by a doctor if I or anyone I knew had the virus...

Dude, you mean this thing?
That's an incentive spirometer. They are used for inhaling to increase lung volume and decrease atelectasis (areas of your lung that aren't inflated).

If you want to increase "back pressure" as you put it; purse your lips as you exhale like blowing out a candle.

It's named TheOhioOutdoors.com and it's a strange strange place.

So for giggles I went to get the blood draw antibody test today. In my conversation with the lady at Compunet, she said they did 22k of them last week in Ohio. I asked what the positive rate was and she said they never see results but it's reported to the Ohio department of health as a positive and that's largely why we're seeing case rates spike. Which is fascinating to me. So if I got this back in March but just now got tested it's included in the positive results today. Talk about junk data.
How else would they count it? Results came today, not back in March. Maybe track it in another way, but in the end, it’s all the same. XYZ amount of people had it already=closer to goal of herd immunity

It should be counted separate from the daily report of sick people testing positive. If results from March are included in today's numbers then we lose the ability to understand growth and tell if an infection is actively spreading and at what rate. There's a data usability difference between active positive and past positive.
Totally agree. Count it separately as an antibody positive. Cant be using that to make “lockdown” decisions for June. Or maybe they should, in terms of being able to open up. But definitely shouldn’t be an active positive.
You still believe they don’t understand this? I find that cute. DNR has a job to balance the herd...everything on this planet is balanced on this way of thinking and human interaction with nature. To not give this a glimpse of thought in a dark corner for humans seems silly. They don’t want to kill everyone, just the weak. In this process they will have some healthy ones go down.
By killing off a generation. They gain financially by no longer supporting those who built the world we live in (elders). They also shut down the voice of our elders from spreading belief into the sheep (today’s youth). By doing all this, the world leaders create their own laws and rules for the future. Total control
Fire away, shoots holes in my theory. I’ve been thinking this for a while and said I wouldn’t get into it. Yet...here we are.
Money and power is what this is about. They have proved long before this got out of control that they could save you with a medication that already exist for $0.60 a pill. Think about that...how many pills could my tax money of got me and my family? But no, let’s just keep sending money to people. That’ll shut them up.
$1,200\ 0.60=2,000 pills
2,000\365 (days)=5.48 years
5.5 years my $1,200 tax advance would’ve kept me safe and the economy still running. Someone, anyone feel free to jump in and shut me up! Mic drop,

So I called the DOH Covid line and spoke to a really knowledgable individual. He confirmed that the case data on the Ohio COVID dashboard is ONLY active infections and does not include antibody tets. He has not personally seen an official state-reported antibody-positive dataset and was unsure where that data is being reported. Yet when I filled out the paperwork at Compunet it included a statement that data was required to be shared with the state DOH.

I wouldn't put the desire to cull a population past any country. Especially if it was "naturally" occurring. Years ago there was a study from the 60s that was declassified from the federal government that spoke of population control mechanisms back then. I remember reading it back in the early 2000s and it specifically spoke of disease treatments, medical advances, and other things increasing the population beyond a reasonable growth trend.
Found it.. The Kissinger report.

Interesting data for the US.
Since April 13th despite daily testing increasing from 158K to 303K per day the positive case rate has dropped from 30k to 25K. per day.
