Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
More and more research is coming out saying surface-to-surface infections are more rare than we thought. That said, until it’s definitive, do what makes you feel less anxious. We don’t wipe things down anymore if they sit for a day. We just simply wash veggies with water when we’re ready to use them.
You probably don’t need to wipe down the car if you basically let it sit for 24 hours. I haven’t done that with my car and my wife who works in the hospital doesn’t do that with hers. We still do the clothes in hamper and immediately shower routine when she gets home from the hospital.
It’s most important to wash your hands well and wear a mask, multiple layers help. Thicker fabrics like denim or flannel are best. Quilting material is good as well. There was a paper in a respected journal that indicated particle filtration was as good as 90% (!!!) with homemade masks made well and properly fitted. I posted an article in the Covfefe thread (amazingly, that word now autocorrects even though I don’t know if I’ve ever typed it lol) that did the original research. Good stuff.
