Choking dealing with

Leave a reply

autopsy lungsAs we head into the Holiday season it is time to review and ponder

CHOKING___ are we really doing enough to keep our little ones [This applies to ADULTS TOO ] safe at home?

This is a picture of the lungs of a small child who died of suffocation. It is a peanut. Peanuts and other nuts are the size of the airway of a child younger than 4 to 5 years. Hot dogs, grapes and life saver candies are the greatest offenders.
The risk of death from suffocation is real, but it is avoidable. PLEASE DO NOT OFFER TO SMALL CHILDREN: WHOLE DRY FRUITS, POPCORN, NUTS NOR ANY FOOD THAT MAY RESEMBLE SIZE TO SMALL CANDIES.
It’s time to learn some first aid maneuvers and preventative measures.
Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver or Heimlich maneuver, is a first-aid procedure used to treat upper-airway obstructions (or choking) by foreign objects. American doctor Henry Heimlich is often credited for its creation. To performing abdominal thrusts, a rescuer stands behind a choking victim and using the hands to exert pressure on the bottom of the diaphragm. This compresses the lungs and exerts pressure the object lodged in the trachea in an effort to expel it.
*** Many people are still advocating back blows for choking adults thinking that it helps to expel objects….  HOWEVER if you look at the physics involved you will realize why back blows do NOT work…  a practical experiment to so this is by use of a wood handled hammer. How do you tighten a loose hammer head?  You bang the hammer down on something hard and immovable –handle first– this forces the head tighter onto the handle. [[Ask an OLD person about this]]
IF you are alone, you can still use modified Abdominal thrusts by ‘bouncing’ your belly on the back of a chair which will squeeze your lungs and hopefully pop the offending item out of your airway.
For the victim, SLOW down and pay attention to what you are doing. Take smaller bites and CHEW your food well! Have a drink close by to help you swallow.  WHEN you start to choke PUT DOWN what ever you have in your hands instead of dividing your attention to what is going on. When possible, dine with a friend [IE avoid eating alone] ALL food should be finely cut to decrease the size so it is easier to chew and swallow.
Statistically you will have to respond to a friend or family member more often than a stranger. UNLESS you are a first responder or daycare provider. Choking happens more often when you are distracted, so pay attention. IF you are under the influence of medications/sedatives or alcohol you will have a higher chance of choking. IF you are partying [talking, LAUGHING, fooling around] the chances of choking goes up.
Talking [or getting startled] with your mouth full increases your chances of choking.
Notify someone EARLY when you [or another is] are choking….   dial 911 , the dispatcher will realize what is going on and send you help–they will try to get to you in time. IF you are calling for someone else- give your address and clearly state someone is choking…  you can put the phone on speaker so you will be able to keep working on the victim. First responders would rather roll and get cancelled when the obstruction is removed – rather than arrive too late to help.

HEAT WAVE 2021

HEAT WAVE 2021

 

 

This year has been a bit HOT. Yesterday it was 96 degrees F which broke the record for the last almost 60 years. Other areas record were  up to 107F

 

This week there is a rodeo in town and listening to the scanner for medical calls the incidence of heat related injuries is high as well.

 

The sad thing about heat injuries is that by and large they ARE preventable!!!

 

It is always better to prevent de-hydration by drinking water. How much should you drink a day? It is NOT the oft repeated 8, 8 ounce glasses.  For the basic amount take your weight in pounds and divide by 2 = the number of ounces you should drink a day. This amount assumes that you are sitting at a desk. The best way to know that you are drinking enough is to check your urine. Normal healthy urine is clear to straw color with no odor. In babies we like to see 8-12 wet diapers a day. Most adults should do the same � ahhh EXCEPT hopefully without diapers.

 

A young Marine that I know very well recently told me that 2 GALLONS of water a day was just NOT enough!

 

Side note, at some airports when the temperature gets above 120F, they ground the airplanes because the air is not thick enough for safe flight.

