Agree with Belage.

Entire South India is in Lock Down till March 31st. This the only way to Flatten the Curve.

But for those infected, we have to encourage them to try everything for relief along with Anti-Virals and Anti-Biotics.
The Virus dies at 60 degrees Celcius.

So Steam inhalation with natural anti-virals [Eucalyptus oil, "Neem Oil", Onion Seed Oil etc] might help prevent the Virus from attacking the lungs.

Vitamin C intake has to be maxed [8 to 10 grams] a day to boost natural immunity as well. Flax Powder can be taken for organic Herbacetin.

We have to do whatever it takes.

When I remember to, I’ve had a daily multivitamin gummy, a somewhat large dose of Vitamin D, milk thistle for my liver (because I’ve been taking Tylenol PM), echinacea and goldenseal. I also have raw honey, and lemon juice, but haven’t used them yet. I have envelopes of vitamin c powder, but something in them made me dizzy last year.

Oh, and rehydration drinks/powder. I’ve made sure to drink them a few times a week, because when I get sick a lot (stomach), I get dehydrated. So that may have helped to keep my cold really mild last week.

I can't believe I actually assumed that the people he surrounded himself with, would have this handled, when we first started to hear about it.

This would cover the last four years:

from email I received from
The Carter Center
March 24, 2020

Message from President and Mrs. Carter and Board Chair Jason Carter

QUOTE

As you are well aware, our country is facing a health crisis. Though the behaviors of COVID-19 are not fully known, what we do know makes it a global threat to our physical and economic health.

We all have every confidence that we will come together as a nation and overcome this invisible threat. This virus and its impact must be addressed at every level of government and society. Each of us is gratified at the examples of volunteers and community organizations that have quickly mobilized to help those in need.

It is in this spirit that we ask you to forgo your next gift for the work of The Carter Center and direct it to a local group that is reducing the suffering caused by this pandemic. Each of us asks you to concentrate on the needs of your family, friends, neighbors, and all in your community. Your commitment will help stop this threat.

With thanks and best wishes,
Jimmy, Rosalynn, and Jason

I wouldn't know. I wouldn't be caught dead on Twitter...or Facebook either.

If I want to know what President Trump is doing..or thinking, I can watch him several times a day on national television, plus all those emails his campaign sends me every day.

But, some of the most stupid things ever said are on Twitter and Facebook. I know that because some people here post them. Additionally, the more stupid and outrageous comments from Twitter and Facebook appear on websites I visit. All I can say is...I'm glad those leftist loons are your boys and girls. Rational people wouldn't have anything to do with them.

This is very scary. There were 5000 Sailors on that Carrier.

This does not look like "Community Transmission" to me. More like a sneak attack.

Packing people into Churches on Easter is a BAD Idea. One carrier per Church is all it takes to undo the previous 6 weeks of effort.

No, I don't remember President Trump saying the coronavirus was a democrat hoax...AND NEITHER DO YOU BECAUSE HE NEVER SAID THAT.

Poor leftist. How many times does something have to be debunked before you finally stop repeating the lie?

Btw, are you related to teasel? She gets lies stuck in her mind and keeps repeating them too.

Our globalist, totalitarian economy should not be salvaged in its present form. And if it needs to fall apart before it is gutted and God willing reworked, so be it.

Documented Timeline of Trump's comments on COVID-19 in February:
Feb. 7 (tweet): ”… as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone.”

Feb. 10: “I think the virus is going to be — it’s going to be fine.”

Feb. 14: “We have a very small number of people in the country, right now, with it. It’s like around 12. Many of them are getting better. Some are fully recovered already. So we’re in very good shape.”

Feb. 19: “I think it’s going to work out fine. I think when we get into April, in the warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on that and that type of a virus. So let’s see what happens, but I think it’s going to work out fine.”

Feb. 24 (tweet): “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. … Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

Feb. 25: “You may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country. We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are … getting better. They’re all getting better. … As far as what we’re doing with the new virus, I think that we’re doing a great job.”

Feb. 26: “Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. … When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”

Feb. 28: “I think it’s really going well. … We’re prepared for the worst, but we think we’re going to be very fortunate.”

Feb. 28: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

Feb. 28: “This is their new hoax.”
=========================================

Trump slept overconfidently in February and you see the consequences in March.
Heading towards 100,000 Cases already.

Epic Failure. The excess money printing, way beyond anything Obama could do, is the last hope to salvage the Economy, assuming COVID-19 vanishes by April 15th from USA.

If cases cross 1 million by May, then Dow Jones will not sustain 20K and Unemployment will increase to 5 million.
