How to protect yourself (from coronavirus):

"There are currently no vaccines available to protect you against human coronavirus infection.
You may be able to reduce your risk of infection by doing the following:

(#1) .. wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
(#2) ..avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
(#3) .. avoid close contact with people who are sick "

Also:
(#4)..stay home while you are sick - don't spread the illness
(#5) ..avoid close contact with others
(#6).. cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands
(#7).. clean and disinfect objects and surfaces, especially plateware, silverware, TV remotes, cellphones commonly use by many people.

I am sort of trying to avoid... haha - I know in China they eat all kinds of HORRIBLE things and often there is animal to people contagion that then mutates. Bird flu/swine flu and this sort of looks like bat virus...

I really hope it stays out of the US.

I make my own sanitizer with strong neem decoction, white vinegar and essential oils. Probably some overlap with thieves.

A couple of more helpful things are to coat the inside of the nostrils with oil or some type of similar stuff (I make my own “tiger balm” and soothing balm, I use those or oil) before going anywhere there may be people, and when home rinse the nasal passages well, preferably with a Neti pot. That washes out microbes; also wash face well and rinse mouth and gargle.

Flu viruses like to set up shop in the throat first.

Hmm, I make Lomatium tincture esp. for lung infections, such as flu that gets into bronchials.

I make Thieves inhalers and also have a locket type necklace that I can put drops of Thieves on (onto a felt insert), to inhale, when spraying may not be possible (airplanes, for example). This comes in handy in lines, doctors offices, church, etc. :)

I also make Thieves wipes, for travel.

A ‘Flu shot’ blend that I use (in a roller bottle) also contains Thieves.

The Queen is 93 years old and there are tons of viruses she could have contracted. The chances she has this particular virus are approximately 0.

NAC, (N-acetyl cysteine), available as an OTC supplement in tablet form, is a compound known to break up mucous concentrations in the lungs and is suspected to provide some protection from acute infectious pulmonary diseases. (many peer-reviewed articles available).

Save your money unless you know how to use them and have been appropriately fitted

I don't think it's professionally responsible to say that. Don't discourage people from procuring them. Any old N95 mask, thrown on in a hurry, is approximately better than no mask, unless in an absolutely saturated viral environment (unlikely).

“until your blood measures 60-70 “

How do you do that? Never did any kind of vitamin D3. Is that regular vitamin D pills?

Plain surgical masks are fine for droplet spread.
