So many of us are confused about this. If im not feeling well, the sinuses, the flu or the coronavirus, whats my next step and when do i call a doctor . The first thing im going to say is everybody, anybody, if youre not feeling sick, not feeling well, call your health care professional. Every clinic, hospital, weve created protocols. The main thing we want to understand is the triaging. We dont want other people to also get infected. Call your health care professionals. Theyll give you the advice on the next step. They decide whether to give you a test and move forward with that. They make the decision . Right. Obviously so much concern now that you can feel people panicking a little bit. At costco, there was no Hand Sanitizer, no wipes anyw you can see people starting to hoard that and the issue of the masks. How much protection to those things offer . The cdc is recommending that a mask is not going to help them. Its not going to protect them. If somebody is sick, they should be wearing the mask. If theyre sneezing, coughing or anybody with any flulike symptoms, if they wear the mask, that will protect the other people also. If theyre in isolation, isolate yourself in the home. Not the healthy person. I want to emphasize that the Health Care Workers, thats very, very important for the Health Care Workers to wear the mask if they are seeing a patient suffering with those symptoms. We talk about the basic things. Is it as easy as washing our hands or is that a lower level way. Its similar to the flu virus, it does cause a respiratory illness. Youre right, we have to follow all precautions that we do for the flu. Using the tissues and throwing them in the trash and washing the hands. The recommendation is washing the hands for at least 20 minutes. We should be teaching our kids, not just go in and washing and scrubbing aur hands, within the nails and the fingers. 20 seconds or two minutes. For 20 seconds at least. If its more, its better. Also using the sanitizer at least 60 of the alcohol can also help. Okay. So no sanitizer anywhere as i mentioned before. I was at four stores today and costco. No sanitizer. I bought cans of lysol. Does that offer me protection and if i lysol everything, how often should i do that . The cdc does recommend the regular wipes, lysol wipes is fine. Thats mainly for the surface. If somebody is sneezing, the arrow owe the droplets can travel up to six feet. That can stay on the surface and cause infection. Yes, wiping the surface is very, very important. If theres no sanitizer, washing hands the oldfashioned way is the best way to do it. Thank you for your time. We know youre extremely busy during this period. Thank you very much.
