Incubation And Isolation – How Can We Tell?
Is the incubation and isolation something we can tell for ourselves? Can we determine whether we are ill?
They are saying some people are asymptomatic; some people are carriers without showing any real signs. Does that mean they have antibodies, that they are naturally immune, or does it mean that they are yet to show any signs of infection? Are they silent carriers, going about their daily lives, quietly passing on, quite innocently, this disease?
Some are saying that Coronavirus, COVID-19, can stay on surfaces for up to 72 hours. How many people touch a shop door handle? How many people push a shopping trolley? How many people handle different things, in their day to day lives, over a 72 hour period?
Are they keeping the true extent of this disease’s spread, its capability to spread, from us?
What is the incubation period, from infection to demonstrating, to showing signs? Is it a one size fits all or is it different for every single person? Is there a set time, like boiling an egg? Or is it down to the individual and their state of health? And if that be the case, how do we know that in China or India, some of the most densely populated countries of the world, that there are not millions of as yet undiagnosed, undiscovered infected people?
Is that not what a real pandemic is? Is that not what the Spanish Flu was?
Is that now not why all these countries are blocking their borders, to keep it in or to keep us out?
Have they ever told us the truth about anything? Why should they suddenly start now?
What makes you think that they can afford to spread panic and fear? Yes, we need to keep hope alive. We need to keep ourselves alive. We need to take this seriously. They say they are relying on scientific advice, they say they are trying to slow the spread, they say not to worry.
But people do worry, it is a natural instinct when feeling threatened, we cannot escape it. We just have to deal with it. How long might this go on? How much propaganda might we have to endure? What will happen to our jobs, our lives, our futures? What will happen to the education system, the futures of the children?
Some people are saying the peak is over, the disease is in decline. Others are saying this can go on for 18 months or more. How long is that in our lives, having to live together, closely together, for prolonged periods of time?
How will that affect our relationships? How will it affect our minds?
How many people will cope?
Will you?
