Worried about illness.
Micronutrients may be the answer.
Micronutrients are crucial nutrients that are
required throughout life, in small quantities—sometimes even
minuscule quantities. You
may know micronutrients by other names such as vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants and immune-supporting substances
called phytochemicals (complex compounds found in plants).
These substances play many vital roles in our lives
including supporting our metabolism and fighting off free
radicals in the body.
In fact, even though the requirement is
small, micronutrients are vital to maintaining good health
and protecting your body from potential ailments. And,
often deficiencies in these vital nutrients can more often
than not result in illness. With that, your body is
constantly making use of these essential micronutrients
making it crucial to keep up your supply.
Defend was formulated to support your immune system with
a combination of superfoods, including 6 species of
medicinal mushrooms, organic Wild Microalgae,
and other botanicals, all filled with these invaluable
micronutrients.

Carroll County Coronavirus information.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause
illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to
cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe
diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes
coronavirus disease COVID-19.
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently
discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the
outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and
dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose,
sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually.
Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel
unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special
treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously
ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying
medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more
likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough and difficulty
breathing should seek medical attention.
People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The
disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or
mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These
droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch
COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose
or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a
person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is
important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick.
Studies to date suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly
transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the
air.
The main way the disease spreads is through
respiratory droplets expelled by someone who is coughing. The risk of catching
COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at all is very low. However, many people
with COVID-19 experience only mild symptoms. This is particularly true at the
early stages of the disease. It is therefore possible to catch COVID-19 from
someone who has, for example, just a mild cough and does not feel ill. WHO is
assessing ongoing research on the period of transmission of COVID-19 and will
continue to share updated findings.
You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading
COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions:
-
Regularly and thoroughly
clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and
water.
Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub
kills viruses that may be on your hands.
-
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself
and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from
their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can
breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing
has the disease.
-
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated,
hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the
virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
-
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good
respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent
elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue
immediately.
Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect
the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
-
Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and
difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the
directions of your local health authority.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information
on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care
provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also
protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
-
Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19.
Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local
public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others
from COVID-19.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information
on whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise
on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.
-
Keep up to date on the latest COVID-19 hotspots (cities or
local areas where COVID-19 is spreading widely). If possible, avoid traveling
to places – especially if you are an older person or have diabetes, heart or
lung disease.
Why? You have a higher chance of catching COVID-19 in one of these areas
49th
The risk depends on where you are - and more specifically,
whether there is a COVID-19 outbreak unfolding there.
For most people in most locations the risk of catching COVID-19
is still low. However, there are now places around the world (cities or areas)
where the disease is spreading. For people living in, or visiting, these areas
the risk of catching COVID-19 is higher. Governments and health authorities are
taking vigorous action every time a new case of COVID-19 is identified. Be sure
to comply with any local restrictions on travel, movement or large gatherings.
Cooperating with disease control efforts will reduce your risk of catching or
spreading COVID-19.
COVID-19 outbreaks can be contained and transmission stopped, as
has been shown in China and some other countries. Unfortunately, new outbreaks
can emerge rapidly. It’s important to be aware of the situation where you are or
intend to go. WHO publishes daily updates on the COVID-19 situation worldwide.
