1. The # COVID19 pandemic is not over yet, and the number of people hospitalized in Europe is on the rise, including in Switzerland, Austria and Germany, they are recalling indoor use. During these years, peaks occur in Europe 3 to 4 weeks earlier than in the Americas.
2. Mexico’s # COVID19 vaccination rate is only 70%, due to delays in vaccinating children, there will be no vaccine for the variant and the health system is tired and exhausted. It is clear that we do not have a Danish health system.
3. Use of # COVID19 antiviral drugs, ‘available’ only through health authorities, as part of their irrational control in the face of the pandemic. Their use requires that they be used for the first five days, which is impossible with such bureaucracy.
4. We are entering winter, in the past two years the number of # cases of influenza and other respiratory viruses is much lower than in previous years. With a funnel, we not only protect ourselves from # COVID19 but also from other viruses.
5. Using the # mouthpiece is harmless, it is not synonymous with an epidemic, it not only protects you, but also protects your family and friends. In these two years we have learned to live it, we keep good habits.
