From anything, except maybe the military versions of vaccines in the US which some say are less harmful, and therefore wouldn't weaken soldiers' protection from other viruses such as coronavirus so much.

About half of Americans get the flu shot every year. That's far from people who get COVID-19 not having any previous vaccines.

I don't know about America, but in other countries those yearly flu shots are only recommended to risk groups such as the elderly or health workers to avoid exposing their patients.

There is mandated vaccination for a group of diseases (pentavalent?) applied mostly to infants. Adults here rarely get any vaccine at all.

Until the mid 70ies people had mandated smallpox vaccine, you can recognize them, by the scar it leaves in the upper arm near the elbow where it was usually applied. By the time i was born, the practice stopped (WHO? declared the virus extinct). Should a "mad scientist" somehow kept a living sample somewhere, it could release it and have a lot of people killed. In theory everyone destroyed living samples and only frozen vaccine remains...

This thread should is a nice one. People keep forgetting and the good thing is that there are people who aren't forgetting to remind us. People should wash their hands too after going out to buy some necessities. I hope more kinds of threads in the future to remind us.

My first post after 2 months of inactivity. I've self-quarantined since two weeks ago because of my mom's exposure to our neighbor who is considered as Patient Under Monitoring. I'm just glad that the entire family had no symptoms such fever, frequent cough, body weakness, difficulty of breathing, etc. Currently, this is now my final day of self-quarantine and I have no problem staying home without getting out, thanks to the internet and TikTok.

Before this pandemic happened, I always go out during late afternoon to balance both work and life. With my 2 weeks of self-quarantine, it feels strange of not going out for several days. But I'm fine with that, I always find ways not to be bored and be productive while staying home.

We are also under enhanced community quarantine, in which only those with quarantine pass can go out to buy essential goods, medicines, etc.

However, staying home is not the only way for us to save lives. You need to have a strong immune system to fight off the virus.

How to ensure that you're having a strong immune system?

- Eat healthy foods and drinks
- Regular exercise at home
- Avoid stress
- Take high quality nutritional supplements (with 96.3% body absorption rate, natural ingredients without chemicals, removing free radicals from your healthy cells, prescribed by doctors, etc.). DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

Aside from strengthening your immune system:

- Proper hygiene is a must (experts say hand washing with soap and running water is much more effective than alcohol or sanitizer). Do not touch your face, nose and mouth. Use a tissue instead if you need to wipe something from your face.
- Social distancing (no hugs, kisses or shaking hands for now). Maintain your distance from others.
- No mass gatherings of any kind even if you are just a few.
- Although health experts say that face masks are only needed by the frontliners, it's still essential in case someone accidentally coughs or sneezes.
- Always bring alcohol with a spray function and tissue paper. In case they cough or sneezed in your face close your eyes and sprinkle yourself with alcohol. Wipe your face with a tissue paper and dispose it.
- Stay home. If you think that staying home tells you that you're not doing anything, actually you're doing something . You are doing something to prevent the virus from spreading.

There are still some stubborn people roaming around thinking that the virus is a joke, and defying quarantine, curfew or lockdown.

Look everyone! If we want our lives back to normal, we have to sacrifice just for a little while. United Kingdom government even considered to extend the lockdown to 6 months to prevent the second or consecutive waves of the coronavirus.
 
I don't mind about the extension of lockdown just in case it worsens like the current situation of the US, Italy, Spain and other countries (Hubei province is slowly returning to normal). It only teaches us all how to be cooperative and unite with the government's efforts to stop this pandemic once and for all. It's just sad that others are having lack of discipline and ignored their government's warnings.

The government has done their part, but have we done our part too?

Sad to say that not all aren't doing their part, because they're still going out like it's normal. Like they cannot live a single day without getting out of their houses and roaming around or partying with friends. We, the community, are the final pieces of the puzzle to eliminate this deadly virus. Please stay home.

God bless everyone! We can survive this!
