Coronavirus Lessons from Wuhan

Coronavirus Lessons
Emergency preparedness lessons learned from Wuhan

Coronavirus lessons learned.
The people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the disease, did many
things incorrectly to spread the virus. This fact is not a political
statement, but it is an acknowledgement that suppression of
information can lead to mass casualties.

The virus spread quickly because the Chinese Government
botched things at the onset of the outbreak. Yes, the Chinese
were sloppy and they suppressed information and this spread the
virus. There's nothing political about this.

Coronavirus Lessons From Wuhan
If this virus has taught humanity anything at all, it's that we are
all connected. It took a pandemic for humanity to understand and
now we must first come together as a nation so that we can help
the world prevent Coronavirus. We can mitigate the effects and
put politics aside.

Below are the lessons learned from Wuhan...

Lesson #1: People will die using masks incorrectly.
Ordinary citizens don't know the correct way to put on or take off
a mask properly.

There are any number of ways people use masks incorrectly:

They don't wash their hands before putting on the mask.
They don't take the mask off properly
They have a beard (masks do not fit properly for beards).
They reuse a "one use only" disposable mask.

How to mitigate Coronavirus with lessons learned:

Learn how to use an N95 mask properly.

Lesson #2: Aerosols may be spreading the disease.
Overzealous use of disinfectants is not advised. One lesson from
Coronavirus is that video evidence from Wuhan shows the
Chinese government authorities used massive amounts of
disinfectants on its people. They sprayed people directly and
pumped disinfectant aerosols in the air. Unfortunately, this may
have inadvertently spread the disease by lifting the virus off of
surfaces and transporting them directly to eyes, nose and mouth
of anyone nearby.

The happypreppers.com advises that you do NOT spray kids with
aerosol disinfectants after picking them up from school. Video
shows parents doing this ill-advised method. Coronavirus is a
tricky virus and the aerosols may inadvertently bring contagion
directly to your nose and mouth. Other methods can help you
mitigate the

Lesson #3: Standing in lines will spread the disease.
Don't stand in line for N95 masks (order them online if you can).
Another lesson garnered from the Wuhan Coronavirus experience
is that video evidence shows massive amounts of people in lines
desperately trying to get a household supply of N95 Masks. We
know that the virus likely spreads through respiratory droplets
produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. By standing
in line you are putting yourself in jeopardy of contracting
contagious material.

Coronavirus facts:

Coronavirus could pass between people 6-10 feet apart

How to mitigate Coronavirus with lessons learned:

Do not stand in line at pharmacies. Instead order online.
Avoid crowds and assemblies.

Lesson #4: The virus can survive in water.
It's not know whether Coronvirus transmits through water;
however, it is true that water-transmitted viral pathogens having
a moderate to high health significance by the World Health
Organization include adenovirus, astrovirus, hepatitis A, E
viruses, rotavirus, norovirus (caliciviruses) & enteroviruses
(coxsackieviruses & polioviruses). For Coronavirus, stock up on
bottled water, stackable water containers and a Berkey Water
Filter with black purification elements, pictured right. The Black
Berkey Purification Elements purify water—not just filter it,
reducing up to 99.999% of viruses and 99.9999% of pathogenic
bacteria. Removes protozoa, trihalomethanes, inorganic minerals,
heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, VOCs, petroleum
products, perfluorinated chemicals, rust, silt, sediment and
radiologicals too.

Lesson #5: The virus can survive in air.
Coronvirus

How to mitigate Coronavirus with lessons learned:

Use germicidal wipes in the car, then wash up at home.
Drop shoes, backpacks, briefcases and purses at the door
(and leave them on the floor or in a bin).
Get a HEPA filter.

Coronavirus facts:

Tests show Coronavirus can survive in the air.

Lesson #6: Money is tainted.
The virus can live on cash.

How to mitigate Coronavirus with lessons learned:

Use your credit or debit card instead of coins and bills.
Use gloves for the laundrymat if you need to use quarters.

Coronavirus facts:

Tests show

Lesson #7: Rice, pasta and T.P. are tops!
In Wuhan, the rice was the first to go. In Italy the pasta was the
first to go. In America the Toilet paper was the first to go.

We've assembled a list of Coronavirus food and supplies which
lists many items for your consideration of a home quarantine.

Lesson #8: Cremations.
Coronavirus is overwhelming funeral directors. Crematoriums will
As Bodies are being refrigerated.

Coronavirus Facts:

Leave the deceased body alone. Activities, such as
kissing, washing, and shrouding should be avoided before,
during, and after the body has been prepared, if possible.

Lesson #8: With pandemics come triage.
One lesson from the Coronavirus is that medical personnel will
assign degrees of urgency to Coronavirus patients to decide the
order of treatment. This happens when a large number of patients
or casualties come into a medical facility and overwhelms the
system. Patients will be left to die.

Triage assigns degrees of urgency to prioritize treatment when
there's a large number of patients or casualties. It happens in
war and pandemic for wounds and illnesses.

People over 80 do not have a good prognosis, so the healthcare
staff must prioritize.

Coronavirus facts:

Tests show

Did you know the first wave of the 1918 Spanish Flu wasn’t that
bad? Unfortunately, a second wave mutated in a much deadlier
form! The second wave hit hardest where the Spanish Flu hadn't
already been exposed. It other words, it hit harder where there
was a lower herd immunity.

Lesson #9: Children will be abandoned, orphaned.
It won't happen right away, but eventually some children in
America will be abandoned or orphaned. One thing's for sure, with
Coronavirus-related school closures and likely no camp activities
planned for the summer, it's probable that children will be
abandoned by day and then cared for by night during the coming
months ahead because working parents have no where to leave
their children. One thing we all must face with a global pandemic
is that children will be abandoned and orphaned around the world.
Thankfully the risk to children is currently low; however, likely
American children from low-income families are most at risk. Their
parents may work janitorial, make deliveries, work at a gas
station, or clerk at a grocery store.

Heartbreaking videos from Wuhan show young children alone in
apartments awaiting return of their hardworking parents. They are
left home alone to fend for themselves for meals, entertainment
and care. There are things you can do to isolate the problem.

How to mitigate Coronavirus with lessons learned:

Have plan for supervision. Daycares and schools will shut
and you will need a place for your children to be safe.
Unfortunately, it's a bad mix to have children with the
elderly. If this is the case, ensure you practice social
distancing. It's possible to direct some children from afar.
Another option is to share the responsibility of managing the
children with others in a similar situation, but this does pose
a risk of added exposure with other families.

Teach your children well. If you have young children, teach
them where to find protein bars and water. Are they strong
enough to open bottled water? Do they know how to open
the packages? Are your children old enough to trust?

Coronavirus facts:

Stories have emerged of children abandoned at airports in
Wuhan as a result of Coronavirus.
