How to prevent contracting COVID-19

On Saturday, Fox News featured Dr. David Price from the Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, who talked about tips on how to stop the spread of coronavirus.

"Most likely, I will speak emotionally, but not out of fright. Just the opposite, because for the first time in this entire period, I stopped being afraid," Price said. "I work in the main hospital in New York, which deals exclusively with COVID-19. Accordingly, every day, we learn more and more about the cause-effect relationship of this virus, and here is what I can advise you:

Do not be afraid because by observing certain rules, you can protect yourself and your family from the virus.

The most important rule is to become enemies with your own hands! This is because most people have the habit of constantly touching their face with their hands at regular intervals, which, in fact, leads to infection of oneself. A mask can help you get rid of this habit, as it prevents a person from touching his face.

It's also very important to keep your hands clean! They just need to be constantly disinfected.

According to statistics, the disinfection of hands, as well as the prevention of touching your face with your hands, saves you from contracting the virus in 99.9% of cases.

The 0.1% is the probability of infection by airborne droplets, which is so small and has its own conditions, such as:

1 - if you are near the patient for more than 15 minutes.

2 - if you were in contact with a patient without protective equipment.

3 - if you and the patient did not keep a distance of about 1.5 meters.

Here is what I will tell you for complete optimism:

First of all, there are no cases that a doctor in contact with patients was infected, due to the fact that they comply with these rules.

Second, not all those infected with the virus who come to us need to be hospitalized, because the disease proceeds like a common cold, and if there is no difficulty in breathing, then the immune system is coping, which means that there are no complications and there is no need to go to the hospital.

Third, those who were admitted due to difficulty in breathing, go home after 5–7–10 days, after the artificial ventilation procedure.

Fourth, you need to remember that COVID-19 can die from any disinfectant, even from a tiny drop of it.

In conclusion, I want to say what made me smile, and I hope that you too will feel it with me. I'm now completely sure that I will never get this virus, because I know how to protect myself from it."
