Italy: A woman who was not able to say goodbye to her father who died of COVID-19 has expressed her feelings by writing him a farewell letter.
Anna Mercally from the city of Vigevano, lost her father, Luciano Mercalli (76), after he spent 12 days in hospital as he was diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Anna has said her father became quite frightened when he found out that older people are the most vulnerable.
The last time Anna saw her dad was when he was taken away by an ambulance, and while he was in the hospital he urged his family not to visit him.
He wrote:
“Please do not come to see me. I am immortal, I cannot die. Hugs to everyone.”
Anna’s daughters created a montage for their grandpa with hearts drawn on paper. The nurses who were looking after him in his final moments brought it to him so he was able to see it before he passed.
Although Anna heeded her father’s request, she couldn’t help but wonder how he spent his final moments.
Speaking to local media, she said:
“I am unable to find peace imagining him alone in that bed while slipping away. Was he scared? Did he suffer? Did his beautiful blue eyes cry?”
Anna came to write her father a farewell letter after his passing to say the things she couldn’t say while he was still among the living.
The letter was printed in a local newspaper, and read:
“Hi Dad, a lot of people tell me that when I speak about you my eyes light up, and it could only be that way, you have always been the man in my life. You are my reference point for every act, the example to follow, the lighthouse for my life.”
Anna remembered the last moment she saw her dad, who was the founder of the Cerim company:
I saw him go into the ambulance and nothing else. A wave of the hand and he was gone.
As Italy keeps on struggling with it’s horrifying crisis, the lockdown put in place on March 12 has been extended beyond the original date of March 25, as per the BBC.
Self-isolation is a crucial part of dealing with the COVID-19 situation. The World Health Organization urges people to take all the necessary measures in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Detailed information can be found by clicking HERE.

iheartintelligence--2020-03-24--Man dies and his wife is in a critical condition after self-medicating with chloroquine to prevent C

Man dies and his wife is in a critical condition after self-medicating with chloroquine to prevent Coronavirus A man dies while his wife is in a critical condition after self-medicating with a fish tank cleaner having traces of the malaria drug chloroquine to prevent Coronavirus .
The couple has consumed , without a doctor ’ s prescription , the cleaner that included some of the malaria-treating drugs that President Trump has promoted .
In a recent briefing , the President of the United States told reporters : To clarify , they took something totally different from what the president talked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Tragically , self-medicating with chloroquine turned out to be fatal for the man and life-threatening for the woman .
Their names were not revealed by the Banner Health hospital , where they were treated .
In a press release on March 23 , the hospital stated : What the couple thought would ward off the virus was much different from hydroxychloroquine , the drug that many states such as New York will be using to try and combat the Coronavirus pandemic .
Additionally , Andrew Cuomo , the New York Governor , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turns out this case is not the only one where people were trying to self-medicate with the anti-malaria drug after the President ’ s statement .

Furthermore , Dr. Daniel Brooks , medical director of Banner Poison and Drug Information Center , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 , we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus , but self-medicating is not the way to do so .

