Then why does it feel like authoritarianism when Twitter and Facebook remove all content from and lock out the President of the United States and any of his supporters?
Forget about "hiring", "secure jobs" and "paychecks": you sound like a contractor, not an employee. Either hire on with a consulting firm or open your own.
Trump made a pretty good start at getting out of the Middle East. I don't know why he didn't use his foreign policy wins as running points, but he didn't.
Yes. Or, if afoot, warriors could brace the lance (against a rock or with the foot) in the ground and direct the speartip into a charging horse. A line of lances/pikes kills or fatally wounds horses and unseats their riders.
Riders can be killed or trapped if their horse falls on them. And once on the ground a knight in armor is virtually helpless b/c he has little mobility. He could easily be killed with blows to the neck or head with a rock or tree limb. A handful of dirt stuffed into his mouth would quickly suffocate him.
then it _is_ a tool to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 b/c it could also be used prophylactically. i.e., the virus can't replicate in the human cell if the cell already has adequate chloroquin + Zn++ present.
Zinc supplements taste nasty and cause a burning sensation on damaged tissue. Zinc lozenges (e.g., Zicam cold-eze) have much lower dose of Zn++ and have sugar added. It is unclear exactly how much zinc in in Zicam. It is far lower than what is in most OTC zinc supplements.
I recommend the nasty zinc supplements: they're cheap, pack a lot of zinc and you'll know when you feel them work. One bottle of 100 tablets 50 mg Zinc gluconate costs for $7 should last you through years of pandemics. In contrast a package of 25 Zicam sugary zinc lozenges costs $15.
I usually split or even quarter a 50 mg zinc tablet - they're that bitter. Don't take too much b/c they may dull sense of smell. Some people claim to have lost their sense of smell due to zinc overdosing. I usually don't take zinc but for this pandemic I've committed to an occasional nasty disgusting fragment of a zinc tablet each day.
Best is to lie down on your back and allow the zinc lozenge or zinc pill to dissolve in your mouth slowly so you can coat the epithelial cells in the mouth, throat and nose. You could gargle with the zinc and then swallow it.
In any case, swallow the zinc b/c that will allow it to be absorbed by the stomach and intestines and then move to your bloodstream, where it can deactivate some virus (more below).
But new virus production occurs inside each cell in the cytoplasm, and little zinc normally passes through the cellular membrane.
Chloroquine and other quinine compounds apparently "punch holes" in the cellular membrane and allow Zn++ ions to flood through. Once inside the cytoplasm Zn++ halts viral replication.
Tonic water has very low levels of chloroquine/quinine but it is by no means established that the full 500 mg chloroquin/day dose used for malaria is necessary to stop covid-19. Probably less, perhaps even far less, will create enough ionic "gateways" to move Zn++ through the cells' membranes. But, in any case, this requires adequate zinc as Zn++ in your system.
And the Zn++ on your throat will inactivate most viruses that land in your throat, nose and mouth anyway.
