start working on not touching your face
do as they say not as they do 60 seconds
after this public health director from
California warned everyone not to touch
their face watch what she does
yep she actually licked her fingers to
turn a page one of the key parts to
preventing transmission is washing your
hands and not touching your face same
with representative Alexandria or Cascio
Cortez
she kept fussing as she advised
Americans just more proof of how hard it
is to give up the lifelong habit of
touching your face I haven't touched my
face in weeks not so fast mr. president
photographs show president Trump resting
his hands on his face all during the
coronavirus crisis it's usually
spontaneous and we're not even aware of
it the view co-hosts Joy Behar admits
she's a frequent offender I'm just a
twitchy
I'm twitchy the eyes nose and mouth are
the portal into the body for germs I've
become as I'm sure many of your viewers
have become hyper aware how often we
shake hands and might exchange a droplet
how often we then go back and touch our
face our mouth our nose dr. Ezekiel
Emanuel is a special adviser to the
World Health Organization it's not the
air these aren't free virus particles
sitting in the air its droplets
coronavirus goes by droplets so it could
be someone sneezed on you laughed at you
or it could be that the you know a
droplet came out of their mouth it hit
the surface in the kitchen you put your
hand on that surface and then you touch
that surface to your mouth
this doctor actually uses a plastic
shield to train patients to avoid
touching their face it's also a struggle
to avoid shaking hands especially if
you're in the public eye and want to be
polite just look at Melania Trump and
Joe Biden this week they're still
greeting people with a handshake
Stephen Fabian talked to dr. oz about
another health hazard these days
you always hear your phone is so dirty
no phones are dirtier than toilet seats
we've studied it and the reason phones
are dirtier than just toilet then toilet
seats is because you clean a toilet seat
you never clean your phone so start
doing it disinfecting smartphone
is not as easy as you think that the
manufacturers sealed the phone with some
kind of chemicals that if you attack
with Clorox or Lysol or alcohol there's
a really good chance you're gonna mess
up the waterproofing and/or the screen
itself so what do you do the first thing
to do is turn it off okay you've got
your alcohol mixture which is on water
its alcohol what is the percentage it's
roughly two-thirds water one-third
alcohol here I have a microfiber cloth
okay
and I would dip it in here and this is
an iPhone it's got a glass case and I
can absolutely clean the phone with it
here's a gadget that might help a
smartphone UV sanitizer which claims to
neutralize bacteria with UV light the
Inside Edition digital team is fielding
questions from viewers across the nation
and now dr. Zeke is answering them how
do you know if it's a corona virus or
just the regular annual flu you don't
that's why we have a laboratory test
because you can you can have the same
exact symptoms and actually that's one
of the reasons public health people are
recommending that you get the flu
vaccine to kind of minimize that as a
possibility I know you want neither but
if you had to choose coronavirus or the
annual flu the difference is at this
moment we're quarantine people who have
the corona virus isolating them for 14
days so if you have corona virus not
only are you sick and having to recover
you're gonna have that isolation
quarantine period and that I think is
the added complication of corona virus
at this time
you
