* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.
* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.
* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT . continued ......

- Dr. Corwin's comments about how the covid viral infection can be distinguished from other similar viral afflictions below .
It is not difficult to identify if a patient or myself has an upper-respiratory cold whether it be bacteria or virus. The covid virus being an aggressive RNA virus is much different than the an upper respiratory virus which does not initially trigger the adaptive (B & T Cell antibody) immune system.
What doers trigger the adaptive (B & T Cell antibody) immune system would be herpes simplex and chronic fatigue viruses. Allergies also trigger another aspect of the adaptive immune system as well as obvious chronic auto immune issues. If one has any of those conditions, those are the individuals that are predisposed to the complications of the covid virus. If these individuals were to become infected with the covid virus, their ability to fight off the virus would be compromised in its initial defense as well as over reaction (referred to as cytokine storm). The adaptive immune system when healthy easily self regulates and prevents over reaction by the T Reg cells. Only rare occasions such as full body poison ivy/oak, snake poisons, tetanus reaction and the like require immune suppressants (medications) to turn down the adaptive immune response.
The challenge for me is just to differentiate between covid virus infection and herpes simplex and chronic fatigue viral load which are obvious from a past history. Unfortunately any one with those conditions condition can trigger a false positive on the PCR antibody lab test. Because the population numbers of people that have herpes simplex I or II and other low grade viral infections, it maybe these individuals, that are being confusingly labeled as asymptomatic when their lab tests come back positive. Additionally it is not uncommon to have morning sinus /throat congestion and or minor allergy symptoms that offer the appearance of pre-symptomatic covid upper respiratory symptoms.
Because of the above factors, the vulnerability of so many that have compromised health situations, the potency of the covid virus to overwhelm immune compromised people that there is such a high number of fatalities warranting a reactive public health response.
Many people cannot afford to take off work for any reason and confuse allergies and minor URI with true covid virus symptoms. The public health response must therefore be overly cautious. Wearing a mask in crowded public places where the potential for the public to not recognize the difference between allergies, common colds, and actually having a case of covid virus (mild) in the healthy individual is therefore, a higher potential higher risk factor. Wearing a mask can offer protection in these situations. Wearing a mask around known healthy individuals, in one’s car, and outdoors where no one is nearby is unnecessary.
