Wear N95 masks (80 % more effective then nothing), protective eye wear (sealed around eyes) and gloves (doctor examination gloves). When you get back to the car, throw mask, gloves and eye wear into trash. Spray 5 % bleach on hands. Rub hands together thoroughly. Rinse with water and soap. Then get into your car and drive away. Keep your shoes in the garage.
Thanks for the advice. Besides the shoes, I think I’ll add leaving my coat in the garage.
If people show up at a rally wearing goggles and masks, Pres Trump will think he’s in China! (bad joke)
Today I have a cold and am paranoid about it although there is no reason to be.
“Wear N95 masks (80 % more effective then nothing)”
I agree. Professional protection level? No, hardly, because of fit problems and contamination occuring during/after removal.
An improved situation over no mask whatsoever? Hell yes!
No totally unconstrained path directly into the lungs for one thing.
This virus targets the lower respirator system — not the upper like a cold. The virions are pulled down via inhalation. Anything you can do to interfere with that, even imperfectly, is going to increase your chances of survival. The fewer the particles that make it into the lungs the better. A minimum number of particles is needed for infection. Keep the count as low as you can!
And look up NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) to keep those lungs working!
