I wish CNN and other media sources would quit saying there are no studies proven to show xyz supplements work to treat coronavirus. No kidding, it’s a new virus and there are no studies proven to show anything including pharmaceutical drugs work. Let us boost our immune systems in peace.

Let them keep saying it so there wont be such a shortage of the supplements. You see what happened to the drug that cures it from Africa. Chloroquin, everybody started ordering it. That is what the chinese are using in the vaccine. Just thinking about it Africa had the cure the whole time.

Can you provide some detail, please? Is this the drug that is used to treat malaria?

To put things in perspective, Italy had its first confirmed case of the virus on February 20th, 2020. Yesterday, March 21st, 2020, just 30 days later, they had approximately 5000 deaths, with approximately 800 deaths in one night, last night. As of this minute, today, they have approximately 54,000 confirmed cases. The virus moves fast. That's a time frame of only four (4) weeks from patient one to today.

When you go out:
  • Wear your masks when you are out.
  • Googles if possible.
  • Cotton balls in ears with a drop of essential oil. Make sure the part of the cotton ball is with the essential oil is on the outside of the ear.
  • Use hand sanitizer.
  • Cover your hair.
When you return to your home:
  • Wipe down your inside door handles and lock.
  • Wipe down your jackets, purses, outer wear, keys , shoes and telephones when you come back to the house.
  • Rinse your face.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water.
  • Flush your eyes and nose as part of your cleansing routine.
  • Wipe down your faucets and doors and light switches that led into the bathroom or place where you washed your hands and face.
  • Drink a cleansing tea as mentioned above by someone in another post.
  • At minimum, have some water.

Yes it is, one black lady got on TV and said that is what she used and to not be worried. I was at work and only heard a piece of it. The other nurse told me that is what the lady said she used. Well less than 24 hours later the drug was trending and the news started writing reports about it and how the chinese said it is effective.

Did some grocery shopping this morning. Wore mask and gloves. Store pretty well stocked and not crowded. Roughly 5% of customers wore masks. None of the employees tho.

My niece was feeling better yesterday. Her room mate insists on inviting friends over to hang out despite niece asking her not to. I told her to just tell those people she has the virus. Or have a coughing fit in the living room.

What meds did you take? My sniffling stopped but I’m not taking any chances.

I was taking Dayquil and Nyquil when I was trying to combat this thing on my own, but they prescribed Sudafed - Blocked Nose. I was like "seriously?" but it is working. The head cold is drying up and I'm kinda ready to head back to work tomorrow. (sort of) hth

I garage my car so I disinfect every time I’m in there. I was at a red light using a wipe (I was wearing gloves). This guy in the car next to me was staring, then he ran the light! White people are so fear based.
They have no middle ground. Either they are super scared or don't take it seriously at all. A friend of mine's mom just got notified that someone where she works tested positive, so NOW she's taking it seriously. Her daughter tried to tell her. :nono: Hopefully she dodges 'Rona.

Thank you. I think it was paranoia coupled with the heat they were pumping in my building. I feel fine and no sniffling. I went out for a walk and I got a pic for you guys because I live near a testing site. Will post separately.

FF2FBCEA-21F2-4C45-A35E-D51C6DB7E512.jpeg This pic is from a testing site on the border of Pelham and New Rochelle NY. I was way back but zoomed in. There were about 11 cars lined up and people were still coming. It didn’t seem that crowded but this is just to get over a bridge. There’s a huge park on the other side and I wasn’t going that far down. The road is blocked and it looked like a cop standing there.

I stood there thinking...Lawd....some of these people may have it and not make it. The signs blinking were the numbers to call for an appointment and also telling folks to have their ID.

Do you all think something is fishy with china? Like, how do you have 1.3 billion people, and italy somehow has more cases? Very, ODD.
I don’t think China is lying. Have you see live footage of China? They are on lockdown. Major cities are ghost towns. Everybody is inside and staying put. It’s harder to spread when there is no one to spread it to.

China has been dishonest about the actual numbers for sure, but the extreme lockdown probably has slowed it down tremendously. Italians were slow to implement protective measures though - social media this week has been filled with Italian people sending warning messages to the world to be more proactive.

China isn’t playing. Their citizens don’t have the option of defying a lockdown order. When everyone is compliant by force I suspect numbers will drop off dramatically.

From CNN: 12-year-old girl with coronavirus is on a ventilator and fighting for her life
12-year-old girl with coronavirus is on a ventilator and fighting for her life
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/22/us/georgia-coronavirus-girl-hospitalized/index.html

Y'all my neighbors were out in our neighborhood common area partying yesterday. Playing games, kids riding tricycles together, parents drinking. There were 1 and 2 year-olds out there. Pure foolishness. It's selfish to continue to go out anyway, but to have your kids out...it's insane. All white people.

Then of course this article came out, this little girl is fighting for her life, in the same state where I live.
