Ok, This virus is making the rounds, so what can we do to protect ourselves? I have read that if your selenium levels are low, your immunity is compromised and you are susceptible to viral infections. But I can't fine that magic number where you have enough or too much. So why put out teaser articles with no safe numbers on how much is too much? Also you need lots of D3 to keep your immune system working.

We take our multivitamins, eat as healthy as possible and gets lots of exercise. I'm pretty sure we get enough D3 from being outside so much.
Anybody with other ideas for a good immunity?

Don't eat bat soup and drink a naturally carbonated beer every now and then. Ginger beer is good, if you don't like beer beer.

We sure don't want to go back to those days...… My mother had polio before I was born. My sister remembers Daddy taking her and our brother to see Mom in a ward. Mom was left with a tremble in her right arm/hand, but otherwise, she recovered.

When in HS, I volunteered at a residence for severely handicapped children. Quite a few of them were there b/c their mothers had measles while pregnant. Went to school with a gal (post polio) who was in long leg braces and needed crutches to get around. Also worked with a young man from the same era who was similarly affected.
