COVID-19--Coronavirus has affected many in Wuhan and others in China inspite of complete lockdown by Chinese Govt. No one was allowed to leave their homes for over 2 months. Special workers delivered FOOD and Supplies to people who were in HOUSE ARREST--confined to their rooms. Business came to total standstill."500 million people were affected". This started on Jan.7th,2020 although Virus spread sometime in Dec.,2019.

Only recently,the Virus infections have slowed down along with death rate.

Dr Fauci is being listened to and his recommendations are being implemented with several groups from Military ,Govt.health centers and Private Sector like Quest Diagnostics,LabCorp, Walmart ,Roche ,Walgreen etc. The hope is that starting on Monday 16th March,testing will be speeded up and within a week,millions tests could be run to find out who tests Positive .They will be quarantined for 14-21 days. Google and others are developing a website-which based on Your Answers will guide You if You need Testing. It will tell You the closest place near You where YOU COULD BE TESTED with short WAIT time. Results will be sent to YOU,Your Doctor and Health department of Illinois to guide YOU .

You will be told to Drive to the nearest location in Walmart or Walgreen Parking Lot to get tested and then you will be notified in 24 hours whether Your results are Negative or Positive. Illinois Health dept. will help You in Quarantine --so as Not to Infect others.

When You feel better, You will be tested Twice--within 48 hours-if results are Negative,you will be released from Quarantine -as Infection Risk to others will be minimal.

The new group that is implementing it is-"First Class" .

So please stay Tuned. But in the meantime--CALL YOUR DOCTOR but DO NOT GO to their OFFICE-as they are not equipped to handle this DANGEROUS VIRUS which is very Contagious. Has no treatment Yet. "Isolation is the Only Treatment".

People with Heart disease,Lungs problem and Diabeties over the age of 65 are at Big Risk.

SO OUR SUGGESTION to Elderly --stay in your home and try Tele Medicine with Your doctor or Illinois Health Department. Do Not walk In --as You could be infecting Yourself Or Infecting others. Make sure -"Walk-In "are equipped for seeing COVID 19 infected persons. CALL AHEAD .

Dr.Fauci believes strongly--that this is the only way--To reduce the Speed of Infection.

Your Help -Isolate and Mitigate is Essential. Please Listen to Briefing by President's Task Force daily by Vice President Mike Pence on Availability of Website.

But if You are having Symptoms Now, Call Your doctor or Health Department or ER.

FYI -- Governor CUOMO of NY State has ordered LOCKDOWN of New Rochelle ,NY-part of Westchester County-- National Guards and Health Workers are helping Residents with Food,Supplies etc. The people can NOT GO OUT OF THEIR HOUSES. Roughly one mile area around a house of a lawyer who got infected over 3 weeks ago and infected his family and an office mate in NY City. THIS IS CLOSE TO LOCKDOWN OF CHINA but limited to only one City So far in America.

SELF ISOLATION is FAR BETTER.
