Corona Virus - Fact and Fiction

What's True/What's False

 With all the false information being spread about the corona virus (Covid-19) , I've decided to add this page to my site for the benefit of my visitors.  Only the true facts of the virus supported by the medical community will  appear and the false information will be debunked. There are lives at stake, particularly in the radio community where the age demographic skews older and those are the people who's lives are most at risk. Tune in regularly for updates as the situation changes.

 This information is for reference only. If you think you may be ill call your doctor.  Follow the advice of your doctor or other medical professionals and stay safe. I want all of us in the radio collection community to get through this safely, I wish you all the best.

False !!

Injecting yourself with a disinfectant is a way to treat the virus.

 DO NOT inject yourself with disinfectants, it is very dangerous.  Household cleaners are poisonous when injected or ingested.

True

The death rate for the Corona Virus is much higher than the flu. The survival rate is also affected by the quality and availability of healthcare in different areas of the world. Estimate vary widely from a death rate of 10 to 40 times higher than the flu.

True

 Quarantine  procedures work. There is overwhelming agreement in the medical community that having non-essential workers and their families stay home an not go out in public, except for food and medicine, works. People who do not follow this advice make things worse by risking spreading the virus further to other people. Ending quarantine procedures too early could allow the virus to spread again and overwhelm the hospitals and healthcare system in general.

False

Chloroquine is a cure for the virus - Chloroquine  failed to work against the Corona Virus.

True

Hand Sanitizers - They must have at least a 60% alcohol content to be effective against the virus. (Center For Disease Control - CDC)

True

Stealth Contagion - One major difference with the corona virus and others is that an infected person can spread the virus before symptoms appear.

Maybe

If you have had the virus can  you become infected again? - Maybe, there have been some early indications from China that those who have had the virus and recovered may have protection against reinfection, but there is no official word yet as to whether its true or not.
