YOU CAN WITH SOUND ADVICE ON % HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH AND %
FINANCES. %
FINANCES. % WE HAVE A TEAM OF MEDICAL %
EXPERTS.
EXPERTS. WERE GOING TO START OFF WITH %
SOME QUESTIONS HERE. %
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON %
QUESTIONS IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
AVOID CORONAVIRUS. %
>> WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS %
VIRUS IS THAT THE PREDOMINANT %
WAY IT IS SPREADING IT THROUGH %
RESPIRATORY DROPLETS. %
THAT MEANS WHEN AN INFECTED %
PERSON COUGHS, SNEEZES OR %
BREEZE HEAVILY, THE VIRUS %
ATTACHES AND TRAVELED THREE TO %
SIX FEET AND THAT IS WHERE YOU %
CAN INFECT SOMEONE ELSE AFFECT %
THE OTHER PERSON WERE TO INHALE
THAT OR SOMEHOW GET IT ON THEM %
OR IN THEIR NOSE OR EYES. %
LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW %
LONG IT CAN LAST ON SURFACES %
AND WHAT ABOUT THAT MODE OF %
TRANSMISSION. %
TRANSMISSION. % THE PREDOMINANT MODE IS THROUGH
RESPIRATORY DROPLETS. %
THERE WERE CASES OF %
TRANSMISSION WHEN YOU TOUCH %
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO %
HARBOR THE VIRUS. %
>> WE SAW ON THE GRAPHIC WHY %
SIX FEET? %
>> WE THINK AT THE MOMENT AND %
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT %
DISTINCTION BETWEEN A VIRUS %
THAT TRAVELS ON A HEAVIER
RESPIRATORY DROPLET IF IT DOES %
NOT HIT ANYTHING AT SIX FEET OR
BY SIX FEET, EXPERTS THINK IT %
WILL DROP AND HIT THE FLOOR. %
UNLIKE MEASLES SECOND HANGOUT %
IN THE AIR AND SURVIVE FOR EVEN
TWO HOURS.
TWO HOURS. SO THAT TERM AIRBORNE WHICH IS %
A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING BUT TO %
BE AIRBORNE IT NEEDS TO BE ABLE
TO BE SUSPENDED IN THE AIR FOR %
A PERIOD OF TIME SO THE %
INFECTED PERSON COULD WALK OUT %
OF THE ROOM BUT THEIR GERMS ARE
STILL HANGING AROUND AND CAN %
AFFECT PEOPLE THAT WALK IN AN %
HOUR LATER. %
>> AND THAT’S WHY SIX FEET IS %
SUCH AN IMPORTANT MEASUREMENT. %
>> YOU DO A LOT WITH CHILDREN %
AND THAT IS YOUR SPECIALTY. %
YOU HAVE SOME YOUNG AND VERY %
STRESSED PATIENTS WERE READ %
ABOUT CORONAVIRUS. %
WHAT DO YOU TELL THEIR PARENTS?
>> WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF KIDS %
COME IN THAT ARE NERVOUS AND %
ANXIOUS BECAUSE WHAT THEY’RE %
HEARING AT SCHOOL AND HOME. %
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF %
PEDIATRICS HAS A WONDERFUL %
WEBSITE CALLED HELPING %
CHILDREN.ORG. %
CHILDREN.ORG. % I WOULD RECOMMEND ALL PARENTS %
GO THERE AND THERE ARE SOME %
TALKING POINTS ON THERE FOR THE
KIDS THAT WE RECOMMEND. %
THE BIGGEST THING IS THE %
INSTANCES WHERE WE NEED TO LET %
THE CHILDREN KNOW WHAT IS %
HAPPENING. %
HAPPENING. % NOT IN EXTREME DETAIL.
