Simple Zero Impact Measures That Can Be Taken Right Now To Prevent The Spread of COVID That Aren't Being Mandated

That will still not help.

People will need meds, doctor appts, etc.

Kids are disease factories. They get everything going.

This may be ELE!

Like ebola was? SARS?...

I'm not implying that people isolate themselves. I'm saying that if people that can work from home, do they won't be in the office, or stopping for coffee, breakfast, lunch, be in the break rooms etc.

Of course people will still need to travel and get meds, pick up kids etc. BUT if a parent is working from home it will also eliminate the need for daycare for the their kids, which is a huge benefit to this strategy. This alone will eliminate BILLIONS of opportunities for spreading this, such as handshakes, sneezes, break rooms, hallways.. the list goes on and on. In fact someone get me in touch with a damn decision maker in the CDC or the WHO, I need to be running that bitch!

The testing stations is a particularly good idea.

There is absolutely no reason why schooling for children can't be implemented online.

The American public's tax dollars for schools act as payment for babysitters so people can go to work.

Im with Op on this. I think Op should run it too

1) I will just note that the Trump administration clamped down on teleworking by government employees.

2) How much is this going to cost and who is going to do it?

3) It's an option, but stores are going to be overwhelmed if everyone starts doing it.

4) There's a massive mask shortage in the US right now because people are panic buying them.

5) How much is this going to cost and who is going to do it.

6) No problem with this one.

Done, now I wait.

I vote for Ge-B-GB to run the run the CDC.

Now which GLPer should run homeland security?

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP DOING THIS.


You post a comment from someone elses thread in blue as if it was posted on this thread, then you reply to the comment you copy/pasted from the other thread.


why not just keep the conversation fluid instead of interjecting weird things like they're being talked about arleady

Yay! Dooooom. Finally! Been hanging out for some dooom.

I vote Brief, Chip, Phen or Too Dark Two

That's news to me, copying and pasting. I'm doing no such thing.

On #5, there's no reason to wait and spend over $1000.00 to wash your hands. Get a bowl from the dollar store, some bleach water in a spray bottle and a roll of paper towels. Done. Improve it at your own convenience. The idea is to do things that make an impact NOW, not wait on ceremony.

I understand that, responsible people do things like that, the simple fact is you have to account for inconsiderate idiots. The hand washing station at the entrance of State and Federal buildings would be a good counter measure for the "idiot impact", if not a full blown Hand Washing Station, then at least the same things that Walmart has and make it mandatory to use it upon entry.

agree

these are fine ideas for prevention.


effective too:

get your sleep - at least 8 hours a night.

de-stress. Will keep your cortisol down. Cortisol promotes infection.

breathe in fresh air. this was a huge boon during times when tuberculosis killed millions in Europe and America.

do not touch your face in public. this is good against any infectious agent, even airborne ones that may have landed on your hands.

How about anyone sick should use pharmacy drive throughs?

My fear is a packer at Amazon will get it.

1 day shipping....with bonus virus.

Are they UV or ozoning the mail?

Agreed

Finally!!!

Someone that is looking at ideas and solutions versus just being a FKN toolbox full of negativity complaining and stupidity.


I’ll add to the list:

We should have hand wash stations at all grocery stores and gas stations.

Outfknstanding OP. Nice fkn job.

I can get almost everything online except FRESH produce. I can’t get produce through the mail, or fed x or ups. I’m too far out for any delivery.

Somebody mailing produce at a good price would make a fortune. IMO.

- Schools that have capability of switching to online learning should do so and close down. My daughters school already has this so parents can access the study guides and lessen plans.

- they should begin taking the temperatures of children coming to school as they enter and send all children home with fevers. School nurse should have masks etc. for sick children while they are waiting for parents to pick up.

- Same as above for office and factory workers. Even small establishments can find a person to track employee temperatures and send home anyone with a fever. If this is put in place people would stay home in the first place.

- Public Transportation, Mass transit. If you don't need it don't use it. If mass transit is to continue, they should offer all passengers gloves and masks upon entering a station location and should be a criteria of using public transportation.

- Many companies are shutting down employee travel, especially when it is possible to have meetings and conferences via video or teleconference. I work from home and and work with this daily. Even when training employees.

- Private doctors office doctors and nurses, receptionists should be using masks, goggles and gloves when working with patients across the board. If they get sick, we all get it from them.

This is my fear also. How do we handle delivered packages?

This should have already been done many years ago. (Simply to avoid useless commutes, traffic, pollution, etc.)

But businesses/managers hate this, so this will never happen, until actual doom is upon us.

I agree with everything you said. With another add on... remove the penalties for kids missing school. If parents want to keep kids home, let them.

25% accurate tests.

What you bet it doesn't exist and its just flu/cold.


And what you bet the initial ones that did have it and that they flounced out to the world to pretend a pandemic, HAD THOSE VACCINATIONS.

So, nada.

Don't crash the economy.

Agreed, OP. Instead it's manufactured hysteria to destroy the global economy.

I take precautions all of the time with WASHING MY HANDS. When I go into a store I use Purell wipes, if they have them, before and after and I wash when I get home. I don't get sick very often. My worst vector is my husband who I caught my cold from.
