Key summary of this report:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, zinc sulfate, and massive amounts of vitamin C taken intravenously should reduce your chance of death by about 50% and any hospital stays should be reduced by 50% as well. (Freeing up ventilators.) This treatment should be begun within 5 days of getting coronavirus symptoms.<\/li>\n
  2. Wearing any type of mask should reduce the chance of transmitting the virus by 50%. You can reuse a mask by placing it in an oven at 170\u2109\/77\u2103 for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. Taking 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D should reduce your chance of infection by 50%.<\/li>\n
  4. Social distancing should reduce the rate of infection by 50%.<\/li>\n
  5. Ventilators are being overhyped by the media and you should take steps to avoid being put on them since they are associated with up to 80% death rates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Following these four recommendations should improve everyone\u2019s chances by a factor of 16 and get this pandemic under control. (All percentages are approximate, of course.) Such recommendations would bring the end to our extreme quarantines.<\/p>\n

    VENTILATORS
    Ventilators can be shared in an emergency by 2 to 8 patients each. Simply sharing with 2 people plus following our four recommendations will increase the overall ventilator supply by a factor of 32.

    Patients are experiencing death rates as high as 80% on ventilators as discussed at https:\/\/time.com\/5818547\/ventilators-coronavirus<\/a>. (50% is the best death rate being recorded anywhere.) <\/p>\n

    It is estimated that only 20\u201330% of coronavirus patients who are having problems breathing have the typical Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) that calls for a ventilator. A CT scan will help identify such patients. Learn more at https:\/\/www.esicm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/684_author-proof.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    We recommend that the following be tried before a ventilator:<\/p>\n
