[Premium-Rx] Coronavirus - How to protect yourself

[Nicola Gandini]

Dear Fellow OM,
I Leave in Italy, country that have been probably the first being
contaminated after China. I would like to aware you on the CORONAVIRUS
hoping that you can protect yourself and your families against this nasty
virus.
I know that this list is intender for PREMIUM RADIO, but I think this
question is more important than any other hobby related issue so I hope the
administrators will not ban this message.

In Italy, even if fast, we have not been fast enough with the virus and
this have given it the possibility to spread around more that it should.
Today, after almost three weeks, more than 1.000 persons are died from it
and we have more than 12.000 contaminated persons till today over a
population of 60 millions.
I was hoping that other countries could learn from our experience but it
seem that only few Northern European Countries are looking at our
experience!
I suspect that in many other countries the governments are under-evaluating
the problem.

Please read this message with grains of salt. I’m not a doctor nor a
specialist, I’m just an OM. What I write comes from the the experience here
in Italy and from what experts tell us:

*FIRST:* if you can, AVOID places where many people stays. Don’t go to
METRO, don’t go to CINEMA nor TRAIN STATIONS or AIRPORTS. If you can, stay
at home.

*SECOND:* if you need to go out, even if people around you may laugh at
you, use mask, use gloves, protect your eyes and stay away (1 meter is
good, 2 is even better) from other persons.

*THIRD:* wash-wash-wash your hands carefully and properly

*FOURTH:* stay in health… (from other diseases). While you want to avoid
being contaminated by coronavirus, you MUST avoid being sick from any other
disease that force you to go to the Hospital.

*FIFTH:* be careful, even if TV and MEDIA do not say anything. It is very
possible that CORONA is already there, at the PUB near your home.
If you stay away you’ll not get contaminated.

*SIXTH:* you’ll not be without food. Good will circulate so don’t go to buy
food when other people are all in the market! Wait and go when nobody (or
few persons) are in the market.

WHERE I LEAVE, IS OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL RED ZONES!
In my little town we have not had any person contaminated, nor in the towns
around us.
My parents are 83 and 86 years old and I’ve kept them at home since the
last 15 days. I really avoid contacts with them, and when I stay with them
I stay at least 1 mt. away.

CORONAVIRUS is really a NASTY DISEASE and the only way to win is to stay
away from it.

Sorry if this may sound dramatic, but it’s the truth. And I really want
that all my friends does not get in trouble, while it’s so easy to stay
healthy: *JUST STAY AT HOME.*
*In this we are lucky: we have our shack!*

Please spread this mail to your friends and relatives. It can make the
difference.


Take care
