Coronavirus and Lungs

We here in the Ozarks are just getting cases of the virus. Schools are closed, most business are closed and churches are closed and people are staying home. One problem with the virus is the incubation and fast spreading. And the damage to your lungs is permanent whatever your age. You get it and survive but your lungs are damaged for life- any age. This means you have compromised lung capacity for the rest of your life- instant asthma. You can read more about it here:

Stay away from others and wash your hands. We in the Ozarks are used to avoiding others and keeping to ourselves. It is much harder in the big cities.
Check in on neighbors who are alone, single parents and the elderly. Always have gloves and a mask with you/on you. Disinfect your hands and mask. You can reuse your mask, disinfect it and then put in a plastic baggie until needed again. 
And don't forget about pets. Sometimes the sick can't care for their pets. Offer to help in that task. Hope you all keep safe and healthy.

The company is not making them and so people stepped up. Here is a way we can save lives: https://www.3dprintingmedia.network/covid-19-3d-printed-valve-for-reanimation-device/
