GOOD AFTERNOON. >> HI.
>> HI.
>> HI. >>
>> HI. >> LET'S START WITH OUR FIST
QUESTION FROM ANN.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
AIRBORNE AND DROPLET SPREAD?
>> I THINK THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR
IN THIS CASE.
WE WERE JUST WATCHING THAT
VERIFY SEGMENT ABOUT TALKING.
AS WE'RE TALKING OR SOMEONE
COUGHS OR SNEEZES, DROPLETS
WILL FLY THROUGH THE AIR AND
POTENTIALLY COULD LAND ON
ANOTHER PERSON.
ANOTHER PERSON. THE DROPLETS BECOME AIRBORNE
AND THAT'S HOW THE VIRUS IS
TRANSMITTED.
TRANSMITTED. WHICH IS WHY MASKS MAKE PERFECT
SENSE BY HAVING THEM, A BARRIER
BETWEEN PEOPLE.
BETWEEN PEOPLE. THOSE DROPLETS SHOULD NOT GET
INTO THE AIR AND FLY ACROSS SIX
FEET TO INFECT SOMEBODY ELSE.
>> THIS NEXT QUESTION FROM
GAYLE.
GAYLE.
GAYLE. WILL SPRAYING LYE SOL IN A ROOM
KILL COVID-19?
KILL COVID-19? >> AND THIS IS A REALLY GOOD
POINT.
POINT.
POINT. ANY ANTIBACTERIAL, LYSOL IS ONE
OF THEM, DISINFECTANT WILL KILL
THE VIRUSES AND SURFACES.
IF IT HAPPENS TO BE IN THE AIR
IT WILL KILL THAT TOO.
THIS TALK OF THE VIRUS JUST
BEING IN THE AIR, IT DOESN'T
LAST VERY LONG.
IT'S GOT TO BE THE DROPLETS.
YOU CAN SPRAY HARD SURFACES
WITH LYSOL IT'S GOING TO KILL
IT.
IT.
IT. IT'S
IT. IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY EASY VIRUS
TO KILL.
TO KILL.
TO KILL. SOAP AND WATER WILL KILL THE
CORONAVIRUS.
CORONAVIRUS. >> WITH I THINK THAT'S WHERE
PEOPLE ARE SO CONFUSED.
WE'VE SEEN SO MANY REPORTS ON
HOW LONG THE DROPLETS CAN
REMAIN IN THE AIR.
WHEN YOU SAY NOT SO LONG, HOW
MUCH TIME WITH RETALKING ABOUT?
>> SO IT IS TRICKY.
THE CDC HAVE GONE BACK AND
FORTH ABOUT SURFACES AND
DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
JUST BECAUSE THE VIRUS MAY BE
ON A SURFACE OR POSSIBLY IN THE
AIR, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN
THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU AN
INFECTION.
INFECTION. WE REALLY KNOW IT'S PERSON TO
PERSON.
PERSON.
PERSON. I
PERSON. I HAVE STRESSED THAT OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL WEEKS.
IT'S GOT TO BE PERSON TO PERSON
TRANSMISSION.
TRANSMISSION. IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY YOU'LL
CATCH IT FROM A SURFACE.
OBVIOUSLY IS IT POSSIBLE?
YES.
YES.
YES. ANYTHING IS TECHNICALLY
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE. BUT REALLY THE WAY THIS VIRUS
HAS BEEN SPREAD IS BY PERSON TO
PERSON.
PERSON.
PERSON. YOU CAN THINK OF IT THIS WAY.
IF IT WAS AS CONTAGIOUS AND WE
THINK MEASLES IS LIKE THIS
WHERE IT CAN JUST BE IN THE
ROOM, WE WOULD HAVE HAD A LOT
MORE CASES.
MORE CASES. WE HAVE A LOT, BUT WE'D BE IN A
LOT WORSE SITUATION HAD THIS
BEEN AS CONTAGIOUS AS SOMETHING
LIKE MEASLES.
LIKE MEASLES. IT'S PERSON TO PERSON.
>> UP NEXT IS JULIE.
SHE WANTS TO KNOW CAN EXERCISE
KILL CORONAVIRUS IF YOUR HEART
RATE AND BODY TEMPERATURE
RISES?
