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.

During this current pandemic many inmates are suffering.  There are a high number of infections and deaths at many institutions.  Inmates are writing in and sharing their panics of being locked in rooms with no access to toilets, no air conditioning, denial of phone access on the "FREE CALL DAYS", and very little PPE protection being distributed.  Most facilities are locked down 23 hours a day.  These conditions are very taxing on any human being. Some prisons have made masks from old inmate uniforms. Some facilities are making hand sanitizer, but it is not enough to keep the staff nor the inmates safe. Phone calls, letters, texts, postcards, and greeting cards are ways to inspire and encourage the inmates to keep pushing on.  After all, these are your future neighbors. You can help! Supplies needed at institutions: Feminine hygiene products Hand sanitizer Ingredients to make hand sanitizer: 70% alcohol, aloe vera gel, essential oil Face masks/Face shiel
