Re: Wuhan virus
Clark conure , I posted much info on this earlier in the thread. Short answer is yes, birds are susceptibility to all influenza's A viruses.
Also I would suggest all people in areas of active infections of new coronavirus, get a humidifier. A humidifier helps with breathing, and there are some over the counter decongestants. Also read up on coupage, I only seem to find info on coupage for dogs, my understanding ( I am not a doctor!) Is that it can be done on people to. When I had pneumoia as a child my mom did coupage on me. " Nebulization and coupage are used in patients with a variety of lung conditions. ... Coupage is often recommended for patients with pneumonia or bronchitis. Secretions produced as a result of these conditions can interfere with the ability of oxygen to reach the lower airway and enter the bloodstream."
Also people with lung issues should be proped up to make breathing easier, and turned slightly to the left, then right, then back, every half hour or so if not able to turn themselves. When I have breathing problems from MG I like a fan blowing lightly at my face, makes me feel I can breath easier. I also find I can breath easier if the temp is a little cooler, tho you don't want to chill someone's with a fever.
Bone broth and chicken soups are good. Eat foods high in vitamin A and Vitamin C, consider adding a vitamin D supplement as directed on the vitamin bottle. Apple juice is even better than gateraid for electrolytes. Straight water can be harder to drink when you are coughing. Sugar and honey help with coughing.
Consider having chamomile tea, and other teas on hand. Garlic is thought to be an immune booster.
A light message can go boost circulation, and help improve oxygenation of tissues.
My mom used to serve instance jello hot as a tea, so good, so comforting!
Don't forget the power of the mind. If you do get sick, believe and visualize yourself getting better, and surviving.
