If you do a side by side comparison of the cold virus (Rhinovirus) and the Corona-virus, they are virtually indistinguishable without lots of very expensive equipment.
Best defense to date is still basic hygiene, washing hands with a good quality soap (not anti-bacterial) keeping shared surfaces clean. Remember, a virus is NOT a bacteria so "anti-bacterial" agents will not work real well.
Mitch, out@valued-customer,Thank you for the article! It is invaluable to hear/see more information regarding any communicable disease. For anyone who isn't versed in C versus F in temperatures, 56C is only slightly less than 133F This isn't to very much hotter than where I live for about 1 week a year. Please keep in mind that the COVID-19 test that some places are offering DO NOT WORK. A viable test for any new virus (not to mention a vaccine) usually takes about 6 months to a year to develop. As far as "Flu Vaccines" go, again, according to the CDC (world's largest holder of medical patents) there is less than a 20% chance of getting the correct "flu shot" and only about a 10% chance of it working. These percentages come from a CDC whistle blower from several years ago, so I am not wholly sure what they are today.
Too bad we'll never see DRACO that might cure this contagion. The more I think about it, the more angry I get. Dying so that Merck or these Big Pharma companies can keep their business model intact pisses me off.
Thanks!
