Does anyone know if this virus is a threat to regular people? Or just the elderly and those with weak immune systems?
The risk of death is not zero for any demographic.

No one has immunity because it is s new virus.

We receive antibodies from our mothers or we develop them as we have encountered various viruses.

It is my understanding it drops the Vitamin C level very low to where the body cannot resist infection, much like the common cold.

Vitamin C cannot be stored in the body so not sure how this can happen?

the common cold is like that as well, the cold, a virus, cannot be treated, when it turns in pneumonia, an infection, it can be treated with antibiotics

So I will die if I get it.... Nice

Just gotta pray and hope for the best. From what im reading the symptoms seem just like a regular flu minus the runny nose and difficulty breathing instead. So where is the risk of death? People die of regular flu all the time too

We will never die as we are in Christ, and He offers us a way to live in a way that the evil ones sickness cannot touch us. I have had very good success for about 10 years now with oil of Oregano, it has thwarted every attempt by ther enemy to make me sick, thank you Jesus.

Flu viruses are typically seasonal... cases diminish in the Spring...so we will see how this plays out.

NBS nightly news and PBS I watch the nightly at 6:30pm and the PBS at 7:00pm.

from what I’ve heard vaccines won’t be available for another year or two, and they have been saying the virus will still be around. no one is getting any vaccines some say they have made one but it’s got to go through testing before it’s available if it does get really bad I’m sure testing that will go out the window or maybe not is it man made to trim the pop who knows.

IN PART:

A clinical trial has begun in Nebraska to test whether an experimental drug can treat the new coronavirus, starting with an American who was quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan, the National Institutes of Health said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration said it was closely watching the supplies of 20 unrelated drugs that are either made in China, where the epidemic has drastically reduced manufacturing, or contain ingredients from China. The agency did not say which drugs, but the world relies heavily on China for supplies of many essential medications, like aspirin and penicillin.

Jesus told us we can live in a place where the evil one can touch us not, keep praying in the Spirit, without ceasing, and with our mind stayed on Him.
I like to keep a picture of Jesus in my mind, all the time.

Hard to know how this will play out... except one thing for sure money will be made by a vaccine and people will be lined up down the block to get it...saw this with H1N1

When foretelling Jerusalem’s destruction and “the conclusion of the system of things,” Jesus showed that pestilence would be a notable feature of the time period preceding the “great tribulation" (Luke 21:10, 11); we will see how this all plays out and hopefully, the warmer weather will deleteriously affect the virus, but if not, then perhaps Christians ought to pay more attention to this virus and maybe, just maybe, we are seeing clues about the coming End Times.

for the last 20+ years it has seemed the news was closely following the Bible events foretold.

Vitamin C cannot be stored in the body so not sure how this can happen?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EleventhHour, we agree with your info about vit. C, - the B's are exactly like that, (the body expels what it cannot use) -
'our' solution to these kind of problems which we have been taught/learned over the years by trial and error is this;
we both constantly replenish our bodies throughout the day with various foods 'rich' in ALL of the necessary vits -
we haven't been sick in years!!!!!!!!! - and, we DON'T do (SHOTS), we are in our '70's'. -
I will say this also, we do sometimes 'feel' (BUGS) trying to GET US, but they have so far been the losers -
also, we 'LAUGH a LOT', which is such a very good 'medicine' for ALL parts of our temples...

one more thing: we seldom go out into Babylon, but when we have to, we are very prepared and lately, The Lord has
been enlightening us to the fact that we may well have to wear masks when we go shopping for supplies... -
the poisons/chems that the establishments that we have to go to in order to procure our supplies are ever increasing their
chemical preventatives for insects, bacteria, vermin, etc., and so, we ARE PREPARED, but ONLY by the Grace of God,
and this comes by our 'hearing and doing' His Will...
