Doom and Bloom!TheCOVID-19 [FeminineDespite the deployment of vaccines and optimistic forecasts, it will last in 2022, we would do better to get used to healing each other. As a doctor, I practice mitigation measures, such asAs a doctor, I practice mitigation measures, because I hope you are - even if my husband is shielded as he has a lymphoma, so I have to be very careful. My decisions may be different from yours, but in principle we all want to stay safe and do not take more risks we need. So here are five places as me, as a doctor, would not go right now. Read it, and stay safe and stay safe during this pandemic, do not miss this essential list ofWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

I will not travel on vacation

Tempt as it may seem, take a holiday abroad right now is exhausted with potential problems. With great sadness, we canceled all the holidays we had planned for the whole year, back in March at the beginning of the UK rental, where I live. We were not tempted to reintegrate them. Here are some of my reasons.

  • First of all, there is no doubt that your risk of becoming infected by Covid-19 is the lowest if you stay at home.
  • TheCDCAdvises that at higher risk of the virus, including all seniors and those with chronic medical conditions, avoid non-essential air movements.
  • Currently, theUKadvises against all key trips in the United States and theUnited StatesAdvises against all equally essential trips in the United Kingdom! So, I guess you and I will not see myself soon.

I would not go in a bar or discotheque

One of the most risky things you can do right now is to visit a bar or disco. Many sites actually considered it difficult to put measures in place for customers to be safe, which must be applauded. But they vary enormously in the way they apply these measures.

For example, a recentepidemicCOVID-19 cases, involving 140 people from 12 different counties, was found at the visit of a particularly michigan bar. In Korea, a 29-year-old asymptomatic man visited five clubs at night and infected without knowing it246 people.

Going in a bar is the complete reverse of social distance! It means going inside, for what is likely to be a relatively long period of time and to be surrounded by many people who are not from your household.

I would not go in a gym

It is a complete paradox - we must all be fit, do a more physical exercise and lose weight, but the worst places to visit at the moment are gyms and interior sports centers. In the United States, some of them began to reopen in July, with strict social distancing and hygienemeasures in place; NeverthelessIt remains to be seen how risky a visit will be. When you go to a gym, you share all the equipment with other gym members. You may think that gymnastics machines are suitable for social distance, as they each occupy their own space. The problem is that as soon as you start using them, physical effort means breathing deeply and quickly. The hot and humid environment is also well suited to viral transmission.

I can not go to a ballroom night

I like the ballroom and the Latin dance, but I have not danced a step from the lock. Dance is a high-risk elapsed time to become infected with the virus. August 8, a letter was published in the newspaperEmerging Infectious Diseases, reporting a COVID-19 case cluster linked to a dance school in South Korea.

I can not go see the doctor, unless it's essential

Just like everyone else, I can not easily see or talk to a doctor right now. I could love, but the restrictions in place touch me in the same way as you. The medical profession has done what it can. When you arrive at a clinic or a hospital, any high-risk person for COVID-19 is separated upon arrival. So, if you participate with a non-Covid problem, you should be seen in a "clean area" or better again on a "clean site". Medical staff considering that CIVID-19 patients are kept away from patients who are not considered infected.

If I had a medical emergency, I would not hesitate to call an ambulance.

We just have to go through that somehow ... and there can be at least 18 months to go!
