UPDATED: Can We survive coronavirus-related pandemics now and in the future? Answer: Yes. How? BUT FIRST, PLEASE NOTE: According to a CDC report, nearly 90% of patients hospitalized with coronavirus (COVID-19) had one or more underlying health conditions.
https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/04/15/coronavirus-risk-90-patients-had-underlying-conditions/2962721001/
Children Gravely Ill With Covid-19 Often Had Other Medical Conditions . . . [The vast majority of the patients — 40 children, including the two who died — had pre-existing medical conditions. Nearly half of those patients had complex developmental disorders like cerebral palsy or lifelong technology-dependent treatments like tracheostomies or feeding tubes, children “who have trouble walking, talking, eating, breathing,” Dr. Shekerdemian said. Other pre-existing health issues included cancer and suppressed immune systems from organ transplants or immunological conditions.] . . . [The new study also suggests that, at least at this point in the pandemic, “nobody knows what the appropriate treatment is for these very sick children,” said Dr. Nigel Curtis, a professor of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Melbourne, who was not involved in the research.]

Compare and Contrast with the Diet of Daniel.
[The United Nations declared 2016 to be the year of Pulses. The United Nations defines pulses from the Latin language as legumes, meaning beans, peas and lentils. They are promoted for their high nutritional content of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. They are also recognized to be extremely easy on the environment to produce when compared to other food sources such as animal flesh. . . . This means that Daniel was asking for a plant diet, including fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables. Fruits and grains obviously bear seeds. Even a mushroom has a fruiting body by which it sows its seed. Potatoes, garlic, beets, carrots and onions make seeds if we let them. Don’t forget the seeds themselves, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and cashew nuts all qualify. . . . After eating this diet for three years Scriptures tell us the astounding results: Daniel 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.]

COMPARE AND CONTRAST WITH THE WORD OF WISDOM: In 1833, Joseph Smith, Jr. received a revelation called the Word of Wisdom, now canonized as Doctrine and Covenants 89. The revelation is best known today for establishing the widely recognized Latter-day Saint practices of abstaining from alcohol, tobacco, and drug use, as well as coffee and tea. By [the 1860s and 1870s, Brigham Young called on the Saints to reject all use of tea, coffee, tobacco, and liquor.] . . . (later) . . . recreational drugs are forbidden by the Word of Wisdom, while authorized use of prescription drugs is permitted. The Modern Latter-day Saints have absolute proof that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is True, and Saints are led by Heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ; They know all science. [In the grand scheme of cancer, meat isn't the biggest player. Estimates by the Global Burden of Disease Project, a subset of the WHO, put the number of annual cancer cases from red meat at 50,000. That's compared to 200,000 from air pollution, 600,000 from alcohol, and one million from tobacco. But it's not nothing.] In order: tobacco worst, alcohol is next, then air pollution, (as well as illicit drug use), (then armed conflict), (then natural disasters), and finally, red meat. There is a tremendous disconnect between reality and the efforts of globalists and localists that [embrace strategies for jointly tackling local air quality and global climate change.] The number one challenge today is smoking and vaping by humans, created through business covetousness, purely for the sake of.monetary gain, over human well being.

Furthermore, air pollution and global climate change are challenged in their relative seriousness, by illicit drug use. [In 2000, the median number of global deaths attributed to illicit drugs estimated by summing the four causes of death was 194,058. There were an additional 10 000 deaths from overdose above and beyond those coded as drug use disorders (added to unintentional injuries) or when coded drug use disorder deaths were higher than estimated overdose deaths. The median 2000 estimate derived using the all-cause method was 197,383.] This is further, gravely complicated by the legalization of illegal drugs to "recreational drugs".

Also under comparative consideration:[As extensive data collection by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) shows, a large portion of the globe is engulfed in some form of conflict. This infographic shows countries in which there have been reports of armed clashes involving state forces and/or rebel groups in 2020. Even using this simplified definition, the presence of war across the world is extensive.] For the Time Period: 09/05/2019-09/05/2020 --- 132,292 are the number of Total Fatalities listed; just lower than illicit drug use.

ITEM ONE: Smoking and Vaping. [And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.]

ITEM TWO: Alcohol [That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.. . . And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.]
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/89?lang=eng
ITEM THREE: Illicit Drug Use [Estimating mortality directly attributable to illicit drug use such as over-dose death—the most tangible adverse heath effect of illicit drug use—is difficult because of variations in the quality and quantity of mortality data. As a result, it is necessary to make indirect estimates, involving estimates of the prevalence of illicit drug use. However, it is difficult to make even indirect estimates because the use of these drugs is illegal, stigmatized  and  hidden.  Nonetheless, efforts must be made to estimate the contribution that illicit drug use makes to the global burden of disease,because it is a pattern of behaviour that has a substantial adverse effect on the health of those who engage in it]

