CoVID19 ABC's and 123's

The virus, is here and there.  It has reached almost everywhere.

Do not fear; get informed.

First of all; fear does nothing for you. All the agitation much like rocking in a chair will get you nowhere.

Find reputable sources for updates. Listen  to rumours only for banter and use sound judgement to discern between the two.

Pharmers is a pharmaceutical consulting business which offers a handful of services. Sound pharmaceutical advice and preventative care services are some examples. Do not hesitate to ask your questions or send comments to: info@pharmers.co.za 

Our CoVid19 statement to our valued members and to the public  is an ABC acronym for easy remembering. It stands for:

A LWAYS wash your hands with soap,
B EFORE touching your face or eating, &
C LEAN your commonly shared surroundings, and surfaces using disinfectants, often.

Simple and effective.



Also remember these 3 things:

1) boosting your immune system (whether using herbal  or chemical remedies) is not going to prevent you catching an infection, you will still carry the pathogen.  It will only help your immune fighters to better cope with the infection and possibly render you asymptomatic in the best case scenario (but still a carrier able to infect others).

2) the best way to prevent an infection is to reduce the probability of contracting it through  physical touch - hence the heightened personal hygiene recommendations and frequent surroundings disinfection as well as reduced contact with others/isolation.

3) be compassionate.  We are facing frustrating times. Buisness as usual has changed, schools are closed, functions and events are cancelled...  Be kind and understanding. Use this time to introspect, reconnect with your reality and realise how frail we all are in the face of microscopic agents; lets remain humble and grateful for what we still have.
