Do you recall back in April an Alaska state senator who argued with employees at Juneau International Airport got put on the no-fly list by Alaska Airlines until January, 2022, the length of time that the national mask mandate is in place? That same person, Lora Reinbold just contracted COVID-19 and of course is still arrogant.
“It’s my turn to battle Covid head on… game on!” Ms. Reinbold wrote on Tuesday. “Who do you think is going to win? When I defeat it, I will tell you my recipe.”
The recipe she’s come up with so far is vapo-rub, garlic, ivermectin, something called “the magic sock treatment” and a vibrator. Hand to God, a vibrator. You can’t make this stuff up.
Vibrators can loosen chest congestion. Wow, why bother giving people oxygen when you can give them a vibrator? Then when they’re feeling a little better, they’ll have something to play with, too. This gal has thought of everything.
And of course you get the clear impression from this Facebook post that she’s treating this as the common cold, basically, maybe a trifle worse. Okay. I guess she screens herself off from reading, literally, the last words of people dying from COVID, where they describe how awful it is.
l don’t wish this woman any harm, but she’s following a clear pattern that leads to doom: 1. She refused to take precautions by masking; 2. She refused to get vaccinated; 3. Now she’s got COVID; 4. She might die. Or, she might end up being one of the “long haulers” who never really get over the virus and become disabled from it.
You can’t tell these people. COVID-19 is a tragic disease, not just because of how deadly it is, but because of how people just don’t believe it can kill them. Until it does.
Man, if she had been vaccinated she’d been free to use that vibrator on herself as the good Lord had intended.

Her #4 is a bit confusing. Exactly WHAT “may take an Rx?” Iodine *is* a potential antiseptic but you really do NOT want to take it internally (potassium iodide is the primary form that is taken internally but most people get ample amounts from table salt) but most other forms of iodine should be used only on the skin in case of relatively small wounds. (Other iodine uses done internally should ONLY be done under a physician’s care and observation–usually as a “contrast agent” for X-ray purposes. Any physician who would suggest a patient use any of those as a COVID treatment should lose their medical license post haste.) As for her other solutions at #4, those don’t actually do anything to COVID (just like they do nothing for the cold or flu or pneumonia; all a nasal solution does is to ease congestion in nasal passages and cleans out excess mucus, aka “snot”) and I’ve never heard of a need for an Rx for such solutions (a physician might be able to provide a stronger nasal solution IF needed but, for the most part, over-the-counter solutions are all that “prescribed” or even recommended).
The face steamer doesn’t “increase oxygen”–except indirectly. The steam helps open congested sinuses and bronchial passages which allows a sick person to breathe more easily and, that means you get more oxygen into the lungs (but when you’re starting at 50% lung capacity, when you “increase oxygen,” it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re back to full capacity; 60% is an “increase” but you’re still going to be wheezing and gasping after the steam treatment’s benefits wear off).
#1 doesn’t really mean that much. Sure, you can use one at home but it’s also recommended that you follow the directions for use (and they’re pretty strict) AND you’re supposed to contact your health care provider with the numbers so HE (or she) can determine what the number actually means in terms of your overall health. (And if you get one that’s NOT FDA approved–which includes most OTC oximeters–then it should NOT be used for medical purposes.)
#2. Um, that’s pretty much a good idea in general. But a thermometer doesn’t really do anything as far as COVID’s concerned. It takes your temperature and you NEED to know your baseline normal temperature for any thermometer to be of any use. (With my personal thermometers, I’ve noticed that when I’m really feeling feverish, the thermometer rarely cracks the 100-degree mark unless I’m REALLY sick. And the last time I went to the doctor’s office–for some back pain and later for a slight case of shingles–I asked what their thermometer reading for me was and I was told it was a little over 97 degrees. You might note that “normal” body temperature is 98.6 degrees so my “normal” is quite a bit below average which means if I go in and have a “mild” fever of 99.2, then that’s really a significant fever for me but for anyone else, it’s not really something that a doctor will be too concerned about.)
