Things to know about Coronavirus: Katrena William's opinion with a Bio-environmental Perspective

Coronavirus operates in the likes of an invisible spirit, in such it can go from person to person without a person even suspecting that 1.) they have or had it, and 2.) With or without symptoms (symptomatic or asymptomatic). The people with no symptoms are the main ones spreading the disease. The Centers for Disease control says this is why social distancing is the most effective. It recommends giving at least 6ft between person to person contact. There is much to be learned but it is possible that the virus can be spread from surface sharing, touching objects, handling food, and touching packaging i.e. from Amazon, or the post office, etc.

Be sure to keep in mind what exposure means versus contracting the virus; you may be in the room with a person with the Coronavirus and not contract it yourself; there must be a mode of transportation to the susceptible host via airborne, close contact, etc.

Since Friday, the US was around 2.5K cases and by Monday the number had doubled. Remember, you can be negative during a test but catch the virus 5 minutes later.

There is no cure for this virus, or pestilence in biblical terms but the blood of Jesus in my opinion.

In the interim, washing your hands for 20 seconds or more and avoiding people is best. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.

Coronavirus Incubation period info:

From the initial infection it takes about 3-12 days for symptoms to show, the next phase is the viral shedding period or the period in which you have the availability to infect others until the day you are cured is from day 3-14.

Symptoms are: Dry Couch, Shortness of Breath, fever, headache and muscle pain, and tiredness. The symptoms often start in the back of the neck with a dry cough. The virus usually stays upper respiratory due to the body’s immune system being able to contain it but once, or if, it gets lower and into the lungs, that’s when it becomes fatal.

**Grand-parents and great grand-parents should not be around children as the elderly are the most susceptible population. Children are the most asymptomatic due to the vibrancy of thier immune systems as compared to an elderly individual.

I hope this little bit helps
