Thanks to Nicole DeAnda Van Cleve for sharing this on FB... ⠀ "👑Novel #Coronavirus #COVID-19👑 ⠀ I'm getting lots of questions about this... so lets chat. ⠀ A little history ➡️ The name Corona comes from the shape of the virus because it looks like a crown with the spikes extending off it. ➡️ There are SEVEN coronaviruses (The first was discovered in the 1960s) ➡️ Most people have had a corona virus which has symptoms like a common cold ➡️ SARS and MERS are also coronaviruses (We lived through those FYI) ➡️The Novel Coronavirus is a mutation and new... thus called Novel ⠀ Who is at higher risk? ⚠️Elderly ⚠️Immunocompromised ⚠️Underlying autoimmune issues (There have been no deaths for children 9 and younger) ⠀ ✅Dos & Don'ts❌ ❌ Don't make out with people who just traveled from China! A little humor but direct contact, droplets from coughing and sneezing pass it from one person to another. ❌ Don't hang out with people who are coughing or sneezing! (Coughs can spread viruses up to 15 feet; sneezes can spread it up to 25 feet) ❌ Don't touch surfaces and then touch your eyes, nose or put your hands in your mouth! These are points of entry. ❌ Turn off the mass hysteria of the news. ✅ WASH YO HANDS THE RIGHT WAY! This means soap, water and friction for THIRTY seconds. Sing your ABCs while you scrub! Below is a picture where I used Glo-Germ on my hands to show hand washing times and effectiveness. ✅ Boost your immune system with Vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea, and Elderberry ✅ Having a healthy gut is important! Take probiotics! ✅ I'll be over here using my Envirocloth to wipe down hard surfaces while I'm out and about living my life. (But If you are using those Anti-Bacterial wipes I challenge you to read 🧐 the instructions on how to get the 99% effectiveness. You must keep the surface visibly wet for FOUR SOLID minutes so that means keep pulling wipes and wiping that surface for that entire time. 😳 Then you need to wash the surface with water after to remove the chemical residue. Oh, and you need to wear gloves while doing this. 😳” ditto! . . #covid19outbreak #allthingsgreenliving #autoimmuneissues #gethealthy #washyourhands #probiotics #antibacterialwipes (at Santa Maria, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XR5FtB8AA/?igshid=m30i6ppv8fa2

So, I just cut 6" off my hair. It's still long, but that's only because I told myself to stop. I'm nervous and it's usually my hair length or color that changes then. I'll show it tomorrow. For now, bed or a movie if I'm still awake in an hour. Goodnight. #wishmeluck #newdoc #testresults #nextmove #autoimmuneissues https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjZAV5je-7/?igshid=jlal7e46t4me

#TeamNoSleep in the house! I've assembled a shelf, purged the magazine rack, cleaned the fridge, dumped trash, am cooking tonight's and tomorrow's dinner (with leftovers), and will hopefully have the energy to do dishes. Stupid pain and fatigue make me go into what used to be normal mode on days off so I can function on work days. I legitimately forget what I'm doing sometimes when a flare is near. I've been in flare mode for about 6 months now with a few good days here and there. 9 days until my appointment. I can hang until then. I think. I just need to nap when I can, stay hydrated, and eat well. #stupidfibro #stupidpain #autoimmuneissues #cfs #spinalissues #chronicpain #spoonie #spoonielife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLNijFAseG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ega7o1sehqap

This weekend I developed a case of hardcore heartburn, the kind that made me think for a second I was having a heart attack. I shit you not. My heart was legitimately on fire and I had to post about it because that’s how you complain about things now that no one really wants to hear about all the time. Or maybe that’s just me....
