Dr. Joy’s Myths Busters
Corona Virus Tips
People are scrambling to buy antibacterial wipes. They don’t kill viruses. They kill bacteria. Some don’t even contain alcohol.
What does kill viruses? Ethyl Alcohol (70% to 90%).
Warning flammable. Limit use to small spaces in well ventilated places. Source for alcohol and bleach info: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/booksNBK214356.
Sodium Hypochlorite bleach is effective in killing viruses.
Warning wear mask, rubber gloves, waterproof apron, and eye goggles. Dilute only with cold water. I part bleach to 99 parts water. Do not combine with any other household cleanser. Clean the surface first of all organic material. Then apply bleach mixture to hard surfaces. Let stand 10 to 40 minutes. (No research yet on how long for Covid 19 specifically.) Bleach fumes are irritating to the nasal passage ways. Don’t inhale fumes.
Yes, do wear masks in public. Buy or make cloth masks. (Patterns and directions are online.) Masks protect from particles released into the air from our nasal and oral passages, from coughing and sneezing. That fine mist can remain airborne 3 hours and on hard surfaces for days! Some Asian doctors have learned that 25% of the total Covid 19 cases don’t have symptoms. Some cases have been found to not show symptoms for 24 days. They are secret carriers spreading the disease. Wear your mask! Don’t touch your mask when you take it off. Grab the ear loops. Discard paper masks. Wash cloth ones. If your company has N95 masks, please donate them.
Precautions: Stay at home. Go for solo walks or work in your yard. Limit trips for supplies to once a week. When shopping I take extra precautions. I put a couple of drops of an anti-viral essential oil inside my mask, not touching my skin. (Tea Tree, Thieves, Manuka, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, etc.) and I wear gloves. I take my list. I go get what I need. Then go home, away from possible exposure. Some of the essential oils that interfere with viral functioning are in health food stores or call an essential oil representative.
WARNING: The self medicating folks who hear a rumor and drink liquids nobody would dream of drinking can end up with damaged organs or dead! Don’t drink hydrogen peroxide or vinegar, straight or diluted! Don’t drink the fish tank version of something that sounds like a drug somebody said is effective. Rumors are dangerous.
Younger people CAN and DO get the Covid 19 (Corona) virus and die. Be sure to protect the young in your family from this dangerous rumor. This is a new virus. We know nothing about it. We have no immunity against it. It kills people of all ages. It is dangerous. It spreads quickly. This is not the annual flu!
Scientists and Medical staff are working around the clock to understand this new invisible enemy. New discoveries and insights are coming in daily. Keep yourself updated from a reliable source, Your local news broadcasts can contain conflicting information. The Center for Disease Control (National and State) National Public Radio and Oregon Public Broadcasting are my preferred sources.
Stay informed. Be calm. Act sensibly. Don’t hoard. Help others. We will get through this together!
