It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related SARS-CoV-like coronavirus.the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 is optimized for binding to human ACE2 with an efficient solution different from those previously Furthermore, if genetic manipulation had been performed, one of the several reverse-genetic systems available for betacoronaviruses would probably have been used19. However, the genetic data irrefutably show that SARS-CoV-2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone20

Everyone is panicking, and I get it. But is this not also an opportunity for people to eat together as a family again?

To prevent an,over reaction of the Immune System Adaptogens might be
Very helpful

One of the definitions of Adaptogen is :
„if the immune system is depressed, adaptogens enhance the immune response. If the immune system is overactive—for instance with allergies—adaptogens help re-regulate the immune response, decreasing overactivity.“

Black tea polyphenols
reported to possess antiviral activity


Theaflavins were found to block the formation of this six-helix bundle required for entry of the virus into the host.Theaflavin 3 3 digallate, and theaflavin 3′ gallate were found to inhibit Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) corona virus. This antiviral activity was due to inhibition of the chymotrypsin like protease (3CL Pro) which is involved in the proteolytic processing during viral multiplication.58

Antiviral Activity of Resveratrol against Human and Animal Viruses

Resveratrol has shown a high antiviral potential that can be explored in both human and animal viral infections. Its main antiviral mechanisms were seen to be elicited through inhibition of viral protein synthesis, inhibition of various trannoscription and signaling pathways, and inhibition of viral related gene expressions.
