Having vitamins in the urine doesn’t guarantee to “boost” your immune system, unless you are vitamin deficient and certainly wouldn’t be helpful with COVID-19. I think what prior post implied was that some people who intake false cures maybe less educated but more importantly maybe under impression that they are protected somehow and are less apt to self quarantine or follow social distancing.
I think these are two separate issues. One is inequality which I agree with. Another is ingesting sh*t and writing it off to believes like it is somehow make it ok. Cow’s urine is cow’s urine. Humans’ urine contains tons of vitamins. As the matter of fact people who take a lot of water soluble vitamins end up urinating most of them out. Containing vitamins and minerals does not mean it is good for you or anybody else to ingest the product (urine in this case) that contains it. I am so tired of hearing people (many are well educated) defending remedies that not only not helpful but could be harmful. Cow’s manure contains tons of fiber, fiber is great for everybody and decreases risk of several cancers. It does not mean that eating cow sh*t is good for you. How about shark cartilage ? Is it ok to eat cartilage soup because of someone’s ethnicity and believes?Nobody but the bigoted fake news media is pushing the view that some people actually believe this is a cure for Covid-19. My point is that just like most people would take supplements of their choice based upon their beliefs about how it may boost their general immunity so there are people doing likewise except that it may be cow urine.
I think it was already posted earlier that poor migrant laborers do not have a choice but to live in overcrowded conditions with maybe a dozen people to a room in dorm style accommodation with just a single toilet for dozens. I've seen some older documentaries from HK and SG (add the Gulf countries to the list) that show the abysmal living conditions of people like cooks waiters construction laborers and salon workers etc., compared to the general standards of living for the rest of the population in these countries. It is a reality that has been buried and hushed. Now its a challenge in the times of pandemics especially when one is asymptomatic. One person gets it then everyone gets it.
I hope they don't suffer too much and get out of it fast.

Bigotry??? This is ridiculous. There is no western or eastern science. There is science. Science of diving, physics, mathematics, medicine, pharmacology... There are studies that are done with several arms, randomization and other techniques to make sure that the results are valid. The studies work just as well out East and out West and anywhere in between. They can help to sort out a lot of superstitions, regardless of where they originated. Furthermore, I take an offense to your comments. No body is out there to get you. No one is calling you names. No one is here waging a war on East. No one is here being a bigot.Blinded by Bigotry that only Western origin science has anything worthwhile to offer... I am not going to be your educator or teacher about who taught whom the basics. No more comments from me.
