Resuming Life:

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.

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.”
