As the country has reopened and cases are on the rise in many states, President Trump and the CDC are recommending that everyone wear a mask when leaving their home.
But tying a scarf around your face or using a cheap surgical mask a) doesn't work as well b) is hot and uncomfortable.
In addition, most homemade masks have a pronounced "leakage" around the nose and under the mouth.
there are comfortable masks with 95% filtration.
Many things change every minute:
Statistics and predictions that keep us on our toes
An evolving science
Public health recommendations can be inconsistent
All we can do is do our best to take care of ourselves and others, so I try to share the helpful information I can from a trusted, science-based, natural health perspective.
One of the most confusing pieces of advice lately has to do with wearing masks.
It works? Should wearing masks be mandatory?
From my professional perspective, here's what you need to know about wearing a face mask today (and why the truth might surprise you).
Regular, thorough hand washing with warm water and soap remains the best basic measure
However, there is one important step that most Americans ignore that can go a long way toward keeping your body safe.
Is your hand washing technique prone to disease or worse?
5 MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PUBLIC
Stay at home in your "safe zone".
Avoid public transport. Walking, using a car.
Avoid enclosed spaces with air conditioning.
Avoid contact with people without masks.
Disinfect your hands after touching anything outside the safe zone.
Things you should be aware of:
Drops can spread up to 7 meters.
Do not touch the eyes.
The virus can persist on metals and plastics for several days. Disinfect your cell phone.
You can make your own disinfectant, 60%-70% alcohol.
Always wear a face mask outside (even a homemade one)
Disinfect or boil.
Protect your eyes with any glasses
Eye protection is as important as breathing protection.
