COVID-19: FAQ
As we are all aware by now, the presence of COVID-19 has been now been labeled as a pandemic. There have been many different, and sometimes conflicting, reports about COVID-19. Here is some information I have gathered from the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) (www.bccdc.ca) that I hope will help clear things up for some of you.
B.C.’s COVID-19 pandemic response plans include a wide range of planning and preparedness actions to help individuals, local governments, health-sector organizations and businesses to plan for the possibility of a pandemic. The plan focuses on delaying, containing and preparing the province to minimize serious illness and economic disruption.
What you need to know What is coronavirus/COVID-19? Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses found mostly in animals. In humans, they can cause diseases ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). The new coronavirus has been named COVID-19. While many of the characteristics of COVID-19 are still unknown, mild to severe illness has been reported for confirmed cases. Anyone concerned that they may have been exposed to, or are experiencing symptoms of the novel coronavirus, should contact their primary care provider, local public health office, or call 8-1-1.
How can I prevent getting infected? The most important thing you can do to prevent infection is to wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face. To help reduce your risk of infection: • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Using soap and water is the single most effective way of reducing the spread of infection. • If a sink is not available, alcohol based hand rubs (ABHR) can be used to clean your hands as long as they are not visibly soiled. If they are visibly soiled, use a wipe and then ABHR to effectively clean them. • Do not touch your face, eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. • Cover your mouth and nose with a disposable tissue or the crease of your elbow when you sneeze or cough. • Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
What is the risk to the public? In B.C., Canada and many other countries, we continue our efforts to prevent the virus from spreading in the community and break the chains of transmission. We are closely monitoring the global situation and
recognize that the virus is spreading within communities in other parts of the world. We are preparing and planning for more widespread transmission in B.C. and Canada to mitigate the impact of the virus on individuals, the health care system and the community. What is the situation in BC? You can find the latest information about confirmed cases in British Columbia here: http://www.bccdc. ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/casecounts-press-statements To protect people in B.C. against novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and mitigate the impact of this illness on communities, the B.C. government and the provincial health officer have developed the British Columbia Pandemic Provincial Co-ordination Plan to respond to the evolving outbreak.

Recent COVID-19 Restrictions and Closures
At the time of publication, here are a few of the recent restrictions ordered by the BC Government • All schools, public and private, are closed until further notice. • Daycares are still available. • All public gatherings of more than 50 people. This includes indoor and outdoor sporting events, conferences, meetings, religious gatherings and other similar events. • On the recommendation of the provincial health officer, the attorney general, minister responsible for the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, has ordered all casinos to close until further notice to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Can February March? No, But April May!! Samantha Nason BS Ranch & Greenhouses It’s hard to get too enthusiastic about the yard or garden when the weather seems to want to punish us with unseasonal cold weather. Just as everything seemed to be melting down nicely Jack Frost descends from the north and even the illusion of spring seems to fade. I wander around the house and see that the Crocus is blooming and the Daffodils and Tulips, even some lillies are sprouting. Trees and bushes are starting to bud and I feel optimistic that spring is definitely around the corner. Things are coming along nicely In the greenhouse as well, lots to plant still but all in its good time. Peppers should be started now as they take a bit of time to sprout as well grow slowly enough that they will be contained in the seed trays for long enough that transplanting and space should not be an issue. Tomatoes too can still be started although fruit development will be later than the plants started late January but they will still be more than productive in the summer. So many more of the vegetables that most gardeners grow should not yet be started as they will sprout to quickly and grow to fast. This will only be a burden in a small growing are but will not be in their best interest when you start to transplant them in the garden, so many do not like a disruption of their roots during this process. Lettuce can be given a head start on your window sill, just sprinkle the seed sparingly in a container with sterile soil. Once they have germinated and are of a size to transplant the soil in your garden will be able to nurture the plants. Even if the temperature seem low. Lettuce is a cool weather plant and even a temperature that is below zero at times will not affect the plant adversely. I am seeing a bit of damping off on my Geraniums so I have liberally sprinkled the seedlings with Cinnamon which is a natural fungicide and they seem to be doing much better. Geranium are very susceptible but are not the only seedling that are at risk. Watch for all seedlings that seem to die off at soil level or just below the two small leaves that first appear. To further prevent this problem remove the covers that you use to maintain humidity, do this until the leaves are dry or a few hours everyday . You can also use a fan to provide
net and social media sources. Having worked for the provincial ambulance service during outbreaks of the Norwalk virus I accredit my well being due to diligent hand washing and the cleaning of anything that other people may have touched like doorknobs, light switches, phones etc. I have always used alcohol swabs to sanitize my space on airplane flights and have never become ill from a vacation. This may be a new way of interaction with world we know and the ever increasing interactions there of. A world that is one. Be diligent but not fearful for this too shall pass. Keep safe! Happy Gardening!

