Quarantine is useful to reduce transmission, it's a technique that is proven to work. If it was airborne and was also killing 5% of people, everyone would rightfully be freaking the heck out.

Even during the black death, which killed 35% of people or so (100x worse IFR than covid), some towns survived by quarantining themselves from the rest of Europe.

Ferrara managed to prevent even a single death from the plague after the year 1576—even as neighboring communities were devastated. How did they do it? Critical in the city's success, records suggest, were border controls, sanitary laws and personal hygiene.

Quarantine is useful to reduce transmission, it's a technique that is proven to work.

Proven to work in the dark ages, where they had zero knowledge of bacterial infections, or sanitation, or nutrition.

Exercise doesn't make this particular list, as those folks could certainly show us a thing or two about daily activity.

The true unsung hero of this era is modern sanitation.

Health and nutrition are the other pillars that minimize infection/transmission.

Sanitation is the full plate armor defense.

Health and nutrition are the comfortable leather padding, for support.

Are you aware of any modern success stories of quarantines?
Certainly not "ebola". ;-)

We don't quarantine the healthy, because it actually creates many more problems than it solves.

Rather than counterproductive quarantines, local agencies should be encouraged to issue high-quality naturally produced/derived vitamins and dietary supplements (none of that synthetic trash).

Crucially vitamin C, D, magnesium, and zinc.

Improving the nutrient intake is the public would save lives and reduce transmissions, with and minimize negative impacts.

quarantine is valid. If the virus is contained, then it can die out within the now immune quarantined survivors and there's none left to spread.

But the lockdown was 6 months too late, so its already endemic. Quarantine now serves no purpose.

Also, KEY is tht covid-19 is a CNS demyelinating disease, attacking via olfactory and optic nerves, particularly targeting the brainstem.

the immune system has no action in the brain, the battle is between glial mediated remyelination, and demyelination by the coronavirus (which are used for Multiple sclerosis models).

The glial cells need a supply of:

omega-3

Zinc

Vitamin D

Those are the key factors. Vitamins A & C are just general health things, and may help with breakouts of covid once its travelled out via the nervous system, but nearly 100% of symptoms are due to demyelination, including all the risk factors.

HCQ helps the zinc transport into the glial cells, the doctors blabbering on about the lungs are barking up the wrong tree because they are not cross-discipline experts with a background in neurosciences, specifically disease models

Modern hygiene is great in theory but we still live in a world where 50% of men don't wash their hands after going to the toilet. If you solved that problem covid would be far less of a problem. I think every super spreader who has been reported on so far has been male.

Sanitation prevents the nasty non-handwashers from contracting the real killers.

Cholera, Scarlett fever, etc. The illnesses that we never hear about.

Sanitation is about more than hand washing. It's running water, water treatment, sewers, sewage treatment, etc.

Also, there's significant evidence that handwashing isn't all that significant in reducing viral transmission.

It's mostly effective in preventing the spread of bacteria.
