Coronavirus

This is the advice given to hospital staff.
It explains the virus and hopefully, how to prevent getting it.
Please share with family, friends and work colleagues.

Virus Detection:

The simplest way to distinguish Coronavirus from a Common Cold is that the COVID-19 infection does not cause a cold nose or cough with cold, but it does create a dry and rough cough.
The virus is typically first installed in the throat causing inflammation and a feeling of dryness. This symptom can last between 3 and 4 days.
The virus typically then travels through the moisture present in the airways, goes down to the trachea and installs in the lungs, causing pneumonia that lasts about 5 or 6 days.
Pneumonia manifests with a high fever and difficulty breathing. The Common Cold is not accompanied, but there may be a choking sensation. In this case, the doctor should be called immediately.

Experts suggest doing this simple verification every morning: Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for 10 seconds. If this can be done without coughing, without difficulty, this shows that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, indicating the absence of infection. It is recommended to do this control every morning to help detect infection.

Prevention:
The virus hates heat and dies if it is exposed to temperatures greater than 80°F (27°C). Therefore hot drinks such as infusions, broths or simply hot water should be consumed abundantly during the day. These hot liquids kill the virus and are easy to ingest.
Avoid drinking ice water or drinks with ice cubes.

Ensure that your mouth and throat are always wet, never DRY. You should drink a sip of water at least every 15 minutes. WHY? Even when the virus enters water or other liquids through the mouth, it will get flushed through the oesophagus directly into the stomach where gastric acids destroy the virus. If there is not enough water, the virus can pass into the trachea and from there to the lungs, where it is very dangerous.

For those who can, sunbathe. The Sun's UV rays kill the virus and the vitamin D is good for you.
The Coronavirus has a large size (diameter of 400-500 nanometers) so face masks can stop it, no special face masks are needed in daily life.
If an infected person sneezes nearby, stay 10 feet (3.3 meters) away to allow the virus fall to the ground and prevent it from falling on you.
When the virus is on hard surfaces, it survives about 12 hours, therefore when hard surfaces such as doors, appliances, railings, etc. are touched, hands should be washed thoroughly and/or disinfected with alcoholic gel The virus can live nested in clothes and tissues between 6 and 12 hours. Common detergents can kill it. Things that cannot be washed should be exposed to the Sun and the virus will die.
The transmission of the virus usually occurs by direct infection, touching fabrics, tissues or materials on which the virus is present.
Washing your hands is essential.
The virus survives on our hands for only about 10 minutes. In that time many things can happen, rubbing the eyes, touching the nose or lips. This allows the virus to enter your throat. Therefore, for your good and the good of all, wash your hands very often and disinfect them.
You can gargle with disinfectant solutions (i.e. Listerine or Hydrogen Peroxide) that eliminate or minimize the amount of virus that can enter the throat. Doing so removes the virus before it goes down to the trachea and then to the lungs.
Disinfect things touched often: mobile phone, keyboard, mouse, car steering wheel, door handles, etc ....

Sent in to us just now and we wanted to share this knowledge & advice with you all.

Please do the same and take care!

Unfortunately the covid and heat is a myth. Much of the south has been 85+F last week or more and cases still climbing. Hope everyone is safe out there

List of coronavirus “facts” from internal email at St. George’s Hospital? Fact Check

A message of alleged facts about preventing the coronavirus is spreading across social meda. Most variants claim that is attributed to St. George’s Hospital in London.

Some variants of the message claim it is form an internal email for staff at St. George’s hospital, while others claim it came from the Princess of Wales hospital or was sent to all of NHS London. Other variants simply state it is “advice given to hospital staff”.

High temperatures and humidity can 'significantly' slow the spread of coronavirus, but won't completely stop it, study find

Time for a larger tent and HPS lights. Sleep and live in the tent.

Just confirmed the first death in our state. They are saying since the US delayed their response that 40-80% of our state's population will contract the virus.

Welp... time to roll one up?...

Couple new things I heard:

-You have to breathe it into your lungs or have it directly enter your bloodstream through a cut

-It is only infectious on hard surfaces for less than 10 days

The local County cyber security arm of the police just issued this.

In the last 24hrs 1360 web urls have been registered with the word Corona or Corona virus. Please be aware if scams that will be incoming... Such as this one.....


Be vigilant out there people.

I was just about to post this too. Already brought up the temperature and humidity at my home.

Just done some simple maths with current around 8000 cases and a bit more in UK and with current rate its climbing theirs gonna be around 2million infected within UK in 15days and in 30 days over 17million and thats just confirmed cases so i presume it could be higher if this lockdown doesnt work.

I would think easily over 2million within 15 days cus of peeps being infected already before the lockdown, it may start to drop after that with a bit of luck. :)

[Mini-G-Star]

How has uk lockdown day 1 been then. Have your towns and cities been compliant?

[bigbadbillybob]

Don't bank on it Jimmy. They are only Testing people for covid, by the time they get to hospital, and are having serious breathing difficulties etc, so the true figure will be much much higher than the govern -bent want us to know.
Im staying in for as long as possible.
