    Agreed. I have a very hard time trusting any government - yes, this includes Austria, by the way (Holocaust involvement and inability to fess up to it's involvement therein until very recently with the Sebastian Kurz government). Because of this I of course try to keep up with what the media is saying.....taken with a huge boulder of salt and a dose of herbal over the counter immune boosters. I know of a gloom porn site (if you depress easily, don't check it out), The Economic Collapse Blog, that claims that the death count and infected counts are realistically much higher. There is also leaked video of the inside of the hospital in Wuhan with scores of sick folks clogging the aisles and supposedly three deceased patients and no one to deal with the bodies. Very very creepy.

    My advice? Herbal immunity boosters.....I don't know what else one can do at this point but I'd also be avoiding travel right now, too - though I still would go to Mexico (at the moment) until such a date as the virus wreaks havoc there. Ay carumba.....those who don't like everything being made in China? Perhaps in the future not as much will indeed be made there? Maybe Central America could be the low wage manufacturing hub in the future? Such might keep migrants away from the border and would serve to give this area desperately needed jobs. Rob

    It's never a bad idea to bolster your immunity with foods and supplements--and keep your microbiome--the foundation of immunity--happy with fermented foods and pre-and pro-biotics.

    Rob,
    I am disappointed if that doom and gloom website you mention doesn't implicate a deliberately engineered virus, developed from HIV, as the conovirus. Doomdayers are nothing without their conspiracy theories.

    Sorry to disappoint, IL. No such claims have been made by this site - to date, anyway. Rob

    Made a doctor appointment for tomorrow. 2 months of coughing is getting old and I have had a bad headache all day that aspirin won’t fix and my BP is high.

    Over 20,000 cases now despite the quarantine of millions, face masks, airport screenings, flight cancellations and so on.

    I thought this was an excellent NPR article about why the coronavirus is different than the flu and why so many precautions are being taken. I thought it put some of the unknowns into a perspective that is neither panicky or passive.

    Hope the dr visit did some good and you are on your way to feeling better.

    According to Al-Jazeera, China is speed-building hospitals to treat the afflicted. First time I've heard of that happening.

    Johns Hopkins posts current total number of case, number of deaths, and number recovered, and also breaks them down by country along with an interactive map. At least so far there doesn't appear to be any big escalations outside of mainland China. Unfortunately, the chart showing number of cases by day is not leveling off.