Stockholm

 

 

Welcome to Stockholm!

 

Random thoughts…

 

It has been about a year since masking and lockdowns began. It will only last 2 weeks to break the transmission of the DEADLY virus.  RIGHT??  It is just for now, not forever!…  and here we are a year later still basically locked down. True THEY are lightening the restrictions but are ready to clamp down again WHEN there is another wave OR when the program/virus mutates.

 

A friend of the group has a relative who was put in a nursing home / long tern care facility a few months prior to the release of the virus. The family was able to visit before the lock down started. Then the lock down started… While they were able to call on the phone often and did make use of video conferencing for many months, it is NOT the same as face to face visits. After 6 months of ‘solitary confinement’ er ahhhh I mean medical protective isolation it takes a toll on people. Last month the patient in the nursing home had quit eating and drinking. The family was gathered to say their good byes as she was expected to die soon. The family was ALLOWED to visit as a group face to face with the patient for most of the day. How nice of the facility to allow contact! During the visit she started feeling hungry and started eating and drinking again because the family was there and what do you do at social events? You eat. The family continued to vist over the next few days. Her condition improved so much that she was ‘out of the danger zone’ and continued to get stronger. While this is a good thing, the facility decided that because she was not going to die soon that she was healthy enough to lock her back down and bar the family from face to face contact.  Back to medical protective isolation.  SMH  So, how many have died this last year because they gave up hope? How many died of loneliness?  Hummm what does this have to do with history [if anything]? Kinda reminds one of the 1930s.

 

 

Insurance may not cover your death IF it was from an experimental drug ie the human mal-ware program 19 vaccine. There have been some reports [unconfirmed by me, do your own research and let us know what you find out] that death benefits have been withheld to some families over this.

 

Recently a group of citizens lead by an MD, filed a civil rights suite against several in state government over the mask mandate and lock downs. Will see how that pans out.  ********web site***********  miracles do happen as the governor has decided to lift the mask mandate next week and businesses are now headed to being normalized.

So to recap the last year or so, this disease was noticed, the press whipped up concern, governments around the world locked everything down [took away most of our liberties and isolated us for our own good] and now are slowly giving us stuff back. BUT reminding us that THEY can lock us all down again when the disease numbers spike! This is sounding familiar to me from history.

 

Stockholm syndrome  ***the following was excerpted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

 

*** Stockholm syndrome is a condition in which hostages develop a psychological bond with their captors during captivity.[1] Emotional bonds may be formed between captors and captives, during intimate time together, but these are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Stockholm syndrome has never been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM, the standard tool for diagnostic of psychiatric illnesses and disorders, mainly due to the lack of a consistent body of academic research.[2][3][4] The syndrome is rare: according to data from the FBI about 5% of hostage victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[5]

This term was first used by the media in 1973 when four hostages were taken during a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden. The hostages defended their captors after being released and would not agree to testify in court against them.[2] It was noted that in this case, however, the police were perceived to have acted with little care for the hostages’ safety,[6] providing an alternative reason for their unwillingness to testify. Stockholm syndrome is paradoxical because the sympathetic sentiments that captives feel towards their captors are the opposite of the fear and disdain which an onlooker might feel towards the captors.  ***

 

Well established examples of Stockholm syndrome …  military basic training   they break you down to rebuild you. Btw this is an example of a good thing as it gets you to be able to do more than you thought you could.

 

What other examples of Stockholm syndrome can you come up with?

 

 

What to do?

 

Chop wood and carry water.

Continue to prep. Finish planning your garden for this year AND get extra seeds! LEARN how to do things. Make friends. Write down your plans as you discuss them with your family.

 

Prices are going UP, get the durable goods and food you will need NOW. Get tools of your trade and extra ones NOW!   Get out of debt!!!!

