Coronavirus (non political)

[SunnySide]

Shoes - I read an article where a study found that a lot of people have Coronavirus on the sole of their shoes. Makes sense, heavier particles drop to the floor where they can live for up to 3 days.

I’m now taking my shoes off at the front door and then spraying them with Lysol or 409.

Open windows - open your windows and get as much sun in your house

Have they settled on a list of rules to live by yet, or are they still all over the place?

Hey bob. “They” being the local or federal government? 2 months ago I thought it was silly to wear masks and was waiting for “they” to tell us what precautions to take. So I held off on a mask. Then they say masks are very helpful and it can be caused by just breathing near someone else.

Now I wear a mask and gloves to grocery stores. Now I have a system where (or were?) I take things I buy and disinfect all surfaces before I put it away. I take off my shoes at the front door and disinfect the soles. I try to keep my windows open. I avoid walking down the same aisle if someone is there. I wash my hands 25 times a day. I don’t let my dog sniff the trash/food on the streets when I walk her. I’m not meeting in person with clients. I stagger the days I work so that I am in there when as little co-workers are there.

These are just my rules. I live in a very condensed area.

I’m responsible for my own familiy’s safety and plan of attack.

I’m lucky, I still make good money, working at the same place for almost 15 years I can afford to work when I want to.

Others aren’t so fortunate to have resources at their disposal. My kids school up the street has a huge never ending line of families getting their free lunch. If you’re in a rural area, you’re fortunate but I would still be very meticulous when I go outside.

Stay safe, stay smart.

Along with the recommendations for masks and or gloves are they telling people how to properly use them? In just a matter of minutes I saw a girl repeatedly stick her fingers up inside her mask while leaning on the counter at the mini-mart. Then I walk outside and I see a guy finish pumping gas with gloves. He uses one gloved hand to remove one glove, then uses the bare hand to remove the other glove, then scratches his nose. It is damn hard not to touch your face. I have to be real conscience of not doing it till I wash my hands after touching something that might not be sanitary.
