so if you missed buying stock in the hand wash/sanitizer companies...the next tip is hand moisturizer....lots of dry hands out there from all that washing.
As an optician (and also having been in the food business for over 10 years in my twenties), I am always washing my hands because of my contact with people and their glasses. My hands are cracked as they usually are in the winter from all of the hand washing. With the threat of infection, I have consciously beefed up my use of moisturizer for my hands to heal the cracks which will allow infections another way to enter the body.
My lament based upon the experience of my current profession (now over 25 years) is that most people think that (or act like) hygiene is a type of denim clothing ...
If you are worried about this, don't. Worry can make you sick Do things that support your immune system Eat well (50% veggies, no processed foods or added sugar) Drink lots of water Get plenty of sleep, at least 8 hours plus 20-30 min naps when you can Exercise - sweat, clear the toxins from your system If you want, try some supplements -multivitamin, C, D, zinc Herbs can help - elderberry, green tea, garlic, ginger...lots of good trad chinese herbs have anti microbrial properties and have proven effective with past flu outbreaks.

Politicizing a virus. If you do not like Trump, why would you want to be like him? Why do people become what they despise?
I'm lost. What's this about?

When something adverse, bad, unthinkable, etc. occurs, a portion of society will look to place blame on someone or something: e.g.: "This couldn't have just "happened" - someone must be responsible for it." The "other" tribe is a convenient scapegoat. That behavior or impulse is probably as old as the human race. Of course, how leaders or authorities deal with the adversity once it's occurred is often another matter.
Yea I get the valid criticism for some things, but there are many who look for gotchas in unwinnable scenarios. For instance vacillating from authoritarian to non caring dependent on the action or inaction of the parties targets applied conveniently to each individual circumstance. Which right now we stand at fiddling while everything burns will be interesting when hard action will start to be employed to make up for lost time. I can already hear the cries of Facism when in reality there are no good answers outside of everyone acting responsible on an individual which we are not good at.
"Just watch your local news," said Santelli. "There's your catalyst."
"All I know is, I think about how the world would be if you tried to quarantine everybody because of the generic-type flu," Santelli continued. "Now, I'm not saying this is the generic-type fluâbut maybe we'd be just better off if we gave it to everybody."
"And then in a month, it would be over," Santelli continued, "because the mortality rate of this probably isn't going to be any different if we did it that way than the long-term picture, but the difference is we're wreaking havoc on global and domestic economies.
Just imagine the profits from (uncollected) pensions! Cull the herd!
I've watched Santelli...certainly not the first stupid comment from him, but probably the worst.

I work with the public putting my face within inches of others when taking measurements and touching their heads and handling their glasses which more often than not are filthy, if not disgusting. A large part of our customer base travels internationally for either work or fun. P is arriving home from SoCal Friday morning after spending time with her daughter whose cancer is out of control. More than likely the last time she will ever she her alive again. She changes planes at SFO which is not a good place to be right now.
As someone who belongs to the group with the highest chance of this thing being fatal (age, COPD and cancer of the immune system for openers), I have been thinking about it. P is not much better off than me with age and asthma. Can't ignore it. I hope it's quick and doesn't hurt very much should I get it.
That said, we grew up during the height of the Cold War when everyday was one hiccup away from Nuclear Annihilation. You still had to get up everyday and go to school and take care of business. This time is very little different from then in terms of having to go on with life regardless of any threats to being alive. I still have to work until I drop regardless of this or anything else that can take me out.
