Yavapai County Arizona
Sedona AZ – It’s time to be vigilant, take precautions, and prepare.
Yavapai County Community Health Services Director Leslie Horton said, “Yavapai County has a history of collaborating with the local partner agencies, including all cities and towns, to protect the residents that call Yavapai County home. We are working together and reviewing plans and practiced responses that have been in place for years to make sure everyone is prepared for situations like the one we find ourselves in now with the worldwide spread of Coronavirus (Covid19).”
With the recent case of COVID-19 in California with no contact with anyone from Wuhan China, the CDC has warned the public to be vigilant in healthy precautions and to prepare for potential cases: Visit this link for an easy to follow checklist and share it with others.
The one Arizona patient is now out of isolation and is no longer infected by the virus. People who have come in close contact with the man haven’t shown any signs of the illness known as COVID-19, Maricopa County Public Health reported. Most of them have passed the 14-day monitoring period without displaying any symptoms. Six of the 15 confirmed cases in the U.S. have recovered.
What is the virus and how is it different from the flu?
The only thing it has in common with the flu is that they are both respiratory viruses. COVID-19 has more in common with the common cold. While we mostly hear about rhinoviruses, there are several strains of coronavirus common in the U.S. that cause nothing worse than a cold.
Older adults usually develop worse symptoms than younger and are more likely to develop complications. Like flu, it generally hits hardest among seniors, people with chronic diseases like heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes, and those with weakened immune systems like people undergoing cancer treatment.
There’s no vaccine for coronavirus, but seniors should get vaccinated for diseases like pneumococcus and Hib. Getting those two vaccinations will help in limiting complications. Talk to your health provider if those vaccines are right for you.
Men are more likely to be hit harder with COVID than women. This is partly because women have a better immune system, but also because men often delay medical care until symptoms are severe. Coronavirus or not, if you have a fever above 100, a cough, and/or sore throat, see your doctor.

The best you can do to keep yourself from being infected? It happens to be the same steps you take to keep yourself from getting colds and flu:
*Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
*Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
*Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
*Stay home when you are sick.
*Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
*Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Here are some preparation tips from Ready.gov:
*Store a two-week supply of water and food.
*Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.
*Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.
*Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records.
*Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.
Health officials emphasize that those who haven’t gotten the vaccine yet should do so, even though we’ve likely reached the midpoint of flu season. The vaccine takes two weeks to provide full protection, but cannot only ward off the illness, it can reduce how bad your flu is if you catch it and reduce the chance you’ll be hospitalized.
Yavapai County Community Health Services is in continuous communications with Arizona Department of Health Services on the COVID-19 monitoring and situation and will keep the public

Hello, Are you ready to kiss your Social Security goodbye? Democrats just proposed a radical plan to give our Social Security benefits to ILLEGALS and that must be unacceptable while Biden says it’s inevitable? Social Security must be protected for legal residents only and kept from government “handlers” wanting it for their pet handout projects.
Government ordered to post ivermectin info and doesn’t like it.
The USA has the world’s largest TikTok audience – 150 million users – and it’s one of the top online platforms for teens aged between 13 and 17. States have a right to protect users’ data from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) especially if Congress won’t force TikTok to divest from its parent company, the Chinese Communist Party owned “ByteDance.” Wake up, America TikTok audience, because the world’s largest audience is getting shafted.

Headline EXCLUSIVE: CDC Found Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Caused Deaths
Google it. Aren’t you tired of being told that you’re not worthy of knowing facts?
TU @Kayla for keeping light on CDC
Ditto Kayla
Sciatica developed after my booster and never ever ever ever had any issues until those vaccines and I’m angry about it because my gut told me dont get the vaccine but my social anxiety for older relatives living nearest me had me get it.
I’m deep down angry that we got Covid with the vaccine shot, and lost our taste and smell for a few days before it slowly returned. Fatigue like we’ve never experienced in our nicely active and busy lives, and because we were lied to by government officials. Dr. Fauci and his comrades should spend time in prison for funding and encouraging this research. CDC is never to be trusted again and no research should ever be conducted again using people as guinea pigs. Thousands no millions died for no reason! Nothing President Trump could have done except what he did, keep us from panicking and let us be home with family and friends while vaccines could be developed to help our loved ones live. He was right all along while that sleezey liar Fauci played God with his minions. Thank you Judicial Watch and other legal scholars for finding the truth and keep it up because this administration is full of liars and criminals.
Sitting down and getting up is a big deal definitely wasn’t before Covid booster.
Were Lives Saved by COVID-19 Vaccines?
The pattern of excess deaths recorded in the South-East Asian country of Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic shocked a Canadian research team when they studied the overall death rates there. Their findings indicate WHO mandated vaccines caused . .
Sedona thinks after all.

Newly released government documents prove Dr. Fauci, NIH, North Carolina labs were involved with gain of function research. We were lied to by government and millions died unnecessarily. We cannot fear knowing how our government was used by the Biden Administration to manipulate us, we must know how and why to keep the next “pandemic” from destroying the planet. That’s more important than climate change in US because no matter what we do in America, every three days lung polluting Chinese air passes over our country, hurting our people, and that’s not going to change for hundreds of years because the Rulers hate you and their own, you are “garbage” for questioning the government your taxes enable to exist.
Students and teachers, educate yourselves because the government will not, the government will propagandize climate change knowing its not American fossil fuels because our gas powered economy is among the cleanest air on earth. Go with Greta to do sit downs on Chinese and Venezuelan roadways and power plants to get it right instead of looking foolishly uneducated.
