In order to fight the Coronavirus causing Covid-19 here are some things we must know about, First of all is that the virus enters your body through your eyes, nose or mouth, The virus can be in the air you breathe or on a surface your hands touch, That’s why you need to wear a mask, frequently wash your hands and don’t touch your face so much. Once the virus enters your body it attaches itself to the healthy cells with its spiky surface proteins, And uses them as factories to replicate itself and turn them into very efficient duplicating machines. Within 14 days of infection the symptoms start to appear and at first you may not pay attention, To the mild headache, dry cough, stomach-ache and mucus secretion. For most people the symptoms are fairly mild, but in some things can really get ugly, With chills, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite and headache making the body feel wobbly, And for people with underlying medical conditions the severe shortness of breath, Has in far too many cases resulted in suffering and ultimately death. So, if you have symptoms of Covid-19 here are some actions you are expected to take, To prevent yourself from infecting others you must make every effort to self-isolate. And if you are feeling very sick or are in a high-risk category because of an underlying disorder, You should not hesitate to call your primary care doctor or another medical practitioner. And what about all these treatments and remedies for Covid-19 that are in mass circulation, I would just caution you to use your brain and do your own investigation and evaluation, Many of us know from experience that for nasal stuffiness, inhaling steam is a practical solution, So inhaling steam cannot hurt even though it may be subjected to some speculation, As for the many herbal and natural concoctions, here’s what I have to say, “Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food” Hippocrates said in his day, God infused the herbs, fruits, vegetables with nutritional and medicinal properties, And when wisely combined and judiciously used they can treat and cure our maladies. Modern medicine relies on the treatment of disease symptoms with pharmaceuticals, But our bodies were created by God to respond to the natural and the botanicals. So, if like me you want to take care of your body the natural way, acquire the necessary information, Boost your immune system, exercise regularly, drink water, fast periodically and practice good nutrition.

Thank you. This was a very well thought out poem. I really liked the last two stanza which I highly agree with.
