One night, a Hunter took his 6 yr old Son to the forest to teach him how to hunt utilizing the Sense of Smell. His son, an inquisitive child, listen intently & often repeated what he heard. He armed his Son with nothing, but an orange flash light and gave him specific instructions to follow after briefing him before his 1st hunt. Here is what was said;
Hunter: Son, you have been asking me could you go hunting with myself since you were five years old and I told you to wait until you got older. The reason I said wait, was because there are many variables to learn in becoming a good hunter. Tonight, you will learn the variable regarding the Sense of Smell.
Son: Dad, what are variables?
Hunter: Let's just say things that could be changed or adapted. Tonight, we are going to hunt for pole cats or either skunks. The object of this hunt is not to kill, but search for an animal that possess a very bad smell in the dark. Understand, that somethings we seek in life are not always seen with the eyes, so you must learn to grasp details about them to find them.
Son: Dad, what are details and how will I find a pole cat or either skunk?
Hunter: Well, before I answer your question. Tell me who are we going to hunt, what did I give you to hunt with, when did we start this journey? Why are we not going to kill this animal, where are pole cats or either skunks located? How will you locate a pole cat or skunk in the dark without light?
As the two individuals walked up a hill along a trail in a star lit night with the Moon shining bright, here is what the young boy replied,
Son: Dad, we are are going to hunt for a very bad smelling pole cat or either skunk with an orange flash light, and the hunt started when it got dark outside in the woods. We are not going to kill the animal, but learn to locate it using the variable called, 'Sense of Smell'.
Hunter: Son, details are individual features, facts, or items. You now understand how to find a pole cat or either skunk by using the variable, 'Sense of Smell'.
Perhaps, identifying symptoms of the COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 requires one to know many variables regarding its functions or physiology.
COVID-19 - novel (new) corona virus is a SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus. *1
With many people being infected with COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2; it appears that not all signs or symptoms for COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 are clearly known. What has not yet been proven by scientist at the time of the written document (3/27/20 1:53 AM EST) is whether or not it transfer in human sweat. *2
So, what defense can be built against COVID-19?

2) Wear long sleeve shirts, pants, socks in shoes, gloves on hand, hat on forehead and mask over face when in the environment of a person infected with the virus. Whenever possible change out of these clothes while placing them in a sealed plastic bag, if you are not able to wash them in the washing machine immediately. Note: The virus can live on plastic for up to 2 to 3 days and stainless steel. Dispose of the plastic bag after it's use. *1
