    Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing a vaccine for coronavirus. They claim it will be ready within the next 90 days. That would be incredible.

    Boost your immune system as much as possible. High doses of vitamin C, Echinacea, also lookup "Health Quest 365 Greens"
    ~Look up the benefits of drinking Hydrogen infused water, it can help reduce oxidative stress ~ the leading cause of diseases and cancer.

    A CT Machine scanning lungs have shown consistently what the doctors called glass left by the virus. Usually when one scans with that result is going to have the COVID19 and require higher care. Let's not forget that people do heal from that and for a few it's striking them back twice behaving as cancer might behave.

    The Israeli Lab in question was working on a very similar situation for 4 years until someone finally asked the right question, what if... and boom they might have something very powerful there. Israel has had a hand in some of the medicine things I have benefited from among other things. America as well.

    There is only one place I focus on in America and that's Fort Detrick in Frederick. Under that installation is a formal Level Four Lab. There is nothing that they will "Not" work on there. In the State School at vocational work dept some of us were assigned that employer for wages prior to graduation part time. I was offered something there but declined it and took on a library work instead. It was not a bad job, relatively routine and at times too quiet.

    I've deleted some political posts in this thread. I don't want to send the whole thread to the Political Forum or hand out any infractions or ban anybody but if the political comments in the main forum don't stop I won't have any other choice.
    It's up to you guys.

    Someone came up with an ingenious idea. There are millions of these unused disks that can be utilized for protection!

    It's my understanding that the CDC has estimated 56,000 people die from the flu or flu-like illnesses each year. I'm not a physician, but the way I understand this version is it is highly contagious and spreads like wildfire. It will make you sick, but the mortality rate is very low. Like most any other illness it attacks the very old and the weak. My only real concern is I hope it does not mutate. I am also bothered by some reports that getting it and recovering does not make you immune from getting it again!

    The biggest problem is that there are so many unknowns since this is a new disease to humans. Its transmission rate seems to be very high and happening before symptoms occur, and as someone else has said, it may reside in the body after apparent cure.

    I just read an article today that said someone's dog was diagnosed with it in China.

    I'm hoping it doesn't come down to it, but just in case, I bought 20 pounds of rice and several bags of beans. If factories shut down there could be shortages. Already Japan has shut down their schools Nationwide. And as we all know, almost everything we use comes from overseas; even many of our medicines.

    You might as well not go to any fuel stop. Those of which you speak have become ubiquitous and omnipresent in this industry.

    Things I do to help prevent the spread of disease:

    Always turn the water off and open the door to the washroom with a paper towel.

    Try to stay away from stinky, unwashed people.
     
    Rideandrepair and D.Tibbitt Thank this.
