I realize that CNN is not the channel of choice for many reading this.
But, for now, may I suggest not cutting off your nose to spite your face. It might be worth going to the website and finding the video of Chris Cuomo talking about how he is fighting the virus.
Chris Cuomo has been broadcasting from his basement where he is quarantined. Last night he talked about a phone call from a pulmonologist who gave some straight forward advice.
In summary:
No matter how exhausted you are, do not lie down for this virus.
It wants your lungs. (Cuomo showed his lung x-ray. There was some infiltrate.)
Stretch your torso with hands above your head.
Take deep breaths and hold those breaths. (I think this is to try to expand the alveoli.)
Doing these things will hurt like hell but could mean survival.
(I think the pulmonologist said to control fever spikes with Tylenol, but I need to look at the video again to be sure.)
I suggest that you find Cuomo’s short video and see this info for yourself, no matter how you feel about CNN. It is surreal to see Cuomo documenting his illness on television. But historical research librarians would call this info a primary source.
