Humor as a Coping Tool

Living in greater Los Angeles county all the stores that would carry gloves,masks,etc are all out of stock, so now having neighbors, friends using the sock idea.it is the next best thing to protect oneself from the elements of this cov19 virus.
I tried using a clean scarf to cover my nose and mouth. If anybody has a better idea to protect our face sure would love to know what else can be used. REMEMBER GOOD HYGIENE WASH YOUR HANDS.

I have read that a bandana is better than nothing.

You are correct hand washing can dry the skin, so it is vital hand lotion/cream is used after hand washing. Some soaps are more drying then others. At my home CARESS, AND DOVE SOAP are used., I would rather have a few minor skin cracks, then major lung problems, such as scar tissue that can happen after a major medical event.

I wish I hadn't throw out my expired coconut oil a few months ago. I can use it now on my hands! Cooking oil could work if you are running out of lotion. Put just a few drops on damp hands and it works just as well.

@mayofeb2020 My hands are so dry and hurt from washing I'll have to get St Ives,Dove Avenno there all good just preference

Whatever works with hand lotions/creams is good, as long as something is used after washing hands.sore hands are better then sore lungs.

I’ve often used the Mayo Clinic online info. I feel like I can trust the information and that the research used is usually current.

This is a really old corporate joke some of you may remember. Roles could be reversed (no offense meant to either sex!).

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the man, "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."

The man below responded, "You must be in management."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "But how did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow it's my fault!”
