What To Do If You Get COVID-19
NPR's Scott Simon speaks to Hala Sabry, an emergency doctor in Seattle, about how to take care of yourself when sick with COVID-19

My apologies. I honestly thought you were kidding around, because as far as I know, the study was using lipopeptides which aren't addictive, as far as I am aware. There was little information supplied, however.WTF? I am not kidding man
are you laughing at my research..... why you little
Event Specific Interventions to Minimise COVID-19 Transmission
Interventions that increase distancing are effective.
If you must be in large groups, try to only stick with your "social bubble".
Reducing transmission rates (such as with masks), social distancing (reducing the number of people in contact), or bubbling (keeping contact groups small and consistent) help.
Treatment - Remdesivir Ineffective
The trial shows remdesivir has "no meaningful effect on mortality or on other important outcomes for patients."
Covid-19: Remdesivir has little or no impact on survival, WHO trial shows
The largest trial to date of treatments repurposed for use in the covid-19 pandemic has shown that none of the four drugs studied produced any measurable benefit in mortality or disease course. This includes remdesivir—a drug already recommended by several guidelines and pre-ordered by numerous...www.bmj.com
In hospitalized adults with COVID-19, remdesivir probably results in little to no mortality difference but probably improves the percentage recovered and reduces serious harms and may result in a small reduction in the proportion receiving ventilation. For patients not receiving ventilation, a 5-day course may provide greater benefits and fewer harms with lower drug costs than a 10-day course.

Treatment - Bamlanivimab
Bamlanivimab is a monoclonal antibody that is specifically directed against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, designed to block the virus’ attachment and entry into human cells.
Clinical Summary
Low Humidity (<40%) Associated with Spreading
Air humidity influences the spread of corona viruses indoors in three different ways: (a) the behaviour of microorganisms within the virus droplets, (b) the survival or inactivation of the virus on the surfaces, and (c) the role of dry indoor air in the airborne transmission of viruses. Although, low humidity causes the droplets containing viruses to dry out more quickly, the survivability of the viruses still seems to remain high. The team concludes that other processes are more important for infection: "If the relative humidity of indoor air is below 40 percent, the particles emitted by infected people absorb less water, remain lighter, fly further through the room and are more likely to be inhaled by healthy people. In addition, dry air also makes the mucous membranes in our noses dry and more permeable to viruses,"
Okay, i know it's hard to tell when i am kidding around and when i am serious
i just read that many people get addicted to nasal spray after an cold or flu...... they open up the nose alright, but if you use these sprays too long, the nasal passage gets damaged , and you have to keep using the spray, because you will have that stuffy feeling all the time.
But perhaps these spray against covid are something completely different.
but again, the nasal passage is not something you should mess with too much. it's very sensitive.
Nasal Spray Addiction: Withdrawal, Side Effects, and More
You are correct in that some nasal sprays are harmful with longterm use. But these aren't the sprays they're using to washout/kill the virus.Okay, i know it's hard to tell when i am kidding around and when i am serious

Nasal Spray Addiction: Withdrawal, Side Effects, and More
Also, the mode of delivery isn't what makes it addictive/harmful (true also for oral meds and intravenous meds). Rather, it's the active ingredient in the spray that determines the impact on the nasal mucosa.
Anyhow, once again, my apologies for my misunderstanding.
