Take your own disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizers and such when you go. I posted earlier about getting a "stadium" clear plastic purse to put my stuffs in because it's easier to disinfect than cloth/leather purses with embellishments. I will probably not even bring it in the house and spray it down/wipe it down in the garage. I have no shame in my game.geminigirl wrote: ↑4 years agoI have to go to the hospital for physical therapy twice a week, I don't see them wiping down the equipment while I am there.

I say better to look weird and try to avoid the virus. For me, it wouldn't bother me as much as the person I freaked out.OtherSideOfTheTracks wrote: ↑4 years agoI think anything covering the face is better than nothing. I watched it last night too. To me it makes no sense and I'm skeptical. The SG asks the public NOT to buy the N95's because it doesn't work. Also, they are hot, hard to breath in, and you might have to adjust it (like construction workers...?). Okay, noted. If I have to adjust my N95 mask, I will use a a tissue and not my bare hands. Then the Surgeon General said the N95 masks shouldn't be purchased by the public because HEALTH CARE WORKERS need them. So, they are not good enough for the pubic, don't buy them, but they ARE good enough for healthcare workers. Which is it? If they are good enough for healthcare workers - they're good enough for ME. I"m not trying to be a jerk and I'm not buying them and hoarding them either. But I do have a mom that I have to take care of, and if I get it, she will get it, so I'm using N95's.Hollie wrote: ↑4 years agoThe Surgeon General was on Judge Jenine and went thru the 3 masks people are stocking up on.

I shouldn't have to remind u that early detection is the life saver because u know this. And they may find that it has NOT come back, and will relieve your mind. Please take care of yourself because if there is no you, you can't help anybody else.
For those concerned about cost of items: the surgical masks at RX were five and change. The Curad antiviral was ten and change. The N95 I am on waitlist is 2 pack, disposable, around 40.00. The pharmacist said the regular masks would prevent u from getting it from droplets where people have sneezed/coughed.
I was surprised to hear that!! What should we use? And another point is the eyes need to be covered by airtight goggles.
And what about our ears? Or a cut?
If I have to purchase a surgical mask because there's nothing else, I will try to purchase the water resistant type like surgeons use.
I have thought about getting a shield for the eyes, but I'm going to wear sunglasses and that's all I can do. Yep, I'll look like a freak. Maybe people will be too scared to be near me with this getup on.
@Hollie, Let's stay in touch as this unfolds - the power is the knowledge of many. I've thought about martial law being invoked too. If it gets bad, It's bound to happen. Gawd. I'm not leaving my house except for necessity. I pray this ends. Where, in general, are you located? You say not very many people are around? Sounds like paradise lol! I worry about you too!Hollie wrote: ↑4 years agoI say better to look weird and try to avoid the virus.

I wonder if bandanas would work? I'm just not going to leave my town. We are few here and we're all well stocked. We keep watching for martial law to be called out there......in civilization. I worry for my family back home. Heck, I'm worried about all of you guys out there.
You are most welcome! We need to exchange info as it helps all of us! Let us know how you're doing!
