I'm sure you, like me, I really miss life "BC" - before Coronavirus!

All the things we have taken for the acquisition of appearance to shops, going to cinema, the theater or a concert. We are looking forward to Saturday night with friends, evenings, weddings and for me - it would dance. Now, this miserable virus has taken the fun of life.

It's about reducing risk. And that means staying away from others, avoid crowds and just breathe and exit in your own personal space. When you read you, you will see, it's not just about you - it's about becoming a potential vector of spreading other people. Surely none of us wants to do that.

Here is my list of places where you are most likely to catch Covid. As a doctor, and as a human being, I personally avoid all these places, as well as my family and friends. If you want to take the risk, think about what you can do to keep you as sure as possible. Read on to learn why and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Do you really need to eat or visit a bar or coffee?

  • TheCDCRecently published a study on which they compared 154 people who have been tested positive at Covid-19, at 160 controls, which had similar symptoms but have been tested negative.
  • Those who were positive about Covid were twice as likely to have eaten in restaurants within 14 days before their positive test result, than those who tested negative.
  • 42% of those who have been positive tested were in contact with a positive person for COVID-19 within 14 days of their own test, against 14% of those who tested negative.
  • In the positive group of Covid, when the authors excluded those who had a known positive Covid contact, the rest was almost three times more likely to have visited a restaurant and almost four times more likely to have visited a bar or coffee , within 14 days before taking the test.

What does this study tell us?

If you are in contact with anyone who has been positive for Covid-19, stay home for 14 days. Places where it is difficult to distance socially, or where you have to delete your mask, breathe the air circulated or sharing the toilet facilities, are with strong transmission holding. If you want to take the risk, stay outdoors, keep your distances and check that restaurant staff will wear masks.

How much do you need this journey on a Russian?

It may be tempting to plan a day to have fun, but in an amusement park, you and your family are close to the big crowds of people who are not your own housekeeping.

TheCDCEvides advice to park operators and if all infection control measures are in place, they are considered moderate risk. In the parks where these measures are absent, the risk is high or very high.

Large thematic parks such as Disneyland have put in place strict hygiene procedures and have had no reported infection epidemic. Reassuring, yes indeed, but that does not mean that it has not happened - it just means that it has not been proven or reported.

The risk can be higher if you visit smaller amusement parks, funftsiaries or carnivals. The problems concern the difficulty of maintaining social distancing, which had to stand in a queue, the mask wearing may not always be applied, it can be difficult to access a hand washing regularly, you will need to share The toilet and, of course, you must touch and hold on different parts of machines / equipment.

How much do you really need to attend this football game?

Sports events remain at high risk of CVIV-19 transmission.

Recently, 28 people have been positive for Covid-19 after attending afootball matchout of 30eAugust at Burnside Football Club, Houghton, United Kingdom. After that, 83 additional people also tested positive. The club apologized abundantly and admitted that the precaution put in place was not strict enough.

In the United Kingdom, reading the university recently published a study undertaken by sports economists. The authors reported that in the six weeks preceding the suspension of sports matches in March 2020, participation in football matches played by football teams in the 8 largest divisions, has resulted in a higher number of Civid infections. 19, in the geographical areas where the Gamed were played. It was despite the fact that many stages were half empty because people were already concerned about the virus.

They suggested attending sporting events are at high risk of transmission as people need to queue, mingle at the bar and fast food, share public toilets. In addition, people often walk long distances to attend these games, often on public transport.

It is surely safer to stay at home and watch the game on TV!

An epidemic of 76 cases of Covid-19 was traced attendance at a marriage in Jordan.

The alleged index was the 58-year-old bride's father who had arrived 4 days before Spain's marriage, where the infection rates were high. He had started having symptoms - fever, coughing and nose flowing two days before the wedding. The wedding lasted two hours and attended around 360 people in an indoor place. For 4 weeks after the wedding, 86 people, who had been to marriage or were close contact, had been tested positive. 76 (89.6%) of them had been married. One of them was pregnant but had a healthy delivery and the baby tested negative. One was an 80-year-old cancer with deceased breast cancer.

In Jordan, physical contact in marriages is traditional, with lots of embracing, hug and hand hold - everything makes the spread of the virus facilitating. The party of the bride, including parents, usually a line and greet each guest individually. Much of the event is face to face and often involves narrow physical contact during celebrations, such as dance.

Do you really need to put your relative or friend at risk?

A recent study inThe lancetReported the findings of a six-party investigation in the United Kingdom, which reported CVIV-19 epidemics in April 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic. These care homes had already reported a large number of deaths, for example, there had been 29 dead in one of these care homes before the start of the study.

Residents and staff were tested and followed for 14 days. Overall, 39.8% of residents and 20.9% of staff were positive for COVID-19. Three-quarters of them were asymptomatic at the time of testing and half remained asymptomatic for the rest of the study period. The study emphasized the fact that a large number of asymptomatic employees and residents act as infection tanks. The authors emphasized the need for residents and staff to test regularly, with strict infection control measures for all visitors.

TheCDChas published recommendations for care homes. If you plan to visit a care home, take care of:

  • Only attend yourself if you really need. Video calls are a good alternative.
  • Do not have assisted if you have symptoms or if you have been in contact with the virus in the last 14 days.
  • Registration at the front desk, so you can have your measured temperature and answer the relevant questions.
  • Wash your hands before visiting, regularly use a hand disinfectant, keep your dissipation and wear a mask at any time.

Work from home Avoid the office

Do you really need to go to the office or can you work at home?

Sixty-five clusters of COVID-19 office offices have been reported in 10 EU countries (ECDC 2020) The different offices included banks, government offices, corporate offices and call centers. The number of cases ranged from 2 to 23 years old. Among these reports, a total of 410 people were infected with 4 deaths and a link was noted to a new Community transmission.

One of CIVID-19's main risk factors shared the same space and the same participation in meetings.

Being in a confined space facilitates the transmission of infection via inhaled respiratory droplets and aerosol transmission. It can be difficult to separate 6 feet into a shared space. You must also share the coffee room, canteen, toilets and lockers.

There is also the need to travel to work, often by public transport.

Office workers may be afraid to admit that they have symptoms because they may not might not afford to cope or risk losing their jobs.

Infections propagate very quickly in the office environment. In2014Study, the investigators introduced a harmless virus to an office, inoculating it on a handle of handle and a table. In 2 to 4 hours, the virus has been detected over 40 to 60% of office workers and on the most common sites such as the coffee pot, door handles, light switches, phones and computers !

Do you really need to go to the office or can you work as efficiently at home?

TheCDChas published in-depth guidelines for employers and employees to minimize the risk of CVIV-19 at work.

Final thoughts of the doctor

Our batting average ranked from last month but that's the reality
Refuge

Now that winter arrives, this has a complete list of new challenges. Since the virus spreads inside, you will want to find a way to stay safe. I think - a hot coat, a woolly hat, gloves and a patio heater. It's time for hot soup in the garden and stronger country walks to stay warm. We must use daylight and change our routine - we walk in the evening when it is the coolest.

Think positively. It will not last forever. Following the advice of infection control, it is preferable that we can accelerate the virus on its way. If we do not follow the advice, he will continue to stay angry with control.

I had an influenza vaccine this week and a pneumococcal vaccination. I tap with cold hands because we have not put the central heating yet. My hopes are fixed on the vaccine.

For now, these are my best advice, stay at home, stay warm and stay protected.

Let's go back to life as it was BC!
