Covid-19 on the Up rise. What can you do to fight a virus?
I have spoken to many people that have endured a virus such as the flu. I spoke to the first person today by telephone that informed me she had contracted Covid-19. I was really surprised because a couple of weeks ago she texted asking me to pray for her grandson. Yesterday she had left me a voicemail checking in on me and my recovery from surgery.
At the end of the phone call today I was left thinking , "I wish I was closer to Nebraska to personally deliver a "Care Package." However, I will depend on USPS to help me out with delivery. In addition, a few prayers are going up for this senior and her sister that both tested positive whom has to stay with her while the brother in law is hospitalized.
Disclosure: I am by far, not a medical doctor. Please consult your physician for medical advice.
I have a few suggestions for home remedies to reduce discomforts of a virus, especially when many doctors are not prescribing medication.
