One item that has alluded the spotlight in the #coronavirus #epidemic is good old dirty $oldi.

Can even imagine how may times a paper bill changes hands?? Got to be one of the #biggest #contributes to illnesses that goes totally unnoticed. It is probably one item that is nearly impossible not to touch while trying to avoid contracting the illness.

Will we be forced to wash our bill to keep them clean??

The possibilities of ways of contacting the disease are off the charts.

Possible ways to help prevent getting the virus: Wash your hands frequently – keep them away from your eyes, mouth and face.

For the #habitual #nail-biters; now is a good time to break the nasty habit, before it puts you in a pine box.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
  • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to  others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

How about the #thieving-bastard that was selling a bottle of Purell for 250.00$, which normally costs 4.50$. When times are rough, the #scumbags come out of the woodwork.
