In USA we have been very fortunate. According to the CDC website, we have had 41 deaths as of this morning. 1,629 cases of the virus....this includes presumptive and confirmed. We have been extremely fortunate compared to other countries.

Prayers are being said daily.

Ginger tea (couple slices of fresh, in a cup of hot water with some honey) is warming and helps with the tummy upset that often comes with mucous draining.

Chicken broth with lots of fresh garlic and ginger in it. A snort of whiskey and go to bed.

Elderberry syrup!

Zinc helps shorten the length. Rest and plenty of fluids

My mom swore by vic's vapor rub. I get a cough or sneeze and she would insist on Vic's vapor rub. I had so much Vic's vapor rub as a kid I can still smell it even now. So I can't stand it now... but your right it's pretty good stuff along with a few shots of Kentucky rock gut wiskey and a good night's sleep helps a lot. Also if you have it there in Ireland fisherman's friend for a sore throat and cough is good. It's some wicked stuff though, expecially if you put one in each cheek (don't say I didn't warn you).

The alcohol probably kills the bugs that cause a sore throat too. What? Sure I'm sure! Sheesh!
