![]() We can stop transmission today. We don’t need to wait until we have a vaccine." C. del Rio, professor of Global Health at Emory University, referring to research on populations using masks and public-health measures including distancing and handwashing. The virus is still here! That has not changed. What are the main elements of a good plan? What can keep us safe? Wear a mask in public! When we are near other people the mask will keep us from inhaling any airborne droplets with the virus. It will also keep those who are infected even unknowingly from spreading it around. There is the impressive story from Springfield, Mo., where face coverings prevented an outbreak among at least 140 people exposed to two masked, but infected hair stylists. The other side of this coin is: stay far away from people who don’t wear a mask! Why? Because not only could they be infected and spread the virus, they clearly demonstrate for all to see that they foolishly take great risk for their own health and do not care about others. Keep your distance! The mask is not 100% effective. Therefore keeping at least 6 feet distance to other people helps minimize the possibility of a transmission. Keep 6 feet distance from strangers, but also from friends or family who don’t live with you when you meet them for hiking, dog walking or other activities. Stay away from large crowds or gatherings. A great alternative for protests is to do it in your car where you are safe. The Centers for Disease Control even recommend keeping your pets apart. Wash your hands and use sanitizer! Anything you touch in public could conceivably be contaminated with the virus. Therefore, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and use sanitizer for prevention. Soap actually is great for killing viruses, because soap molecules penetrate their outside membrane and they dissolve. Make sure the stores and restaurants you visit clean their services and their staff wear masks. More facts: Outdoors can be safer than inside. Take extra precaution when in an enclosed space. If at risk because of other illnesses, obesity or advanced age take more precautions. Some recommend having your groceries and necessities delivered to you rather than to buy them yourself.
