A novel coronavirus is a new strain that has not been seen before in humans. SARS-Co-V2 is a novel virus, causing the disease COVID-19. Because COVID-19 is a new disease, much is still being learned about how it spreads and the severity of illness it causes.

On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Gregory Poland, infectious disease expert and head of Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group, explains the science behind how the virus makes people sick, and what the virus does to the body. Dr. Poland will also discuss the latest information on clinical trials and vaccine research to fight the disease outbreak.

Dr. Poland has served as a consultant for Merck & Co. Inc., Medicago Inc., GlaxoSmithKline plc, Sanofi Pasteur, Emergent BioSolutions Inc., Dynavax Technologies Corp., Genentech Inc., Eli Lilly and Co., Kentucky BioProcessing Inc. and Genevant Sciences Corp., and Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. He is a paid scientific adviser for Johnson & Johnson. Honoraria: Elsevier.

Our nearest Publix is in The Villages in Florida. They are the ones who are hoarding all the meat, eggs and dairy products. My husband needs to find eggs somewhere soon, but we have given up hope of finding them anywhere near The Villages. We don’t live there so we need to find somewhere else to shop. I hate to go into the grocery stores every week. I think that I will stay in the car, but my husband can contact the virus and bring it home.

We went to our local supermarket twice the week before last because we were out of meat. We thought that we had been transported to Venezuela or to a third world country. There was no meat, milk, eggs, butter or any other sustainable food to be had. Last week, we were able to buy one chicken. Thank goodness that it was a big one because I have been able to make six days of meals from it. We have a pound of shrimp in the freezer and I should be able to stretch that too. But there still are no eggs. As soon as the store opens at 7 AM, the lines around the store had been forming since 6. By the time we get there, the food is gone. So many people are hoarding!

Jane you said, “There was no meat, milk, eggs, butter or any other sustainable food to be had. Last week, we were able to buy one chicken.”

WOW! Not even perfectly sustainable potatoes, butternut squash, lentils, whole wheat pasta, brown rice.

It’s been years since I ate any of those foods you consider sustainable. My total cholesterol typically flirts with 150, blood pressure 115/72.
I figure my body has enough to contend with what with MAC and Bronchiectasis. I want to spare it the known deleterious impact of animal flesh and lactation products.

I can’t eat the things you mentioned because they are forbidden on a strict renal diet. Even brown rice is forbidden. I have to limit the amount of potassium and phosphorus in my diet while at the same time get about 35 grams of protein every day. I am in stage 3 of renal failure.

Jane, I'm also Stage 3 CKD so another something we share in common. We are all in this together, yes?

Jane, I’m dining on Humble Pie. Maybe by the time I’m 90 I’ll have learned to not start shooting off my mouth before the circumstances of the situation. My apologies for any annoyance or discomfort I might have caused.
