So sorry. Snopes.com (I should have checked) said the self-test and drinking water is not true. But the needed encouragement that “God is with us” is truth that will never change.
I just received the following from a friend:
Since I know I’m in the group that is vulnerable to pneumonia and suddenly find that I am older—also a risk group, this brief piece gives pertinent information and advice to follow that would help you know if you should seek treatment BEFORE the fever, etc. I believe that while the other information about washing hands, keeping hands out of our faces, is pertinent—this information could be lifesaving and make us proactive in our own behalf. Please read.”
From a friend at the Stanford hospital board. This is their feedback on Coronavirus:
The new Coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days. How can one know if he/she is infected? By the time they have fever and/or cough and go to the hospital, the lung is usually 50% Fibrosis and it’s too late…Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning. Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicates no infection. In critical time, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air.”
Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus. If you don’t drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and into the lungs. That’s very dangerous.
And now for some encouragement. There’s no better place to find it than in God’s Word:
