Cristina Cuomo gives update on husband Chris' coronavirus condition

[link:https://nypost.com/2020/04/06/cristina-cuomo-updates-on-husband-chris-coronavirus-condition/|

Cristina Cuomo said her CNN-host hubby still feels “incredible lethargy” but his fever has been down for the past three days, his oxygen levels were normal all week and an X-ray of his lungs on Sunday was clear.

“He has maintained his sense of taste and smell, but not his usual hearty Italian appetite,” Cristina, 50, wrote in an Instagram post.

To help with managing the illness, Cristina, a magazine editor, enlisted the help of Dr. Linda Lancaster, who specializes in alternative medicine, such as the practice of Ayurveda.

Since this particular virus has no proven remedy… she assigned oxygenated herbs, natural remedies and homeopathics to boost Chris’ immune system for the battle ahead,” Cristina wrote.

herbs and spices such as peppermint, oregano and turmeric, which are all herbs that can help your lungs. When your lungs are breathing more easily, you'll have improved oxygen levels, helping you feel better overall

But I guess desperate people do desperate things.

People used herbs and other such for most of human history to fight epidemics. And died in droves.

Hopefully he is still listening to qualified physicians.