Man dies and his wife is in a critical condition after self-medicating with chloroquine to prevent Coronavirus
A man dies while his wife is in a critical condition after self-medicating with a fish tank cleaner having traces of the malaria drug chloroquine to prevent Coronavirus.
The couple has consumed, without a doctor’s prescription, the cleaner that included some of the malaria-treating drugs that President Trump has promoted. In a recent briefing, the President of the United States told reporters:
“A drug called chloroquine, or hydroxychloroquine, is a common malaria drug. It’s also a drug used for strong arthritis. It’s been around for a long time and it’s very powerful. The good thing is that because it’s been around a long time we know that if things don’t go as planned it’s not going to kill anybody.”
To clarify, they took something totally different from what the president talked about, something that was not FDA-approved. Tragically, self-medicating with chloroquine turned out to be fatal for the man and life-threatening for the woman. Their names were not revealed by the Banner Health hospital, where they were treated. In a press release on March 23, the hospital stated:
“A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks. Within thirty minutes of ingestion, the couple experienced immediate effects requiring admittance to a nearby Banner Health hospital.”
What the couple thought would ward off the virus was much different from hydroxychloroquine, the drug that many states such as New York will be using to try and combat the Coronavirus pandemic.
Additionally, Andrew Cuomo, the New York Governor, has released an executive order:
“No pharmacist shall dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine except when written as prescribed for an FDA-approved indication; or as part of a state approved clinical trial.”
It turns out this case is not the only one where people were trying to self-medicate with the anti-malaria drug after the President’s statement.
Two other cases of chloroquine poisoning were reported in Nigeria.
The people were hospitalized in Lagos for overdosing with the drug. Nigeria’s Centre for Disease Control warns that the World Health Organization(WHO) hasn’t approved the use of the drug against Coronavirus.
#FactsNotFear@WHO has NOT approved the use of chloroquine for #COVID19 management. Scientists are working hard to confirm the safety of several drugs for this disease. Please DO NOT engage in self-medication. This will cause harm and can lead to death.#COVID19Nigeria pic.twitter.com/K6kljq0VtW — NCDC (@NCDCgov) March 20, 2020
Furthermore, Dr. Daniel Brooks, medical director of Banner Poison and Drug Information Center, advises:
“Given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so. The last thing that we want right now is to inundate our emergency departments with patients who believe they found a vague and risky solution that could potentially jeopardize their health.”
The danger of chlorine poisoning became a viral topic and appeared in many headlines.
The President’s son, Donald Trump Jr, took the subject to his public Twitter account. He confronts an article stating how the drug Trump touted to possibly treat Coronavirus can kill in just two grams.

“Like arsenic, toxic people will slowly kill you. They kill your positive spirit and play with your mind and emotions. The only cure is to let them go.” – Dennisse Lisseth
Being in a relationship with a toxic person can be difficult, mostly because they can be hard to spot and often even harder to get away from.
Even though not all toxic people will exhibit all of these characteristics, here are 7 signs that can warn you of a potential toxic relationship.
1. They get extremely jealous
Toxic people can get so jealous that they will try to control their partner in an unhealthy way. This one can be a little murky since not all boundaries are valid. Toxic individuals use ‘boundaries’ as a way to control, and then play the victim themselves once their ‘boundaries’ are crossed or disrespected.
2. They are always right, you are always wrong
When a person in your life never takes ownership of their mistakes and insists that you are the one to blame all the time, then you’re likely dealing with a toxic person.
They will go to extreme lengths to appear right, including twisting facts or challenging the truthfulness of your memories. Toxic individuals are never willing to admit that they have made a mistake, misspoken, or miscalculated something.
3. They have a constant need to be the center of attention
Sure, it can be a great feeling to sometimes be the center of attention and have others admire you. But for someone who is toxic this is a constant need. Just like a drug, they crawl for attention to fill their emptiness and will do whatever it takes to get it. This includes interrupting even your most important conversations, or acting like drama queens so everyone switches their focus to them.
4. They don’t know the meaning of compassion
Toxic people have a difficult time empathizing with others or being compassionate towards them. Because they are so over-focused on themselves, they are unable to notice the suffering of other people or give them the time of day.
5. They share too much about themselves
They waste no time to disclose deeply personal information about themselves or even others straight away. This is because they want to be approved of so badly they will bear any secret. Once they sense that you disapprove of them, however, they will turn against you and any information they have on you will be used against you, or in future attempts to come off as the victim to others.
6. They never apologize
Even if they know they are wrong, toxic individuals will not say sorry (and mean it). On the occasions they do apologize, it is usually a tactical move to manipulate you to give them what they want later. They feel that they are right by default, no matter the circumstances, and will twist the truth in order to appear right, or blame others.
7. They are always negative
Toxic people have a never-ending supply of negativity. Whether it be moaning about or judging others, a toxic person is always in the worst state of mind. In their heads nothing ever goes as planned and the world is a nasty, terrible place. Being around such a negative person can really suck out all your energy.
Make sure to recognize whether your partner/friend exhibits these signs and don’t hesitate to remove them from your life before it’s too late.

