1/ Hey #NutritionTwitter -- Help become a resource on #coronavirus/#covid19 and provide good advice and information right now to your followers as this timing is very meaningful.
Whatever partisan battles you've been fighting, I'm sure you originally got in this to help people.

2/ Viruses can survive outside the body for a while, but under most conditions it will die in time from exposure to things such as ultraviolet light or heat. This is why quarantining yourself for a couple weeks is so powerful.
You want to isolate it from new hosts (other people)

3/ If you have a healthy immune system that is becoming increasingly deadly to the virus inside your body while forcing its remains outside your body (in your living space) to endure exposure before coming into contact with any new hosts, you've massively reduced the risk.
4/ All viruses are playing a game of numbers between the most likely of us to get into contact with others.
This "Viral shedding" from an infected host is one common way it manages to get onto surfaces and others that person has come into contact with, particularly via hands.

5/ Thus-
-> Wash your hands with soap thoroughly. I know it's lame to keep repeating, but this is arguably one of the most powerful weapons against the spread of this virus
-> Maintain social distancing as much as possible
-> Clean and disinfect common surfaces of contact

6/ Many point out the mortality rate is low or likely doesn't apply to them if they aren't elderly or compromised.
Please recognize (1) that's a probability, not a certainty -- many younger folks (including drs) have died, and (2) again, this is a numbers game...

7/ The extraordinary degree of contagiousness for this virus is not in question and each new case brings a chance of hospital care, which in turn takes up bandwidth for medical professionals and scarce resources.
See the problem?

9/ In short -- government officials and medical professionals won't pull this off on their own. WE need to make these changes to help them succeed.
And yes -- I want every influencer of #keto, #vegan, #mediterranean , #carnivore, #CICO, etc. to help spread the word.
