My opinion about Covid19 is that most folks are going to contract this virus. It will be very much like the Hong Kong flu epidemic in the early 1970's. Most people survived this virulent flu epidemic and most will survive this recent virus. I suppose that trying to slow down the spread is beneficial but most (40-70 percent) will contract this virus. Hopefully there will be some anti-viral treatment for severe cases.

As for anti-viral treatment, the best things you can do is to wash your hands for 20 seconds several times/day if you go out to public places. Wear PVC gloves when handling or touching commonly touched public surfaces, e.g. gas pumps, door handles, window closures, arm rests, etc. Avoid touching your face, nose and eyes. Many people contract the cold, flu, RSV, and other respiratory viruses through contact with the eye & eyelid membranes. You can also take Sambucol, which is well-characterized for its anti-viral properties, especially for respiratory viruses. It was developed by an Israeli medical virologist. I kept my FIV+ cat alive for >5 years after he seroconverted by giving him Sambucol; the average life of a cat after seroconverting to FIV+ is...1 year.

In other words what you do for the flu. It's amazing to me that while most folks don't even get their flu or shingles vaccines or other vaccines, now everyone is super concerned with Covid19. Why? Because it's the new virus in town. Take reasonable precautions but folks, you are probably going to catch this virus and the good news is, you will survive it and have some immunity afterwards. |

Its not about getting through skin, its all about getting it on your hands and fingers and touching your mouth, nose or eyes. This is how most respiratory viruses are tranmitted, along with coughing/sneezing. Just so you know, this virus is considerably more lethal than the 1918 Influenza virus; the lethality index for the 1918 Influenza was ~1.8; the lethality index for this virus is 2.5-3, if not greater. This virus is NOT to be treated lightly. People should be super-concerned about COVID-19 and take appropriate measures.

The common cold is a group of viruses and are upper respiratory viruses. Like the flu, covid 19 is lower respiratory. Regarding "appropriate measures", when going out carry hand sanitizer, do not shake hands in the typical manner. Folks, most people contract flu through carelessness. This is a highly contagious virus but if you get it, you will most likely survive. Folks probably aren't going to listen to me, but the key is to avoid a significant inoculation and to stay in tip top physical shape. If you get a large inoculation, your body begins behind the 8-ball and you are at a significant disadvantage. Also if you smoke, vape, drink very much at all, and are in poor overall physical shape, your mortality rate and complication rate will rise. So it's size of the inoculation, which can be reduced by thorough handwashing and hand sanitizers and avoidance of "crowds" Lifestyle, i.e. personal habits including diet Physical condition Genetics Luck Charles Last edited by Charles; 02-29-2020 at 12:14 AM. |
