@beatitnow I see the questions about masks are answered. I will add: I IMPLORE EVERYONE to quit buying up the masks - the medical professionals need them desperately, from hospitals to clinics to ambulances to first responders and care facilities. My daughter's metropolitan hospital is rationing them to staff due to short supply.
As for the "air filter necklace" - I'm sorry to say these are really not an effective shield or treatment for anyone, ever. No matter what the ads or salesmen tell you. If they were so effective, every medical professional in the world would want and would wear one. They cannot possibly treat enough air around you to protect you - and anything you might touch, containing the virus or germ, would still be on your skin, and by extension, in your eyes or nose when you touch your face.
These are my new mantras:
Wash, wash, wash your hands.
Keep your hands off your face.
Clean frequently touched surfaces with bleach or disinfectant regularly.
Social distance.
If you are high risk (age, disease, immune compromised) stay out of crowds.
If you are not high risk, stay out of crowds to protect those of us who are.
Self-quarantine at any sign of illness or if you are exposed to the virus.
Don't panic, and don't spend too much time listening and reading about COVID-19 - just be prudent.
So, for the rest of you, what precautions are you taking to keep yourself healthy and safe? And what are you doing to occupy yourself constructively? (If I was back in MN, I would pull out 50 years worth of photos that need organizing! Down here in Texas, I am working to improve my watercolor skills and planning a new quilt for my grandson.)
