If you think you have the flu or COVID-19, your healthcare provider may want to test you to see which one you have.  There are prescription antiviral drugs that are FDA approved to treat the flu.  Remdesivir is an intravenous drug that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of COVID-19 hospitalized adults and pediatric (age >= 12 years and weighing >= 40 kg) patients.  Continue to pray for our state, country and world for healing.

Psalm 121 (NKJV) “I will lift up my eyes to the hills, From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.  He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.  Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.  The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.  The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.  The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth and even forevermore.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive theirs sins and heal their land.”

John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
