per oldgrognard's post (se my sig or here: https://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4514622/covid-19-informationfrom the researcher at John Hopkins' information it appears we all can use that knowledge take some counter measures. Knowing the enemy is a huge advantage vs. just guessing. So be sure to closely examine the information (I mean who knew we could we could attacked by zombie virus - a protein that is not alive and how soap is or best friend?) Of course gloves, mask are obvious. UV light, heat, dryness no so obvious. State your countermeasures here. - I'm currently using strict protocols and UV light, heat, dryness also. I disinfect wipe all packaging, mail, and I wash my hands like 50- 100 x day, etc. Also I disinfect all currency. Carry greenbacks or cards in a little bag so I don't reach into my pockets. I don't take change. They can keep it.

The virus appears to slam your immune system, per one study and a few very smart scientists agreeing. This could prove why covid is so hard on those with weakened immune systems and open them up for secondary infections.
Out of 7000+ deaths in NY, only 1 child age 0-9 died. Because kids have super immune system. Their t-cells come to the rescue after 2-3 days of contracting the virus and wipes it out.
So my tip, bolster your immune system. Vitamins a, c, d, zinc to begin with. Stop smoking. Stop being fat.

Look for the gas pump that's in the sunshine when filling up.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

Leave non-perishable purchases in your car or in an unused room or closet for three or four days. I actually started doing that before it was being suggested. The bad news is that this stuff could live up to 28 days in a refrigerator and an undetermined amount of time at subfreezing temperatures. Those estimates are based on existing testing of similar viruses.
SALUTE TO ALL!

So my tip, bolster your immune system. Vitamins a, c, d, zinc to begin with. Stop smoking. Stop being fat. If you try to get lean from being fat better do it with sports than lowering calories, or your general weakening during the process may be counter productive. Strangely enough, smokers seem to be somewhat better protected, from what we've seen here. Having diabete or using painkillers is bad, but that's usually not something one can change easily.
