With the virus outbreak, there are a lot of myths floating in the air, some of these are –
– Blow hot air into the nasal passage by hair dryer
– Drink lemon honey in the warm water
– Gargle with hot water to kill it when it is in the throat before reaching to the lung
– Eat ginger, garlic
– Take vitamin C
– Drink cow urine
– Drink water every 15 minutes
And so on
While a few of the above may soothe the symptoms temporarily, there is no evidence that they can cure. This misleading information could make things worse than better by creating a false sense of hope.
The world has not found a cure yet.
The latest finding:
Several specialists (in respiratory deceases) in the USA, China and elsewhere who were on duty in the ICU have reported that the virus creates clots in the blood that blocks lung’s ability to pass oxygen. Consequence is organs failure due to lack of oxygen. Glorify to Allah who has created human body with perfection!
Dr. Hooman Poor in a New York hospital tried with clot bluster and blood thinner on a dying patient. He observed improvement for a day – then the patient died because of organs failure. He is now trying this on 4 dying patients with this unlicensed method and it seems working – 3 of them are surviving.

May Allah forgive us and rescue us from the sinking boat with His unlimited mercy.
We should be mindful about sharing anything in a public forum that is purely based on personal experiences. Social media is already flooded with them which do not have any medical justification/back up or scientific explanation. In these uncertain times, it would be prudent not to confuse people even more.

Subject: [perthbashi] Live update on COVID-19
To Whom It May Concern
====================
This is a daily update from one of my fellow Buetian friend (living in USA) about his wife and himself.. I'm sharing this because there are very important information to fight with this virus.
Update on 14/04:Updates on Sarah Noorjahan (written by my friend Ashraful Hannan Porag)
——————————————The way she used to argue with me, looks like with the same rigor she is fighting against the virus!
Her fever got reduced. She had abdominal pain( which was Infact a lungs inflammation due to infection) which got reduced significantly. The antibiotics – azithromycin is WORKING!
Please do the following things if you are COVID-19 patient:
1) Hot water and tea : She is drinking almost boiling water with different kinds of teas. This is helping. Also 5-8 sources from NewYork, some of whom recovered from COVID-19( and one senior brother from BUET) advised us to try this same procedure. Hot water with zinger and lemons.
2) Hot showers
3) I had the headaches and some symptoms. I slept on my front ( upside down, keeping belly down) and strongly inhaled and inflated my lungs based on a internet advise from pulmonologist. Also remember, bigger portion of your lungs are at your back side, not front. You need to inflate that side of your lungs.
This was difficult in the beginning , but later I started feeling much better. I have a slight tingling sensation at my back ( again from lungs, most likely), feeling lot stronger than yesterday
4) You just can not lie down to your bed! You have to fight. And part of this is to exercise, stretch out and doing these lungs exercise.
5) Any pain in your stomach, back, lower back – be very suspicious. These are all symptoms of lungs infections.
6) This Virus is very active and very hardworking to destroy your lungs. To catch up – you need to be twice hardworking than him!
7) just because you are feeling better in Monday’s does not necessarily means you will continue to be better for the rest of the week.
The algorithm for you to survive is this: this virus has approximately 3 weeks of time to cause damages to you . In these 3 weeks, you need to fight with it . If you can sustain, it will die out after three weeks.
8) The advise of earlier antibiotic meds is the best one. It will start fixing some of the damages that virus had been doing from earlier. So my advice : if you suspect covid-19, start medication earlier.
