Finally got the COVID after two years. Was very tired last night with a 100.4 fever, elevated heart rate, and headaches. Took IVM, quercetin, zinc, nasal/throat rinse, vitamins, budesonide. 12 hours later most of my symptoms are gone.
I'm allergic to iodine, so I use a saline nasal rinse. I also used phenol on my throat since my wife, who is a few days ahead in symptoms, developed a sore throat. Might as well use anything that kills virus. Mouthwash too.
I forgot to say that I took pepcid, too.
Fever this morning down to 99.1. Heart 70% of the way back to normal. Slight headache and body ache still.

1. This thread is about a statistical phenomenon called a Simpson's paradox and how it relates to the #Hydroxychloroquine research that gets so hotly debated.
A more complete version of this analysis will appear in my next book #TheChloroquineWars.

2. If you are unfamiliar with Simpson's paradoxes, you can read up on the basics here. However, the example I present may well teach the concept. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%2…
3. Consider three hospitals with different treatment policies. Perhaps the standard of care (SoC) is uniform, for the sake of simplicity, but the hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment policies are different.
Unfortunately, it's going to be a couple of weeks before I complete my book, #TheChloroquineWars about the strange tale of #Hydroxychloroquine politics during the pandemic. It's not an easy book to write in 10 weeks. So, as a teaser, I'm going to tweet out a full chapter now...

In 1951, Solomon Asch conducted a landmark experiment in which students were asked to match the segment on a card with one of the same length on another card, a total of 18 times.
