good video.
Some quick cliff notes:
How to keep from getting covid:
1) always know where your hands are - wash/purrell after touching any public surface
2) don't touch your face - wear a mask to help remind yourself not to touch your face in public (or at home) - you don't need an N95 mask
3) stay 3-6ft away from people when out - keep distance in lines.
4) reduce your social circle - do not have people coming to your house - most cases of spreading are within families. prolonged contact with someone is most common cases of transfer.

It let me relax a little about going to the store and just hanging around the house.
Assuming no COVID in the house, just washing your hands first thing on the way in your house and you're good.

What to do if you believe you have/get the disease:
1) if you develop a fever and otherwise fine - isolate yourself from your family in a separate room - with their own bathroom
2) have the sick person wear an N95 mask to help prevent spread - (wash hands prior to putting on mask).
3) if outside of room to eat etc.- clean surfaces - wash your hands prior to touching anything.
4) don't have other family members take your temperature/interact while sick
if you have a mild cold or feel like you're getting sick - take precautions and isolate. if feeling better after a couple of days with no fever etc. - rejoin your family.
if you live with high risk person - either you or them need to find another location to isolate

Where can we get masks?
He says it doesn't have to be a procedural mask. A bandana will work. Or any other makeshift mask to keep you from touching your face.
My wife found this video yesterday and it's a great source of legitimate, usable information from the front lines.
Crazy that it's a week old and I'm only just now seeing it given we've all been neck deep in info for the past month or so.

And certainly not an N95.
"touching your face"....pretty much every guy with facial hair needs to wear a mask then.5StarShield said:

What an Excellent video!
Sent this to all my employees and family
No one should wear an N95 all day, least of all someone who is sick. Otherwise no issues with that advice.
so a ski mask will work? I'm heading to my bank to make a deposit5StarShield said:

Yea. I think he meant it more in a "if you're sick but healthy enough to be home and have to be around your family" wear the N95 if you're going into the common area.