Winter cold

Leave a reply

If you have never driven on snow/ice please don’t. Stay home unless you absolutely have no other choice. The most dangerous thing is plow drivers face is other drivers that are unaware of how dangerous conditions are, and if you do need to get out go slow, give us a space to work, and don’t panic in and emergency. If you begin to slide, don’t slam on the brakes, put the car in neutral, and softly tap the brake so you can somewhat control the car until you come to a complete stop. Keep blankets in the car, and don’t let your fuel tank get below 3/4 of a tank. —

Strongly consider equipping your vehicle with both CB and GMRS radios– get a HAM license too. Have what you need to charge you devices like your phone so you can stay in touch with others AND ALWAYS let family/friends KNOW where you are AND your travel plans so you can be found. Family should have your vehicle info written down at home so the police know what to look for if you are overdue.

Never leave canned pop in the vehicle….

Heat injuries

Summer Safety Primer
During heat illness, the body’s cooling system shuts down due to a
lack of water and electrolytes.
Mild symptoms of heat exhaustion include thirst, fatigue, and cramps
in the legs or abdomen. Left untreated, heat exhaustion can progress
to heat stroke.

Serious heat-related symptoms include dizziness,
headaches, nausea, rapid heartbeat, vomiting, decreased alertness,
and a core temperature as high as 105 F or more.

In severe cases, the liver, kidneys, and brain may be damaged due to
the lack of water and electrolytes. About 400 people die each year
from heat exposure, according to the CDC.

The risk of heat illness goes up during exertion and sports and with
certain health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and heart
disease. Alcohol use also increases the risk. So do medications that
slow sweat production such as antihistamines, tricyclic
antidepressants, and diuretics used to treat water retention, high
blood pressure, and some liver and kidney conditions.

People ages 65 and older and young children are especially vulnerable
to heat illness. During the summer of 2003, at least 42 children in
the United States died after being left in hot cars, according to Jan
Null, a meteorologist in San Francisco who tracks heat-related
deaths. What some people don’t realize is that the temperature inside
a car can climb much higher than temperatures outside during a sunny
day. Heat stroke in children [AND animals] can occur within minutes, even if a car
window is opened slightly. **The car becomes a `solar oven’ with
temperatures going over 200 degrees F. and sometimes into 300 degrees F.
What You Can Do
Adequate hydration is the #1 protective factor!

Re-Hydration drink

At #2 is proper clothing with headgear.

Air conditioning is the No. 3 protective factor against heat illness.

If you don’t have air conditioning, spend time in public facilities, such as libraries and
malls that have air conditioning. Reduce strenuous activities or do
them during early mornings and evenings when it’s cooler. If you’re
outside for long stretches of time, carry a water bottle, drink
fluids regularly, and don’t push your limits. People who play sports
should wear light, loose-fitting clothes and drink WATER or sports
drinks before, during, and after activity. If you see someone
experiencing heat illness, have the person lie down in a cool place
and elevate the legs. Use water, wet towels, and fanning to help cool
the person down until emergency help comes.

The number one indicator of adequate hydration is URINATION. With
infants we are told that 10-12 wet diapers a day is a good thing. And
that “depends” on your age. If you are 40 years old, one would hope
that you do not need diapers [in older folks diapers are called
depends]. BUT you should be going every 2-3 hours and your urine
should be clear to straw colored and at least 90 MLs each time. If
your urine is dark, cloudy or scant you NEED to be drinking more
water. A good formula is one liter of water, ¼ teaspoon potassium
chloride [this is a salt substitute some trade names are NU-salt, NO-
salt ECT.. Available in the seasoning section with the regular table
salt –sodium chloride] a pinch of mag sulfate—Epson salt, 2
tablespoons of sugar and Kool aid to taste. Chile and serve. This
formula is rather similar to Pedialyte or Gatorade only better and
much cheaper. — Just like you learned in our first aid class.

Are you keeping a journal of what you are experiencing during this time? IF not you should be! are you planning your garden for this year? You need to be! This is both therapeutic and practical. Your kids and grand-kids in years to come will benefit from this. While you are at it keep track of what you use daily, along with what you have learned and still need to learn. What insights have you gotten from this experience?

