Despite the international anxiety over contracting the coronavirus, doctors are urging people in the U.S. to focus more on the flu.
Obviously, washing our hands is another great way to prevent the spread of germs. Good old-fashioned soap and water remains the best way to achieve clean hands, but hand sanitizer is a close second in case you’re not near a sink. Interestingly,against GOJO, Purell’s parent company, for implying hand sanitizer can kill flu germs and even ebola. According to the FDA, claims like these suggest Purell is a drug rather than an over-the-counter consumer and healthcare antiseptic.
“Our hands are one of the main ways we can transmit a virus,” Brown says. As a reality check, begin to notice everything you touch in a day. “We shake other people’s hands, we touch surfaces, open doors.”— and it’s never a bad idea to re-familiarize ourselves with the technique, especially if you have little ones at home who tend to do a less thorough job than recommended.
In addition to inhaling airborne particles from a neighbor’s cough or sneeze, touching your hand to a contaminated surface and then to your eyes, nose or mouth is how the virus most often gets inside you. So please, cough into your elbows for the love of Beyoncé and be aware of contaminated surfaces — especially in public places this time of year.
The chances of getting the flu are very high — much higher than the coronavirus — if these precautions aren’t adhered to, and since we’re smack in the middle of the current flu season, we need to remain focused on preventing it.
