<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do not panic. Do not fret. The corona virus is here. Just take a deep breath.</p>
<p>So, what do we do? Hmmmmmm. Let’s keep it simple.</p>
<p>Let’s stick to facts. There is new research that is different that what China put out. The virus is stable in the air about 3 hours, and on a moist surface up to 3 days. So let’s work on not getting sick, outside of the hysterics. We know where the virus attaches now, and we have some ideas coming out about how to treat it. There is no respirator shortage – anywhere in the US. Yes, maybe it will get bad. But we have had far worse with the flu. Did you see a shortage of toilet paper during flu season?</p>
<p>Keep your paws clean. Wash them. Warm water and soap about a 30 count. That will get you to about the 20 seconds you need. If you touch something. Wash those paws again. Please do not touch your face with unwashed hands. We do that – a lot. Some research shows up to 30 times an hour. Put on a pair of purple gloves (nitrile) and you can wash them just like your hands. It will remind you what not to touch.</p>
<p>Clean those surfaces. If the store is out of every type of disinfectant known to man – try a little bleach and water. Lots of good web sites with instructions. Use good web sites, like Mayo Clinic, or John’s Hopkins. Don’t use Uncle Leroy’s Back Water Gator Hole Fuel Cleaning Systems web site. At your home, you need only do it once. Then keep it clean. Keep your shoes by the door, Don’t track stuff everywhere. Use your brain and good advice.</p>
<p>And the news – turn it off. Forget it. They are wrong a great deal. If you want real information – go the the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) web site. Call your doctor. I have time to talk to my patients. Even though it is an hour or so a day right now – it is what we do. If your doctor has no time for you, come see me. We can get you into the practice, and answer lots of questions</p>
<p>If you are sick – please go away. We love ya, but don’t need ya when your sick. Now, part of this problem is that if you contract the disease, you are spewing virus all over the place days before any symptoms. Again, wash your hands. Cover your mouth when you sneeze. Wipe and wash – really, simple stuff.</p>
<p>Again, if you are sick – come see the doctor. Call first, we will set things up; talk to you, go over what we need to do. There is testing. Not hysteric I-need-to-be-tested-every-day stuff. But thoughtful, let’s see what’s going on stuff.</p>
<p>A mask is only helpful if YOU have the Wuhan Virus. Yes, that is the proper name. Viruses have been named that way for over 50 years. It is not racial. Heck, it is not even creative. It is simply that where the virus causes an outbreak, that is where the name comes from. The media just needs to raise heck and feel like they have control. I guess Ebola is upset they were not racist. Or SARS, etc.</p>
<p>Oh, and the elderly couple who bough over 200 jumbo mega huge rolls of toilet paper for themselves. Yes you, with the wild eyes and hysterics. You don’t really need two hundred rolls for the two of you. You want to run and hide – fine. It’s not helpful, but okay. The fear of the unknown is a powerful thing. Maybe you could educate yourself with real info, like at the CDC web site. By the way, how long does it take two constipated people to use 200 mega rolls of toilet paper? To borrow from an old tootsie roll pop commercial, “The World May Never Know.”</p>

We do not know much<br />about the Virus itself, but from previous outbreaks of this type virus, we can differ some information.<br />It has been named 2019-nCoV. The gene has been sequenced – but this gives us no information about<br />the virulence of the virus.</p><p>Coronavirus is a virus that has a core with protein and RNA. The outer envelope has proteins that bind<br />to cells. This virus normally comes from mammals, and then spread to humans, called zoonosis. Two<br />other examples of this virus and actions in the past is Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and<br />Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). These were both Coronaviruses that were infecting<br />animals that evolved to infect humans. The current 2019-nCoV has been confirmed that there is human<br />to human transmission, but we do not know how yet.</p><p>The understanding of the current presentation of the disease is still evolving. The CDC reports that the<br />only consistent clinical signs of infection are symptoms of a lower respiratory illness. There is an<br />associated fever in many patients. Fever may not be present in some patients, such as those who are<br />very young, elderly, immunosuppressed, or taking certain fever-lowering medications.</p><p>2019-nCoV may be best described as a respiratory like illness that presents as a chest cold. Symptoms<br />appear in 2 to 14 days after exposure. The current theory is that the infection is spread via respirator<br />droplets like the SARS and MERS virus. But we are still not completely sure.</p><p>Prevention is via infection control like any other viral illness. The CDC recommends:</p><ul><li>Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not<br />available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.</li><li>Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.</li><li>Avoid close contact with people who are sick.</li><li>Stay home when you are sick.</li><li>Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.</li><li>Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.</li></ul><p>We do not have a specific test for this disease.</p><p>If you have any of these symptoms AND have been exposed to someone whom has traveled in from<br />China, please call the Health Department or your Doctor right away. Also, if you take ill, AND have<br />been I contact with someone whom is being looked at for 2019-nCoV, also call the Heath Department<br />or you Doctor.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]</p> </div>