1. What supply did you overlook and realized you either needed it or didn’t have enough of it?

2. What have you been running out of? Keep track of how long it takes to use up something consumable like toilet paper or laundry soap, and then begin stocking up accordingly with a 3-month supply in mind to START. Top off your reserves every other week and rotate everything. [This gives you a 2,5 month buffer in case you decide it is best to stay in for a month or so…. Kinda like driving on the top 1/4 of your gas tank.] Aiming for a year or so supply.

3. If you’re able to go to the grocery store, what is typically on your list of things to buy? This can give you insights into what you might want to stock up on for the future.

4. What do you realize you need to learn if this quarantine continues for weeks/months or something like this happens again? Many people discovered stores were running out of milk, eggs, yeast, sugar and flour.

May want to get chickens this year too…review the news the last few months about food & last year with the late spring and early fall- grain harvest was down 40% reportedly. I have have been watching this channel for a long time now….  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0tivnr2GS0&fbclid=IwAR2de1U_dYn4m0hnpiCFaVrnC5lWANtv1z20w5im4ssU7dea7C-_MMMUmxs

 

 

No sew mask

NO-SEW MASKS

Are you hearing the recommendations to wear a mask when you go out, but you have no idea where to get one? If you sew, you can make your own, but what if you don’t sew?

Here is a super easy one that is adjustable to any size and you can use what you have at home already and takes less than 5 minutes.

Start with a piece of fabric (old t-shirt, old shirt, pillowcase, large handkerchief, whatever) and cut it to about 12” by 22”. Don’t worry about the raw edges because you can just fold them to the middle.

Fold it into thirds lengthwise.

Slide a large rubber band on each end – about a quarter of the way in.

Fold over the ends at the rubber band to meet somewhere near the middle. The amount of fold will determine the size of the mask. Play with the fold until you get the right size for your face.

Slip the rubber bands over your ears and you are all set.

You can make several and just throw them in the washing machine after you use them.

If you have a sewing machine, you can sew the raw edges, so it doesn’t unravel in the wash. If you have pinking shears, you can pink the edges. If you can’t do either of those, just fold the edges in.

Just for fun, try funky colors and prints.

OR, if you are feeling playful, take a magic marker and draw a smile or a mustache or a zipper on it.

These don’t replace hand washing, social distancing and all the other recommendations.

Share with your friends and family. Even young children can make these for themselves.

If you make some, post a picture of you wearing it. I’d love to see it.

Stay safe and stay healthy.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

You can call my direct line at 414-588-6909 or send me an email to jan@castlesandcruises.com and let me know the best way to assist you.

Best to you,

 Well, here’s an improvement already from someone. go to the hardware store and buy a HEPA furnace filter. Take it apart and cut out pieces to insert between the layers. You can wash the HEPA filter in a solution of water with 10% bleach and then air dry them for reuse.

Response to covid 19 and a question from a friend– as a nurse have you ever seen anything like this virus?

 

kinda have, yes…. given the REPORTED speed of spread there only really 2 conclusions … neither path matters to most of us….[[ how so?? our response on a personal or even local level has to be the same]] IF they can pin point when/where the disease started [this fast] is if it is a bioweapon that escaped or was released….you nor I can DO anything about that, RIGHT? —–OR—— it is totally natural thing in which case it has been around for some time, spreading UNIDENTIFIED … which is actually most likely, in which case, well we just have to deal with it as is…. the ONLY way to know if someone has it is to do the testing….

 

JUST like the common flu—you may have ALL the signs of the flu, BUT the actual diagnosis is dependent on lab tests.  Ultimately it does NOT matter [effectively] because you still just treat the symptoms and provide supportive care.  In cases where the illness is “mild” people self treat at home and therefore do not come to medical attention. A side effect of that is even IF they have true flu, they are not counted.  SAME with the covid 19, unless or until the test comes back NOBODY ACTUALLY KNOWS how many have it. There is no effective specific treatment YET. So all that can actually be done is treat the symptoms and use standard precautions just like the flu.

