How thoughtful of you to offer to help us out.  That is so truly kind of you.  I see that the US/Canadian border has closed today as you expected and that makes me so sad.  We are several hours south of British Columbia and an hour south of Seattle in the Puget Sound, or the Salish Sea as the Native Americans called it.  

As I walked the island today, I thought of the 500 Native Americans of the Puyallup and Nisqually tribes who were confined here during the Puget Sound Wars 164 years ago.  In effect, they were quarantined here and I wonder how they managed physically during the long, dark, cold winter.  I wonder what they ate?  Fish, game?  Fruits?  Berries?  Did they grow crops?  

Their quarantine was much harsher than ours in the year 2020 with our freezers full of food and our pantries full of staples, our electricity, our running water and furnaces.  I do believe we are going to be okay.  I am sending you much light and thankfulness for your kind offer.  May we all extend that helping hand to others.  It will make us better people by focusing on helping others.

Namaste.

i love your dream and agree with your interpretation.  We are going to go through a very difficult part, then we are going to figure some things out.  Maybe there will be an effective antivirus treatment, maybe we see people getting sick and recovering?  I think we will be dealing with Coronavirus for quite a while, but we are going to have better information going forward.  We are going to find our way and we are going to get through this.

When I woke up from the dream I felt that things might actually move along a little faster than people think they will...not sure why.  Viruses are taking advantage of human activity.  China first repressed the truth of the virus and finally had to admit the virus was a problem and take action.  All that time they wasted made things so much worse in their country.  The other countries hopefully will do better.  Once most people in the US take this seriously and take decisive action things will improve so much faster I hope.

Figured we could all use some great news right now.

Hydroxychloroquine(malaria drug from 50s) paired with Zpac has cured 100% of 40 covid patients in France. The fact that's its 100% is really encouraging even with the small sample group. Best part is both are already on the market so this could end quite quickly if it works in a larger trial

@starpath When I read your incredible dream, I thought of the 250 foot cliff I'd seen back in 1986 when I got a message about the future we were all heading into.  I was told that the people who'd be part of a community I was finding (via readings, classes, and a forum) were light workers who who'd be helping distressed people, people who could not handle the changes coming to our earth.

I saw people migrating to higher ground and way up a head was this steep cliff that we would all have to climb. I saw it as a metaphor for the rising consciousness we would have to achieve, slowly, step by step, as we faced the challenges of a changing earth.  The cliff also represented the new coastlines we'd be seeing as the glaciers melted.  

Your dream is a close-up of that ascent.  It is something I want to meditate on because it is a kind of map for us.

@mas1581 Thanks for posting this.  I tried to get it but pharmacist is out.  I think people are on to it. But do you have a link for this finding?  It has been known as an antiviral drug for a long time.  But I hadn't seen the results for the Covid-19 virus.

It works well on it's own but paired with azithromycin(Zpac) it works wonders so far.

This could be HUGE!  Such great news!  If true,  later April might start seeing some some big hope and results.  Excellent job France.

I wonder how many other brilliant finds are out there and about to be discovered.

So hopeful!

Completely agree. It's a game changer. Yes there will still be a few deaths and serious cases, but between this and tests, we can get ahead of it quickly and if we do it right(not a guarantee with moron in office), we have this relegated to the same level as SARS and H1N1 pretty fast. The fact that both drugs have been used for decades makes this such a quick and simple solution.

What a great dream!

Today I overfocused on the news and the numbers and my personall risk factors & got myself scared and stressed. I came back out to have some warm milk and another sliver of ambien and looked for something to calm me. Your dream was perfect. 

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to stay off technology at least for a portion of the day.  Also pick back up some new habits that I have been regressing from again.

breathe and snuggle the cat.

Yes I think the dream calmed me quite a bit.  I am glad it helped you also.  I woke up and remembered little things I enjoy to stay centered...I enjoy knitting, crochet, crafts and reading.  Those hobbies we love to do give us a calmness and sense of peace.  Also acts of self-love such as exercise or giving our body healthy foods can center us and strengthen us for stressful times.  The cup of tea at the last part of the dream was comforting as well as talking to my brother.  I can pick up the phone and call him anytime, and maybe I will do that in the next few days.  Having that comfy furniture or bed with soft pillows--that is a simple pleasure we can be grateful for even if we are staying home to be cautious and to reduce our exposure to the virus.  Staying home with the loved animal companions is comfort for the soul too!

Sanjay Gupta on CNN tonight said a new study out of China says 4 out of 5 people likely got the virus from someone who showed no symptoms. He said to take shoes off before entering the house and disinfect them..  Coughing or sneezing days possibly.

There's an article that discusses about more or less how our careless actions on the environment, especially with wildlife, has forced humanity to pay the price.

I am feeling a lot lighter today -- wondering if any of you are feeling the same.

Suspira, this is amazing. I've been to Italy and the water in the canals never looked like this (dark, unclean looking and I never saw fish). This made me so very happy. What an eye opener for we humans. I hope people will use this information and begin to want to help our planet even more.

This was beautiful and gave me hope! Thanks for pointing this out. I've included a link so folks can also see a picture.

I just saw it reported that a prisoner at Riker's tested positive for covid19. I feel very certain that they will not be helped. It will be a "lack of resources" cited, and the dog whistles about the lack of worth of prisoners, and mainly brown and black prisoners,will go on with a wink and a nod. This epidemic incubator will not be addressed. If our History is any proof. They have lost the humanity to see all others as sentient and suffering. 

Sorry, it's a downer. I pray to be proven wrong but it just feels like, unless they truly care about the numbers, nothing will be done. It's always easier to do nothing, then act, so they will simply ignore and obfuscate.

Please someone, tell me something different

Already have fallen far short of my goals for today. Perhaps my goal should be to put aside goals.  ;)

Have an unhealthy fascination with the news. Watching the stock market tank gives me hope. The real "washing away" of the virus Trump speaks about is actually the Trump era leaving us.
