As the name implies, these are made with water. This kind of lube is usually easy to find at the drugstore. (Many K-Y products are made with water, for example.) Water-based lubes are thin and slippery, making them really easy to rinse off when the fun ends. This also means they’re prone to drying out quickly and you may need to apply more, which some people don’t like, says Dr. Adams. But in general, these are a good universal choice because, unlike oil-based lubes, they won’t damage latex safe-sex barriers like external condoms and dental dams. They also won’t degrade internal condoms, which are typically made of polyurethane (a type of plastic) or nitrile (a type of rubber), according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. (And unlike silicone-based lubes, these are okay to use with silicone sex toys.)
Dr Daniel Yumbya was not responding quickly to treatment after contracting Covid-19 in February.
The CEO of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) had suffered persistent headache, high temperatures, nausea and lost his taste feeling. However, the coronavirus symptoms did not surprise him since he’s a frontline worker. He was only shaken when shortness of breath forced him to use supplemental oxygen in the five days he was admitted at the Nairobi West Hospital.
Medics placed him on Remdesivir, a drug that former US President Donald Trump used when he was down with Covid. Within two days, Dr Yumbya was back on feet again.
