Eleven Easy Things to Do for Coronavirus Avoidance
- Wash your hands! And not just a quick rinse under the cold faucet. At least 20 seconds on the clock with anti-bacterial soap and hot water. People have suggested singing the “Happy Birthday” song twice as a good measure of time. Singing. I get to enjoy happy memories while washing. Now, needless to say, washing isn’t just after using the bathroom, it’s every time you’ve been out and about, touching surfaces, interacting with people, food shopping, getting gas. This is a lot of hand washing, so make sure you have a nice hand cream to use to keep your hands from drying out.
- No handshaking! Elbow bump, give a slight bow, high five, whatever feels right.
Don’t touch your face and eyes. Unless, you’ve followed the above and washed your hands. - Keep disinfectant wipes in your purse, pocket, briefcase, car for those times when you are out and need to wipe down the gas pump, the grocery cart, table or chair. Or use them once you’ve gotten back in the car after being out. This is considered speed-washing, but doesn’t take the place of full hand washing when you get to where you are going.
- Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer at the entrances to your home, your offices, in your car, so that if you are out and can’t wash your hands, you can use this in the short term.* Research has also determined there is a potential for Virgin Coconut Oil and its derivatives to be effective and safe antiviral agents, which when used correctly could help protect against Coronavirus (nCoV-2019)*.

- If you haven’t already, get some surgical masks and latex or nitrile gloves and keep them handy. The gloves might come in handy when gassing up the car or bringing in all those boxes from Amazon.
- Stock up your pantry with dry goods and non-perishables. Should you need to self-quarantine, you’ll be prepared.
- Get some tissues, and when you cough or sneeze, do so into the tissue and then discard. Use your elbow only when there’s no alternative, as you’ll carry germs on your clothing. Some reporting is showing that germs can live for up to a week. The people I have partnered with have been researching this virus since early January, when they were on a trip to Florida, spending time hunched over a computer, mashing up data and following trends.

Here’s a quick summary of the natural products The team has written about that will be useful to have on hand: - Selenium (100 mcg daily): Evidence shows that areas of Africa with adequate levels of selenium in the diet have lower susceptibilities to many viruses. This may be due to selenium’s effects on glutathione, an important and necessary component of an effective immune response.
