40 Anti-Coronavirus DIY Solutions That Are Very Questionable

As we’re well into the crisis now, health experts are warning us to protect ourselves at all costs. But some people have taken the warning a little too literally. It turns out, there’s virtually nothing some of us wouldn’t do (or wear) in order to keep the virus at bay. As a result, DIY-at-home protective gear has now been spotted all around the aisle runways.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the coronapocalyptic look, which is both a fashion statement and a major faux pas. But the people sporting it couldn’t care less. Kitchen sponges, diving masks, and full-length tarpaulin suits—you name it, they wear it. Seemingly immune to strange looks, these shoppers are better safe than sorry. Except the safe part of the statement remains open to question.

Not to mention it won’t even filter fungi, let alone virus. I might soak it in alcohol for efficiency though:)

The guy with the sign: “If you can smell my fart..” is absolutely correct. This stuff is airborne like crazy. It has a Ro value of greater than 2.5. Just look at the data and spread. Look at the data curves of Germany and Iran. Do you really think the Iranians wash their hands with the frequency of the Germans? I bet a significant number of Iranians don’t even have running water. Look at the tigers in the zoo who have it. Do you think they walked around touching contaminated surfaces? Don’t get me wrong, hand washing is good. But, when it’s all said and done with, I bet we find out that airborne transmission is responsible for over 90 percent of the transmission of this virus. If you want to accuse the government of lying, this is what they lied to you about. The fact is, you should have started wearing a mask in public a month ago.

Hey you’re right.

And I had about 8.

And I never moved them away from my nose and mouth.

I feel lie I did the right thing now :)

The workers weren’t wearing anything. Odd, huh?

Did you hand them the money with the hand holding the napkins?

Never took my hand or napkins away from my face.

Thought ahead of time and had the 20 in my other hand.

Shoved the change in pocket and took bag with free hand.
