CoronoVirus

This was posted in the New York Times newspaper’s website on February 3 2020 “Coronavirus Live Updates: China Death Toll Is Greater Than in SARS Outbreak”.  Not only is it hitting Asia hard, but it has started showing up in the USA.

Supposedly this virus popped up only this past December. As of Feb 2 2020, China had 17,205 confirmed infections. USA has 11.
 
I am glad that the fatality rate is relatively low, but that the possibility of a disease to spread that quickly, that far … well, we should all pay attention to getting our health and immune system to the best possible.
 
My son and I both have compromised immune systems, for a variety of reasons. We keep away from other people (as much as possible) during flu season, take elderberry, garlic, vitamin c, and increase our fruits and veggies intake. When we can’t avoid going out, we wear masks, and I always wear gloves.
 
Be careful, please.
