One thought on “412 active Covid cases in Durham

  1. We are all at risk of getting this virus. WebMD website states that the Coronavirus thrives in the nasal passages and lives in the throat and lungs. So the trick to reducing the severity is to make the environment uncomfortable for the virus and reduce the amount of virus in the body to allow your immune system to react properly and not overcompensate.
    How?
    For eleven years I have been treating allergies with a nasal rinse (Medical grade Neil Med). The surprise is that at over seventy years old I have had 3 minor colds in 11 years.
    I am presenting this as a possibility by treating the corona virus as the flu and use one of the many commercially available sinus rinses and steam technologies available to reduce the severity of the virus.

    Some cautions:
    1. This is uncomfortable and not for everyone.
    2. Pass this by a medical professional.
    3. Read and follow the directions that come with the product you purchase.
    4. Research needs to be done to determine if this can be used as a preventive measure.
    5. Not for children or anyone with health issues.
