The Coronavirus And Its Spread Through Information Suppression

By  

Like everyone else I've been bombarded with news and information concerning the "Coronavirus". Can't help feel the pressure from this viral outbreak when you walk into a supermarket and there's no toilet paper. Every type of paper fit to wipe yourself is gone from a panic that is created only by people who live their lives in a panic. There's absolutely no shortages of anything except the shortages that are being created by the panicked people who are hoarding for no good reason. This hoarding causes people who are not panicked to hoard also.
Of course the "Coronavirus" came to the United States via naturalized immigrants who went to Wuhan China to visit their families. Most likely these naturalized U.S. Citizens brought to the United States the virus along with their family members from Wuhan China on visa's as the Chinese government canceled all domestic flights in China but let international flights out of Wuhan China proceed. News reports did state many U.S. Citizens of Chinese heritage were sickened with the Coronavirus in and out of the United States.
There's many Chinatown's in the United States and what I'm noticing is all the heavy outbreaks of this virus are in large cities with a Chinatown and heavily populated areas near large bodies of water. Tourism is big time through Chinatowns in the U.S. so it's not a surprise the virus is in every town and city across the United States.
I already know positively that most if not all flu viruses come from China and this has already been established. It's been reported that U.S. drug representatives go to China each year before the flu season and get a sample of the flu virus and create a flu vaccine before the flu virus migrates to the United States. Some years the flu vaccines created are great and some years the vaccine created is inadequate.
Because of the suppression of the spread by the Chinese government and the U.S. democrat party thousands of people worldwide are now deceased. The Chinese want to save face for their deadly blunder and the U.S. democrat party want China to be apart of their globalization efforts no matter what. It's understood now even by the most relaxed democrats that the democrat party is leaning towards a communist type of government and their media is pushing the false understanding that full government control can create solutions the democrat party never was able to achieve under Barack Obama's 8 years in the presidency with a democrat stranglehold of congress.
The laboratory in Wuhan China where it's said the Coronavirus came from is located next to a large river. The Coronavirus seems to do well in moist climates next to large bodies of water. Really large outbreaks are in coastal regions of the United States and near waterways. Las Vegas I expected to have a large outbreak as New York because of the massive tourism and the Chinatown there but there's only 3000 cases with 139 deaths countywide (Clark County) due to the dry climate in my own opinion where moisture evaporates soon after leaving a persons mouth.
The desert southwest is very dry naturally even when it rains and except for some cases (under 500 infections and under 200 deaths) in the big counties of Clark (Las Vegas, NV.), Maricopa (Phoenix, AZ.) and Pima (Tucson, AZ.) which have massive tourism and immigrants the desert southwest maybe the best place to be during this Coronavirus outbreak, just stay out of the 3 cities listed above.
Quote From Sciencing: Another characteristic of a dry climate is that evaporation is often greater than precipitation. This results in a climate that lacks ground moisture due to the low average rainfall and rapid evaporation of the precipitation that does fall.
What I'm saying is the droplets that are ejected while talking and sneezing dry up really fast in the desert southwest whereas droplets that are ejected in coastal cities stay moist for 2 or more hours. The north central United States and Alaska have the fewest Coronavirus outbreaks but that appears to be due to the lack of huge population centers, chinese immigrants and tourism.
As for shutting down the United States I guess it had to be done since very few face masks were available for public use. I surely hope the United States government will pull as much critical and non critical manufacturing as they can out of China and back to the United States. The governors and federal government could have saved United States Citizens a lot of pain and hardship if they had given away free face masks to everyone in the country. Shutting down the economy had to be done to save lives since past elected leaders gave United States manufacturing away.
Opening the United States economy back up and containing the spread of the Coronavirus should be done through "Face Masks". Many people I see already have and wear face masks but many do not. A law requiring everyone to wear face masks, "? " as a health concern measure wouldn't be bad if free or affordable face masks were available for the working poor and homeless. Unintentionally making someone else sick isn't a crime but should be kept to a minimum. The police will have a rough time identifying criminals but the virus will die out. The Chinese government hoarded over two billion face masks and I'm betting everyone in Wuhan China was given one. Two Trillion dollars were spent in the United States to shore up businesses and families and I expect it would have been less expensive with no harm to the economy if the United States government had enough face masks to give to people in Coronavirus break out areas.
People who are young and naturally have an intake of the daily percentage value of the vitamin "Zinc" which is 15mg most likely will repel and not contract the Coronvirus. Zinc is a natural deterrent of the Coronavirus and older people most likely do not absorb enough of this mineral or do not take a supplement. I heard our president "Donald Trump" say he has to import more Zinc in a short statement as he was walking out of one of his daily Coronavirus briefings. I myself already am vitamin heavy because of medical conditions that plague me. "Zinc" has been a regular with me for years now along with other vitamins. A person can still contract the Coronavirus taking Zinc but Zinc is a big time deterrent the Coronavirus cannot survive with.
The economy should be kept closed in areas and I mean areas of high outbreaks that should be given face masks for everyone to wear. Areas of light outbreaks should be given face masks also but keep the area economies open. Areas with no outbreaks should be let to operate freely. The economy has to be restarted and as long as face masks are keeping the Coronavirus from being ejected from a persons mouth there's no harm no foul. It's said that many Coronavirus carriers do not exhibit symptoms so a face mask over everyone's airways stopping droplet ejections seems to be the likely cure until the Coronavirus dies out naturally due to not being able to spread.

