Covid-19 and Coronavirus:  What we know now

Keep good thoughts because there’s unlimited good in the universe. This is not the last word you’ll want to read, keep up with the news on a public radio, public TV, Newspapers, science magazines etc.  Please remember that some news seems to be more of a sales pitch than news.  If you listen to the shock radio common-tators do it with an ear to reality.  You can check the things they say.   Dr. Fauci is a good person to listen to.

Please connect with family, friends, and yes neighbors to be sure they are either well (Healthy) or taken good care of.  We have a green placard on our front door to indicate all’s well.  Yellow would mean trouble and red is stop there is a major problem. 

1.  The virus lives about 3 days on stainless steeland other hard items .  It may last on an item like a mask.  Therefore, you’ll want to rotate masks every 4 days.  Wear your mask everywhere.  Repeat wear your mask.  Daughter Sharon makes them with hepa-filters.  If you want one let us know and I’ll have her call you.   focusupphilosophers@gmail.com    When you are out and about and you may have touched something compromised, do not touch your face. 
2. Keep physical distance of 6 ft. or 2 meters when walking, talking and around any other people.  When exercising or running we recommend 10 feet or 3 meters separation.  These are good ballpark figures.  If you have any concerns err on the side of caution.  We would rather have people alive and well making good decisions on their health and for the health of others.
3. What we know now is that the virus is contained in the droplets that come out of our mouths and maybe nose when we cough or sneeze.  These droplets are heavier than air and fall on items around the sneezer or cougher.  If what we believe is true they can be harmful for three days. The item with droplets can transmit the virus.  Seems that raw cardboard boxes might have a shorter time of possibly transmitting the infectious virus. Be cautious with anything you bring into your dwelling place. Our medical friends say that to err on the side of caution is a good error. So take their advice if you make mistakes and are healthy… Hooray! We are reading and seeing people disregarding mask and other guidelines. We wonder how good of an example they are setting for others who might be in jeopardy? I asked about microwaving if that stops it? Since it is not a living entity maybe not was my thought. A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates inside cells of myriads of life forms.
4. We said earlier, in a previous message, wash hands for 1 minute with soap and water when coming back in from outside, in stores or being with other people.   The Coronavirus seems to be stopped with one-minute soap washing.  Wash those hands often.  Alcohol also stops it.  Keeping hands washed, and packages, if needed, from stores or delivery is a good idea.  
5. An immunologist tells that there are tests for antibodies to the Coronavirus.  There are about 99 approved.  The FDA has tried to test them, but not all tests are accurate.  It seems the ones from America are better, yet there may be good and bad results.  You may not want to test for antibodies at this time.  Antibody tests are unreliable.
6. There are people who may get the Coronavirus twice.  Antibodies may help, yet there is inconclusive evidence or reliability as of now. Catching it once does not seem to mean you can’t get it again
7. I saw 2 people in a store who had been tested for Covid-19.  In fact both people had been tested twice.  They work with people and do not want their clients to be infected.  Nor do they want themselves catching it.  They said the test was fairly brutal.  The swab was inserted up their nose way too far for comfort.  The gentleman said they must’ve wanted to touch his brain.  
8. Medical professionals are telling us to clean and disinfect daily.  If you have kept physical distance like in number two above, you are doing a good job.  Things you want to make sure are cleaned and disinfected are: Wallet, watch, keys, glasses, cell phone and any hard surface item you carry out into the world of effects. (The real world outside where people go)
9. There is an FDA approval for Remdesivir.  It seems to lessen the healing time and effects of serious cases of Coronavirus. 
10. The bottom line is you do not want the Coronavirus inside your body.  Be safe, be cautious, and let us know how you are.    We are holding and sending good thoughts to and for people all the time.  Any of you who want to offer us support, please let us know.
