we could have taken drastic measures to lock down the elderly and the weak, but we decided not to.

now, they must die to save the young.

that is all.

....don't complain that you're overwhelmed and whine to the state, as though the premier can snap his fingers and undo it.

lockdowns don't work unless they're targeted, and nobody wants to do what needs to be done. it's a waste of time.

so, let the losers die to clear up space for the young.

you want to talk about winners and losers?

some people are going to make stupid choices, and end up losing against the virus. and, they were too weak to survive - they lost. so be it.

people aren't immortal, and viruses will kill a large percentage of us, in the end.

you have to pay taxes, too.

"but, who decides?"

doctors.

it's their job.

a big part of the problem right now is that doctors are doing too much to save people that can't be saved, or aren't worth saving, and they need to realize that and redirect the resources to younger people that don't have the virus and are worth saving.

doctors are going to need to start making better choices: they don't have the resources to just put every hopeless geriatric off the street on life support for six weeks at a time, and let their family support concession sales while they cry in the lobby. they're going to have to start making smarter choices about who gets on the system and who is correctly written off as hopeless from the start.

.....and, they're going to need to pull their heads out of their asses and realize that that is their fucking job.

the solution is prevention - and it needs to be both targeted towards the weak and severe in extent or it won't work.

you're going to tell me there's no room for a young mother to get a high-probability mastectomy because the bed is being occupied by a 93 year-old alzheimer's patient on life support that no longer recognizes her husband?

no.

take the old bird off life support and give the young woman the mastectomy.

covid should be at the bottom of the list, not at the top of it.

if you're high risk and you're out walking around - like i see all the time - then you basically deserve what you get.

i have no sympathy for you - stay in, you fucking retards.

don't tell other people what to do, or expect everybody else to adjust to your weak immune system.

and, let's get our priorities straight - let's prioritize cancer patients, not covid patients.

so, let the elderly covid patients die and prioritize access to normal surgeries.

meanwhile, prioritize ensuring that people that are in high risk categories take responsibility for their own behaviour in reducing their chances of contagion.

what they did is just a pr gloss - it won't make any difference, unless it's accompanied by steps that are actually meaningful, which have to do with dramatically targeting and severely restricting the movement and social interaction of the elderly. and, if you do it right, transmission amongst healthy people won't matter.

the virus will not be suppressed - doctors such as this will need to triage. and, they'll need to deal with that. bitching and complaining and moaning and whining about it doesn't change the reality in front of them.

you'll tell me he's a loser, right?

you have no fucking soul, and i'd rather be dead than live in your world, anyways.

no.

i'm not going to wear a mask.

fuck off.

....no, i like my frank's, dammit. 

i can give up the mustard, though.

hey, frank - send me free shit.

(i'm going to get a pink suit in the mail from that fucking filthy pervert, now, too)

so, i put just a teaspoon of yellow mustard in and you can notice it and i think i do want it. is there any nutritional value, though?

so, i looked up the ingredients of mustard, and i had no idea - turmeric, paprika...

am i better off with my own spice mix, given that i'm using it in a dressing like this? what if i get mustard powder, tumeric powder & paprika powder, instead? i'm getting enough vinegar from the frank's, surely....and i get the original, so it's a high cayenne content & full of carotenoids, too.

surely, the nutritional value of the mustard ingredients would be higher in dry powder, right?

.....and, it turns out that mustard powder is a pretty potent source of some b & some minerals, as is turmeric, which also has the funny curcumin, which we can't absorb, but why not try? & paprika is great for the obscure carotenoids....

what am i getting from prepared mustard? the self site says basically nothing.

so, that sounds like a good idea - let's put the spices in fresh, instead of the prepared mustard. then...

- fortified vanilla soy 

- frank's red hot (or dried cayenne pepper + vinegar?)

