Having a stronger immune system could go a long
CORONAVIRUS
After all the rhetoric and theories ,
Coronavirus is a genuine threat , and it ’ s likely that you and I will be exposed , if we have already been .
It ’ s a “ new ” type of Coronavirus . Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds . In humans , coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that are typically mild , such as the common cold , though rarer forms such as SARS , MERS , and COVID-19 can be lethal .
In December 2019 , a pneumonia outbreak was reported in Wuhan , China . On 31 December 2019 , the outbreak was traced to a novel strain of Coronavirus , which was given the interim name 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization ( WHO ), later renamed SARS- CoV-2 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses . Some researchers have suggested that the Huanan Seafood Market may not be the original source of viral transmission to humans .
Infections range from mild to serious . The virus can turn deadly if it leads to pneumonia , respiratory failure , or septic shock . Those most at risk of death are the elderly and people with weakened immune systems .
The outbreak quickly moved from China around the world . It spreads the same way other coronaviruses do : through person-to-person contact .
Symptoms can show up anywhere from 2 to 27 days after exposure . Early on , they ’ re a lot like the common cold . You might notice :
• Fever
• Dry Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of taste
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Etc . The good news is that there is already a viable solution within our immediate reach . It comes from consensus and experience from functional medicine doctors from all around the world .
Although they ’ ve given you some pretty important tips for PREVENTING the Coronavirus , they have missed one important aspect :
Strengthening your immune system !
