We Live In a World of Germs

Germs are everywhere. Hand sanitizers are helpful. Do you know what to do to protect yourself from the many germs that surround us? We have not eliminated germs, but there are things you can do to protect yourself.

Even though we are living in a pandemic it could be worse. Have hope that it will get better.

Personally I use clorox wipes to wipe surfaces down. I find it to be very effective. I also carry hand sanitizer with me at all times.

According to nytimes.com there may be a possibility that this coronavirus was predicted in 1981. They further add that the the novel "The Eyes of Darkeness," speaks about the Chinese city where COVID-19 originated and suggests it was the perfect military weapon to wipe out a city or country. It is said this novel was fictional, but the similarities as to what is happening today are so close.  

Although the United States is presently dealing with the Coronavirus the last pandemic disease that emerged in the United States was in 1911 according to En.Wikipedia.org., the Cholera occurred in New York City. They further add it was called the blue death because a person’s skin would turn blueish-gray because of extreme loss of fluids.

According to cnbc.com the Coronavirus is spread when someone with the virus coughs or exhales, there is a release of droplets of infected fluid that can land on nearby surfaces like desk, tablets, or telephones, thus causing possible infection with another person who may come in contact.

I am sure that the official below was not aware at the time that as she warned others to keep their hands away from their mouth, she was doing just the opposite as she turned the pages. It is possibly something she normally does when turning pages of paper.

What Can You Do?

1. Pray

Pray first of all. Do not wait until you think you might have a cold, flu, or virus. According to Huffington.com prayer and meditation can influence our state of mind, which then have an effect on our state of body, and over time can change the brain activity. I agree. I am a living witness to the number of times that I have prayed when I thought there was no way out and God made a way for me.  Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord they God, it is he that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

2. Wash hands

According to conehealthmedicalgroup.com you should wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds. That is something I remembered when my twin grandchildren were born. They were kept in the neon-natal unit. It was stressed to parents and grandparents to wash and lather hands at least 20 seconds before entering to see the babies.  Also, recently I watched Dr. Oz on the Jimmy Fallon Show. Dr. Oz. Gave a demonstration how he as a surgeon scrubs his hands before surgery. I learned a lot.

3. Cover the Cough

There has been much emphasis on television to cover that sneeze or cough with your elbow.

4. Stop Shaking Hands

There has been much emphasis to not shake hands, but rather do fist bumps. I have not only stopped shaking hands, but also stopped during fist bumps. My words can be just as effective. That touch is not always necessary.

5. Sanitize

Sanitize your surroundings. Although there are numerous school and business closings, when you find yourself at a table sanitize it. When in the doctors office use sanitizer. In fact bring your own with you. Carry sanitizer with you. I just recently went to the polls to vote. I used my own pen. When I am grocery shoppings if my signature is needed at checkout I use my own pen.

6. Do not touch eyes, hand, and mouth

This is easier said than done. So you need to be vigilant and be aware and in the moment of what you are doing. This is something that should not be taking for granted.

7. Stay Home

Finally, above all if you feel sick please stay home.
