Where you fully awake or in a dream-like state all or some of the time? I cannot imagine how torturously it has to be to be immobilized but fully conscious.

Several months ago, a guy posted who had had Covid, who still had some long-haul symptoms, but who had been seemingly cured of his IBS by contracting Covid. Do you have any comment on that? Do you think that would be permanent?

> Even if it is successful, it’s not like we have a stockpile of HIV drugs ready to go for an unexpected extra 60,000+ patients, so that probably won’t be a viable solution to this outbreak in the short term.

I’m pretty sure the pharmaceutical industry has sufficient stockpiles to easily treat an additional 100k patients. At least in high-margin medicines (which is what all patent-protected HIV drugs are), the pharmaceutical industry tends to work with a glutted supply chain, not with anything resembling a “just in time” model. There’s something on the order of 2 million HIV patients living in the US and the EU alone. Medicating an additional 5% of that number will not be an issue. At least in the short term. It would become an issue in a few months if the epidemic shuts down the API production in China for any extended period of time.

Has anyone been systematically tracking the development of the plankton biosphere (or part thereof) over the last several decades? Is there any indication of lowering numbers, rising numbers, or evolutionary adaptation in response to acidification?

And you couldn't take vitamins in any form?
