    Trying to catch up on today, but having a bit of a Satori moment on the whole now wash your hands thing. So is the assumption that direct person to person transmission is via airborne droplets is going to be the lesser route to infection, and that since those droplets have got to land somewhere, you'll end up with a layer of Covid 19 covering everything that you're bound to end up touching, and in effect self-infecting within your own home

    Why am I in this handcart and where are we going ?

    Any time you plan to touch anything, They mostly just save your skin from constant washing and drying out, and keeps under the nails clean.

    You need to learn how to take them off properly though. Like hadeashing, it’s something that generally only medics are taught!

    I don't see how this is practical. If you can tell me in story form, how this would work in everyday life, fine, but I can't figure it out🧐

    I posted this on another thread but someone here may be able to help.

     I am the only carer for my DH who (Obviously) lives with me, we are fairly stocked up on food and household stuff but his tables run out next week so I have to go out to get them.  My question is what happens if I am ill? I have looked online but can find no answers he has COPD Angina and mobility problems.  I only go out if it's necessary but am so scared of bringing the infection home on my clothes say that I am getting paranoid about it.  The last thing I want to do is to give him any infection, it's very worrying.

    It;s my Birthday today but I've put that on hold as I am so worried about him.
