Coping with the big scare

Here’s some real advice about You Know What that actually seems more useful than some of the statements dominating the media and rather a lot of

conversations about the present-day plague.

It comes from a really thoughtful lady from across the pond, who sent what seems the best advice that I’ve seen so far.

Gerry Roos and her friends emailed this message onto more than a hundred people, with a copy to me, and via me to you ... and heaven knows how many more.

Worthy advice

The advice is worth passing on because it comes from one of the highest authorities we might hope to hear from.

He's a medic in the thick of it yet who seems uninvolved in politics and any desire for fame.

He’s on the staff in Shenzhen Hospital, in Guangdong Province, China.

He sent the advice to relations living in the US.

For the wary

Here it is for we wary folk in the UK.

1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold.

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the sun.  Continues on the blogs for my ocean adventuring book, Sailing to Purgatory, at
