Armed with Sunflower Tea and Ginger Root, Haitian Mountain People Ready to
Treat COVID-19 Symptoms

Sandra Lemaire

   FURCY, HAITI - About an hour's drive from Haiti's capital,
   Port-au-Prince, residents of Furcy, a cool, lush, agricultural
   community high up in the mountains, say they are used to dealing with
   illnesses common to cooler climates. Their community is located more
   than 1,000 meters above sea level and average temperatures there during
   the month of April are around 20 degrees Celsius. Comparatively, in the
   capital, the average temperature is near 30 degrees Celsius.

   The residents say they are now using their herbal cold and flu remedies
   in their homemade plan to deal with the coronavirus. They had to come
   up with a plan of action they say, because the government has ignored
   them.
