I had a good look at the tree yesterday and the other woman with the one I spoke to had climbed through the tree and has broken several branches. I have been pruning that Apple tree for the last few years and it really upsets me that outsiders comes into our hood and not only steals but damages the tree.
Just been across the road when I saw a woman carrying a large banana box of apples from one of the Apple tree's that the locals use. I asked if she was collecting for a Charity she said she was collecting for her Community in Mount Pleasant. I explained the locals get fruit from that particular apple tree and only take a small amount. That this is an area of Housing commission/low income/beneficiaries area and what they are doing amounts to stealing from the "Poor" for the "Rich" . We all need to share and be kind to others especially in these times.

10 drops of essential oil, such as lavender oil, or you can use lemon juice instead

Pour all ingredients into a bowl, ideally one with a pouring spout like a glass measuring container.
Mix with a spoon and then beat with a whisk to turn the sanitizer into a gel.
Pour the ingredients into an empty bottle for easy use, and label it “hand sanitizer.”

This virus is characterized by obstructing respiratory pathways with thick mucus that solidifies and blocks the airways and lungs.
So they have discovered that in order to be able to apply a medicine, you have to open and unblock these airways so that the treatment can be used to take effect.
However, all of this takes a number of days.
Their recommendations for what you can do to safeguard yourselves are:
1. Drink lots of hot liquids – coffee, soups, teas, warm water.
☕️ 🍵 🍲
In addition,
•take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes
because this keeps your mouth moist and washes any of the virus that entered your mouth into your stomach with the gastric juices or neutralize it before it can get to the lungs.
💪🏻
2. Gargle with an antiseptic with warm water like
•vinegar or salt or lemon everyday, if possible.
🍋
3. The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes.
Any detergent or soap kills it but you must take a bath or shower when you get in from the street.
🚿
Avoid sitting down anyway and go straight to the bathroom or shower.
If you cannot wash your clothes daily, hang them in direct sunlight which also neutralizes the virus.
☀️
4. Wash metallic surfaces very carefully because the virus can remain viable on these for up to 9 days.
🗓
Take note and be vigilant about touching handrails and door handles, etc.
I guess within your own house as well you can make sure that you are keeping those clean and wiping them down regularly.
🛑 🚬
5. Don’t smoke.
6. Wash your hands every 20 minutes using any soap that foams. Do this for 20 seconds and wash your hands thoroughly.
🧼 👍🏻
7. Eat fruits and vegetables.
🍎 🍅
Try to elevate your
•Zinc levels, not just your Vitamin C levels.
::
8. Animals do not spread the virus to people. ⭕️🐒⭕️ 🦇
This is person-to-person transmission.
9. Try to avoid getting the common flu. 😷
I guess because this just already weakens your system and try to avoid eating and drinking cold things.
10. If you feel any discomfort in your throat or sore throat coming on, attack it immediately using the above methods.
The virus enters the system this way and remains for 3 or 4 days within the throat before it passes into the lungs.
Let's all stay safe, take precautions and use common sense. Xoxo
