Some COVID-19 Protection Tips that May be New to You

Because this reached me with no source noted, I submitted it to two scientists – one a virologist -- for their opinions.  Neither praised it, nor did they find anything wrong with the data.  See if you find something new that is helpful to you – as I did.  -LDM

*The Covid-19 virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code, (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

Faith-based Volunteers Stepping Forward and Working Tirelessly for Us

You may not have even heard of Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster – VOAD. Read what they are doing for us right now.  

March 26th, 2020. This is an update on the work of the 5-county VOAD Region 2 members servings since the earthquake (March 18) and the request last Tuesday (March 17) for VOAD partner help from Salt Lake County (SLCO) isolation/quarantine shelters.

*LDS Charities:  Donated pallet (#560 basic hygiene kits) to Salt Lake County for 5 Isolation/Quarantine Shelters (COVID-19)

*Salvation Army and Southern Baptists have been helping with meals since the earthquake (might be helping with Isolation/Quarantine Shelters also). The Salvation Army is opening rental and mortgage relief tomorrow (Wednesday) for the State to be managed out of the SLC office.

Of Course, We Will Get Through This

• Please share in my confidence that our government and health department professionals are approaching the CV-19 with expertise and compassion.  As resources build, they will do even Better.

• There are some medical stop-gaps interventions that are being considered. This article reports on Johns Hopkins University’s effort to meet federal regulatory steps to fast track clinical trials for a possible stop-gap prevention or treatment COVID-19. https://www.globalhealthnow.org/2020-03/covid-19s-stop-gap-solution-until-vaccines-and-antivirals-are-ready 

Quarantine at home? Self-monitoring? Sheltering at home?

“From Natural News.com.  Both self-quarantining and self-monitoring have one goal: To keep individuals “who have been exposed, or who might have been exposed, away from others as much as possible” for a certain length of time.”

In the case of coronavirus, this often means 14 days (or the suspected incubation period of the disease.) Patients may not experience symptoms in the first several days after exposure; It can take up to 5 days for symptoms to appear.

When self-monitoring, you need to regularly check your temperature and take note of any signs of respiratory illness, like cough, fever or shortness of breath. You also need to limit your interaction with other people.”

Keeping you Informed about Food Supply

• Food producers and supply chain managers say there is generally enough nonperishable food on shelves, in warehouses and on the production line to last several months. But labor shortages due to a shut-down, illness or travel restrictions could create localized supply disruptions.
• The challenge could soon be getting that food to the right places once local distribution centers are wiped out.
• In addition, millions of Americans, who previously got food at restaurants or in school or at work cafeterias, will have to serve themselves at home, with food bought from grocery big-box enterprises.
• "The replenishment cycle is going to be the real test here," said Sean Maharaj, a supply chain expert and managing director at AArete, a consulting firm in Chicago. "Manufacturers don't sit on a lot of extra inventory, so what do you do when everything you have is depleted?"
• Beyond that, industry officials acknowledge some uncertainty about how exactly they will be able to replenish their stocks if factories and ports worldwide are short-staffed.
• Over the past decade, retailers have moved aggressively to become more efficient by slimming down on inventory instead of stockpiling in warehouses.
• "Turns out Just In Time delivery systems have a downside," said Maharaj.

Federal Government to Oversee Food Distribution and Security

Breaking News from Mike Adams at Natural.news.com

The US government is just days away from rolling out coordination and security oversight of the national food distribution networks, according to a high-level source who spoke with Natural News.

The food supplies will keep flowing, and the federal government will be coordinating and offering security to make sure the private grocery chains maintain food supplies.

We are told this is in the final stages of being completed, with some measure of rollout to begin as early as just a few days from now in at least one region of the country.