Loyalty stands for commitment, dedication, and devotion. It is an essential ingredient of any successful business, as well as any long-lasting, loving relationship. Both our professional and our personal relationships need to be built on trust, respect, and empathy, which are the most significant elements of loyalty.
Below are listed nine surprising truths you may not know about the essence of loyalty.
1. Loyalty is rare.
Sadly, nowadays, loyalty is extremely hard to find. In today’s world, most people are too busy figuring out how to survive, and they forget the importance of genuine human contact. We are constantly forced to compete with each other, which sometimes makes us betray one another so we can win. But are there really winners, if we crush every moral and belief we have on the way?
2. Being loyal is a difficult challenge.
Oftentimes, if the atmosphere around us is hostile or adverse, being loyal can be extremely difficult. However, no matter the situation, loyalty will always guarantee you a clean conscience and a good night’s sleep. It allows you to be true to yourself and to your values, which is something not many people can say for themselves these days.
3. Loyalty should never be submissive.
Being loyal means being thoughtful, devoted, and vulnerable. But it doesn’t mean being naive. The harsh truth is, even the people we love the most are capable of betraying us. That’s why we should always be mindful and carefully choose who to be loyal to. Never let your loyalty become slavery. If people can’t appreciate what you’re bringing to the table, simply let them eat alone.
4. You should be loyal to the past too.
Our past choices and mistakes are what made us the people we are today. We should never hide or run from our past. Instead, we need to accept it and be loyal to it. After all, if it weren’t for our previous decisions, and our past downfalls, we wouldn’t be able to learn the significant life lessons we know today.
5. Loyalty demands integrity.
You can’t be loyal to your boss and not be loyal to your family or vice versa. If you are a genuine, loyal person, then you will treat everyone with the same respect and consideration. Otherwise, you’re just fooling yourself you know what loyalty truly means.
6. There are people you should never trust.
Unfortunately, there are many people you should never give your trust and loyalty to. These are the ones who guiltlessly betray others. What’s more, these are the people who make lying and deceiving seem like a child’s play. They carelessly fall into a web of lies and effortlessly fool everyone around them.
7. Loyalty goes hand in hand with gratitude.
A loyal person is a grateful person. The ungrateful most often tend to be disloyal. As already mentioned, such people don’t deserve your sincerity, your trust, and your fidelity. They don’t deserve any more second chances and compromises. You should always reward loyalty with loyalty, and disloyalty with distance.
8. Betrayal never comes from your enemies.
The most painful truth about loyalty is that the ones who break it are usually the people we love and trust the most. But it’s when someone breaks your trust, the time when you realize who is actually being true to you. And it’s the time when you learn the importance of forgiveness. Forgiving someone who betrayed you, and forgiving yourself for letting them, is one of the hardest challenges life brings us.
9. Loyalty pays off.
Being loyal always pays off. Sometimes, it may seem like no one appreciates your authenticity, but this shouldn’t stop you from staying true to your core values.
People who embrace their loyalty even when it seems impossible are people worthy of admiration and respect.
Nothing compares to a loyal, genuine soul.

Emotional violence is another kind of abuse … it’s not about words because an emotionally abusive person doesn’t always resort to using the verbal club, but rather the verbal untraceable poison. – Augusten Burroughs
Emotional abuse is also referred to as psychological or mental abuse.
Its function is to belittle, isolate, shame and control others into subservience. It happens incrementally over time, and in the end, the victim’s sense of self-worth and own way of thinking erode into submission.
If you happen to suspect that you might be a victim of emotional abuse you should consider abandoning ship.
Here are 7 brutally honest truths about emotional abusers you should look out for:

2. Threats
The abuser may threaten to expose you in a way they know will embarrass you, or they may threaten to take something important from you, such as your house, your money, or even your children. Some will threaten to ditch you if you don’t do what they want, or they may say they will reveal your deepest secret for everyone to know.
Emotional abusers have a deep-seeded need to control their partner. The abuser will try to make the victim feel as if they are unable to make their own decisions. They withhold both emotional and sexual attention as a way of punishing or scaring their partner into submission. In addition, they try to control the finances, as a way of making their partner dependent on them.

They could even ask you to delete your own social media account and create a shared one with them so they can monitor everything.
Gaslighting is a psychological weapon the abuser uses to get the victim to doubt their own feelings, memories, judgement and even sanity.

