Although there is prob one good test out there, it is not likely that test would be used by most medical institutions. First of all, much testing is faulty. Then, there are so many people who are symptomless even if they test positive. It is my understanding that there are now 30 mutations. I question whether any test or treatment is effective in all of them. I assume that if I show up at ER and am in need of life support, that will be obvious without a test. I would have to be pretty bad to go to ER for COVID or anything else. &nbsp;</p> <p>Our plan is to set aside a flat basket of remedies with step by step directions on how to administer them and for what purpose. I believe many natural remedies are superior to standard medicine--and there are so many different types. Of course, if nutrient levels and diet are optimal (esp. vitamins D, C, K2), along with good clean living (exercise, fresh air, sunshine, good water), it is unlikely I will contract any illness.</p> <p>I admit that my housekeeping has suffered due to working outdoors a lot since spring. I am not fanatic about wiping stuff down. -But then, we do not go to town a lot and have not had people indoors. We are good about hand washing. On rare occasions I go to town, I wear a mask to keep from scaring people or being harassed. Not much more. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am just not worried about germs. I remember my grandma would say, &quot;Good clean country dirt will not hurt you. &nbsp;It is the city dirt that makes you sick.&quot; I think that is true. </p> <p>I stopped to help a stranger the other day. He was intimidated. Could not figure out why a little old lady would scare someone who obviously had been in a lot of trouble in his life. Then, I looked in the mirror. I had been working in the dirt and my face was literally black &nbsp;(good rich soil!), esp. my nose &amp; cheeks. Plus the ragged work clothes I was wearing. I found it quite amusing to think I had scared someone I should prob have been afraid of.</p>
