Is everyone entitled to be wearing masks? This is the exact question on everyone's lips and mind amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which has infected at least 337,900 people in the United States as of Monday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Experts have several concerns when it comes to the public wearing masks.
First, wearing a mask can give a false sense of safety (remember surgical and homemade masks can't necessarily prevent you from getting COVID-19 from someone else), and that can make people sloppier with other important prevention tactics, such as washing your hands or staying six feet from others.
Another concern is that wearing a mask could make you touch your face more. You may be more inclined to adjust the mask, for example, and accidentally contaminate your face, so it's somewhat risky. You have to be very vigilant about where your hands are.
On that note, according to the WHO, face masks are only effective when they are used in conjunction with proper hand-washing measures. The WHO also has strict rules about how to properly and safely put on and take off a mask to avoid contamination.
The bottom line is, surgical masks should be used by healthcare workers, people who have COVID-19, people who are coughing and sneezing and those who are taking care of a sick individual.
Beyond that, masks may be a tool to help us "flatten the curve," but they can't replace good hygiene and social distancing measures.
Hand sanitizer is a liquid or gel generally used to decrease infectious agents on the hands. Formulations of the alcohol-based type are preferable to hand washing with soap and water in most situations in the healthcare setting.
The proper way to apply hand sanitizer:
Rub your hands together, covering all surfaces of both hands, including between your fingers and up around your fingertips and nails. Rub hands together for 30 seconds to allow your hands to completely absorb the product and the hand sanitizer to completely dry.
Here are the five (5) hidden dangers of continuous usage of hand sanitizers
1. Toxic Chemicals
2. Weaker Immune System
3. Hormone Disruption
4. Alcohol Poisoning
5. Antibiotic Resistance