RISES?
RISES? >>
RISES? >> WE DON'T HAVE ANY DATA ON
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. I
THAT. I DON'T THINK SO WE DO THINK A
HIGHER TEMPERATURES IN THE BODY
MAY MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE
VIRUS TO REPLICATE.
WHEN YOU'RE EXERCISING YOUR
CORE TEMPERATURE GOES UP A
LITTLE BIT BUT YOU'RE SWEATING
AND PERSPIRING TO COOL YOUR
BODY DOWN SO YOUR CORE
TEMPERATURE DOESN'T GET HIGH
ENOUGH TO BE AN ISSUE.
WE KNOW AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE
THE VIRUS IS NOT AS ACTIVE AS
AT LOWER.
AT LOWER.
AT LOWER. YOUR CORE TEMPERATURE SHOULD
SHOULDN'T GET HIGH ENOUGH.
>> WOULD YOU SAY EXERCISE WOULD
HELP KEEP YOURSELF HEALTHY?
>> ASK FOR SURE.
HEALTHY DIET, EXERCISE, SLEEP
CAN ONLY HELP YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM WHICH WILL HELP YOU
FIGHT CORONAVIRUS.
FIGHT CORONAVIRUS. >> LET'S MOVE ON TO CLARA.
I AM 65 YEARS OLD AND
UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY.
UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY. WHEN SHOULD BE A SAFE TIME TO
BEGIN WORKING?
BEGIN WORKING? >> I THINK FOR SOMEONE THAT'S
UNDERGOING CHEMO IF YOU'RE
ACTIVELY UNDERGOING CHEMO AND
USUALLY OR POTENTIALLY COULD
AFFECT YOUR WHITE BLOOD CELL
COUNT.
COUNT.
COUNT. I
COUNT. I THINK I WOULD HAVE TO SAY
DISCUSS THAT WITH YOUR
ONCOLOGIST.
ONCOLOGIST. BUT I DEFINITELY THINK YOU FALL
IN THAT CATEGORY OF THE PEOPLE
THAT HAVE AN UNDERLYING
CONDITION THAT PUTS YOU AT
HIGHER RISK SO I THINK YOU HAVE
TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION AND
DEFINITELY I WOULD NOT RUSH TO
DO ANYTHING.
DO ANYTHING. BUT YOUR ONCOLOGIST WILL BE
ABLE TO GIVE YOU BETTER ADVICE
BASED ON HOW MUCH LONGER THE
CHEMO AND YOUR WHITE COUNT.
>> THOSE FOLKS STILL NEED TO
SHELTER IN PLACE.
UP NEXT IS SHERRY.
I'M 5 AND 57 AND
I WAS GOING TO PT.
>> HERE'S ANOTHER PERSON.
DIABETES IS A PREEXISTING
MEDICAL CONDITION THAT DOES PUT
YOU AT SLIGHTLY HIGHER RISK.
HAVING SAID THAT WE KNOW THE
CLINICS ARE ALL TAKING ALL THE
PRECAUTIONS.
PRECAUTIONS. WEARING A MASK IS GOING IT HELP
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. IT
YOU. IT DEPENDS.
IT DEPENDS. IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU REALLY
NEED YOUR PT TO FUNCTION, I
THINK IT'S PROBABLY SAFE.
I WOULD SAY THE LONGER YOU CAN
WAIT THE BETTER.
AND IF YOU, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE
DOING OKAY AND YOU DON'T THINK
YOU REALLY NEED YOUR PT OR IT'S
NOT GOING THAT MAKE THAT MUCH
OF A DIFFERENCE I WOULD HOLD
OFF.
OFF.
OFF. I
OFF. I DON'T WANT YOU TO LOSE ALL
THE PROGRESS YOU MADE SO I'LL
SAY TAKE IT CASE BY CASE.
THE LONGER PEOPLE WITH
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS CAN
SHELTER IN PLACE THE BETTER FOR
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. >>
THEM. >> MAYBE YOU CAN DO SOME THINGS
AT HOME.
AT HOME.
AT HOME. >> DEFINITELY.
>> DEFINITELY. >> WITH THE PT.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
