[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4415780, member: 49065"] Everything being done about protecting us from this virus is token. Saw yesterday the safety committee in our Hub was passing out regular working gloves to the young part timers, lambs to the slaughter. I hate to say this but this virus officially started on the first day of January and has affected the entire world in less than 3 months. Do the Math and many will come to the realization that this strain of virus is beyond contagious. It may be a fact that ALL of us have it, it depends on your age and immune system. This virus can be transfer through touch/contact and probably is airborne. It lives on metal and plastic surfaces for days and on Cardboard or paper for 24 hours on contact with a affected handler. That is why it is SO IMPORTANT to stay home if you are showing symptoms. Gloves will not help if you rub your face or touch a hard surface, washing your hands regular is common sense, but seriously how many of us have access to a sink, water, or sanitary agent after handling every door knob, hard metal or plastic surface and package/tape. Regular filter Masks will not help either, if this virus can get into you from your eyes or ears. Has anybody who has worked in the Hub or a construction job ever blown their noses after wearing a mask in a dusty area, how did that work? Our best protection is to treat EVERYBODY you have contact with as if they are affected, bottom line. The six foot rule and avoidance is our only means of protection. We are all in this together but I am seeing a lot of (DRAMA QUEENS) over this subject, this is not a movie and do not expect the government, employer or union to protect you. It is on you, so follow the guidelines and hope for the best... [/QUOTE]