A British woman found herself under fire from upset internet users after she was hospitalized with coronavirus and shared a video with her friends about her experience.
Tara Jane Langston, 39, was accused of creating a hoax by online trolls.
Here is what her husband, Richard Langston had to say on the issue:
“It made me question humanity,” he said from his Middlesex home, where he is self-isolating with his kids. “How could people be that negative? It just doesn’t make sense.”
Richard said his wife was in great condition before she fell ill from COVID 19 and was brought into intensive care.
“She started feeling unwell a week last Monday and went to the hospital after calling 111, Richard recalled. The hospital staff told her she had a chest infection and she was prescribed antibiotics and sent home.”
Richard compared Tara’s condition to a pendulum, where she would switch from recovering to getting worse again.
The couple called an ambulance when her condition got significantly worse.
“It was a horrific and terrifying ordeal,” Richard said.
After being diagnosed with coronavirus, Tara shared a video to her workmates’ Whatsapp group. Her sister, Nicole Poppy, had this to say:
“One of the people she works with shared it. Never asked her or told her it went viral while she was in her hospital bed and didn’t know till the next day.”
In the viral video, Tara said:
“If anyone is thinking of taking any chances, just take a look at me. I’m in the intensive care unit. I can’t breathe without this. They’ve had to sew that into my artery. I’ve got a cannula, another cannula and a catheter.”
Tara’s first video quickly went viral but people but people online were questioning its authenticity.
In addition to positive message, Tara received a lot of negative feedback from people questioning the truthfulness of the video, in part because she did not specify what she was suffering from.
“My daughter was getting upset as were Jane’s sister and friends. People having arguments on Twitter saying it’s not real and it’s fake. I was getting messages from people telling me to prove it,” Tara said.
Her sister dismissed the conspiracy theories with a shrug.
“Everyone’s going to have an opinion or conspiracy theory,” she said.
But all the negativity eventually made Tara record a second video to prove she was not lying.
Tara released a second video to prove that she is, in fact, in intensive care due to having been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Richard is happy of his decision to pack his wife’s phone before she was taken to the hospital.
“She otherwise wouldn’t have had any communication with us. I spoke to her today and she is doing a lot better,” he said. “She hasn’t had any visitors and she has done this all by herself.”
He couldn’t be more proud of his wife and is convinced that many good things will come out of this experience nevertheless.
“A lot of people going about their business and not thinking there are consequences have got in touch to say the video has changed their mind.”
Tara has since released a new video.
She is now recovering and seems to look much healthier than before.
Stay strong, Tara!

Stanford University researchers have found that N95 masks can be effectively sterilized and reused without affecting their filtration ability.
This can happen through low-temperature heating in conventional kitchen ovens.
Considering Coronavirus face mask shortages, scientists from Stanford have conducted a study confirming that the N95 masks can be decontaminated in a domestic environment. They suggest that leaving the mask in a regular kitchen oven at 70C/158F for 30 minutes will efficiently sterilize it. Therefore, the masks are suitable for reuse.
“70C /158F heating in an oven for 30min, or hot watervapor from boiling water for 10 min, are additional effective decontamination
methods.”
The masks are a key component of medical workers’ full personal equipment protecting them from possible Coronavirus infection.

Monday, March 23 – Washington – Surgeon General Jerome Adams issued a stern warning to people who might not be taking the coronavirus outbreak seriously enough, saying that the situation is likely to worsen substantially.
“I want America to understand this week, it’s going to get bad,” he told the “TODAY” show.
He noted that the disease is far from being contained because many people – especially the young – are not following the guidance rules issued by the government.
“Right now, there are not enough people out there who are taking this seriously,” Adams said.
The General noted that youngsters are gathering at the beaches of California and many are still going to the National Mall in Washington to admire the cherry blossom trees that bloom every year.
He noted that people must understand the severity of the COVID 19 situation and that they can potentially end up dead in a hospital.
“Everyone needs to act as if they have the virus right now. So, test or no test, we need you to understand you could be spreading it to someone else. Or you could be getting it from someone else. Stay at home,” he warned.
When asked about the pressure that is currently put on President Donald Trump to use the Defence Production Act to force companies to produce critical supplies on mass, Adams said that it is not thus far necessary.
“Here’s the thing that people don’t understand. You don’t need to compel someone to do something they are already doing,” he said, adding that the President’s administration is currently working with companies like Hanes and Honeywell that are already producing massive quantities of needed items. “The other important point is that we’re not going to ventilator our way out of this problem. We’re not going to treat our way out of this problem,” Adams said. “The way you stop the spread of an infectious disease like this is with mitigation measures and preventing people from getting it in the first place.”
