Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.  

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans. 

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, an infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. 

Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. (Source: WHO International)

To protect yourself we recommend the N95 respiratory mask plus replacement filters.

The availability worldwide has bene depleted dramatically and shipping times increased since the outbreak in Wuhan, China. The government is seizing protective gear supplies primarily for their own population, and since they produce 98% of worldwide protective gear (USA 1%, Taiwan 1%), we are at a crunch. Even wholesalers are struggling to obtain product and cannot service customers 6 months in advance.

What big shops cannot fulfill, due to their high volume quantity business models, FluShields can, by sourcing even the smallest providers for their remaining product to deliver to our customers.
