What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 pandemic. Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources. The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April. Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.: 1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc. 2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove. 3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors. 4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts. 5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been. 6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands. 7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more! What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US: 1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas. Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth. 2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you - it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth - it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth. 3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective. 4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available. I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available. I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful during this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email. Good luck to all of us! James Robb, MD FCAP You might also enjoy...

Be Curativa is a specialised treatment range, available for clients who have scalp concerns including dandruff, oily scalp, hair loss, or sensitive scalps. It contains advanced Oxygenate technology to optimise scalp health. What are the benefits of Be Curativa Oxygenate technology? Be Curativa Oxygenate technology allows the hair follicles to “breathe”, thanks to its oxygenating action. Ozonized Olive oil and Essential Oils release oxygen onto the skin, stimulates microcirculation and deeply moisturise the scalp. There are three specific treatment ranges within Be Curativa, targeted to solve problems: Be Curative Oxygenative Technology Dandruff and Sebum Control This is the perfect treatment for dandruff and sebum control concerns. The excessive production of dandruff and sebum is often due to build-up of toxins. This also produces an imbalance of the function of sebum glands with a consequent accumulation of dandruff and sebum on the scalp. The range includes a Purifying Shampoo, Purifying Lotion and Deoxygenating Purifying Clay to detox and protect the skin. Regular use of Be Curative 3-step Dandruff and sebum control method, is able to effectively counter the intoxication process of the skin, penetrating into the scalp, loosening the bonds that hold toxins preventing their future aggregation. Be Curativa Oxygenative technology Hair loss Adjuvant Method Premature hair loss is caused by a build-up of toxins and hormones, which reduces the subcutaneous microcirculation and oxygenation of the tissue, resulting in less elastic skin and hair roots which are incapable of regenerating new hairs. The Be curative 3 step Hair loss Adjuvant Method consist of a Regenerating Shampoo, a Regenerating Lotion and a Detoxifying Regenerating Gel that helps improve hair thickness, eliminate harmful toxins, and improve lymphatic circulation resulting in stronger, healthier hair exploding with vitality! Be Curativa Calming Detoxifying Range The Calming Detoxifying Range is a 2 step health ritual that is especially designed to calm and soothe a sensitive scalp. The Soothing Shampoo oxygenates the scalp, reducing redness and itching, while the Soothing Lotion rebalances the epidermal capability of the scalp and gives it a pleasant feeling of freshness. Would you like to know more about this range, try a product, or chat to the distribution team? Give us a call or email and we will gladly assist.

My inspiration for this look came from pastel macarons and how they are layered so you can see the different colours and dimensions. I combined this with a Coachella vibe - think a combination of little Indian, bohemian and rock star - and paired this with inspiration from Palm Springs, and incorporating that into a shape that represents a palm tree, accentuating the model’s features and fun personality. Technique to create my shape Starting at the nape taking inch sections, I created a solid form all directed back. My fringe was created with a deep triangle section from the outside edge of the eyebrow to 2 inch depth down the middle of the part. I started shorter in the middle and added a curve towards the face to keep length around the temples. Styling: Step 1. Leaving the curtain fringe out and blowdrying with a round brush over directing back creating a soft wave, I pulled the remaining hair back into a 3 step ponytail using hat elastic, positioned on the top of the head. Step 2. I pulled out my first small section of hair and wrapped a long piece of hat elastic around it 3 times to create my first palm tree leaf, I then repeated this process until I reached the end of the ponytail and tied off. Step 3. To accentuate my shape, each piece of hair was then coloured with Wella Colour Touch Colour Create. Step 4. Once the colour was rinsed I styled the ponytail with an iron. Step 5. I brushed the ponytail out, twisting the hair forward to create a cascade of colour and shape.
