Protect self and family

This video is a quick practical guide on how to

protect

your

self

and your

family

members from external infections caused by bacteria in the environment or viral infections in the environment, so let's look at these practical things we can do to

protect

you. and to his

family

. Now if there is a disease in the environment and many people have it, there is a high prevalence of a condition, then the best thing you can do to protect your

self

is to avoid cross-infection and getting it from other people, so always stay home as possible now I know you have to go out to work but if possible please stay home to discourage visitors so please stay home when possible avoid crowded places. problems buses trains queues slightly crowded areas we want to avoid cross infection we want to avoid close contact and 2 meters 2 meters is close so we need a space of 2 meters between us and other people because this prevents droplet infections because viruses and bacteria can be exhaled in the air droplets we exhale.

Most of us by vendors will be transmitted this way so many diseases also have incubation periods so your friend might bring you over and say I'll come over for a cup of tea I feel absolutely fine don't worry about the virus but they could be incubating it is possible if they have been in a crowded store the day before or a couple of days before they could be incubating the virus but have no symptoms yet they could be asymptomatic so we need to be a bit social we need to change the the way we do things just for a period of time if there is a viral infection about obviously avoiding close contact with people who are symptomatic people who have symptoms or people who are potential carriers because with viral illness there is often a period of incubation people feel good but they're not so don't share cups n ow social behavior maybe for a while we need to stop shake hands because you can exhale the virus on your hands where you can reproduce the virus on a surface in the droplets in your hair you touch the surface with your hand and then you shake hands hands and the disease can spread and the disease spreads not to through the skin of the hands, but when the virus reaches the mucous membranes of the mouth because you always do this kind of thing by touching your face, so social habits need to change.

Certainly kissing correctly would mean the disease, but even the social kissing that would discourage hugging. We need to change our habits for a while. Close contact is the way this virus spreads. Obviously don't kiss babies and external surfaces should be considered contaminated. In an epidemic, if there is a lot of virus around, people breathe it out, you touch it even on money or external surfaces, your surface, your hands, your interior, that's why meticulous hand hygiene is important. And now I'm going to do a next video on how to wash your hands. I know it sounds simple, but there are a few things to do right, so Russia wash your hands with meticulous hand hygiene and don't touch your eyes with your mouth. with our hands which we do all the time now people often ask me about masks that have some efficacy but not much hmm so really the main purpose of wearing a mask is to keep you from touching your face remind you that you shouldn't touch your face but then the virus can get trapped in the mask so you don't want to touch it, you have to be careful when removing it so as not to cause more contamination so don't touch your eyes mouth and nose as usual i wash my hands warm soapy water hand sanitizers with alcohol above 70% will kill viruses but need a bit of contact time so the best way is to just physically wash off the viruses or soap bacteria to be loosened. the grease the sebum on the top of your hands the bacteria will stick to it then the water will just wash them away.

The flow effect is really what we need when you sneeze or cough. that i've sneezed are inside and then i'm going to hold it and then i'll wash my hands catch it in the bin kill it cough and sneeze spread disease this is the beginning of droplet infection now some viruses are spread in feces so it's meticulous hand hygiene after using the toilet is important and also the idea here is that if someone uses a public toilet and then flushes, the virus could aerosolize into the air, we don't know for some viruses , whether or not this happens but it does with others so it's always worth considering because you could be carrying the virus if you use a public toilet put the lid down then flush if you use a public toilet you yourself and then make sure you are meticulous with hand hygiene complete hand hygiene e after washing and when you have washed your hands ideally with the tissue and if you do not have tissues in the toilet start to carry var some ok start carrying tissues and then when you have washed your hands like this you can open the bathroom door with you can open the bathroom door with the tissue which is a cup but open the bathroom door and then crumple it again and catch it throw it kill it and when it hits the faucet throw it with your elbow but more of that in the next video so meticulous and hygienic hiding surfaces in the home can be cleaned with disinfectants normal homemade household antiseptics just follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the bottle and that should be fine you can sanitize your surface at home and when you come home or have been outside always wash your hands thoroughly before going in now wear a face mask Quality may provide some benefit, but these surgical masks are designed to keep bugs in and keep me from contaminating my patients rather than keep books from coming through. out at me so n95s are a lot of what you buy commercially for working in smoky areas in dusty areas so they give you sun protection but only for a limited period of time because they get wet and then the virus sticks to the moisture , so when you take it off if you touch the front of the mask you're going to contaminate your hand so you have to take it off one side and then wrap it up and bin it wraparound glasses now the idea here is that some viruses can spread through the eyes because the eyes are a mucous membrane, so the mucous membranes are in the mouth, the nose is in the eyes, so there are a lot of viruses around or people are coughing on you. like we might do in a clinical setting we might wear goggles maybe not so much for home protection but it's worth thinking about when i won't take my hospital to visit then he always says if you have a book don't come and hospitals tend to be boogie places anyway so avoid hospitals limited visits visit people if you must of course you have to visit the sick but limit and think carefully.

Could it be infected? Am I taking this infection to the hospital? Am I going to pick up an infection from the hospital? now boost your immune system as much as you can good nutrition fruits vegetables colored vegetables enough protein or central fatty acids if all these things are going to help boost the immune system they will not make the immune system better than normal but if you deficient in any nutrient that can make your immune system worse than normal so think about your nutrition and if you live up north like me or anywhere that doesn't get a lot of sun think about some vitamin D so I take the good dose of vitamin D guide every day 25 micrograms in winter because we just don't get it from the sun and vitamin D in food isn't much so think about your vitamin D status stay warm sleep family life so stay alert rm it's good when you're cold your nose gets cold from cold air and that reduces the blood supply to your nose so if it reduces the blood supply to your nose that reduces the amount of protective white blood cells that go to your nose and makes you more prone to conditions that's one of the reasons why when you're cold you can catch a cold because of the blood supply so try to stay warm if you can't sleep enough that's good for immunity family life is interesting so if a family member has to put them in a room by themselves and that family member would ideally wear a mask when people get inside them to protect the others of themselves also in family life are thinking about sex and this disease can be sexually transmitted, so if one per couple was incubating the disease, it is possible that they transmit it to a sexual partner.

We don't know about the new viral diseases. viruses in animals as we don't have them in the UK but if there were viruses in animals it would be important to cook the meat and eggs because for example people can get MERS from eating undercooked camel meat but that doesn't It's a big problem, but what is a problem is contamination of food after it's been cooked, so someone makes perfectly boiled hygienic food who coughs or sneezes or contaminates it with their hands from a dirty surface on the table. meal. pass him a sandwich or something, contamination of raw food and contamination of cooked food is a possibility, but it's more likely if people contaminate food after it's been cooked and avoid public spaces, have we talked about wear masks at home if it starts? feeling unwell with a fever for what are ground rules for protecting yourself against environmental bacteria and environmental viruses is obviously particularly important at the present time it may become more important and soon i've kept this all pretty simple it's just for the concerned member of the public who you want to protect yourself in your family so feel free to share this on facebook this is the kind of basic knowledge in an old-fashioned lesson that really everyone should know most people do but its always worth the worth reinforcing in the current climate that you
