“For real what works is for you to stay 6 ft. away from me and me to stay 6 ft. away from you.”
I thought it was interesting when it was reported that a MIDDLE SCHOOL KID pulled that six-foot idea out of his ass. No scientist ever said that. So the whole country re-arranges their lives based on a child’s whim.
“At the start we were told three things: 1. Social distance. 2. Don’t touch your face. 3. Wash your hands.”
I think “don’t touch your face” (especially your mouth, nose, and eyes — ever), and “wash your hands” are the most important things with WuFlu, regular flu, common cold, etc.
A few years ago, after catching pneumonia at church, Hubby and I made a couple changes which sound weird, but we haven’t been sick since.
Hubby chewed his fingernails — fingers in his mouth. He stopped that.
For me, turning pages in the Bible involved licking my finger to quickly flip through the corners of the pages. I stopped that. (I’d never win a “Sword Drill” now, but that’s OK.)
We use hand sanitizer often, but not to an insane degree.
We haven’t been sick in years.
I agree 100% having had the same experience you two had. The only thing I added this year was to be extra vigilant about taking my daily Vitamin C and D.
