The Body, The Covid-19 Pandemic And Your Close-contact Practice
Do not take my words. I’m not a covid19 expert. Do not take anyone’s words.
No one knows how many people will get it, how many will die, how many will survive. If someone tells you he knows, check again his agenda. CDC and WHO say they can not predict numbers, yet, but they know it will get more serious.
Read these research articles.
Be responsible, It’s so important, now.
Read the articles to the bottom and check the links at the end to many others that will give you insight.
Do not take my words.
Just read and notice the transmissibility through blood:

Think of how long you spend with your hands ( with imperceptible minor cuts) on the patient’s body ( with imperceptible minor cuts).
RESCHEDULE your patients and instead of thinking of loosing the money, think of gaining their trust in your knowledge and expertise, think of educating each other and also, think of saving our future.
Notice Transmissibility through fecal sheddings :

If you decide that your bodywork/training/yoga/dance session is life-saving for someone(which frequently IS), wear gloves, masks.
Don’t take my words, rather read research evidence on HOW TO CLEAN :
Persistence of coronaviruses on different types of inanimate surfaces is surprisingly looong !
Check all tables - they will tell you facts on how commonly used hospital-level disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite) are effective and sufficient procedures. “The typical use of bleach is at a dilution of 1:100 of 5% sodium hypochlorite resulting in a final concentration of 0.05% [13]. Our summarized data with coronaviruses suggest that a concentration of 0.1% is effective in 1 min (Table III). That is why it seems appropriate to recommend a dilution 1:50 of standard bleach in the coronavirus setting. For the disinfection of small surfaces ethanol (62e71%; carrier tests) revealed a similar efficacy against coronavirus. A concentration of 70% ethanol is also recommended by the WHO for disinfecting small surfaces [13].”

Social isolation ?-as much as I hate it and as essential as Tango and any dancing are in my life, I am going to stay a little lower, these days. At this moment, it looks like it may help us to tackle this. And we will!
