Saving Your Health, One Mask at a Time

May 19, 2020 by Chris Hadley

 

Greetings to you on this fine Colorado day of May 19, 2020. If you’ve been barraged with articles about face masks, comments about why they don’t work although many people are wearing them. I have opinion about face masks as I’m sure most everyone else does too.

Check out the link to the article below. It’s the most helpful one I’ve seen so far to determine how and when to use face masks in combination with hand washing, not touching your face, staying at home, and social distancing or staying 6 feet away from others.

The author is Peter Tippett, MD, PhD, Internal Medicine certified, Emergency Room MD with a PhD in Biochemistry. His background has focused on helping people understand how risk, infection and the growth of infection behaves. I hope you enjoy his article.

Here’s the link:

Saving Your Health, One Mask at a Time

Twelve Points of Dr. Tippett’s article include:

  1. Bottom Line on Masks and Gloves
  2. Protections Work Together
  3. Getting Infected is Not “Black and White”
  4. So How Does a Mask Really Work?
  5. The Nuance Behind Mask Testing
  6. How and When You are Likely to be Exposed
  7. Is a Hospital Mask Better than Homemade?
  8. Should I be Wearing Gloves, Too?
  9. What About Grocery Bags?
  10. Hand Washing & Sanitizers
  11. What about Packages and mail delivered on the front porch?
  12. But I work in a Grocery Store (or Warehouse)

Key Takeaways
+Social Distance
+Safe Zone
+Masks
