I echo these thoughts and appreciate your kindness in sharing your experience. There are still those unwilling to make any sacrifices to reduce the spread. Perhaps your first-person account will make them think twice. |

My appreciation to the OP and hope he continues in good health.
If anyone would like to listen to or read an account of the first coronavirus case in New Jersey, it is here, and it is rivoting: How New Jersey’s First Coronavirus Patient Survived - The New York Times There is nothing political in this account.

I have started to wear a home made mask when I go to any store however, I'm not bothering to use gloves when I'm out of the house. I just wash my hands thoroughly as soon as I enter my home. I open the door handle with my elbow. While I'm in my home, I'm wearing gloves for the sole purpose to protect my skin from falling off my hands. I wash so often that my skin is suffering terribly. I wash my gloved hands so I can reuse the gloves as often as possible. I have found that it is impossible to purchase disposable vinyl powder free and latex free gloves. They are all going to the government and health care workers so I am trying very hard not to ruin the ones I have on hand. I have found that these vinyl gloves do not perform well in hot water. They get very sticky and are very vulnerable to getting holes in them. I also found that doing any food prep with a knife is not a good idea either. I have punctured a hole in one of them so will not longer do any cutting with them on. I do apply a heavy dose of hand cream every night but my hands are not responding like they usually do.

When I am in the store I take a couple of the plastic bags in the produce department and use them to pick up pick my produce, etc.
I continue to use them right up to the groceries in the car. Then turn them inside out and dispose. |

And it took 8 days after testing to get the results?

I realize that CNN is not the channel of choice for many reading this.
But, for now, may I suggest not cutting off your nose to spite your face. It might be worth going to the website and finding the video of Chris Cuomo talking about how he is fighting the virus. Chris Cuomo has been broadcasting from his basement where he is quarantined. Last night he talked about a phone call from a pulmonologist who gave some straight forward advice. In summary: No matter how exhausted you are, do not lie down for this virus. It wants your lungs. (Cuomo showed his lung x-ray. There was some infiltrate.) Stretch your torso with hands above your head. Take deep breaths and hold those breaths. (I think this is to try to expand the alveoli.) Doing these things will hurt like hell but could mean survival. (I think the pulmonologist said to control fever spikes with Tylenol, but I need to look at the video again to be sure.) I suggest that you find Cuomo’s short video and see this info for yourself, no matter how you feel about CNN. It is surreal to see Cuomo documenting his illness on television. But historical research librarians would call this info a primary source. |