AND ALSO HELP THEM HAVE CONTROL
OVER WHAT IS GOING ON. %
>> THE KIDS ARE COMING IN VERY %
ANXIOUS. %
ANXIOUS. % I WOULD RECOMMEND TO BE %
REASSURING TO THE KIDS AND LET %
THEM KNOW THAT THE DOCTORS AND
THE RESEARCHERS ARE DOING AS %
MUCH AS THEY CAN TO HELP US. %
AND SECOND OF ALL, LET THE KIDS
BE IN CONTROL. %
TEACH THEM HOW TO WASH THEIR %
HANDS AND HAD A COUGH OR %
SNEEZE. %
SNEEZE. % PART OF THE SAYS, THEY PULLED %
HER ARM UP LIKE THIS AND %
COUGHING INTO MY ELBOW. %
THE DROPLETS GO OVER, BELOW, %
AND WE NEED TO TEACH THEM TO %
EITHER PUT THE ELBOW ALL THE %
WAY UP AGAINST THE MOUTH OR %
INTO THE SLEEVE OR MY BEST %
SUGGESTION IS TO PULL YOUR %
SHIRT AND GO INTO YOUR SHIRT %
AND THAT COVERS YOUR NOSE IN %
YOUR MOUTH AND ISSUES GOING UP %
AGAINST YOUR SKIN. %
LET’S TEACH THEM TO WASH IT %
REALLY REALLY WELL. %
AND ALSO GET ENOUGH SLEEP. WHEN
THE KIDS ARE ANXIOUS, YOU WILL %
NOTICE THAT THEY MIGHT BE EXTRA
CLINGY, CRANKY, THEY MAY NOT BE
SLEEPING WELL, OR THEY MAY BE A
LITTLE BIT MORE DISTRACTIBLE. %
THE BIGGEST THING I’M TELLING %
EVERYONE IS TO STICK TO YOUR %
ROUTINE. %
ROUTINE. % WE ARE LIVING OUR LIVES AND LET
STICK TO OUR ROUTINES AND %
PROVIDE REASSURANCE. %
AND THEN MONITOR THE MEDIA. %
WATCH WITH THE KIDS ARE %
WATCHING ON TELEVISION. %
IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT’S %
FRIGHTENING, DON’T LET THEM %
WATCH THAT. %
THE OLDER KIDS OF THEIR %
WATCHING THE NEWS GO OVER %
WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE NEWS AND
TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY’VE HEARD %
SO IF THERE’S ANY %
MISINFORMATION OR RUMORS, WE %
CAN FIX THAT. %
>> SO DON’T IGNORE THE %
INFORMATION. %
INFORMATION. % MAKE SURE THEY GET IT FROM YOU.
AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS %
THAT WE HEAR, AND YOU AND I %
HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS, MASKS
AND GLOVES. %
WHY IS A RECOMMENDATION NOT TO %
WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC? %
>> THE FIRST PART OF THAT %
ANSWER OR THE TWO DIFFERENT %
MASKS THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING %
ABOUT. %
ABOUT. % ONE IS A SURGICAL MASK AND ONE
IS AND AND 95. %
SURGICAL MASKS CAN BE PUT ON %
AND ARE EASIER TO PURCHASE. %
THOSE ARE REALLY ONLY %
RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE %
SYMPTOMATIC TO ACT AS A %
BARRIER. %
BARRIER. % WHEN THEY ARE COUGHING OR %
SNEEZING THERE WAS SOME SORT OF
FORTRESS AGAINST THOSE DROPLETS
LEAVING THAT PERSON. %
IF YOU WERE TRYING TO PROTECT %
YOURSELF FROM BECOMING %
INFECTED, WEARING A SURGICAL %
MASK WILL NOT DO THAT. %
VIRAL PARTICLES WILL GET
THROUGH THAT.
THROUGH THAT. THE PARTICULAR RESPIRATORS ARE %
INDICATED FOR HEALTHCARE %
WORKERS AND THEY ARE NOT USED %
IN ISOLATION. %
THEY ARE USED IN COMBINATION %
WITH ICE SHIELDS, GLOVES, AND %
GOWNS. %
GOWNS. % THEY HAVE TO BE SPECIALLY %
FITTED. %
FITTED. % WE ARE STRONGLY URGING PEOPLE, %
REGULAR FOLKS NOT TO WEAR RED. %
>> WE HAVE ALL BEEN TRAINED
WITH AND 95. %
YOU DON’T USE THEM ALL DAY %
LONG. %
LONG. % YOU SWITCH THEM OUT. %
>> YOU TO. %
I KNOW THAT MY HOSPITAL HAS %
DIFFERENT PROTOCOLS FOR REUSING
AND HOW TO DO THAT IN THE EVENT
THERE IS A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF
THEM. %
THEM. % WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE, IT GIVES
YOU, YOU CAN STILL INFECT
HERSELF. %
HERSELF. % >> IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE OUT %
AND ABOUT WEARING DISPOSABLE %
GLOVES, DISPOSE OF THEM %
REGULARLY. %
REGULARLY. % >> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK
THAT IT GIVES HIM A PROTECTION.
DR. PATEL, ONE OF THE THINGS WE
TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME IS TO %
BE PREPARED BUT DON’T PANIC. %
>> WHAT IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE %
IT’S GOING TO THE MARKET AND %
PURCHASING EVERYTHING. %
PLEASE DON’T DO THAT. %
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE %
BUYING WATER. %
>> TOILET TISSUE, PURELL, %
EVERYTHING. %
EVERYTHING. % PLEASE DON’T PANIC.
A TWO WEEK SUPPLY JUST IN CASE %
IF THERE IS ANY ISSUES SO THAT %
YOU HAVE ENOUGH FOR THAT. %
AND DON’T MAKE HOMEMADE PURELL.
>> THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF %
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. %
>> ANYTHING OUT ON THE INTERNET
IS NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING %
SAFE TO USE. %