#6 and 7 are pretty standard as well. You should always have some sort of fever reducer and cough medicine on hand (not only for you but also in children’s strength if you’ve got young ‘uns around). The “fruit pop cycles” (I certainly hope she means “popsicles”) probably aren’t really a great idea since they’re mostly frozen flavored sugar water. You CAN make some healthy ones–there are all sorts of freezer molds to make your own pops (just make sure you’ve got something to use as a handle–some molds come with their own handles). Just fill the mold with a favorite fruit juice (preferably a low-sugar or “no sugar added” variety; if you’ve got a juicer on hand, just chop the fresh fruits and/or veggies and run them through the juicer), put in the freezer for several hours and wait. (You can even make small ones by getting ice cube trays, fill them with juice, cover with plastic wrap and stick a toothpick through the wrap and wait for them to freeze.) Obviously, with the time it takes to freeze, store-bought pops can be a “desperate measure” but if you’re really sick, you don’t really need a lot of sugar water. (You could actually try using something like Gatorade or other “sports drink” instead of fruit juice but they’re not necessarily all that much healthier than fruit juice.)
I do love the way she suggests having some “home COVID tests” on hand; it certainly indicates she must think people have just scads of spare cash on hand that they can stock up on the home tests. Especially if those tests turn out to produce false positives or false negatives. (Walgreens and CVS have some home tests for sale online at about $24 per package with two tests per package. If you’ve got two adults needing to test and they’re not sure their initial results were accurate, that’s an easy $50 just for one test and retest per couple. And they’re supposed to have some “on hand?” Yeah. Everybody has cash just laying around doing nothing.)
Normal these days is below 98.6; 97 is common. They don’t know why it changed.
My mother used to freeze fruit juice in an ice-cube tray. usually grape juice. Wrap a paper towel around it.
My temp has always run between 96F and some change to 97.5–anything higher and I feel fevery—so I’ve always assumed running low was just me. Thanks for the info!
Nebulizing hydrogen peroxide, as she suggests, can DESTROY the lungs. The CDC expressly recommends AGAINST nebulizing hydrogen peroxide.
Yes. These people are completely insane. Hydrogen peroxide causes inflammation, kills healthy cells, and fuels cancer and autoimmune diseases. Would it kill viruses, sure, but only on direct physical contact, so then the next wave of COVID breathed in feasts on one’s weakened lungs. In effect by breathing hydrogen peroxide you’re permanently scarring and destroying the alveoli in your lungs where the oxygen exchange takes place – the same thing that COVID does to your lungs on a temporary basis. Also increasing inflammation by using hydrogen peroxide internally or externally weakens your overall immune system just when your immune system needs to be as strong as possible to fight off COVID. The end result is you’re assisting COVID in permanently destroying your ability to breathe. Hydrogen peroxide is great at sanitizing surfaces, but deleterious for one’s health when it comes in direct human contact – just like COVID.
All these “instructions” on how to get better when getting vaccinated would have prevented all this. And when none of these home “remedies” work and people get really sick with COVID they rush to the hospitals and expect the poor overworked doctors and nurses to save them.
And spit on them.
Please proceed with the hydrogen peroxide in the lungs. Garlic and the magic sock? What, one wears the garlic in the sock around one’s neck because Covid has fangs like a Vampire? I AM DAMNED TIRED OF THE FUCKING IDIOTS but on the other hand – maybe this is herd cleansing?
I am generally against people doing things to themselves that can easily kill them. But in the cases of these anti-vaxxer anti-mask a-holes, I have lost all sympathy or empathy for them! My sympathy and empathy is for the innocent children that they will infect! Hydrogen peroxide in large enough concentrations kills cells…like lung tissue and blood cells! Sometimes I wonder what would happen if they were told that jamming an ice-pick through their ear into what passes for their brain would cure Covid? OOOPPS, shouldn’t give them any ideas should i?!
Let them gargle with it first. Then they may change their mind about using it in a nebulizer. (It tastes awful. And it also makes the back of your mouth have prickly pain. Dentist uses it to kill germs in the mouth.)
I’ve heard of rubbing Vicks or crushing garlic and applying it to the soles of the feet and putting socks overall to prevent messing up the sheets. For some reason this gets quite a lot of the volatiles in the garlic into the bloodstream, to where you can smell garlic on the patient’s breath. Which is maybe useful against bacterial infections, couldn’t swear to it about viral infections.
Seems awfully complicated. Makes one wonder if maybe just getting vacinated might be a lot lestrying.
I for one hope all of these Republican MAGAts will use all of this crazy shit. Then hopefully we will hear of their demise. I simply do not care anymore about these stupid people!
AMAZING .. had to share w ER MD daughter .. she might get some tips… on poisons these COVIDIOTS are using! and share them w Poison control!
“She’s Quarantined w/Ivermectin and A Vibrator”
Omg that is SO freaking funny! And republicans wonder why most people think they’re idiots.
