The harsh fact...

 My Facebook post from 14 weeks ago... It has been a very interesting day or 2 going over old posts and seeing comments and opinions. And here we are, no better off than we were on March 25th. Enjoy :)

Here's the question to answer:


When will it be safe to end the lockdown, to reemerge?

May 11th? May 25th?June? July? August?

Here's the real answer:

Never.

It will never be "safe".

Social distancing, staying at home, all of these measures were not to "cure" Covid 19. These were measures to slow it down, so as to not overwhelm our healthcare system.

For the most part, we've done that.

It does not change the virality of Covid, how it spreads from one person to another.

It has no effect on the mortality rate.

It was intended to delay it.

But as soon as we emerge, the virus will spread again and the people with weakened immune systems will still succumb to it.

This is a harsh fact.

The people who missed it this time, will eventually get it-regardless of if we emerge on May 11th or September 30th.

We need to protect our healthcare system to handle the load, but we don't need to mislead ourselves over the outcome of this quarantine.

It is slowing it down, but not curing it.

If you're driving to Auckland from Hamilton at 50 kms an hour or 100 kms an hour, the distance doesn't change.

If your lifestyle is causing you to have a weakened immune system, use this time to correct that.

Otherwise, you've placed a target on your own back.

Now is not the time for indulging in comfort food, it's a time to give ourselves the healthiest, most robust immune system our body is capable of.

I trust my immune system 100%. Do you?

The Power of Chiropractic

Image
Chiropractic is far more than just "clicking bones" and "aligning the spine." Chiropractic is about achieving the optimal potential of the body,and ensuring that there is no nerve interference. When the body can work as it is designed to,then many 'symptoms' take care of themselves. This is why I refer to my favourite phrase of "finding the cause rather than treat a symptom." Bed wetting is a great example of that. I have had many young children over the years who have been brought in to me to 'treat' bed wetting. I don't claim to heal patients of any condition,including bed wetting. But what I do claim is this. I'll 'adjust' the spine and relieve the spine of any mechanical dysfunction and any spastic musculature,that could possibly be impinging on the nervous system. I'll deliver specific adjustments to a specific bone and move it in a specific direction. Once the nervous system dysfunction has been addressed

Create the fear then retract it

“Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, the World Health Organization said.”  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html?fbclid=IwAR2r5WPKxZUVIyVWb1Pqt2Z8pkI3w7iEL05baC_mJ51UhyD4eYQjJbRh_4Q "From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It' s very rare." Very convenient to create the fear then try and retract it now.
