DR.RICK, MY COLLEAGUE WHO IS
WORKING FROM HOME SHOWED ME A
VIDEO OF A MOM IN ARKANSAS
DRESSED HEAD TO TOW 0 IN
GARBAGE BAGS BUT HAD CUT A HOLE
IN HER FACE AREA SO SHE COULD
TALK AND THEN NEXT TO HER WAS A
MOM DROPPING HER SON OFF AT
SCHOOL AND COMPLETELY SPRAYING
HIM HEAD TO TOE WITH LYSOL.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON BOTH.
>> OH, GOSH.
NEITHER ONE OF THOSE ARE A GOOD
IDEA.
THE WHOLE POINT OF PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT FOR ANYONE IS TO
COVER THE MOUTH AND NOSE TO
PREVENT DROPLET SPREAD.
SO, YOU KNOW UNCOVERING THAT
ONE AREA IS EXACTLY THE
OPPOSITE.
AND OF COURSE SPRAYING LYSOL IS
POTENTIALLY TOXIC AND NOT VERY
EFFECTIVE.
SO YOU CAN USE LYSOL TO CLEAN
COUNTER TOPS AND SURFACES BUT
NOT PEOPLE.
>> NOT STUDENTS' FACES.
>> NO.
>> ON TO OUR NEXT COMING IN
(916) 321-3310.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A FALSE
NEGATIVE RESULT FROM A COVID-19
TEST?
HAVEN'T SEEN THAT QUESTION YET.
SO, IT IS POSSIBLE.
WE DO KNOW THAT TESTING IS NOT
PERFECT.
THAT'S CALLED THE SENSITIVITY
OF THE TEST.
AND THERE ARE CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHERE THE TEST
DOESN'T DETECT A SMALL AMOUNT
OF VIRUS CIRCULATING IN
THE BLOOD SOME THAT IS
POSSIBLE.
IT'S RARE.
IT'S LESS THAN -- LESS THAN 1%
OF THE TIME BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
>> NEXT TEXT COMING IN FOR DR.
RICK, WHEN YOU ARE RECOVERING
FROM COVID-19, HOW LONG ARE YOU
STILL CONTAGIOUS?
IS IT UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS ARE
DONE WITH, YOU FEEL BETTER AND
YOU TESTED CLEAN?
>> SO THERE ARE TWO POINT THAT
WE COMMONLY USE.
IT'S 14 DAYS AFTER YOU ARE
FIRST EXPOSED OR 5 DAYS AFTER
THE END OF SYMPTOMS.
OR A NEGATIVE TEST.
>> OKAY, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
THIS NEXT ONE IS ANOTHER ONE,
WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF FRESH
TEXTS HERE, ORGANS OF VICTIMS,
ARE THEY
TRANSPLANTABLE?
>> SO THE ANSWER TO THAT IS
MOST CASES NO.
ORGANS ARE SCREENED VERY VERY
CAREFULLY FOR TRANSMISSIBLE
DISEASES.
IF THERE WERE VIRAL PARTICLES
IN AN ORGAN WOULD WOULD NOT
WANT TO TRANSPLANT THAT ORGAN.
THE QUESTION IS TIMING OF THE
DONATION AND RELATIVE TO WHEN
THE DISEASE HAD OCCURRED AND
THE OVER -- THE
ORGANS ARE ALL TESTED VERY
CAREFULLY.
SO IT WOULDN'T BE BE
TRANSPLANTED.
>> NEXT ONE COMING IN, WE HAD A
DOCTOR ON A COUPLE DAYS AGO WHO
WAS HIGHLY SUGGESTING THAT
PEOPLE GET
HUMIDIFIERS, THAT THEY BE 60%,
RUNNING 24/7 EITHER COOL MIST
OR WARM MIST THAT HELPS WITH
THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM, THIS NEXT TEST IS ABOUT
AIR PURIFIERERS, SPEAK TO BOTH.
>> THEY ARE NOT THE SAME,
HUMIDDED IF I CASE IS SIMPLY
ADDING WATER TO THE AIR.
KNOWN TO HELP WITH ALL UPPER
RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS
ESPECIALLY VIRAL INFECTIONS BY
HELPING THE AIRWAYS STAY
MOIST AND HELPING WITH THE
BODY'S NATURAL IMMUNITY AND
IMMUNE SYSTEMS.
THE ONLY REASON TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT HUMIDITY IS THAT THE
EQUIPMENT YOU ARE USING IS
STERILIZED AND THAT YOU'RE NOT
DISBURSING ANY TYPE OF
BACTERIA, VIRUSES INTO THE AIR.
PURIFIERS I THINK THERE IS A
LOT OF CONTROVERSY ABOUT THOSE,
THEY DO CONTAIN TYPICALLY
FILTERS, THE FILTERS
ARE EFFECTIVE IN REMOVING
BACTERIA AND
