Coronavirus and It’s Impact On You

CORONAVIRUS: Impact to Your Wealth, Health and Happiness

While it’s still hard to tell how the Coronavirus will impact us in the long term, it’s become a subject that’s impossible to ignore. While some are advocating we prepare to be quarantined, potentially for months, others are saying the virus is nothing more than a common cold. The World Health Organization takes a more middle-of-the-road approach, advising we take precautions without becoming alarmed.

We’re going to take a similar middle-of-the-road approach and empower you to make informed decisions for you and your family. Here are some resources to stay up to date on the virus and to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy.

Links and References for Tracking and Information:

For your reference, here’s a link where you can track infection and death rates over time. As you can see, the numbers are increasing daily. Most of the people who die from coronavirus are over the age of 60, and people who have chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes have a 5–10% higher chance of dying from it. So if you have parents who may need information on how to boost their immunity, it would be good to share this article with them.

This video shares that, as of January 30, 2020, approximately 8,000 people had been infected with the Coronavirus, and 214 had died. The video indicates that symptoms are similar to a bad respiratory cold, with fever and cough, and that the only treatment is fever-reducing medication. Taking precautions now to up your intake of immunity-boosting supplements, the same way you might if there was a cold circulating in your community, would be a great idea.

So how does the coronavirus have an impact on you? Preparation is key to peace of mind.

A friend of mine shared some resources they’d compiled to help shore up their immunity, and I’ve included them in the list below. This is not medical advice, neither my friend nor I are doctors, just health conscious individuals. Consult your doctor before taking any supplements at all.

These are just the things I am considering for my family, and I’m sharing with you so you can make the call for yours.

Supplements I recommend:

  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D, 3000 units or more
  • Ascorbate, 1250 mg. or more
  • Zinc, 30 – 50 mg
  • Black elderberry, 600 – 1500 mg
  • Lion’s Mane (Host Defense by Stamets)
  • NAC (1200 – 1800 mg)
  • Lipoic acid (1200 – 1800)
  • Spirulina (15 g)
  • Selenium (50 – 100 mcg)
  • Glucosamine (3000 mg or more)
  • Yeast Beta-Glucan (250 – 500 mg)

Supplies to keep on hand:

  • Colloidal Silver
  • Oregano oil
  • Immunity boosting essential oils like Thieves or OnGuard Oil
  • Sanitizing wipes
  • Protective masks

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

  • Wash your hands more than you usually do. Don’t forget to wipe down surfaces on airplanes, public transportation, and at the gym with your own sanitizer wipes.
  • Have emergency food, water, and medical supplies prepared (always a good idea).
  • Practice breathing through your nose instead of your mouth. Nose hairs offer natural protection from airborne viruses. This is especially important for those living in big cities.
  • Be cautious when attending crowded places like airplanes, churches, theaters, etc.
  • Make sure you are drinking plenty of purified water.
  • If you smoke, it’s an especially good time to quit to protect your lungs.

What if the Coronavirus does have a personal impact on me?

In the event you or a loved one do get sick and need to go to the hospital, it’s important to prepare a list of your needs. Include your preferred hospital, your primary care doctor and any specialists, food allergies and preferences, and supplements and medications you take. Also indicate any procedures you desire or don’t desire. Additionally, you should name the person or people authorized to make healthcare and financial decisions for you if you cannot make them for yourself.
