Only 20 minutes until virus invasion inside the body — what is the “immediately doable prevention recommended by medical doctors”?
Hello, this is Sheriyama.
The fury of the “coronavirus”shows no signs of subsiding,
and the prospects of an end arestill unseen,
Recently, articles about maskshave been frequently seen.
“Masks do not prevent infection”
is somethingthat is often said.
In this newsletter as well,we introduced articles like the following.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Dr. David Carington of University College London said in an interview with BBC News that
“Ordinary masks are not effective at preventing viruses or bacteria carried through the air for the general public.”
He pointed out that
ordinary masks have too many gaps,
no air filters, and do not shield the eyes.

Also,the World Health Organization (WHO) has
stated that
“not wearing a mask does not necessarily increase the risk of infection.”
Their remarks.

(Quoted from Nikkei, 2020/3/1)
Even so,many people may feel uneasy without a mask, butfor small viruses,
masks are full of gaps,and allow easy passage.
To put it in concrete numbers,
the gaps in a typical mask are5–10 micrometers.
In contrast,the coronavirus is0.1 micrometers.
In other words, the gaps in a mask are50–100 times larger
Because you cannot see it,it is hard to imagine, but
unfortunatelyeven with an ordinary mask,it seems difficult to prevent
the entry of the coronavirus into the body.
(By the way, the size of cedar pollen is about30 micrometers.
Mask gaps are5–10 micrometers, so
for cedar pollen,masks are considered effective.)
Also,when wearing a mask,the fabric may rub against the face,
causing itchiness,
and at that moment you might touch the mask with your hands,
and the viruses attached at that time
could pass through the mask and cause infection.
Therefore,in some caseswearing a mask may actually
increase the likelihood of infection.
However,
from the perspective of preventing the spread of droplets
caused by coughing or sneezing,
wearing a mask can have a certain effect, so
it is important to wear a mask more for the sake of others than for oneself.

Blocking the virus before it enters cells.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
If masks cannot fully prevent it,
in ordinary life
shielding the virus is impossible unless you are in isolation,
that is the conclusion.
Ultimately,increase immunity,
and even if viruses invade,
build a body that can withstand them
is still the most important thing,
However,as we age,
our resistance inevitably weakens.
We cannot overcome age.
Therefore,especially for the elderly
whether the virus can be stopped before entering the body's cells
is the key.
So, what is the method?
How long does it take for the virus to attach to the throat’s mucous membranes and enter the body's cells?
Do you know?
It is said to be about 15–20 minutes.
Therefore,within roughly a 20-minute time limit to reach the cells,
it would be ideal to eradicate the virus.
How can we eradicate the virus?
One method is to rinse with water.
Viruses cannot survive in the stomach, so it is said to be fine to swallow them down to the stomach.
That said,you cannot knowwhen the virus attached to the throat or mucous membranes,
right?
Therefore, as a method to avoid infection,
consider “drinking water every 20 minutes.”
To prevent the virus from entering the body,
regular light hydration is advisable.
This relates to influenza as well,
and is introduced on the drugstore
portal site as well.

When the influenza virus reaches the infection site on the throat or nasal mucosa and then enters the cells, the fastest time is about 20 minutes.
Therefore, by hydrating every 20 minutes,
you can wash away the virus on the infection site.
Viruses disintegrate when they enter the digestive tract,
so infection and replication do not occur.

Also, on the Sunday Japon TV program,
Dr. Tetsuya Okunakaexplained the significance of rinsing the mouth while drinking.
However, on the other hand,
there are opinions that there is “no medical evidence,”
and about how effective it is against the coronavirus
cannot be said definitively, but
there are no side effects from regularly sipping water,and
perhaps it is worth trying.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Would you take one step forward?
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
As with this coronavirus matter,
recently, history has seen disasters almost every year.
And each time, fear is instilled in people, but…
Even if the threat of the coronavirus passes this year
from summer to autumn, just like last year
there is a very high possibility of typhoons and heavy rain causing damage.
And,in these times,
interest in investments also seems to be rising.
People who think, “I want to be able to earn through investment in case of emergencies,”
is increasing,
butthe number who actually start investing is only a small handful.
Many want to start investing, but
don’t know where to begin,
are busy with daily life, and
time just passes by…
that describes the vast majority.
Perhaps
you reading this newsletter now are one of them,
but if so, you should take one step forward.
Anyway, you should start with something small.
And if you are going to take a step,
the sooner, the better.
In a world where you never know what tomorrow holds,
you are required to endure whatever happens on your own.
With that said, thank you very much for reading until the end today.
