Closures Related to Covid-19

[Dinafem-Mark]

Hello to my AFN family

Please see the image below regarding our approach to the "corona virus"

Due to this development I can not fulfil any free seeds at the moment

I can only apologise for this and most of you know this is totally out of my control

We have had to take these precautions to try to protect our team and from the advice the Spanish government has provided, This is the best decision!.

We won't be closed for long! That just means you'll have more of me on the forums

The AFN and social media is going to be a huge asset in these trying times as the world goes on lockdown. Let's stick together as a community, react to advice from governments and hope for the best.

We will get through this

@Son of Hobbes @Mossy Would you be able to "sticky" this thread please?

Thanks in advance

All the best

Mark..

I do not know how sound this advice is:

People who have contracted COVID-19 may want to put down the pot.

Aurelius Data is sounding the alarm that tetrahydrocannabinol or THC — the high-inducing component of cannabis — will not mix well with the coronavirus if it is anything like the flu.

How are Canadian cannabis companies protecting employees from COVID-19?
Move over toilet paper, worldwide panic over COVID-19 has people stockpiling cannabis
Comedian Bill Maher says the coronavirus means no more sharing joints with friends
“We know that the epidemiology of COVID-19 is similar to the influenza virus and has a similar disease presentation,” said Julie Armstrong, CEO of Aurelius Data. “And we know that in studies where THC was administered to mice with influenza, we saw an increase in viral loads and a decrease in the immune system to fight off the virus.”

“It stands to reason that the same would hold true for coronavirus and THC consumption could diminish the immune system of someone infected with the virus.”
The company said further research is necessary to map out all the interactions that might occur in these cases and if CBD, which helps modulate autoimmune and inflammatory responses, produces different results.

“Although no clinical trials exist showing poorer outcomes in patients infected with COVID-19 who use therapeutic or recreational cannabis, the data from pre-human studies urge caution for these individuals in the face of the current viral epidemic,” said Barry Mennen, a doctor who utilizes medical cannabis in his primary care practice.

The company is encouraging people to provide invaluable feedback by filling out a brief survey on its website. The questionnaire asks about fears related to contracting the virus, conditions people currently treat with cannabis or other medications and how effective they find those treatments to be.

“Medical Cannabis patients across this country are going to be affected by COVID-19 just like the rest of the population and they need to be aware of the interactions their cannabis medications could have on this disease,” Armstrong said. “We are working to collect data in this under researched area and provide them with the best recommendations we can moving forward.”