 

TB was rampant years ago and there was an effective treatment available that sometimes took a full year. One thing I always found sadly funny was how many people were nonchalant around the patient UNTIL the tests came back and the patient was diagnosed as having TB…..   THEN the staff would “run around with their hair on fire soiling themselves” figuratively speaking and put the patient in isolation. This was sad because the staff had already been exposed. See standard precautions below.

 

How do the above disease spread? All 3 mostly are air bourne and surface contact. If someone coughs or sneezes, droplets go into the air [some bigger and some smaller] the bigger droplets fall sooner, smaller droplets can travel farther. We are mostly concerned with the respiratory aspects but they can enter the body other ways like mucus membranes and open wounds.

 

Speed of spread—nobody actually KNOWS how fast it spreads. How is this? Once again to actually deliver a definitive diagnosis you HAVE to have test results. No test no real statistics.  Until the test results are reported you only have presumptive cases. Typically there are reporting cycles for ease of explaining we will say that the reporting cycle is daily at noon.  1st report says that there are 2 confirmed cases. [they seldom report negative results in the media] . 2nd report say that there are 2 new CONFIRMED cases which would indicate that the cases have DOUBLED. OK project that out and it will sound scary. NOT everyone [total population] is tested, not every one of those who are sick get tested [because there are not enough tests nor staff to be able to do the tests]  EVEN IF the media would report ALL of the results of the tests for covid 19  [total number of tests done broken down to the number that are positive AND the number that showed negative] this would give us a better picture of how fast this spreads BUT it still is blurry at the point because we do not have large enough numbers. When we get larger numbers tested the % will change and the DEATH RATE will decrease. This still does not paint a real picture of the situation as MOST people still will not be tested even if sick and most wont go in to their doctor unless they are REALLY sick so we don’t know how many actually have the covid 19. Point being that the media to a large extent are fear mongers. You should talk with YOUR doctor to get an idea of how you should be reacting.

 

Standard precautions sometimes referred to as universal precautions depends on what term is in vogue in your area.  Basically the simplest explanation is treat everybody as if they have everything and then you don’t have to worry [as much]. Avoid contact with body fluids period. Don’t get any closer than is needed to accomplish what you have to do. WASH your hands well and often with plain soap and water before AND after contact, especially if you know you have been contaminated. Keep your hands away from your mucus membranes in most cases this means your face. Real sun light is your friend. The UV light deactivates most germs. Cover your [or the patient’s] cough/sneezes, keep your hands away from mucus membranes-yours and others.

 

Ppe when used appropriately AND correctly! Ppe can do 2 basic things depending on why you are doing it…  IF you are healthy it will help protect you IF you pay attention. If you are sick it cuts down on you contaminating others and other things.

 

Gloves  can be occlusive like plastic or rubber whatever for dealing with wet stuff. Can be cloth so that you can wash them after use for dry stuff  and to remind you to keep your hands away from mucus membranes.

 

Masks  there are several kinds we will limit this discussion to N95, surgical disposable and cloth reusable. N 95 [100] indicates the efficiency of the filtering expressed as a % removed. So 95% of the particulates [dust or germs] are removed from the air you breath IN [ so there is no such thing as more than 100% in reality] the N95 masks that I have used have a one way valve which makes it easier to exhale—exhaled air is NOT filtered at all. So do NOT waste an N95 mask thinking that it will contain the sick person’s germs.

Surgical and cloth masks do not filter much out of the air but when used as intended they are very effective for reducing the transmission of germs. How masks work, most masks just redirect the air flow to the sides which slows down the force of airflow so droplets fall or drop out ie so droplets don’t travel as far. If something splashes on you the mask should at least keep it from directly touching you and depending on how much gets on your mask it gives you time to change the mask. In the case of you being the sick person it will help contain the spray when you cough, sneeze or even talk. You may not be aware of it but every time you speak or exhale, moisture and droplets ARE coming out of you and can get on others  which is why sick folk NEED to wear masks.

