My country In Europe of 5 million people have to today 179 confirmed cases.

And already we can see lots of the problems we have:
* Lack of empathy with all those that have a high risk to get infected,even from journalists, political persons and the man in the street. They it is not dangrous ,it is only those already old and sick that will die so this not something to worry about
* Maybe low IQ or lack of trust in science leads many to just disregard covid-19 as a problem and they think, and say this is just a flu.
* the covid-19 spread from hospital workers (even doctors)
* some persons that are told to stay at home and not have any contact with others for 14 days ,they IGNORE and go to the gym even to large public events. This weekend one person went to a large event ,needed medical care and did not tell all the seven persons that helped him that he could carry covid-19 and was told to self isolate. The result is that all those health workers must now stay at home for 14 days….
* when airplane arrived this weekend from Italy nothing was done to test all persons by those in charge because “nobody looked ill “.
* some youths use Facebook and protest against the advice given by health athories about not meeting in large groups . The write “They can’t stop us….”. In interview they say they are young and healthy and have nothing to fear ! Do they lack knowledge about how this spreads or do they simply not care ?
* A danish professor tells us that the reason why so many act like jerks is because hour leaders do not tell the truth about the corona virus, covid-19 and then many people do not take it seriously because they lack knowledge. The leaders suger coat the message instead of telling the truth .
* I hear people on the bus and train talk and say things like ” I am not afraid and don’t bother to take care…”
* Even our prime minister says ” you should all go on and live your normal life “.
When 30% of our population is in high risk for getting infected , because of age or health problems , Ithen I think it is a terrible advice !

Totally agree with your wish that Sifu was part of Pres. Trump’s health team!

Right now in Japan, not only do we have the Coronavirus to be careful of, but it is a seasonal transition time with a lot of extreme weather changes: warm during the day, darn cold at night and in the early morning, with scattered rains to occasionally add a deep chill. As well, it is the height of Cedar allergy season, which I developed a strong susceptibility to about 5 years ago. However, using simple Qi Gong practices I have learned from you – I tend to lean towards those that I have experienced best support the lungs and kidneys – along with acupressure I have learned from Cindy Black, I am keeping well ahead of anything taking root in my body. When I feel a particular symptom, I use a series of practices and those symptoms lessen in a day and often disappear by day two.

You asked for anything to add to your very comprehensive list. The one other daily practice I have that I feel is excellent for helping with immunological concerns is my sitting meditation practice, learned from Paul Muller-Ortega. The path of meditation I practice allows awareness to settle into the very deepest depths of consciousness in a spontaneous and effortless way. This allows the body, mind and emotions to experience deep rest – which you yourself also point to as necessary. This sets in motion an upsurge of healing capacity in the entire body-mind consciousness, which allows for deep physiological nurturing to take place. That nurturing – in my own experience – supports healing in a very profound way, from inside, out. As you note in your post, deep rest allows the immune system to maximize its capabilities. Thus, an immune system that is healthy and prepared is present.

Again, Thank You so much for all you do.

Live Long and Healthy!
