That CDC link should be widely publicised. I visited CDC HQ in Atlanta during the swine flu outbreak in 2009. They emphasised simple practical steps to reduce spread like their handwashing advice. They kept the outer doors to toilet facilities chocked open with a bin for used towels at the exit so that having washed your hands you didn't re-infect yourself by touching dirty door handles.
OK - how do you go shopping? You go to the SM and the virus may be anywhere. So you pick up potentially contaminated things. The virus is on your hands. When you get home, you wash your hands, but the bag handles and contents are still potentially infected. So what's first? Washing your hands when you get home or unpacking? If you unpack, then wash, then you potentially re-infect your hands. If you unpack, then wash, then your hands are clean, but the items in your cupboard are potentially infected anyway.
So should unpacking now be done 'over time'? IE shop->home->DON'T UNPACK (other than frozen/cold stuff - and isolate those) -> wash hands. -> UNPACK some hours later - next day? -> wash hands again after unpacking?
We can only do so much,but surely that is better than nothing. I think when you see people coughing and sneezing into their hands, then holding the trolley,you just have to gel up as many times as you can. As the SMs are running out of sanitiser now,I'm wondering if surgical spirit would be a substitute?
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
The stupidity of BBC reporters in wonderful one was waxing lyrical about footballers not shaking hands but instead knocking feet together or nodding politely to each other, no mention of the blindingly obvious threat of spitting on the grass and then someone else rolling in it, wonderful BBC reporting on the virus threat. Evan Davis on radio four spoke for a good 10 minutes about panic buying and even joking that the best way to prevent panic buying was not to talk about it, wonderful BBC.
At least the BBC are saying something about it, if they said nothing, people would say they were uninformed. On the whole the BBC coverage has been informative and accurate, which is more than can be said about some newspapers.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
