Please calm down, take a deep breath and start preparing yourself.
When there is panic around, a simple cold or flu could also be perceived as a coronavirus infection. The experts say that it is not easy for an ordinary person to wear a respirator mask correctly. Wouldn't it be much more challenging for us laymen to be sure about the nature of the infectious organism when afflicted with cough cold and fever especially during these times? Hence it is best to take preventive measures and treat symptoms in a manner where you do not panic and blow simple issues out of proportion.
What we see in the news is only about those cases who have not made it through. Rarely do we get to hear from the thousands who have successfully fought the infection. If according to the worst case scenario the death rate is 2-3%, you have an overwhelming 97% chance of winning the war. What more do you want?
"What more do I want? Well, how to be in the 97% ?"
Here's how.....
