Thanks.
Meanwhile,how long does it take to recover from the virus.
What treatment is being administered to manage the symptoms?
Recovery for people with no underlying condition is up to 14 days. If you have a condition then it can be longer or never.
Treatment involves anti-virals, chloroquine, some Chinese traditional medicine, and assisted breathing. Symptoms may be alleviated using bruphen, paracetamol, piriton, depending on the patient.
So do we stock up on those meds?
Chinese medicine ni gani and where do we get it from?
France sounded a warning regards the use of bruphen and advocated for paracetamol. Paracetamol consumption on the other hand can easily lead to liver poisoning. Stocking up in these times may lead to panic consumption and worsen things.
On the other hand it may not be easy to stock up on anti-virals and chloroquine.
I can see that there are Kenyan scholars who have worked on papers regarding Kenyan herbs. We could also use that if need be.
The WHO - China committee recommended that the first intervention and or treatment needs to be non-pharmaceutical in nature. And I believe I can discern some reasons, especially when we consider those who are most vulnerable and how Covid overtakes them.
To that end I believe that we should not just process stats, but we should also process related publications to find out ways we can attain the ideal of non-pharmaceutical intervention.
It would irresponsible of me to recommend an option that is likely to be of no great value. Look at the countries with the highest deaths, they are not searching for bruphen. Instead they are searching for masks and cylinders. It means they have enough piriton but it's not working.
I believe that we have a non-pharmaceutical option that can be supported by less usage of drugs. And that if we need anti-virals, we can even cultivate and use our herbs.