Masks alone do NOT provide total protection but they DO help.

 

EYE protection is often needed depending on the risks. Germs CAN enter your body through your eyes. Stuff gets on your eyeball and the tears wash that stuff to the lachrymal duct into your nose, down into your mouth or into your lungs. EYE protection can be simple as your eyeglasses if you wear them everyday to see [contacts do not protect you at all]. Or you can have safety glasses that kinda look like regular glasses up through goggles which do not let any air/particles get to the eyes. There are also face shields that go over the whole face. Often people will wear the mask, glasses/goggles AND the face shield too. All depending on risks.

 

GOWNS or aprons  go over you to contain stuff [btw I use the term STUFF to keep from making a detailed list of all the things involved, most folks can figure out by the context. I don’t feel like typing it all out and most are not interested in reading an extra 500 words, this is not a peer reviewed article in a medical journal]

 

What do we do and how to prep

Supplies and provisions- stock as IF you knew there was a big blizzard coming and be ready to shelter in place for at least 2 weeks. Many folk in WY and other places only shop on a monthly basis, so maybe consider having enough to skip a shopping trip.

Everyone needs certain things like TP and dish soap, you need enough to ride out the storm but you most likely don’t need a warehouse full. Do you? Unless of course you own a store of some kind. How much you get depend totally on your assessment of how long you will have to SIP [shelter in place] BUT do it before the storm so others can get what they need too.

 

Keep a journal of the happenings of the day, DO include what you use each day and over a period of time you will have the information needed to project out and budget for what you need. Write down what you learned from the experience and what you wish you had known ahead of time or what you wish you had ore or less of.

Who knows?

Leave a reply

I have heard many theories everything from the Covid 19 has been in the wild for many years it just now crossed over from animals to humans. It is from outer space. It escaped from a lab OR was released from a lab. It is a political stunt on one side or the other.

For your consideration

Who knows?….. or is it W.H.O. KNOWS!
 
China v America

What do you think about this?

*How to dominate the world quickly?*

THE GREAT CHINESE STAGE

1. Create a virus and the antidote.

2. Spread the virus.

3. A demonstration of efficiency, building hospitals in a few days. After all, you were already prepared, with the projects, ordering the equipment, hiring the labor, the water and sewage network, the prefabricated building materials and stocked in an impressive volume.

4. Cause chaos in the world, starting with Europe.

5. Quickly plaster the economy of dozens of countries.

6. Stop production lines in factories in other countries.

7. Cause stock markets to fall and buy companies at a bargain price.

8. Quickly control the epidemic in your country. After all, you were already prepared.

9. Lower the price of commodities, including the price of oil you buy on a large scale.

10. Get back to producing quickly while the world is at a standstill. Buy what you negotiated cheaply in the crisis and sell more expensive what is lacking in countries that have paralyzed their industries.

After all, you read more Confucius than Karl Marx.

*PS: Before laughing, read the book by Chinese colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, from 1999, “Unrestricted Warfare: China’s master plan to destroy America”, on Amazon, then we talk. It’s all there.*

Worth pondering..
Just Think about  this…

How come Russia & North Korea are totally free of Covid- 19? Because they are staunch ally of China. Not a single case reported from this 2 countries. On the other hand South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit. How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?

China will say that their drastic  initial  measures they took was very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas. I am sure they are using the Anti dode of the virus.

Why Beijing was not hit?  Why only Wuhan? Kind of interesting to ponder upon.. right? Well ..Wuhan is open for business now. America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially. Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China.  China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present

THE MOST POWERFUL  country in the world. So use the virus…to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities. I’m sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this. . to topple Trump. Lately President Trump was always telling of how GREAT American economy was  improving in all fronts. The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an economic havoc. Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump thru impeachment. ….so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus. Wuhan,s epidemic was  a showcase. At the peak of  the virus epidemic. ..