Tips to Enhance Body Immunity


By    Expert Author Dr. Pran Rangan

In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, the people have been taking the required precautions like the use of mask, social distancing, minimal personal interactions, etc. Despite the observance of these measures, it is quite important that one should possess good immunity to fight the new Corona virus infection and other illnesses.
The immune system is essential for our survival. Without it our bodies would be open to attack from bacteria, viruses, parasites, and more. It keeps us healthy as we come across a large number of pathogens.
It is spread throughout the body and involves many types of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues. It has special ability to distinguish our tissue from foreign tissue. Dead and faulty cells are also recognized and cleared away by it.
If it encounters a pathogen, a bacterium, virus, or parasite, it mounts a so-called immune response. An immune response is a reaction which occurs in our body for the purpose of defending against foreign invaders. A toxin or other foreign substance, which induces an immune response in the body thereby producing antibodies, is called antigen.
Central to its ability to mobilize a response to an invading pathogen, toxin or allergen is its ability to distinguish self from non-self. The host uses both innate and adaptive mechanisms to detect and eliminate pathogenic microbes.
Innate immunity is the defense system with which we are born. Innate immunity involves barriers that keep harmful materials from entering our body. These barriers form the first line of defense in the immune response.
If pathogens successfully evade the innate response, we possess a second layer of protection, the adaptive immune system, which is activated by the innate response. It adapts its response during an infection to improve its recognition of the pathogen. This response is retained after the pathogen has been eliminated in the form of an immunological memory, which allows the adaptive immune system to mount faster and stronger attacks each time this pathogen is encountered.
Tips to enhance immunity -
The following are important tips that will help us to enhance our immunity:
Have an adequate sleep -
Sleep and immunity are closely linked. During sleep, the immune system releases proteins called cytokines. Certain cytokines need to increase when we have an infection or inflammation, or when we are under stress. Sleep deprivation may decrease production of these protective cytokines. In addition, infection-fighting antibodies and cells are reduced during periods when we don't get enough sleep.
It is normally recommended that adults should aim to get 7 or more hours of sleep each night, whereas teens need 8-10 hours and younger children and infants up to 14 hours.
Eat more whole plant foods -
Whole plant foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes are rich in nutrients and antioxidants that may give you an upper hand against harmful pathogens by boosting immunity. By eating all different colors of plant-based foods, we are more likely to get a strong and varied nutritional profile. In fact, whole foods, plant-based diet contains 64-times the amount of immunity-boosting antioxidants compared to a diet that includes meat and dairy.
Eat healthy oil -
Healthy fats like olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil and foods rich in omega-3s are highly anti-inflammatory. Since chronic inflammation can suppress our immune system, these fats may naturally combat illnesses. A low-level inflammation is a normal response to stress or injury.
Reduce stress -
The stress suppresses it, increasing susceptibility to colds and other illnesses. It is difficult to define stress. Most scientists studying the relationship of stress and immune function, however, do not study a sudden, short-lived stressor; rather, they try to study more constant and frequent stressors known as chronic stress.
Do regular exercise -
The regular exercise is one of the pillars of healthy living. Just like a healthy diet, exercise can contribute to a healthy immune system. It may contribute by promoting good circulation, which allows its cells and substances to move through the body freely and do their job efficiently.
Stop smoking -
Smoking can suppress it because nicotine can lead to decreased neutrophilic phagocytic activity. It can also inhibit the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) thus impairing the ability of neutrophils to kill pathogens. Within the lungs, smoking triggers a release of inflammatory agents that lead to persistent chronic inflammatory syndrome.
Meditate daily -
It has been found that the benefit we experience from meditation isn't strictly psychological; there is a clear and quantifiable change in how our bodies function. Meditation is one of the restorative activities that may provide relief for our immune systems, easing the day-to-day stress of the body.
Limit added sugar -
When we eat a big dose of sugar, we temporarily damp down our immune system's ability to respond to challenges. The effect lasts for several hours. So if you eat sweets several times a day, it may be perpetually operating at a distinct disadvantage. Further eating sugary foods can produce excessive inflammation that serves no useful purpose but promotes aging and disease.
The bottom line -
Our immune system is essential for our survival. Our lifestyle can affect how well it can protect us from germs, viruses, and chronic illnesses. Replacing bad health habits with good ones can help keep it healthy. The above tips if followed adequately can go a long way toward strengthening our immunity.
Our immune system is crucial for our survival since it helps us protect from myriads of illnesses. Our lifestyle is closely linked to our immunity. By adopting the tips mentioned in the article, we can enhance our immunity.

