There were 18 adds in yesterdays paper for these kind of events and another 11 adds in todays paper . All these people could be potentially carriers of the Virus . Lets just say 40 people that come in contact with 2 other people that have no clue that they were at these kind of events that would make 80 additional carriers if those people come in contact with 2 more that would give an additional 160 …….do you get it ? please tell your friends not to attend those events and/or contact the paper not to print these adds until this situation is under control
please be safe
Thank you

Your hands can be full of the virus but as long as you do not put your hands on your face and touch your nose, mouth or eyes, you can not contract the virus from virus on your hands. This is why you MUST thoroughly wash your hands when you get back into your home. The virus goes down the drain and you are safe once again. Hand washing is key.
The second way to contract the virus is through droplets from an infected person coughing or sneezing which come in contact with your nose, mouth or eyes. The 6 foot social distancing will eliminate the possibility of contracting the virus in this mode of transmission.
Attending gatherings such as yard sales can not guarantee that you can keep 6 feet between you and the person next to you. I'm finding even walking the aisles of the grocery store can be a challenge in keeping 6 feet away from someone. There are folks out there who are not heeding the advice from our government and the infection control experts. You just never know when someone may sneeze in your direction and not cover their nose and mouth or start coughing and not cover their nose and mouth the proper way. It is a mine field out there!
