[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bring it on. The only ones dying are old and immuno compromised people.  This will feel like a bad chest cold.  Let me develop some antibodies now, get two weeks off work, and build some tolerance before it mutates into something worse [/quote]

I suggest you read the accounts of young people who developed it in Wuhan China. It made a flu sound like a walk in the park. Bad chest cold is now how it is in some people. The 80% have mild colds may or may not be accurate.[/quote]

Here is a first person description from a healthy 25 year old. It does sound pretty much like a flu.

Well that guy probably would have been better sooner if he didn't drink the whiskey every night.  Alcohol lowers your immune system.  Funny how he got worse the day after he drank the whiskey.[/quote]

The whiskey seems to be the only thing that kept him alive! Or at least it's the only thing that gave him any relief.

Whiskey actually raises your immune system - I might need to run out and stock up! Quite a few articles about it.

Well I prefer to go with actual research findings from the NIH.  Whiskey is alcohol, period.  Alcohol has significant adverse effects to the immune system as well as the respiratory and other systems in the body.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4590612/  From the article:

[quote]Clinicians have long observed an association between excessive alcohol consumption and adverse immune-related health effects such as susceptibility to pneumonia. In recent decades, this association has been expanded to a greater likelihood of acute respiratory stress syndromes (ARDS), sepsis, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and certain cancers; a higher incidence of postoperative complications; and slower and less complete recovery from infection and physical trauma, including poor wound healing.

This issue of Alcohol Research: Current Reviews (ARCR) summarizes the evidence that alcohol disrupts immune pathways in complex and seemingly paradoxical ways. These disruptions can impair the body’s ability to defend against infection, contribute to organ damage associated with alcohol consumption, and impede recovery from tissue injury. It is our hope that a greater understanding of the specific mechanisms through which alcohol exerts its effects on the immune system may lead to development of interventions to prevent, or at least mitigate, the negative health consequences of alcohol misuse.[/quote]
