Prevention

Follow all the usual advice regarding cold & flu prevention:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (the equivalent of singing “Happy Birthday” twice.)

• Use hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol if handwashing is unavailable.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash hands.  If there is no tissue available, please use the “cough into your arm” technique to prevent airborne particles from escaping. If you have sneezed or coughed onto your hand, please wash your hands before moving on with your activities. YOU can prevent spread.

• Limit contact with people who are actively sick with coughing, sneezing and other symptoms.

• Limit contact with large groups. Maintain “Social Distancing” of 6 feet or more when in public.

• Wear a mask when unable to maintain social distancing.

• Avoid/minimize indoor crowds such as at gyms, restaurants, bars etc.  

• Get a COVID vaccine. This will both protect you and help prevent the spread of COVID to others.

• If you have cold or flu-like symptoms, call your health care professional or a walk-in clinic to receive instructions on steps to take.

Immune Support

 One possible reason that older people are more susceptible to this virus (and many other infections like shingles and pneumonia) is that the immune system weakens with age.  So it is especially important to focus on immune support and antiviral support including:

a. Vitamin D adequate to keep blood levels at the range of 50-80 ng/ml (approx 5000 iu daily for most people)

b. Vitamin C 1000 mg 2-4 times daily

c. Take a good multiple vitamin that includes zinc and vitamin A

d. Take immune supporting herbs such as Echinacea, Astragalus, Coriolus mushrooms etc

e. Get adequate rest.

f. Avoid excess sugars which depress immune function

If you develop symptoms, do the following:

a. STAY HOME, preferably in a single room (self quarantining)

b. take your temperature and track symptoms

c. increase intake of Echinacea (2 caps 4 times daily), zinc lozenges (1 every 1-2 hrs), and vitamin C ( 1000-2000 mg every 2 hrs. Reduce slightly if getting loose stools) vitamin A (25,000-50,000 iu daily for 1 week). Try steam breathing with eucalyptus oil.

d. CALL your doctor (don’t go in to office).  They will help determine if your symptoms seem likely to be COVID-19 or a garden variety flu and whether you should be tested.
