I rang my old friend and my neighbor Sheila last year, for a WhatsApp video call, several days after we were invited to self-isolate. She is 76 years old, widow and lives alone. I thought I would be nice and see how she was. My heart goes to everyone who lives alone right now because it must be incredibly hard.

"I'm fine darling," she says. "I Alison here for his gin and usual tonic", and she swung the camera around what I could see his middle-aged neighbor, Alison, waving, glass by hand! "She is at the other end of the couch," Sheila said. "Do not worry, I will not catch anything."

I was beaten. Sheila is in the age group, which is high if it is infected. Alison has three teenage girls at home, who all have little friends. Who knows what was going on in their home in terms of isolation of oneself? One of them could have passed the virus in Alison-who may not know that she's. And there could be a virus on gin bottles.ten%People infected with COVID-19 get the virus of someone who does not know they are infected.

Do not risk your toothbrush becoming contaminated.

It clears forward for a second and give a bouquet of flowers that you enter a little uncertainty. It's very nice of her and ruthless not to take them. These are beautiful flowers. What can hurt what? In fact, you have just had a hand in touch with someone who does not live under your roof. That's all it takes to transmit an infection. You have just received a birthday day gift that you could pass without.

RX: In a study of people infected with common rhinovirus, the most common cause of a cold,65%have been shown to have the virus on their hands. 11 of 15 contacts by hand resulted in viral transmission. Tell your daughter that you can have a big birthday party when it's everywhere.

The public toilets are bad news. You do not know who has been there in front of you. It may be that someone wearing the virus sneezed and coughed, had a virus on all the hands, then passed it on the toilet seat or toilet roll. COVID-19 has also been isolated in urine and faeces and can be broadcast via thefecal-oralroad-although it is always uncertain.

Although the authorities have not made specific recommendations,virologistsReport the virus survives on plastic and paper for 3 days maximum. It can also survive on certain parts for 4 hours maximum. An interesting 2008 study inThe Journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiologyshowed that the flu virus, when it is transferred artificially to bank notes, could survive up to 3 days. If the virus was mixed with a respiratory mucus, it could survive another 17 days.

RX: Until we know the risks, it is better to stay safe and use paperless money.

Many people regularly throw their clothes at 40 degrees because it is more economical. On 14eFebruary 2020,The Journal of Clinical MedicinePosted on the first reports on Covid-19 of the city's experience of Wuhan, China. They stated that the virus can be killed by heating 132 degrees for 30 minutes.

RX: In terms of killing a virus, experts now advise that you should wash in hot water. Also wash more regularly and do not let the dirt stack on clothes.

Hang, what's wrong with that? Here is the thing-in this period of Covid-19, we must all ask what we do and if we could do it better. Experts recommend that you disinfect a surface - you have to rub hard, not just wipe up according toNBC News. The disinfectant must be in contact with a surface for four minutes. If it is a porous surface, the disinfectant must penetrate each pore, hence the need to rub.

RX: Soap and water will dislodge the virus and destroy it by disturbing its outdoor coating. However, to clean the surfaces, the best way to kill the virus is with bleach (sodium hypochlorite), ethanol or hydrogen peroxide.

And remember this: the virus survives for:

• 3 hours as aerosol
• 4 hours on copper
• 24 hours on cardboard
• 2-3 days on plastic or stainless steel.

There is little known about the effect of nail polish and nail extensions on the spread of any infecting organism, including Covid-19. More research is needed. However, the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (Nice) published2012 RecommendationsFor the prevention and control of infection for health workers. They work in clinical environments where infective organisms are more likely.

RX: They recommended short, clean and nail polish nails. They also recommend a naked under the technique of the elbow, more or jewelry or wristwatch, apart from a wedding ring. Any cutoff or abrasion must be covered by a watertight bandwidth. In many states, the government requires nail salons to close because they are considered "non-essential", and the police will apply.

Public transport is still running and sometimes you have no choice. However, traveling through public transport increases the risk of infection with colds and flu.

They discovered a sixth increased risk of consulting a general practitioner on respiratory tract disease in those who traveled by bus or tramway within five days before their appointment. All forms of public transit are associated with increased risk. The metro is a particular risk.

In advance of a publication scheduled for June 20, 2020, a letter in the journalEmerging infectious diseaseis of great interest. The authors studied COVID-19 transmission models in Wuhan. A COVID-19 case group has been identified, which had all visited a particular shopping center. From their surveys, the authors apply that the propagation of the virus may have been through hard surface transmission such as elevator buttons or toilet valves, although they can not detect the virus on these surfaces. .

RX: Look for the hand disinfectant in the lobby before entering the elevator. If it's cluttered, do not enter and wait for the next, or use the stairs. And press the button with your elbow.

We touch many car surfaces very frequently, including the steering wheel, speed stick, brake and seat belts. The virus can survive for several days on these surfaces. It also promotes a humid environment. There are high humidity levels inside many cars.

People sometimes choose their noses when they are bored - and many people are at home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, with not much to do! Choosing your nose is dangerous because there are always many bacteria and viruses under your nails. It can traumatize the mucosa of the nose, and this then facilitates the absorption of infecting organisms.

A visit to the hospital that you can not avoid just now if you are pregnant involves doing work. Women are invited, as usual, to stay at home as long as possible at the beginning of the work.

RX: The good news is that there is no evidence that if you become infected by Covid-19 during pregnancy, it will harm your baby. Vaginal delivery can be anticipated unless medical reasons change the decision. You will always be able to breastfeed.

As a doctor, I can say that it's not a big rumor. Authorities such as CDC and people who trust to review medical evidence and make rules to help us stay safe - Meet us that we have to wear masks to beat the virus.

In April, theCDC Issuing a recommendation that you should wear a mask when not at home, when you mix with people who do not live in your household or in situations where social distance is difficult. (This does not apply to children under 2 years old, nor to babies.)

All the scenarios above actually occur - through the globe - at the moment I tap this. Once, I saw a Facebook video, made by a policeman who is required to prevent people and ask why they came out, when they were informed of staying at home. He said that the most common reasons that people give are "boring", "I just do not want to be at home" and "because it's sunny." As a doctor, I'm incredulous. People will die because of their selfishness and stupidity.

The most important message is that coronavirus does not spread. They are people who spread coronavirus. If we want this pandemic to be over, we must all understand the reasons we have been invited to do - and do it.
