COVID-19, the disease caused by the new novel coronavirus, has created a situation wherein the irrationality and illogic of society is revealed in full, as is the stupidity of people in society.

Country after country are placing their citizens in quarantine, lockdown, or similar restrictions to movement and social contact. But these are not means by which to prevent the spread of something like this or any other coronavirus.

The precautions for preventing the spread of the coronavirus are already well documented and can be checked against the procedures in place in countries around the world. Here is an example from the UK's National Health Service website on how to avoid spreading the common cold, a coronavirus which behaves in spreading precisely the same way a COVID-19 spreads:

How to prevent catching a cold

A person with a cold can start spreading it from a few days before their symptoms begin until the symptoms have finished.

The best ways to avoid catching a cold are:
washing your hands with warm water and soap
not sharing towels or household items (like cups) with someone who has a cold
not touching your eyes or nose in case you have come into contact with the virus – it can infect the body this way
staying fit and healthy

Nowhere does it say to avoid social contact. It does instead suggest that social contact spreads through the things we touch, and advises us, wisely, to take care of ourselves, not isolate ourselves. It also says what's most important: to stay healthy. Why? Because a virus is a simple thing for the human immune system to fight. The ONLY reason we suffer from the common cold is that human immune systems are significantly stressed by the toxins in our food and elsewhere in our environment.

This is not a supposition, it is a fact. Looking at the demographics of those most adversely affected by COVID-19 (those who die) tells the whole story: only unhealthy people are dying. But I do have a personal perspective which sheds significant light on this fact that the medical and scientific communities have yet to fully understand: I suffer from a condition which requires me to eliminate anything from my diet which in any way taxes my immune system. This means I can eat meat and drink water, nothing more. Anything else affects my immune system in a very obvious way. This means that if you are eating anything but meat and drinking anything but water, that you are stressing your immune system.

Line of Defense Against COVID-19:

A logical line of defense emerges from this basic understanding of how our immune system is affected and how the virus spreads in the community which counters what governments are doing and which is unfortuntely giving the wrong people a false sense of security:

First Line of Defense: Health.
If your immune system is busy dealing with toxins, allergens, and microbes from the food you eat, medicines you take, liquids you drink, supplements you take, and even the air you breathe, then your immune system isn't as free to work on invasions by this or any other virus or bacterial infection.

This is the first line of defense because it is the first priority in what you should be concerned with. If you are exposed to the virus, it is the only way your body can avoid becoming infected. And if you are in poor health otherwise, strengthening your immune system is in fact the ONLY thing you can actually do to prevent dying from the virus.

The healthiest thing you can do to protect yourself is to eliminate all foods that your body needs to protect you from, and as far as I know and based on my personal experience, that means clean red meat, in my case a combination in about equal parts of beef, mutton, and goat meats. Fish is okay too as long as the toxin load is low or non-existent or otherwise doesn't affect your immune system. And in addition to only eating red meat, drinking only water and unflavored, unsweetened mineral water is the best way to be sure. As one who eats the same exact meal, twice a day, every day, I can tell you that you will not stay bored with your food. It is food after all, and your health is important. And if you are susceptible to dying from COVID-19, eating only meat and drinking only water should be a worthwhile price to pay for surviving this.

Additionally, and perhaps more importantly to some, is our stress level. Stress is an attack on our bodies which our immune systems must fight, and in fact often represents our immune system attacking our own body in a betrayal that makes us doubly susceptible to actual attacks such as the coronavirus. So, chill out, relax, smoke a bowl (that's also good for your health in this case!), or whatever you need to do in order to reduce your stress levels.


Second Line of Defense: Hygiene.
There are things you can do, habits you can have, to minimize your exposure to viral, bacterial, and fungal infectious agents. Being aware and conscientious about the potential transfer of microbes from surfaces to your body is the most important habit to have because it forms the basis for all habits, including the need to wash your hands properly before eating and after any potential exposure to risky surfaces or locations such as bathrooms and places where large numbers of people congregate for long periods of time or where they eat (theaters, food courts, restaurants, grocery stores.)

If you are truly concerned about COVID-19 because your health and immune system are compromised, then the best thing you can do is assume the virus is on every surface everywhere and be sure to wash your hands after touching any surface. Don't go crazy though, the stress will make things worse.


Third and Final Line of Defense: Physical (not social) Isolation.
Social isolation is not only ineffective, it provides a false sense of security that is endangering the entire population of this planet. The reason is because MOST transmission of the virus is through contact with surfaces that have been infected, either by the virus physically landing on surfaces, or transferring from infected people.

What good does it do to avoid social contact with someone who is infected when that person, for example, stocks the shelves at the store you get your groceries delivered from.

Therefore, to prevent the spread of the virus you must once again be conscientious of how it spreads, especially it's ability to live on surfaces. The best practice is to simply ensure that the virus cannot survive on the surfaces of anything you might bring into your home. But since I'm not at all concerned about the virus affecting me, you'll have to figure out how to sterilize what comes into your home on your own. 10% bleach solution is the only advice I will offer.