- fortified probiotic yogurt

- high retinol cheddar cheese

- i'm currently using garlic salt, but will move to celery salt when i run out

- ground pepper

- nutritional yeast 

- sunflower & hemp seeds

- chopped fresh lime

- just a spoonful of pasta water

+ chopped garlic, anchovies, some kind of olives, soy bacon bits, fresh oregano, mustard powder, paprika powder, turmeric & maybe other spices

that's on top of

- fortified pasta

- carrots

- beets

- red peppers

likewise, i'm just not getting useful data around queuine. we seem to need it, but we don't have any good idea how much. nor are we sure if we produce it in our guts from the bacteria that live in there, or not.

if you're looking for sources, milk and whole wheat products are amongst the highest. tomatoes are also a potential source.

i have little else useful to add.

here's a link:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4425180/

but, i'm going to summarize the pseudo-vitamins that i've left out, and the reasons why:

1) paba - was called a vitamin and labelled b10 when it's function was found in bacteria, but it has no known use in animals. i get some from yeast.

2) pangamic acid & dmg - despite much confusing literature on the topic attempting to write this off, pangamic acid & dmg are related to betaine & choline, both of which are now treated as vitamins. i've measured both betaine and choline and forgotten about pangamic acid & dmg.

3) glutathione - very important, but cannot be absorbed from diet. get glycine, cysteine & glutamine, instead.

4) lipoic acid. important, but cannot be absorbed from food. is synthesized from saturated fat.

5) coq10 - very important, but cannot be absorbed or consumed in useful quantities. get lots of phenylalanine, lots of b5 & lots of b6 and let your body generate it, instead.

....as well as a few i'm looking at potentially updating, eventually:

1) k2 - can i find a good source regarding content?

2) pqq - we seem to need some of this, but the data is just too scarce to measure it. it seems to exist in most plants, and especially in green ones.

3) queuine - again, there's just no data. try milk, whole wheat & tomatoes.

....& i am going to follow through with the salicylates, because it seems to be useful in keeping blood thin, and that's particularly useful to me, as a heavy estrogen consumer. that is the last of these for now, before i jump to the minerals.

here's the update:

disclaimer:

i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

specific brands used:

- natur-a vanilla soy milk (light)

- chapman's premium black cherry ice cream

- yoplait source cherry yogurt

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- kellogg's vector cereal

- kellogg's all bran original cereal

- black diamond brand medium cheddar cheese

- selection brand pasta [metro/food basics]

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- frank's red hot sauce

- natur-a vanilla soy milk (regular)

- astro biobest plain probiotic yogurt 

- black diamond brand medium cheddar cheese

- irrestibles brand olive canola oil [metro/food basics]

- dempster's whole grain double flax bread

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- natur-a chocolate soy milk

- no specific brand or type of coffee

diet options:

daily:

epa - laver seaweed (also good for b5, e, c, b7 but only if a lot - check availability and price as a potential avocado sub)

epa - wakame seaweed (potentially good as a simple addition)

 2 ) pasta salad bowl:

- one tbsp of imitation bacon bits (isoflavones, maybe)

- olives?

- oregano & pepper (probably for phytonutrients)

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

- sunflower seeds (raw, hulled) (1 tbsp) <---for b5, mostly, but other things too

- pro-biotic yogurt (2 tbsp)   <------b5, mostly

- 1-2 tsp of yellow mustard [experiment]

- 25-30 ml of frank's red hot sauce (original) [experiment]

- 200 ml of soy milk

- a dash of celery salt [experiment]

- a healthy amount of black pepper [experiment]

- dha + epa: anchovy paste (or fillets? or sardines, even? farmed salmon? not tuna. check cost, etc.) & 

- epa - laver, maybe. wakame, maybe. check cost & availability.

- garlic clove (allicin)

- spoonfol of pasta water

- broccoli?

3) eggs:
- salami (45 g) (25% b1, 12% b3, 5% b5, 11.5% b6, 0% b9, 20% b12)

- rice (100 g) (60% b1, 35% b3, 4% b5, 6% b6, 69% b9)

- soy meat () <----only choice, really

- orange juice (1 cup) (15% b1, 4% b2, 5% b3, 5% b5, 5% b6, 19% b9, 207% c, added e?)

- grapefruit juice is high in inositol

- cranberry juice (unsweetened. need added c, has e)

- tomato juice

need: 6% b1, 75% b3, 45% b4, 65% b5, 15% b6, 25% b8, 55% b9, 60% b12, 10% k
