Coronavirus

Those steroids depress your immune system. Inviting infection from bacteria and viruses.
I didn't say I,take them . darned if you,do as the inhaler can stop the attack and the advair,and symbiocort prevent,the need for the inhaler ,since I have exercised induced asthma and they don't stop,the fits I don't bother ,I can breathe great while coughing up mucus and neither stops that .

Pointless to use them ,unless I really want to run hard .if I ease back into cardio ,I,won't need to,its when I push hard ,then it creates the problem ,case in point ,I was tested for the type while running a 8 minute mile
 
Tend to agree with Kiwidan's call for calm.
Panic and over reaction are just exacerbating the problem.
We all need to stay calm....
that means you too Humble Soul !! ??
 
Wow, long thread already! I have not read all of this thread, so I'll just jump right in. I watched a bunch of videos about China and this coronavirus today, and...I get the feeling that this is either a biological warfare attack, or, it is the Lord allowing it so that people will repent and turn to Him for help.

The videos are saying that the stats about the virus in China are mostly lies and that thousands more are dying from the virus than is being reported by them. I dunno.

What I do know is that this is where all of us Brothers and Sisters pray Psalm 91 over our lives, homes, families and for the victims. I believe that Prayer is the only hope to remain safe from contracting the virus...
Wow, just wow.
 
Your international companies and research universities have been urged to have more people work from home (self isolation) where people travel abroad on a regular basis.
Usually for at least two weeks upon arriving home.

They are trying to slow the spread down. They can't stop it.
 
not go all political on this, -but- ...

the crazy insane US health system is probably not...how do I put this, tactfully...adequately equipped to handle this situation.

low wage workers work or face termination. how many of them are going to have insurance, transportation, and the means to pay for treatment, anyway?

The other issue...compared to many other affluent, developed nations, the US locks a lot of people up. jails, prisons, juvenile facilities. those populations...to me, are not only vulnerable, but they are a potential hazard to the rest of the community (that -sounded- really harsh, but I Mean it in terms of exposing others...). "medical care" in jails is...wow, 3rd world-level...and a lot (Most?) of those in the jails will bond out or be released soon(ish)...

and a high % of those people are poor, so they won't receive any meaningful medical care.

speaking as an 'uppity mental patient,' this is the time at which I"m even more thankful to -not- be in any sort of mental hospital (even the private ones are rough...they're run for profit, after all...) or...group homes. :-(

add in the large and (in many areas) growing homeless population, plus the grey population, that's sometimes in housing, other times...not...

ugh. this is decidedly -not- good. :-(
 
Kiwidan . . . I think the reason people are more concerned about this virus than the flu is because the flu has a vaccine to prevent the spread. We are all in God's hands right now.
I think you all are forgetting that the flu is not just one virus. The flu emcompasses many strains of viruses and while the vaccine is effective for some it is not effective for all of them. The flu vaccine does not prevent someone from contracting a flu, but it reduces the effects from some flu viruses because it introduces some antibodies into our system to help fight some and does nothing for others.

Also, coronavirus is not a flu so the flu vaccine does nothing for it either.

It sort of seems like a nastier version of the flu.
 
Has become the elephant in the room.
This is getting worse every day. Is America affected yet?
CORONA BEER KILLS MORE PEOPLE EVERYDAY! C'mon, folks, redeem the time; don't get bogged down with worries about tomorrow--we are Christians, for Christ's sake--and let's not spend our very limited, and precious time, caught up in the latest health fad, or disease fad, or any fad. No disrespect, just an opinion amongst opinions. God bless.
