my dear older, wiser, Christian friend's son -might- have it. the labs are busy, the test results won't be in till Monday at the earliest. in the meantime....

codeine cough syrup, self-isolation. :-(

If he can't get medical help...quercetin is a poor man's hydroxychloroquine and it's otc. Follow recommended dosing.

I wonder what that was about.

Under martial law the military are given police powers

A80,000 cases in China and not a single new case for a while. How is China so immune. No new cases means no spread.

Italy has just over half that with 1000s of new cases daily.

Personally i don't believe chinese numbers.

Its not,a cure but actually chicken pox that gives you,anti bodies to fight it.

i have an immune weakness to chickenpox. i had it bad as a kid and caught it again and again each time my 3 kids got it.

The panic creates more trouble than the virus itself.

agreed

Medical news has it that with all these people staying indoors that there will be widespread vitamin D deficiencies and vitamin supplements should be substituted in some cases if you can't get outside for sunlight.

they hope so, but so far the data doesn't support it. I hope it flattens so we can get our supplies. People should back off from the hoarding.

26,900 confirmed cases in the USA. +2,693 since the previous report.

Millions are suspected of being contagious, but they don't have enough tests to find and quarantine them.

True,.. I've heard about that as well,.. however this is something else to keep in mind. I do believe that you're still more than likely able to die from a car accident then the Flu or or Coronavirus.

Be careful in your car too. They can be dangerous if you are not cautious.

Update on vaccine development. RNA vaccines are being researched:

Despite successes in animals, this strategy has never yielded a vaccine approved for human use.

In my opinion, to get through this crisis we have to look at the big picture and support God in this matter. On personal lives should be dedicated to helping others during this crisis. Nothing else matters. Worship is important but faith without works is dead.

It is obvious to me that God is about to transform this world on a grand scale and he is not revealing more to us at this time. Try to imagine the good that will come out of this. The homeless now have rooms to live in. People of good will are reaching out to each other.

We cannot confine our worship to a building or gathering. I is in our charity that we introduce ourselves as Christians.

Matthew 25: 36 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink ' . . .I was a stranger and you took me in, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you visited me.’

The question we have to ask ourselves is how we can do this without sacrificing our healthy. Most of this can be done online. This is the silver lining. These changes are taking place at a time when we can reach out on the internet.

That was nice of JK.
