Just flew with a guy who did one leg with an asymptotic individual who tested positive 2 days later. Both masked up the whole flight. The guy I flew with got sick one day after being told he flew with someone who tested positive. Masks in the cockpit do nothing with the long exposure time.

So both guys noses and mouths were covered? Based on my observations, those masks come down at some point even if it isn't long.

When you sit 4 feet away from another person for 1+ hours then no mitigation efforts will stop you from getting infected if the other person is carrying the virus. Proximity and exposure time is the key factor when enclosed for long durations (CDC says >15 minutes)... masks or no mask.

Here’s my last line of defense. I use this at home to prevent bringing something home and giving it to the fam as an asymptomatic spreader. I use it when out of the house in addition to wearing a mask, and I use it on the flight deck when a mask is impractical to minimize the risk of catching something. My favorite scientist Tweeted this out on 30 September.

For the record, I am 55 yrs old, normal weight for my height w/A+ blood type. I take 5000 IU D3, 1000 mg of Liposomal Vitamin C 2x/day, 100% of recommended daily allowance of Zinc, Drink lots of green tea because it’s a zinc ionophore, a low dose aspirin, and 5-10 mg of Melatonin at night. I do this based on my best friend from high school who specialized in internal medicine and from watching Dr. Rhonda Patrick PhD’s Covid Q&A sessions she did back in March and April on her foundmyfitness.com site. She then went on Joe Rogan in May and explained it at Joe’s level in the first 90 minutes of a three hour podcast.

I don't know for sure, but Melatonin really screws me up the day after taking it. I have nightmares every time I take it, and I'm so tired the next day. Do you have any side effects?

I get lots of quercetin from my green smoothie with the apple peel.

I’ve seen various recommendations for melatonin from 0.1-10.0 mg / day. I believe Dr Rhonda in her Covid Q&A #1 said to play with the dosage to find what works. Take what you can without being groggy the next day. I have no side effects but I know people who say it gives them weird dreams or makes them tired the next day. My Fitbit sleep data looks good. Average about 7.5 hours per night, 1 hour to 1.25 of deep and same amount of REM, I just have more awake time (@ 1 hour/ night) than I’d like to see

Tend to agree, mask is pretty unlikely to save you if your crewmate is infectious. Might possibly reduce the dose you get, and lessen severity... that's anecdotal, not proven to my knowledge but certainly logical.

It's still too distracting and irritating for me (in addition to fogging my glasses unless I concentrate on breathing slowly).

Im absolutely convinced Seneca Pilot and Senecacaptain are the same user, but the owner is bi-polar.

Anyhow, Seneca Pilot has been on my ignore list weeks ago. I do, however, enjoy his alter-ego “Senecacaptain” who doesn’t appear
to be a gigantic Delta Bravo.
