This article was written not to scare but to prepare YOU!!!!
The following is some of my research to date on COVID-19. At this moment, time is of the essence, so it seems better to release what is known and give some opinion from someone who knows traditional medicine as well as herbal medicine.
For all physicians, there is a time to reassure and calm, but there is also a time to warn, and even increase concern—to realistic and appropriate levels. The time has come to increase concern so the public can take proper precautions. Not preparing could be dangerous to fatal, especially for the elderly and or those with significant disease. Our hospitals, healthcare professionals, healthcare facilities and our government will not be able to handle the volume nor the severity of a true pandemic. So you will have to be on your own to some degree with COVID-19 if it happens to be as severe as many have predicted. It is time to become knowledgeable and educated on protocols to help protect and prevent yourself and others from catching this virus. Everyone needs to realize this likelihood and take proper precautions. Knowledge, especially in this instance, is power. BE PREPARED.
This is a bad bug! It probably will not kill you, unfortunately you will probably know one or two people who will die from this virus in the next 2 years. They will probably be older than 70 or have other serious medical conditions. It is very rare for young people to have died from this virus, but there have been some cases of death in the younger population.
The following is some of my research to date. It is based on seriously limited information about COVID-19 (coronavirus 2019) disease and my opinion based on theories about this disease. The data that is coming out of China and currently the United States is markedly inadequate. I believe this is for varying reasons: 1) We have little knowledge of this disease and are learning more and more on the go, 2) Most people in government are wanting to avoid a population fear factor, 3) The Chinese and the USA are not testing and or not reporting their numbers any more over the last few weeks (we know however with our knowledge of how it has spread - this is not reality… it is not contained) and, 4) We have limited numbers of test kits for this virus in the US and probably China too, therefore only a fraction of the population is being tested and those mild or even moderate cases are being under reported or not at all.
The test kits for many states are unavailable and inadequate; therefore, many health departments are only testing severe cases. That leaves us with no real knowledge of the numbers of milder cases. For example, in the entire state of Alaska there are currently only 50 test kits for over a million people(3/1/20).Without the proper number of kits to test our citizens, we cannot have adequate knowledge of the spread of this disease. To put it bluntly- we have no clue what is really happening in the trenches. With the CDC current testing requirements of only screening severe cases, this means that many mild cases to even moderate cases in the US are being grossly under reported. (Recently the CDC has liberalized the testing requirements, however they still do not recommend testing for asymptomatic or very mild cases.) Which in turn means these undetected cases are infecting others without the knowledge that they themselves are infected.
The coronavirus has been around for many years but in a much less virulent stage. The new coronavirus, COVID-19, has mutated to a degree that is easily transmittable between people. It is spreading around the world and will be here if it is not already here in your backyard. People falsely describe that the coronavirus is not as severe as the influenza virus, because the influenza virus kills about 200,000 people every year. In its short term existence in humans in the last two months (as of 3/1/20)it has killed approximately 3000 people. The potential for this coronavirus to kill many more is readily apparent. Based on current death rates, this virus has the potential over the next 2 years to kill close to 25 million people or even more.
Learning what you might do to decrease your chances of contracting COVID-19, decrease its severity, and treatment of the virus with both orthodox and alternative measures - should be in everyone’s tool box.
What little facts that we know about this virus to date (as of 3/2/ 2020) COVID-19 appears to be easily transmitted between people. The exact mode of transmission is not well worked out. Originally it appeared it may possibly be more transmittable by touching objects rather than contacting it through the air but now air transmissions per reports are likely . Therefore wear masks. . Good hand washing technique is important and wearing a mask is probably helpful but not 100% . The recommendations at this time are to wear an N95 or R95 mask if you were with 6-10 feet of people. Presently, research is suggesting that touching things that other people have coughed on or touched appears to be a likely way to be infected. The virus may survive on surfaces for a few hours to up to a week. Therefore, good handwashing techniques with a 20 second wash with regular soap or antibacterial soap, and avoid touching your face in any capacity that includes your ears, hair, and especially your nose, mouth and chin are the best way to prevent you getting this virus. If you have the disease it is more important to place a mask on the person who has the disease thus limiting their coughing and spreading it and on you. A surgical mask will help but an N95 mask is better if fitted properly. The virus itself is less than 1 micron in size and the N95 only filters down to 3-5 microns. Therefore, the virus can pass through a N95 mask in the right settings. That being said, it seems the masks do reduce the risk by catching some of the viral particles.
Spread of the virus currently seems mostly human to human. You can get the virus by touching objects that have the virus. It appears that it may stay alive on metal surfaces up to 2 hours, but on cardboard and other porous surfaces for a day to days. Some say up to 9 days at room temperature. As I discussed above avoiding contact with people and good handwashing technique appear to be the best way to decrease your chance of getting this virus. Unfortunately, this virus appears to be spreading in people who are fairly asymptomatic. ( up to 48% in an Icelandic study) Some of these people have minimal symptoms but others appear to have a delayed reaction to their symptoms. It appears that there is may be an eight-day window of time and maybe up to 14 days where you can spread the virus without even knowing you are sick. This makes it difficult for us to prevent the spread of this disease.
It appears that COVID-19 spreads at an infection rate of about 2 .5 people for every person that gets this virus. When you look at influenza virus its infection rate is about 1.2 times. I would imagine as we get more detailed information about asymptomatic people that this infection rate of 2.5 will go up most likely almost double to approximately five. At the present date (3/02/20) there are a couple cases in California, Oregon and a few deaths and a number of cases in Washington that have been shown to not have a primary contact that has come from Asia. When considering just these few cases the probability there are now close to 20 to 50 people that are infected spreading this disease.
It appears that there are a few people, about 3 to date, that may catch the disease a second time. This is troubling because this may very well mean we might not build immunity to this disease, or the virus can mutate very rapidly ( this is probably not the case as of 3/30/20 thank goodness) or we are carriers of the disease and may re-infect ourselves and others. There has been a proven case of a carrier in China who has continued to test positive for the virus for over two months after ceasing symptoms.
The more prominent questions are how to slow the progression of this disease so our health system can respond without being inundated, and how can we prevent some of the more serious complications that could arise with our limited knowledge and current means, and how to develop treatments for the disease ?
Review of the disease: When one gets this virus there are very few or no symptoms. Most people will be asymptomatic and spread the disease for a few days and possibly even up to 14 days after exposure. Many and most people do not have any symptoms much worse than the common cold. However, one of the distinguishing features of this disease unlike the common cold, it is unlikely to cause a runny nose . Research is showing that most people do not know they have the disease until they get high fevers above 100.5°F, aching muscles or cough and then become aware that they might have contracted COVID-19. Most people may have no other symptoms and recover at this stage on their own. For those people who do not recover on their own, the virus progresses going deep into the lungs causing more serious symptoms which may requires hospitalization. Patients having shortness of breath, lower oxygen levels (
