Like firefighters and policeman putting themselves in harms way, just without the pay.
One of the biggest concerns that should be considered is that when the heater goes on and the air dries out the droplets are much lighter and stay in the air much longer. Nasal passages dry up making viruses more transferable.
If you have to go into a fire, wear the proper equipment. You can get n95 equivalent masks made in China online. I purchased some though it took a couple of months to receive. I save then for critical visits like the dr or dentist. I would consider going into a strangers house critical.
Any other time around people I wear a mask with replaceable filters (easy to breath through), nitrile gloves and will soon be adding eye protection. I don't enter the house with the same clothes on (remove that picture from your mind). Completely wipe the car down and everything else I bring home. We research and do what we can to build our immune systems.
My wife works inside an office. Everyone (even those who 'were so done with this') wear masks all day and don't complain about it. Desks, countertops, customer areas, and air are sterilized with alcohol or air spray routinely throughout the day. We routinely sterilize from 'our own germs' everything we touch in the house every day.
We don't allow friends or family into our house nor will we go into theirs. We have a 'covid plan' in case one of us gets sick. Don't want to be among the now 227,000 victims without a fight! |
