Propaganda alert! Propaganda alert!
That white doctor was completely wrong. It’s a community infection. You don’t have to have known contact with someone who had corona…
We the crazy conspiracy theorist warned you that it would spread like this but you didn't listen welcome to Agenda 21 sheep
Low risk of death? Not if you're elderly, then it's pretty much a death sentence. I'm sick of this nonsense claiming this is no big deal.
If you want to earn some USD with masks but don't have any, please contact me at ckamt4@outlook.com, low price and plenty
WHERE'S BILL GATES WHEN
YOU NEED HIM MOST! 😷
Stay home what about job protecting? Some companies will work you until you die. This is the USA people must go to work everyday to pay bills.
There are 40 Students returning from South Korea to the University of Alabama here in Tuscaloosa. No one has been able to tell us anything about these returning students. To hear this Ashton woman try and downplay how serious this disease is, is amazing. Like Nicos Papa said, people are waking up about their Gov'ts! And no Mike Pence, apparently we're NOT ready! lol
Wake up US, what you are saying is exactly what China said, Korea said, Japan said, and the rest of the world. Lets learn from their mistakes, not repeat what they said
Covid19 is going to redefine US medicine…toilet
Hurry up, run to no one's place, now there is no safe place, the rich people are not afraid! We have no insurance, what to do! Who can we trust, so scared!
So, forget about officially investigating every single infected person’s other contacts. Move on to prevention information saturation, and focus on testing and treatment.
And one doctor said that we need to go to dependable resources for our info, then gives examples while excluding ABC. Hahha 🤣🤣🤣
Btw, these 2 "doctors" are corporate shills and dumb. No medical professional calls it "coronavirus." They use the proper label, Covid-19. Also, google these bitches. Lol
So, you're telling me that it took almost a year to develop efficient testing procedures??? Also, haven't we seen infections unrelated to any sources stated in this report?? Remove profit from these tests and we can test anyone, regardless of the what symptoms they're showing or where they've been. Not to mention, they are telling people to "not get tested" unless they meet a certain criteria…. weird
I wish when AIDS came out everybody would have got text tested and been more proactive but you know the government has something to do with thatanyway so here we go get a bottle of Lysol people look on the back and kills coronavirus wash your hands stay out of people's face period
That would be funny if the American people didn't go to work for yall sorry mf's
Response as a group leader, teacher, first responder, office head.
If someone is coughing, sneezing, feverous, looks sick.
Immediately instruct that person to move away from all others at least 6 feet and put on a surgical mask, even better have them put on a N95 mask assuming your organization has prepared for such an event.
Ask everyone in the room to NOT touch their faces, nose or eyes and go wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water and remain in the foyer or hallway and do not re-enter that room. Have them pick a group leader and make a list of everyone who was in the room with contact information. And wait for instructions.
Ask the sick person to make a list of where they came from, who they had close contact with including bus and train commutes family members they have been close with, , stores they were in, coffee, grocery, etc and any trips out of the area they did within the last 14 days.
Call the Emergency response authority for your office, school, church. If no one knows who to call, call 911 and ask them what to do next.
They way this virus works is its VERY infectious and someone carrying it is infectious every without symptoms. It will have a VRY high risk of causing serious illness and death to anyone exposed. The elderly and people with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of death buy even healthy people will die from it. For each person with the virus they will infect at least 2 to 3 others. There is no cure, there is no treatment other than critical care support, there is no vaccine. If a vaccine is found it will take at least mid April to confirm it works and maybe 6 more months to make enough vaccine to distribute to health centers. Once the vaccine is available get it quick, don't mess around.
The most probable place to be exposed to virus is in public areas, emergency rooms, blood test centers. Hard surfaces with the virus on it will be contaminated for at least 48 hours. Soft surfaces maybe stay contaminated for 12 hours.
3% hydrogen peroxide sold in grocery stores should kill the virus, get a small spray bottle full of it for use in places you suspect were exposed, spray and wipe off after a minute. You can rinse you hands with it and any surface that is ok to get wet for a short or long time. Leave it on for at least a minute and wipe off.
They say rubbing alcohol will kill it but don't count on it. If nothing else use it full strength. Alcohol is flammable, will burn your eyes and will cause your to caught if inhaled. Hydrogen Peroxide is safer and cheaper.
Chlorine bleach should kill it but it will damage clothing and irritate skin. Not sure of the strength needed I would use at least a 5% solution as a start. That is pure from the bottle, take once ounce and mix with 90 to 95 ounces of water. Do not use this on eyes or inhale but should be good to wipe down tables, door knobs, etc. Do not use on clothing or skin it will bleach the garments and give you a rash if left on for more than a few minute.
Use common sense, do not listen to individuals who are not properly trained. Until this peaks and a cure is found be prepared to work at home or take leave if your work places are not prepared.
Lies lies lies lies lies
At what point do you keep your kids home from school?