China’s President Xi Jinping…just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas.  As President he should be covered from head to toe…..but it was not the case.  He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus….that means a cure was  already in place before the virus was released.

Some may ask….Bill Gates already predicted the outbreak in 2015…so the chinese agenda cannot be true. The answer is. ..YES…Bill Gates did predict. .but that prediction is based on a genuine virus outbreak.  Now China is also telling that the virus was predicted well in advance. ….so that its agenda would play along well to match that  prediction. China,s vision is to control the World economy by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe  ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.  Later China will announce that  their Medical Researchers  have found a cure to destroy the virus.  Now China have other countries stocks in their arsenal and these countries will soon be slave to their master…CHINA.

Just Think about  it …
The Doctor Who declared  this virus was also Silenced by the Chinese  Authorities…

THE BOTTOM LINE IS– as a practical mater DOES IT REALLY matter how it got here to MOST of us?

 

NOPE!!

 

It does NOT really matter!!    How or why, it IS here now. We should ALL be doing these things.

 

W- wash hands thoroughly- plain soap and water

U- use a face mask properly- even home made masks help limit the spread of germs in general

H- hands off your face, mouth, etc.

A- avoid crowds

N- never give up hope

We should always keep our vehicle fuel tank OVER 1/2 full. While stores use the ‘just in time’ concept WE should always have at least 2 weeks ahead stock levels of everything besides the fresh stuff. Have a communications plan in place. Be aware of the situation around you.

Always discuss your specific health needs with YOUR doctor!

FLUIDS stay WELL hydrated. And clean. Sunlight is your friend!  UV light kills germs- they make UV lighting for your house consider this for hallways and bathrooms at least.

God gave us the ingenuity to craft the spear and to design the gun who’s use provides food and protection for our families and communities. Our forefathers believed that the God given right to individual arms ownership was so important they wrote it into the United state’s constitution.

123 countries affected 145,374 confirmed cases Over 5,429 deaths Recovered 71, 712 Most likely to spread within the first 3 days of symptoms, less infectious after 7 days. Containment and eradication are expensive Doubles about every 5 days China 8 new cases yesterday 80,000 + confirmed cases, 115,000 x 67 = 7.7 million 3 weeks earlier number of cases reduced by 95% Locking down, social distancing, contact tracing WHO Europe in now the epicentre More new daily cases than China at the peak of their outbreak Countries must take a comprehensive approach Testing Contact tracing Quarantine Social distancing Do it all Any country, “that won’t happen to us” is making a deadly mistake. China, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, aggressive testing, contact tracing, social distancing, community mobilization Investigation of clusters is a critical step in reducing transmission. First, prepare and be ready. Know the signs and symptoms and how to protect themselves and others. Every health worker should be able to recognize this disease, provide care and know what to do with their patients. Every health facility should be ready to cope with large numbers of patients, and ensure the safety of staff and patients. Second, detect, protect and treat. You can’t fight a virus if you don’t know where it is. Find, isolate, test and treat every case, to break the chains of transmission. Every case we find and treat limits the expansion of the disease. Third, reduce transmission. Do not just let this fire burn. Isolate the sick and quarantine their contacts. In addition, measures that increase social distancing such as cancelling sporting events may help to reduce transmission. These measures, of course, should be based on local context and risk assessment, and should be time-limited. Even if you cannot stop transmission, you can slow it down and save lives. And fourth, innovate and learn. This is a new virus and a new situation. We’re all learning, and we must all find new ways to prevent infections, save lives, and minimize impact. Clean your hands regularly with an alcohol-based rub or soap and water Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow if you cough or sneeze. Stay home if you’re sick. Avoid unnecessary travel and large social gatherings. Comply with the advice of your local or national health authority. Find and share reliable information.