Living With Novel Corona Virus or Covid 19

By  

The human world has just gone almost upside down. The recent pandemic has grabbed the everyday life of humans' by the throat, and this happened all of a sudden. Fear has emerged from the darkness and has proliferated within the entire globe very swiftly, and this has paralyzed the routine works of humans. The Novel Corona Virus has brought in very many novel ways along with it, which were unknown to humans hitherto, rather neglected by them.
Now, many say that from now onwards, there will be a pre and post Novel Corona Virus era.
But, will humans become novel because of Novel Corona Virus? If we learn the essence of this painful pandemic, then we will see the emergence of a welcoming world on the other side of this heartbreak! On the other hand, if the lesson remains unread, then for sure, it will breed enmity between nations, which will take the world to novel confrontations.
Let's hope for the best to happen. Let us have a bit of optimism and look forward to a better human society where there are no religious, caste, or racial discriminations.
Living With Novel Corona Virus or Covid 19 - Precautions
  • Be hygienic always, anywhere, and at all costs. Maintaining personal hygiene is imperative.
  • Whenever you move out, wear a face mask; for common use, a two-layered cloth mask is better. You can reuse the same after washing. You can also make it at home.
  • While wearing and removing masks, you must take double care; you must not touch the middle portion by hand; always, hold the string for wearing and removing.
  • Don't place your mask carelessly here or there, after use. Always take it to your bathroom if washable and wash it with soap or detergent immediately. If it is a 'one-time' use mask, you must wash it in the same manner and put it in a plastic bag and then to the garbage bag. You can also cut the same into one or two pieces, as this will prevent somebody using the same again. After removing the mask, you must wash your hands.
  • Remember, when you are out of your home, you won't know whether the person near you is a Novel Corona Virus carrier. This practically means that your entire body is unhygienic and hence, never allow your hands to touch vulnerable parts of your body such as nose, eyes, and mouth.
  • Always take a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you; this will be of great help to you when you are on the move.
  • Forget about the handshake greeting; don't greet by a handshake; instead, you can just fold your hands and nod your head. This is the best form of greeting.
  • Sanitize your hands more often; when you are at home, you can use soap.
  • It's always good to take warm foods and drinks.
  • Maintain individual distance; at least three feet away from another person.
  • It's sensible to stay away from crowded places, in any case, for these initial periods.
  • Clean your hands and feet when you reach your home or workplace.
  • When you reach your home, you must enter inside only after washing your feet. Straight away, you must have your bath.
  • Take protein-rich food, which will make your resistance-level up and will enhance the overall immunity power.
  • Do physical exercises regularly, which will help our body metabolism.
  • Get in touch with a practicing physician if you feel something wrong with your body. Never attempt to do self medication.
Finally, we must learn the lesson taught by this Novel Corona Virus that human life is so fragile, and it can collapse even by a minute virus, which is not visible by the human naked-eye. Hence, we must throw away the hatred that we were carrying hitherto and must love one another. Let us become Novel Human Beings.
