Tips to Survive the Lock Down

I know that the Corona Pandemic came out of nowhere. It hit us when were not ready and put a lot of us in a turmoil. I would like to take some time to explained why following the lock down is important to make it out of this health and some health practices to keep yourselves and your family safe. 

The Corona virus is a similar virus to the flu, just a version we have never seen before. This new virus is said to present common flu symptoms on the 14th day mark, after infection. These symptoms include: Sore throat, joint pains, sneezing, and a fever over a 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary form of transmission for the virus is through air droplets formed when an infected person sneezes. Another form of transmission is through touching of the extremities of the upper limbs and having contact the oral area without proper sanitation.  

The Lockdown is a form of protective measure taken by tout government to minimize social interactions and prevent the spread of the disease. As previously explained the corona virus symptoms only show after being infected for 14^th days, however within those fourteen days the virus can still spread from person to person. This ability of the virus makes it really dangerous because you can spread the virus to everyone in your social circle and not even know you are infected.

Some ways to prevent getting infected:

·       To use face masks when you are going outside to prevent breathing air droplets.

·       Use disposable latex gloves when touch foreign bodies, like shopping cart, door handles, etc.

·       Use hand Sanitizer after every trip outside to wipe your hands, goods purchased outside and other personal belongings like cells phones and wallets.

I understand that this can be a really stressful time for most people. We have never been through anything like this and have never been prepared for anything like this. No matter what happens it is important to remember that you are never alone. All of us are together in this, we should all support each other. Some way to achieve this is to share out resources like Paper napkins, Toilet paper and Hand sanitizers. We can only make it out of this together, if all of us are protected it will harder for the virus to spread and the quicker this nightmare will be over. I will continue to use my blog as a platform to inform other useful information to support everyone in keep us safe. I know we can get through this safely.

Good luck!
