I think this society is becoming increasingly obsessive-compulsive as evidenced by the medias paranoid emphasis on germs. Our bodies evolved to work WITH germs and bacteria as well as around them. We are breeding a sicker, less protected nation by not exposing ourselves to the small colonies of invaders that serve to enable and enhance our immune systems. Some of us ate dirt as kids and we ...

I am not worried about either I am going to just take my normal antivirals I grow in the garden. Greek oregano, rosemary, thyme, fresh garlic, echinacea and golden seal, etc Also try to keep your body at a neutral PH with Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and other foods. It's been working for years.
