The Wuhan virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed at a temperature 26 - 27 degrees. Therefore, drink more hot water. Go under the sun. It has been cold recently and drinking hot water is also very comfortable. It is not a cure and is good for the body. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink ice, remember!
Doctors' advice about coronavirus :-
(a) It is pretty large in size (cell is about 400 - 500 nm in diameter, so any normal mask (not just
the N95 feature) should be able to filter it. However, when someone who's infected sneezes in
front of you, it will take a great 3 metres (about 10 ft) before it drops to the ground and is no
longer airborne.
(b) When the virus drops on metallic surface, it will live for at least 12 hours. So remember if you
come in contact with any metal, wash your hands with soap thoroughly.
(c) The virus can remain active on fabric for 6 - 12 hours. Normal laundry detergent should kill the
virus. For winter clothing that does not require daily washing, you can put it out under the sun to
kill the virus.
About the symptoms of the pneumonia caused by coronavirus :-
(a) It will first infect the throat resulting in 'a dry sore throat' feeling which will last for 3 to 4 days.
(b) Then the virus will blend into the nasal fluid and drips into the trachea and enter the lungs,
causing pneumonia. This process will take 5 to 6 days.
(c) With pneumonia, comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. The nasal congestion is not like
the normal kind. You will feel like you are drowning in water. It's important to go and seek
immediate medical attention if you feel like this.
About prevention :-
(a) The most common way of getting infected is by touching things in a public place, so you must
wash your hands frequently. The virus can only live on your hands for 5 - 10 minutes (You can
rub your eyes or pick your nose unwittingly).
(b) Aside from washing your hands frequently, you can gargle with Betadine Sore Throat Gargle to
eliminate or minimise the germs while they are still in your throat (before dripping down to your
lungs).
Folks, take extra care and drink plenty of water!

Got up at our usual time, went through the chores when Valsala and her daughter, Sreelekshmi fetched up after their 'darshan' of Guruvayurappan. They'd travelled by the night train from Kottayam, after leaving Neelamperoor. They were with us till afternoon as they boarded the 1305 hrs passenger train for Thrissur. After dropping them, had topped up the Chevy and checked its tyre pressure.
Meanwhile, Lekha had got a message from her friend at Palakkad to reach there by 10, tomorrow morning, for completing the formalities regarding the sale of her dad's house there. Immediately, tied up with George to ferry us up and down in his cab. On return, we set off for Kottarakkara to attend three important activities spread over the next three days.
It's gonna be hectic tomorrow and I only hope that my drive during the dark hours is down to the barest minimum!
PS.
The results of the Delhi Assembly elections are out. Kejriwal's AAP has made a clean sweep by winning 62 of the 70 seats, leaving only 8 to the BJP.
