Washing hands - absolutely... little downside there. Limit contact, especially shaking hands - easy to do and little downside. But masks???? More and more I’m hearing and seeing this is a BAD idea that may actually make things worse as the person constantly touches or readjusts the mask thereby increasing the chance of transmission by touching their face rather than decreasing. I’d re-think masks by non medical people.
It’s going to be very interesting to look back at all of this 6 months and a year from now. That includes all of the telecommuting and distance learning. If it’s good enough to continue to earn credits or work from home now, why not into the future? One of many many discussions we will have I’m sure.
I also totally agree that the number of unknown and undiagnosed cases is already huge - which is why over time we will see the death rate is not nearly as high as first thought and reported.
This has already been an unprecedented response to a virus. Only time will tell if it’s made any difference.
