Reasons why we can hope in the face of COVID19
COVID19 maybe invisible but it is not totally unknown. We do not have to fear it. We just have to know as much about it as we can.
We know that it is a virus that mainly attacks our respiratory system. At the moment there is no effective vaccine or established cure against it. However, there are promising studies that suggests that certain drugs and substances can stop it from replicating in our body.
In case the virus gets a foothold in our body, it is our immune system that will have to deal with it. But we are not helpless. Fortunately, there are measures we can take to build up and strengthen our immune system. Taking vitamin C, D plus zinc supplements, getting adequate sleep and moderate sun are measures we can take. Other interventions are plasma infusion from recovered patients and with doctor's advise, even saline irrigation of nasal.
It has also been observed that other vaccines like that for tuberculosis can confer some kind of immunity or better resistance to this virus. The Philippines is one country where there was a wide campaign for anti tb vaccine and this may now work again in favor for many of us who received this vaccine.

Piyesta at peste sa panahon ng NCoV
 |
| Kuha sa kasagsagan ng piyesta ng Santa Martha, 9 Pebrero 2020 |
Kahit maraming takot sa NCoV, hindi nito napigil ang pagdiriwang ng piyesta sa aming lugar. Hindi yata nakuha ng mga taong nagdiriwang ang memo na umiwas sa mataong lugar upang hindi maabot ng sakit na ito.
Isang tao lang na may dala na ng virus na ito, kahit wala pang nakikitang sintomas ay maaaring maipasa agad ito sa daan, o libo pang nagsasaya rito.
Pero napakabago lang kasi ng sakit na dala ng NCoV na ito at kulang na kulang ang kaalaman ng mga tao dito kaya mas pinili nila ang ipagsa walang bahala ito kaysa mag-ingat.
Huwag naman sana maging mabagsik ang NCoV kung sakaling mangyari ito.

The Joy of plants
I am not really a plant expert or a seriously dedicated plant lover but maybe, I can pass off as an enthusiast. I find great joy in keeping plants and they do provide me with stress relief and give me something to fight off boredom and even depression.
One idea I am toying with at the moment is to start a Plant Sunday activity to invite and gather people with similar interest so we can talk about plants and swap seeds, seedlings and cuttings. For some, this might even become a livelihood as there is at the moment a noticeable public interest in indoor plants.
Just some possible activities during Plant Sunday
- learning about soil and its enhancement
- plant swap
- container making or even swap
- group project
- exhibit
- organized trips
The theme is always related to plants. But through this, we also engage with others and make our environment greener. In the process, we improve the quality of our life.
