Nurse friend came over for tea, says it's wu flu, but she'll come back with a test tomorrow. Seems likely, because it's the same feverish chills I got from the clot booster. At least I don't have COVID and an empty window frame.
Having not seen a single episode of Joe Rogan, what industrial solvents does the motte recommended inhaling/injecting? Don't say ivermectin, because I used the last of it for deworming everyone after a wet spring.

If its Omicron just treat it like a cold.. I wouldn't have know I had omicron were it not for a test, it was quite literally like the common cold. And that seems to be the case for the majority of people/
Then, curcumin and sulforaphane. A reasonable amount of liquorice tea if you’re not taking any medicine that interacts with it, plus some potassium-rich foods as liquorice lowers potassium.
For a flu, you need steady supply of calories (unlike with infections).
Curcumin, sulforaphane, and liquorice all have real evidence to back up their use.
I'm not sure treatment for a standard case of covid is even particularly called for, unless you're old or immunosuppressed or something, in which case paxlovid, because it does works, with a verified mechanism and RCTs and everything. (vitamin d most likely doesn't, and even if it did, paxlovid is more effective than almost all of vitamin d's very wide range of alleged effects).

Ask me how the FairTax proposal works. All four Political Compass quadrants should love it.

Vitamin D 5x daily, a zinc tablet (not lozenge) after each meal, walk outside in sunlight 30 ft away from everyone 30 min per day, drink 1/2 cup tonic water (w quinine) with the zinc.
This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a
court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to
optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.
The weekly Culture War threads host the most
controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are
appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy;
if in doubt, post!

Why are you called The Motte?
A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently,
it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey",
originally identified by
philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial
but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens
this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for
the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired
propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."
On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.
New post guidelines
If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it.
A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts
such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a
submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).
Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or
significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.

Order a long string of fairy lights and swallow them to put the light inside you.
More seriously, just eat like you just had a devastating romantic breakup for a week and you'll be fine.
