The following interview was conducted with a prominent lung biologist from Germany about the corona crisis.

Naturally, Asthmatics and Smokers are particularly at risk from the corona virus. But healthy people should also strengthen their lungs. Here are the recommendations:

 

QUESTION: What can each of us do to arm our body against the new coronavirus?

 

ANSWER: You should strengthen your immune system and above all pay attention to your respiratory tract. Cough, runny nose, sore throat and shortness of breath can be symptoms of infection, and they all affect the airways.

 

Pneumonia can also occur in some cases. Patients with severe conditions are not only mostly older people, but also smokers or people with other diseases. There is a correlation between cigarette consumption and the risk of a severe history of Covid-19 lung disease.

 

QUESTION: Of the 50- to 60-year-old residents around 25 percent of women and 31 percent of men smoke. So this group is particularly at risk? [Read more…]

Wir spachen mit einem prominenten Lungenbiologen aus Deutschland zur Corona Krise.

Asthmatiker und Raucher sind besonders durch das Coronavirus gefährdet. Doch auch Gesunde sollten ihre Lunge stärken. Hier sind unsere Tipps dazu:

FRAGE: Was kann jeder Einzelne von uns tun, um seinen Körper gegen das neuartige Coronavirus zu wappnen?

ANTWORT: Man sollte sein Immunsystem stärken und vor allem auf seine Atemwege achten.

What We Can Learn From Taiwan In The Covid19 Pandemic

The following Post is from a German friend, I had it translated because a lot of what he describes applies to our situation here in most Western countries like Europe and the US as well.

It lies next to China, but reports only a few people infected with Corona: Why is Taiwan coping with the crisis so much better than the European countries – and almost without coercive measures?

 

“We Europeans and our damn arrogance,” my sister wrote via WhatsApp the other day. “We could have done it differently.” At the time, she was sitting in her not very big house near Berlin, the two sons did not go to school or daycare, and her husband, like her, made a home office at the dining table. In my home town of Taipei, I watched the daily press conference of the Taiwan Minister of Health, who reported the biggest increase in Covid 19 infections to date in one day – exactly ten.

 

In total, the number of infected people in Taiwan was 77, in Germany the break of the ten thousand mark was expected for the next day. Both countries had reported their first case within a few days.

What effective crisis management looks like has since been better observed in Taiwan than in Germany: the national crisis center had already started work one day before the first confirmed case. Three days later, the export of face masks was banned. The extension of the New Year holidays, which kept all schools nationwide closed for another two weeks, came into effect when the total number of infected had increased to ten. In Taipei, only a few people got on the subway without a face mask. [Read more…]

Post Coronavirus Trauma – PCT – we’re all going to be suffering from Post-Covid19 Trauma

Prefer to listen? Clock HERE:

The sun will rise. We will emerge from our lock-downs like a hungry animal crawling out of its cave after the winter-hibernation.

The hugely inconvenient disruption to our lives will come to an end at some time. But the massive fall-out will linger a lot longer than the fairly sudden stop to just everything we were familiar with. Whilst economists will argue whether we now have a recession or depression, the world will go into a long re-awakening after the social and economic devastation caused by a tiny unseen virus.

We can be assured that life will continue but things will NOT be the same again. We will all emerge into a battered and bruised new ’normal’.

What will things be like when this is all over?

Will things snap magically back into place?

No.

How messed up will things be and how long will it take for our lives to get back to where they were, if ever? [Read more…]

HOW PAST PANDEMINCS CAN PREPARE BUSINESSES TO FACE THE COVID 19 CORONAVIRUS

Prefer to listen? Click HERE :

The impact that the Covid 19 pandemic has on individuals psychologically, socially, and financially can be devastating. Understanding past pandemics and their adverse effects on people’s lives, as well as the economy, can help us learn from these past events.

You can survive the pandemic by avoiding making the same mistakes made in the past. You can also come out sane by adopting some of the preventative measures taken in the past and adopting the right attitudes and reflexes.

One example of a global pandemic that had devastating impacts on the economy and people’s lives, in general, is the 1918 Spanish flu. Many lessons can be drawn from the global pandemic that had severe economic and psychological consequences on businesses and individuals.

SOME OF THE LESSONS YOU CAN LEARN FROM PAST PANDEMICS [Read more…]
