lcscats Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 If you want to do something work to improve your immune system. Hundreds of pages on internet relating to doing this. Yes lab tests do show how good your immune system is. Thats where I am putting my money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukiyo Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Greetings from Tokio where Corona Virus is going around for now. We feel sorry but we could not be snow birds this time. Fortunately, I have not heard any news about Corona things in Mexico except beers so far. Here are few things I would like to mention from what I have heard about Corona virus. FYI, I had been in a medical field for many years so I will try to be neutral. As of today, # of infected person in Japan: 170 , # of death: 1 (80yrs old lady) # of recovered: 23 excluding 691 infected and 3 died passengers on board. # of int'l infected: 79,391 , # of deceased 2,696 , # of recovered 27,878 Death rate is not big as of SARS for now. But the death rate of elderly person with diabetes, coronary and/or pulmonary diseases is well over 80%. Infectivity of Corona is much much stronger than SARS. As 80% of infected person get slight attack and/or no symptom. Incubation periods vary for 5~6 days and 2 weeks. So you may have a great chance to get infected or transfer the virus to the other without awareness. It is very difficult to identify the chain of infections. Do not take this too serious but do not underestimate Corona virus which, I hope not but I am sure, will be arisen soon in Mexico. My advice to you: Go and get a bottle of ethanol disinfectant diluted with water (not 100% pure one that is less potent). Wash your hands with disinfectant. Once you hear the news in Mexico, stay away from the crowd and be a hermit until this incident is over. Personally, I doubt the effectively of masks with regard to the virus. Have a good day and buena suerte! 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Thank you Ukiyo for a great report and summary. This is not the black plague, folks. Keep breathing and take sensible precautions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine59 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Just a heads up. Two cases have been confirmed in Mexico, one in CDMX and one in Sinaloa. The gentleman from Sinaloa flew into Guadalajara airport on Thursday from Italy before flying to Sinaloa according to Mileno News. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBee Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 So there is a bright side to this virus (cartel member maybe ?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Today I thought it might be good idea buy some disinfectant hand wash with alcohol. Went to Walmart but had trouble finding any, then I saw a Mexican gentleman with a cart full of Lysol spray and bottles of the hand wash. He was kind enough to show where the two remaining bottles were. Am I right in thinking that the low humidity here will help slow the spread of the virus ? I've heard that it requires droplets of moisture to live in which should dry out faster here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be fine. Respirators, unless they are fit to your face to be air tight are not effective because as you breath in it pulls air in from around the mask. Yes, wash your hands often, cough/sneeze into your elbow, and train yourself not to touch your face (especially eyes) with your hands (harder than it sounds). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally survival rate of virus is higher with lower temp and lower humidity. That's why we see much flu in winter time. per G.J. Harper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2134455/ However new research shows different results. as per Karen Kormuth et al https://pmc.carenet.com/?pmid=29878137 Anyway we'd use commonsense caution around. It is getting pandemic worldwidely. It is not wise or distant to compare with other virus such as flu spreaded in the States. I am happy to tell you that I am still a ok except my stocks on the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I read where 16% of Americans believe that Coronavirus is related to Corona beer. That's scarier than the virus itself. These people are allowed to vote?? Corona beer virus 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I am lucky, if it comes to that, I brought down my 3M PAPR respirator with extra batteries and HEPA filters. Blows wonderful cool air on your face when you are working in dusty environments. Has a sort of Star Wars look to it too. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/All-3M-Products/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Powered-Supplied-Air-Respirators/?N=5002385+8711017+8720539+8720547+3294857497&rt=r3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slainte39 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I sure hope Eric has willed his brain to some elite university for study at the time of his demise. It will truly be a unique thing for research. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
