Some helpful hints about the Corona Virus.
This information comes from my insurance agency.
Doctors are reporting they now understand the behavior of the COVID 19 virus due to autopsies that they have carried out. This virus is characterized by obstructing respiratory pathways with thick mucus that solidifies and blocks the airways and lungs. So they have discovered that in order to apply a medicine you have to open and unblock these airways so that the treatment can be used to take effect however all of this takes a number of days. Their recommendations for what you can do to safeguard yourself are ...
- Drink lots of hot liquids - coffees, soups, teas, warm water. In addition take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes because this keeps your mouth moist and washes any of the virus that's entered your mouth into your stomach where your gastric juices will neutralize it before it can get to the lungs.
- Gargle with an antiseptic and warm water like vinegar or salt or lemon every day if possible.
- The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes. And detergent or soap kills it but you must take bath or shower when you get in from the street. Avoid sitting down in your home and go straight to the shower. If you cannot wash your clothes daily, hang them in sunlight which also helps to neutralize the virus.
- Wash metallic surfaces very carefully because the virus can stay viable on these for up to 9 days. Take note and be vigilant about touching hand rails, door knobs, etc. and keep these clean in home.
- Don't smoke.
- Wash your hands every 20 minutes with any soap that foams and do this for 20 seconds.
- Eat fruits and vegetables. Try to elevate your zinc levels.
- Animals do not spread the virus to people. Its a person to person transmission.
- Try to avoid getting the common flu as this already weakens your system and try to avoid eating and drinking any cold things.
- If you feel any discomfort in your throat or a sore throat coming on, attack it immediately using the above methods. The virus enters the system through the throat but will sit in the throat for 3-4 days before it passes into your lungs.

Weather permitting we will begin the demo process the week of January 28th.
Weather permitting we will begin the demo process the week of January 28th.
The two cinder block buildings, concrete pads underneath, the internal fencing,
light poles, and tennis courts will all be demolished and removed.
We are leaving the pavilion for now and will get power connected in the near future.
We also will be planting an orchard of Figs, Persimmons, Plums and
get our first round of berry bushes on the hill in early Feb.
Over the next few weeks you will see activity down on the farm as we clean up
all the brush and dead trees. Our next round of fundraising will be
dedicated to getting a Farm Manager on staff. In the mean time we will put in a
cover crop where the tennis courts are and the area where the pool used to be.
Once it warms up in March/April we will host a neighborhood event.
I know there is continued concern around traffic.
This will be a slow gradual process of building out the farm.
We fully intend to be vested into Windsor Park and be a good neighbor.
As things progress we will be very self aware of our impact and address concerns.
Communication will always be open and welcomed. Please do not hesitate to
call or email if you have questions or concerns. 704-264-6088, zack@carolinafarmtrust.org
Thank you,
