Coronavirus



3 John 2 
King James Version (KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

It appears that I have been misled in posting the following statement. Thank you to my son-in-law for pointing out that 
I have been duped by another Urban Legend. 

See the following websites.

This has some good suggestions but it may well deceive you into complacency when you evaluate you own condition. Sorry for sharing it with you!!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS

Precautions 
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum you have the common cold.
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26 or 27 degrees (79 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit). It hates the sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours—so if you come into contact with any metal surface—wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours, normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes—but a lot can happen during that time—you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can’t emphasize enough—drink plenty of water.

Symptoms
1. It will first infect the throat, so you’ll have a sore throat lasting 3-4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes 5-6 days further.
3. With pneumonia comes high fever and difficult breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you’re drowning. It’s imperative that you then seek immediate attention.
