Hello everyone,
As we all are seeing hints of spring, daffodils , robins, warmer weather, we are keenly aware of some worry and anxiety from the Coronavirus.
The following is an article that is an interesting read:
Practical advise from a Doctor at the Shenzhen Hospital,Guangdong Province,China "( a key part of China s health-care system)" Wall Street Journal..
If you have a runny nose and sputum during a cold , most likely it is not coronavirus.
It is recommended to drink cups of hot water or tea. Get in the sun when possible, know when you don t feel good that a hot drink is better than icy.
Doctors s say that the virus is large cell - so masks can help protect, but if someone sneezes near you, it will take bout 10 feet to hit the ground. so no longer airborne
The virus can live on metal surfaces for 12 hrs. therefore wash hands with soap and water if you have touched metal. and can remain on fabric for 6 to 12 hours but washing that clothing in hot water, should kill virus.
Symptoms.. first infects throat, will be dry and last 4 days
then blend into nasal psg. and drain into lungs causing pneumonia process is 5 days. High Fever , w/difficulty in breathing.
Its important to know your body and take care of yourself, while taking precaution, still we have to live our daily lives,
Finally, let us not forget that Joe Pilates was in a war camp during the 1920 s and that s when the terrible Pandemic influenza was spreading across the world. He began a lot of his work in this prison ,helping fellow prisoners to move breathe and be stronger , and it is known fact , the people he directly did his exercises with, escaped the virus and became stronger.