ITEM SIX: Natural Disasters [Natural Disasters - Our World in Data]
[Natural disasters kill on average 60,000 people per year and are responsible for 0.1% of global deaths.] [If we look at the average over the past decade, approximately 60,000 people globally died from natural disasters each year. This represents 0.1% of global deaths.]
https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters
ITEM SEVEN: Red Meat [Q&A on the carcinogenicity of the consumption of red meat and processed meat.] [An international advisory committee that met in 2014 recommended red meat and processed meat as high priorities for evaluation by the IARC Monographs Programme. This recommendation was based on epidemiological studies suggesting that small increases in the risk of several cancers may be associated with high consumption of red meat or processed meat. Although these risks are small, they could be important for public health because many people worldwide eat meat and meat consumption is increasing in low- and middle-income countries. Although some health agencies already recommend limiting intake of meat, these recommendations are aimed mostly at reducing the risk of other diseases. With this in mind, it was important for IARC to provide authoritative scientific evidence on the cancer risks associated with eating red meat and processed meat. ]

These items however, do not magnify the significance of other items in the revelation, that are not generally stressed today; namely: CRITICAL POINT, that [Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation] . . . (Communists and Traitors; Mammon Lovers) -- [Mammon /ˈmæmən/ in the New Testament of the Bible is commonly thought to mean money, material wealth, or any entity that promises wealth, and is associated with the greedy pursuit of gain.] - Wikipedia. President Brigham Young stated: [I am more afraid of covetousness in our Elders than I am of the hordes of hell (DBY, 306).] [After Cain had been sentenced to be a wanderer (Hebrew ‘nad’) he settled in the Land of Wandering (‘Nod’). He moved “east of Eden” and away from all that would remind him of God. Cain can be compared to Judas Iscariot, who “went out from the presence of the Lord” into the night (Genesis 4:16 ; John 13:30). Like Cain, Judas was one of the serpent’s ‘seed’ (John 13:27 ; 1 John 3:12).]

And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving. Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
. . .
All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
. . .
All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground-- Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

WHAT IS THE PROMISE?  [I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.] Remember that Daniel in the Lion's Den was a kept Promise by The Lord God. [I think one of the stories that everyone is taught in all Christian churches is the story of Daniel and the Lions Den. It’s quite a miraculous story, that Daniel survives such an event. And that’s typically the lesson I remember learning from this story—that Daniel’s faith in God saves him from the lions.] And that included a healthy Word of Wisdom Diet; known today as the LDS Word of Wisdom.

WE CANNOT BACK DOWN. Else, we are all as naked and afraid as Adam and Eve were, while they were being cast out of the Garden of Eden. [Before Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden of Eden for having eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God provided them with clothing: "And the Lord God made garments of skin ('or with an 'ayin) for Adam and his wife and clothed them" (3:21).] Thus, God's Temple Garments were given after excommunication, to all of the posterity of Mankind (Adam and Eve), who were as yet unbaptized, and found unworthy to stand in the presence of God and His Only Begotten Son. Previously, they were innocent, as little children before age of eight (8) years of age,

Previously, Adam, with the co-equal priesthood help of Eve, named every living creature, and were co-jointly given future dominion over all things, by their own biological procreation, as they had been married by God in the Garden of Eden. Mother Eve was the first scribe and wrote, [as did Emma (Hale) Smith - Bidamon (July 10, 1804 – April 30, 1879), under the Seer Joseph Smith, Jr.], under the jurisdiction of her husband and Seer, Adam, in the First Book of Remembrance. Eve had great knowledge, being skillful in the Language of Adam; the Language of the Eternal Gods. Mother Eve was an exceedingly beautiful daughter of Zion, fair and white, who sang to her children, taught them to believe in Jesus Christ, and  physically labored daily with her husband, and was true and faithful to the end of her mortal life. The death of her son Abel pierced her heart, as with a sword, causing her infinite grief and sorrow.

ISAIAH SAW OUR DAY, when mankind again, as millennials, and Generation Z, regain again the given dominion, by God, over all living creatures in heaven above and on the earth, under the earth, and in all bodies of water, on a global scale. Isaiah said: The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

NEVERTHELESS, this too, will never come to pass, and normal health be restored upon the whole face of the earth, until God's farming children do provide:[wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.] REMEMBER: [All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;] DO THIS, and cancers and all physical, mental, and emotional diseases and illness will exceedingly diminish among all mankind, which does include linguistically, all womankind, and all children, babies, infants and the unborn, and the age of mankind will increase to the pre-Flood hundreds of years.

VISUALIZING THE HISTORY OF PANDEMICS
[As humans have spread across the world, so have infectious diseases. Even in this modern era, outbreaks are nearly constant, though not every outbreak reaches pandemic level as COVID-19 has. Today’s visualization outlines some of history’s most deadly pandemics, from the Antonine Plague to the current COVID-19 event. . . . The more civilized humans became – with larger cities, more exotic trade routes, and increased contact with different populations of people, animals, and ecosystems – the more likely pandemics would occur.]

RESEARCH NOTE: The Fiery Furnace and the Lions' Den (Daniel 3 and 6)
{"At Daniel's request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained at the royal court." (2:49) . . . He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it." (3:2-3) . . . Then the herald loudly proclaimed, 'This is what you are commanded to do, O peoples, nations and men of every language:  As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.  Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.' Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up." (3:4-7) . . . So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. The king's command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace." (3:19-23)}
