Hope all of you remain safe in the face of the Corina Virus threat. The number of cases of Corina virus and even deaths still pales compared to the flu. Unfortunately , the threat of widespread viral spread is real. The illness tends to attack the lungs preferentially and is particularly dangerous to the older members of our society and the immunocompromised. The incubation period is up to two weeks. Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recommended Sunday that elderly and vulnerable Americans limit their exposure to travel and large crowds as the world fights the coronavirus outbreak.“I would like to see a dramatic diminution of the personal interaction that we see in restaurants and in bars,” he said. “Whatever it takes to do that, that's what I would like to see.” “You are not immune or safe from getting seriously ill,” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked if younger Americans should be concerned about contracting the virus, which Fauci has repeatedly said is more lethal than the average flu. He also pointed out that young people could be carriers to their relatives. PLEASE STAY HOME / self quarantine if in doubt. DO NOT BE SELFISH. We will have to avoid large groups. THIS VIRUS has the potential to overwhelm our medical system. SPAIN, ITALY and FRANCE have all but shuttered their doors. |
