Brief Introduction
What you need to know to protect yourself and your family from COVID-19.Description
The authors sort through the medical literature to find the truth about coronavirus in a way that is both entertaining and easily understood.
Useful information from trusted sources like the WHO and the CDC are summarized and presented in a readable, richly-illustrated format. Sources are cited, and hyperlinked so that you can dig deeper, and separate facts from hysteria.
Common misconceptions are explored that will help you better protect you and your family. Is SARS-CoV-2 an engineered bioweapon? (No, it isn't) Are you worried focusing on the right things to protect yourself? The emphasis on hand washing is good practice, but this virus spreads through the air. Understanding that simple fact should guide your behavior.
The authors take useful information, and rather than simply repeat is from the media, they interpret it. For example, the research shows that virtually everybody who has COVID-19 has a fever. This is essential information, because you can rule out COVID-19 infection at home without the test; if you don't have a fever, you almost certainly don't have this virus. Equally important, if you have any kind of fever, you need to isolate yourself, especially from the vulnerable, because fever is often the only symptom you have, and you could spread it to somebody without even knowing you are sick.
Estimates of mortality rates have been made that simply divide total infections by the number of deaths. But for a rapidly expanding infection that takes weeks to kill, these calculations could be seriously off. Will statistics gathered from China apply to other places?
These and other relevant questions are answered to inform you about how viruses spread, and how viruses that come from animal enter the human population. We cover testing, treatments, and vaccinations. The book describes the immune system, and explain how dietary supplements might help, but could also be dangerous.
