April 01, 2020 | The Biafra Telegraph

In the third day into the government shutdown of my State, I have been studying various articles from Experts in the Health sector, and also from survivors of this pandemic virus.

Today, I want to share my thoughts with you all, and hope you find it useful.

What is COVID-19?

"According to WHO, Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered Coronavirus".

As at today 1st April 2020, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for it, though there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments.

MY VALUABLE FINDINGS
1. Coronavirus is not a living organism but a protein molecule. It cannot be killed but rather it decays on its own. The disintegration time all depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it dropped.

▪If it drops on FABRIC, it takes about 4-5 hours to disintegrate.
▪If it drops on PLASTIC, it can wait between 4-5 days before it disintegrates.
▪If it drops on ALUMINUM, it can stay between 2-8 hours.
▪If it drops on a PAPER, it can steak for 4-5 days.
▪If it drops on your SURGICAL GLOVES, it can last for 8 hours.
▪If it's on a GLASS, it can remain for 4 days
▪If it drops on a STEEL, it can wait between 42-48 hours.
▪If it falls on a WOOD, it will wait for 3-4 days
▪In your palms, it hangs between 7-10 minutes.

2. The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial, as air conditioners in houses and cars. They also need moisture to stay stable, and, especially, darkness.

3. THE NATURE OF COVID-19
It is very very fragile in nature. Since it is not a living organism, the only thing protecting this deadly virus is a THIN OUTER LAYER OF FAT.

4. Because Covid-19 is not a living organism, it cannot cause havoc without first being absorbed by cells in human body through the eye, nose or mouth.

5. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT GAINS ACCESS INTO YOUR BODY CELLS?
At this stage, there is mutation, the virus converts them into Aggressor and Multiplier Cells. It starts building very thick mucus in the Throat, thereby stopping air flow in airways, nasal chamber etc.
If the case is not battled early enough, it degenerates down the lungs and there is congestion which leads to Respiratory failure and most times Death. Now, you see why victims need Ventilators.

Let's be reminded that the incubation period of Covid-19 is about 14 days. What it means is that if you contact it, you will most definitely observe some of the symptoms within the period.

7. HOW DOES COVID-19 SPREAD FROM PERSON TO PERSON?
 ▪ It can spread between People who are in close physical contact.
 ▪ It can spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. When an infected person sneezes, he can produce up to 10,000 droplets while a single cough can produce up to 3,000 droplets. This is why every reasonable government starts by banning public gatherings.

▪ It can also be spread when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it and then unconsciously touches own mouth, nose or possibly the Eyes.

▪ Covid-19 becomes airborne because of its ability to hang in the air for some hours from a sneeze or cough by an infected person. It can drop off on the nose of a passer-by.

▪The Virus cannot go through a healthy Skin unless you assist it unconsciously by picking it up with your hands and dropping in your mouth or nostrils unconsciously.

NOTE: An infected person can spread it even before he falls ill or shows any symptom. This is why countries preach social distancing.

8. SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
WHO has come up with some basic symptoms of a likely case of Covid-19.

▪ Mild to moderate respiratory illness
▪ Dry cough
▪ Fever

I have read and listened to some survivors who have given different situations entirely. Meaning, the symptoms doesn't necessarily have to be same.

There are some, who didn't observe any of the symptoms above. They just lost energy and could not stand. There is another lady from NY who simply said she noticed a regular irritating itching under her throat and suddenly, she was losing strength and the next day she tested positive.

A friend of mine on Facebook said, his Dad just dropped without a single symptom, tested positive for Covid-19 and died two days after.

What I personally advise my family and friends is, KEEP TO SOME HOME THERAPY ADVICES AND IF YOU NOTICE ANY FORM OF UNUSUAL BODY CHANGES, GET TO YOUR FEET AND DO SOMETHING.

9. HOW TO PREVENT COVID-19 FROM SPREADING OR GETTING INTO YOUR SYSTEM

Because this virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule covered by a protective layer of thin lipid (Fat), this exposes its fragility to us.

▪Soap or detergent is the best remedy to combat this monster when it is still on surfaces or body.
This is so because the foam cuts the thin Fat and dissolves the fat layer, then the Protein Molecule (Covid-19) disperses and breaks down on its own and becomes powerless.

▪HEAT: Because heat melts Fats, this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything.

▪ Alcohol or any mixture with Alcohol over 65% dissolves any fat. This is how it combats Covid-19.

▪Bleach in water dissolves Protein Molecule by breaking it from the inside.

▪ Practice regular intake of hot water, tea, coffee etc.

▪No Spirits nor Vodka can serve because you need not less than 65% alcohol and the strongest Vodka is 40%.

▪Avoid Air-conditioned cars or places because it is comfortable areas for the Virus. Ventilate your home regularly

▪ Regular Washing of your hands helps a great deal because it is the hands that helps to move the virus to the mouth or nose. Since the Virus can last for about 10-15 minutes in your hands, regular washing can disintegrate it before you move it to your face unknowingly.

▪ Sanitizers are great this period of time too. Make sure your hand SANITIZERS are up to 70% Alc/vol.

▪Wear your Nose masks and hand gloves when you are going out.

▪Cut your nails because this virus can find place deep under your nails as a hiding zone while waiting to be moved into your body.

▪Make use of our God given weather by putting your clothes under the heat of the Sun each time you return from outside.

▪Stay at Home as instructed by Government. This can help control the spread.

10. WHEN YOU OBSERVE LIKELY SYMPTOMS - DAY 1
Don't panic💪🏼
▪Take very hot water at intervals, you can add a little ginger or Tea very frequently

▪ Put hot water in a bowl and drop menthol in it. Cover your head with a towel around it and inhale from the hot steam.

▪The video attached here is a narration of a survivor who said she survived it by sprinkling water on her face and using her hand Dryer directly on her Nose blowing gently, thereby inhaling very hot air at intervals until her nasal tract got cleared of the mucus that was suffocating her.

▪ Another Nigerian in the USA said she survived it when she resolved to African home therapy. She boiled water with Lime, Uzziza and Uda, she poured into a bucket and covered her naked body with a towel around it. Breathing very hot air from the steam and her entire body was dripping water from the steam. She did it repeatedly and got her nasal tract decongested from mucus.

The summary of this is, COVID-19 cannot stand heat. Do whatever you can to heat up the nasal tract and you will demobilize it from your system.

This is my humble search and conclusion, subject to correction from the authorities.

IT IS SAID THAT ....

CHINA survived it or rather controlled the spread because it's Government and citizens took every precaution very seriously. They shut down their system very quickly.

EUROPE
The rate of casualties in Europe is highest because they were nonchalant when the Virus broke in China. They were not prepared.

NIGERIA
Will the irresponsible Leadership and ignorance of the poor Masses cause us more casualties?
God forbids!
