Ref.: (LML) Urgent: MDT during COVID-19 pandemic
From: Ben Naafs, MUnnekeburen, the Netherlands
Dear Pieter,
Yesterday, we saw Joël's cri de Coeur. Although, I am not an expert on Corona, I like to contribute and hope to make some common sense.
The advice to stay at home is easily given, however for many people difficult to follow. If you must go out to work, buy food or get medicine, then the following is very important. Do not go out when you cough and/or have a sore throat and fever. If possible, let others do what must be done.
But in case you are out, most important is stay at least 1,5 meters from other people. The common mouth caps only protect other people from you. Only special ones protect you from others. Thus the 1,5 meters is important.
When you come home first clean your phone with antiseptic. Then wash your hands with water and soap. Next, clean your face. And then in the old-fashioned way gargle with salt solution. This may be repeated later before going to bed. Clean water is adamant both for washing and gargling. Since soap is not good for your skin use vaseline without additives. For the face Nivea crème or similar is excellent. Treat your children in the same way.
Thereafter, if possible, change clothes and wash the used ones. If you haven't enough clothes stay in underpants until the washed clothes are dry again. If possible, change clothes before you wash or wash again after change.
During work wash your hands and face regularly and apply vaseline on your hands and crème on your face. Clean the materials you work with and on with alcohol or antiseptic. Use your common sense.
We stand for a serious outbreak.
Regards
Ben
