Stop Touching Your Face!

Want to improve your chance of staying healthy? Stop touching your face!
To understand why hand hygiene and face touching can make a meaningful difference during a pandemic, consider how a virus can spread. An infected person rides in an elevator, touching buttons both outside and inside the elevator or maybe sneezing during the ride. When that person leaves, microscopic droplets containing the virus stay behind. The next people who press the same buttons or touch a surface pick up the virus on their hands, then scratch their noses or rub their eyes.

“Eyes, nose, mouth — all those mucous membranes are the portal into the body for a virus like Covid-19 or SARS,” said Mary-Louise McLaws, professor of epidemiology, health care infection and infectious diseases control at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.


Fer crying out loud, I've been banging on about that for almost a year!

1. WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC!

2. USE HAND SANITIZER WHEN YOU GET BACK INTO YOUR VEHICLE (IF APPLICABLE)

3. WASH YOUR HANDS WITH WARM SOAPY WATER WHEN YOU GET HOME.

3(A). DON'T TOUCH YOUR EYEBALL IN PUBLIC.

How hard can these simplest of rules be to follow? America is doomed. Canada, move right on in as we all die from the stupid!

Number 1 is extremely dubious.
 
I looked at the numbers today and WOW. Soon we'll be talking about nonexistent virus.
Herd immunity ... doing its thing?

COVID starting to take out members of Congress...

GOP Rep. Ron Wright dies following Covid diagnosis
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/politics/ron-wright-congressman-dies/index.html

Republican Rep. Ron Wright of Texas has died, his congressional office announced in a statement Monday, saying that he had been admitted to the hospital after contracting Covid-19.

"Congressman Ron Wright passed away peacefully at the age of 67 on Feb. 7, 2021. His wife Susan was by his side and he is now in the presence of their Lord and Savior," the statement read. "For the previous two weeks, Ron and Susan had been admitted to Baylor Hospital in Dallas after contracting COVID-19."
Wright is the first sitting member of Congress to die after contracting Covid. In December, Congressman-elect Luke Letlow died after being diagnosed with the disease.

Wright's congressional office announced that he had tested positive for Covid-19 on January 21 with the congressman saying at the time in a statement, "I am experiencing minor symptoms, but overall, I feel okay and will continue working for the people of the 6th District from home this week."

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a statement Monday, "Our hearts are heavy with the news of Ron's passing. Judy and I send our heartfelt prayers to Susan and their children during this very difficult time."

"Ron Wright was a fighter who passionately served his constituents, Texas, and America," McCarthy said.
The statement from Wright's office on Monday noted that the congressman has also battled cancer.

"Over the past few years, Congressman Wright had kept a rigorous work schedule on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives and at home in Texas' Congressional District 6 while being treated for cancer," it said.

Wright had represented Texas's sixth congressional district since January 2019.
 
Number continue their further cratering. This is fantastic news and as expected as we have been in herd immunity now for nearly 2 months. Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed will keep us safe as we go forth.
