Have y’all thought what to do if you have to self isolate someone in your homes? Is there a bedroom and bathroom that can be blocked off for them? If not, then what about the rest of the family?

Will you forgo comfort and turn off the heat/cooling so it doesn’t fly through the vents? What about around the door?

What to do about that person’s hygiene and laundry?

How will you pass them food? How will they dispose of their dirty dishes (hopefully, you have paper plates and such) and rotting food scraps?

You piqued my interest. Didn’t think it would be so easy to find. Lol.

There are a bunch of other findings too.

We’re working through that now. In our case, our basement is probably our best bet. Turn off A/C, cover vent and put space heater in. If it’s warm enough I’d set up a tent and bed outside in the sun.

Toilet is a problem. Maybe a composing toilet? 5 gallon bucket and kitty litter? What I’ve seen them do for food in China is leave the food outside and leave, then the person opens the door to get the food. My son‘s old remote control cars might come in handy.

I would fall back on my NBC training I received during my 22 years of military service.

I have enough room to place a camper away from the house with septic tank, power and water. Also internet access.

Drop food off at the fence line for infected family member. Set up a decontamination area (with real beach) if someone needs to take care of the sick.

Set up a burn pit to get rid of infected items like used gloves, mask and etc.

since a fart plume will carry it, you have to have a separate air supply ... good luck
