๐ฉ๐ฆฐI am NOT trying to stoke fear and panic concerning the possible spread of the corona virus to Oregon, but a person in northern California has now tested positive ๐ฏ for the infection.
I have been advised that people should purchase ๐ท♀️personal protection items NOW, before they are hard to get. As I have heard from multiple health authorities, having effective face masks ๐ท on hand is a good idea, especially if you travel or may have health issues already. These are NOT just the type that tie on and are too loose to adequately cover your nose and mouth. Ask your pharmacist for their suggestion.
I have heard๐ญ from a healthcare employee ๐ฅผthat some medical businesses, like dental clinics, are having trouble getting reserves of masks like these already.
It has also been recommended to carry and use the most effective hand๐ค sanitizer products, although PROPER HANDWASHING IS BEST๐ฅ. When you go out, wash your hands well and often๐ฆ! Don't wait until get home.
Practice good prevention habits such as, don't shake hands๐ค with people, and don't touch your eyes ๐and nose๐with bare hands out in public, which will also decrease the chances๐ฐ of contracting other viruses, like influenza, which is already here-- and is a greater risk๐คข than corona virus.
Carry tissues with you๐ in case you have an itch anywhere on your face, AND to cover your sneeze or cough๐ฃ. Remember that people can be contagious๐คฎ with the corona virus WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS, so protect the people around you⛑.
๐ฉ๐ซEducate yourself by getting more, and surely better, information than mine here๐จ๐ซ.
๐ฉ⚕️ Get facts from health officials who are NOT being restrained ๐ from sharing complete and thorough corona virus updates๐จ๐ฌ.
๐ฉ๐ปBeing accurately informed and prepared is the best way to defeat ๐คผ♀️panic and fear, as well as the only way to fight๐ฆธ♀️ this new health threat that is likely here to stay.
Expect ridiculous conspiracy stories ๐ง♂️ to circulate and use your common sense ๐ง if you hear them!!!
If others have more, or better advice, please chime in๐♂️๐♀️!!!
