        Keep it dry lor, wet must chg.
        U can avoid crowded place for time being right?if can Drive , no need take public transport
        I m not going into wet market at peak hour etc
        Those with underlying medical conditions, respiratory allergies, asthmatic need to be careful n wear masks to avoid getting sick.
        How abt students?most Kids n ours are also on public transport too! I really hope by now, most people should b social responsible n care abt one another if one is not considerate, may get “retribution “ one leh :nailbite: :scared:

          The surgical mask is per SINGLE use only.

          That’s why I say better to wear a cosmetic / design mask. No one is doing it right anyway. So, may as well look good while doing it wrong.

              Thankfully most of our families had just done a comprehensive Springcleaning 2 weeks ago, so my furniture, bedsheets, floors, toilets are very clean. And also thankfully I’ve always been quite a germaphobe, so my family members must abide by my rules to always change out of their outside clothes immediately upon stepping into the house, must wash their feet and hands immediately upon reaching home like the Japanese and must wash hair daily. I also always maintain a mini stockpile of masks (from lowest grade beauty salon type to black charcoal masks to surgical masks to Air+ masks to highest grade 3M N95 masks), hand sanitizers, antibacterial hand wipes, few types of thermometers, hot-cold packs, adhesive cool pads, surgical gloves, plastic gloves, medicines and multivits.

                  I think shld suggest to our authorities fixed the prices for retail of face masks to the public besides controlling supplies so that supplies do not run out for those in life-saving & medical services. Oh yes, incl those whobface the public in services line (nurses/docs, taxi drivers, etc). Those in banking, research, sports, etc don’t really need till there’s community spread?

                  I’m also upset those online retailers exploiting ppl’s fears & selling at high prices. Worst, not only they sell useless masks at high prices online, now we hear of audacity of selling expired masks & damaged ones! Human greed & heartlessness to the core.

                  DS call these “black hearted merchants” / 黑心商家

                      Tho I’m not so germaphobe, I’ve learnt to change out immediately arriving home, wash hair daily, all doors (front, kitchen, toilets, bedrooms doors) hv to be wiped down on daily basis even before this wind of nCoV. I’m highly sensitized to remind kids not to touch face & wash, wash, wash & I do so everyday as I visit FIL in hospital daily.

                      Got my helper to clean out entire house again before & after Reunion Dinner. Poor girl, asked her to rest & wake up later for Sat & Sun she didn’t want to.

                        In all seriousness, surgical mask is not designed for reuse. It is also designed to prevent the others from the wearer! People keep saying wearing a mask is better than none but here’s the thing, avian and influenza viruses are known to enter the respiratory tract via the eye passage. You should be wearing full face mask to save yourself (gas mask, the one that your son’s classmate brought to school, is the best - he obviously has more sense than everyone else 😂 ). Lastly, the virus may also enter the body if the wearer touches his mouth, nose and eyes after touching a surface with the flu virus on it. How often you sanitize your hand before touching your face?
