First to the serious stuff, because coronavirus is very serious. Countries are on lockdown. For someone like me with asthma problems and highly susceptible to lung issues, it can be deadly. For everyone, whistleblowers say catching it a second time is definitely deadly.

Our current case tracking shows we are on track with Italy’s rate infection. This map is from two days ago:

To be sure, the virus is being taken seriously in many factions of life. This past week, my own employer dismissed everyone with the mandate to work from home for a minimum of the next two weeks. Self quarantining is smart.

Below, Dr. John Campbell discusses the contradiction in the British government’s message versus the knowledge evolving from China’s experience, about managing the deadly coronavirus. Isolate the sick and self quarantine their social circle.

Everyone but Trump is taking it seriously . Trump message to the US is his usual plethora of misleading statements and false information. I don’t think that surprises anyone. Twitter is having a field day with his “testing flow chart,” including:

Robert Reich had this to share:

The stock market is having some crazy swings with coronavirus amongst our midst. Trump meets with Wall Street executives.

And humans have lost their damn minds! The hoarding, especially the hoarding of toilet paper is panic level.

You can’t order from Amazon for delivery.

Don’t think the richy rich aren’t capitalizing off this pandemic time either. With advice to quarantine for two weeks, let’s talk about Whole Foods, owned by amazon.com, and Jeff Bezos with a net work of over $100 billion dollars, who is asking employees to pool their sick leave and donate it to others.

Business as usual in the US it seems. (Unless your a small business owner, but I won’t go into the devastation playing out there in today’s post.)

How about before I close, I leave you with some kindness and beauty that has happened among the chaos. Italy has seen some of the worst of coronavirus and yet, their humanity shines through in this video below of a beautiful serenading happening while in quarantine. So gorgeous.

Coronavirus : le flashmob sonore des Italiens confinés
De leurs fenêtres, sur leurs balcons, les Italiens chantent contre l’ennui du confinement. Alors que l’épidémie de coronavirus frappe de plein fouet leur pays, les habitants de Rome, Palerme, Naples et des autres grandes villes de l’Italie ont entonné en chœur l’hymne national.

I hope you all are healthy, and you are doing all you can to minimize your own exposure and boost up your immune system. Myself, I’ve added Oil of Oregano, a prebiotic and sambucol gummies to my daily vitamin routine. Remember at the first sign you think you are going to get sick, put some hydrogen peroxide in your ear (no stronger than a 3% solution). Self isolate.