a gentle breeze to dry the plant after watering. This gentle breeze will also help develop stem strength as the breeze causes the plant to increase cell production along the stem which will strengthen it. Please remember that I do mean gentle. Its a bit early yet for any infestation problems in the greenhouse but if you have brought plants into your house to over winter them be on the lookout for aphids. I have found a issue with one of my Hibiscus trees. A thorough spraying with soap and water and it seems to have solved that problem although I will keep a good eye on the plant. I have found a couple of lady bugs in the house, I usually capture them and take them to the greenhouse, I would think this cruel in light of the recent low tempers. I often wonder where they have been all winter and why they seem to appear now. Obviously mother nature informs them when it will be likely for them to find food and water With the recent hysteria about the COVID-19 virus a (my husband still wants to call it the beer virus) that as affected so many of our lives either directly or not and maybe even more so in the coming months.

March is Liver Health Month A liver is a complex and resilient organ that works 24 hours a day. This organ processes virtually everything you eat, drink, breathe or even rub on your skin. A liver performs over 500 functions that are vital to life. Every moment of each day your liver is helping your body by providing it with energy, fighting off infections and toxins, regulating hormones, assisting with blood clotting and much more. March is Liver Health Awareness Month. Liver disease can sneak up on you and there is a common fallacy that the main cause is alcohol consumption. The truth is there are well over 100 forms of liver disease and only one is directly attributed to alcohol use. In fact, the leading cause of liver transplants in Canada is currently Hepatitis C but this may soon be replaced by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is closely linked to obesity and diabetes. Think of your liver as your engine; it drives many of your body’s critical functions and if it starts to break

Health & Nutrition
Cholesterol
When we hear the word cholesterol, we think of it being bad right away. The fact is cholesterol is an essential fat-like substance in all cells of the body. It is essential for many of the body’s metabolic processes and we need blood cholesterol to: 1. Build cell membrane structures 2. Make hormones as estrogen, testosterone and adrenal hormones 3. Production of bile acids that help the body digest fat and absorb nutrients 4. Help body produce vitamin D. Cholesterol travels through the blood on proteins called “lipoproteins.” Lipoproteins role are to transport all fat molecules, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol within the extracellular water of the body to all the cells and tissues: • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol – carries most of the cholesterol that is delivered to cells. It is called the ‘bad’ cholesterol because when its level in the bloodstream is high, it can clog up your arteries. • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol – is called the ‘good’ cholesterol, because it helps remove excess cholesterol out of the cells, including cells in the arteries, it reduces, reuses and recycles LDL to liver where it can be processed. Sometimes there is a diabetes and cholesterol link. That is because triglycerides as mentions above” in the role of a lipoprotein,” is a fat made from excess calories from sugar, alcohol or other food sources that also contribute to development of diabetes. So, it’s not just a high saturated and or trans fat diet that can lead to high cholesterol as we sometimes think. Here’s a breakdown of sugar’s impact on lipoproteins and the link to heart disease: • Diets high in sugar make your liver synthesize more LDL (low-density lipoprotein) “bad” cholesterol. • A sugary diet lowers your HDL (high-density lipoprotein) “good” cholesterol. • Excess sugar profoundly raises your triglycerides, while at the same time, inhibits an enzyme that breaks triglycerides down. All this sugar makes your blood glucose levels rise quickly, which causes an immediate spike in insulin. The more sugar you eat, the more insulin you secrete,
and the more fat you build up. As you become more resistant to insulin you store even more fat. This all leads to prediabetes or diabetes, weight gain and metabolic syndrome which can all lead to high LDL cholesterol. In fact, here are some factors that can lead to high LDL cholesterol: • Consuming a diet high in saturated and or trans fats (potato chips, pastries, deep fried foods, natural trans fatty foods found in red meat). • Smoking • Having poorly controlled diabetes • Being diagnosed with metabolic syndrome • A diet with low to minimal fruits and vegetables • A diet in high glycemic carbohydrates (rice, breads, sugary snacks, natural and processed sweeteners.…) Once diagnosed with high cholesterol you are usually asked to change your diet or be put on a statin drug to control cholesterol. Most people I have worked with and have put on a proper diet and exercise program, have come out with positive results, no longer having type 2 diabetes and no longer having to take medication for high cholesterol. The exception is having a hereditary predisposition with cholesterol.
If you have a family history sometimes there is not choice but to stay on medication. But you can control how high a dose and prevent other dispositions by implementing a healthy diet and exercise program, which I have also worked with many people on. If you are directed to go a statin drug whether in the short or long term there is a very important supplement you should be taking and that is Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. I will explain why this is so important and how else this supplemental enzyme can be beneficial in other situations in next week’s corner.
