This is encouraging.

The rest of the story about the Covid 19 vaccine and mRNA.

The article suggests that if masks are worn by 85 % to 95 % of people we could save 96,000 to 130, 000 lives.

There are about 140 companies working on a Covid 19 vaccine. Almost certainly we will be faced with having to choose which vacine or vacines to take. I suspect what may be needed eventually is several in one so more than one way of attacking the virus is included.

Bottom line: It's bad, we just don't know yet how bad and for how long.

The latest on Covid and skin. The article says that Covid 19 can last on skin up to 9 hours where influenza is about two. This underscores the importance of hand washing.

The short answer is probably 3 to 5 days, but remember, you could still come down with Covid 19 up to 2 weeks after exposure.

I have been recommending 10, not 6, feet. This is an interesting read but is at this point more theoretical than proven.

This test which is included in almost all Complete Blood Count ( CBC) tests will not predict if you are more prone to getting Covid 19 but rather if you have it you are more likely to get worse. The whole world is working on Covid 19 and we are slowly learning how to best deal with it.

Looking at some of my local restaurants with outside dinning,this is not surprising.

More evidence that most of us should be taking Vitamin D supplements daily Also note it is effective against other viruses as well.

In all likelihood, Covid 19 precautions, if done correctly, should also decrease influenza rates so don't let your guards down!
