John and I are fielding a lot of questions right now. Again: It's okay to ask us. We are working as a team and I am handling the answering/replying and just peppering him for answers when he isn't busy.
We truly feel KNOWLEDGE is SO important. And we feel people need information right now. There is a lot of confusion and very hard questions -- especially in our area where this is currently nearly everywhere.
Many of you are starting to find your elderly neighbors getting sick. And there are questions about what to do about that.
A question earlier this week was how to transport that elderly patient to the hospital if they have COVID and you don't (or haven't) had it. You don't want to ride in the car with them. You have two choices: 1) Find someone who CAN take them (like me! I've had it!) OR 2) Call 911. Truly that's all you can do. 911 is having to be used for this.
A second question this week had to do with a neighbor who was admitted to the hospital but had a little dog that needs care. "We need to take care of her small dog. Do you know what we can do to help get her house ready for her return and keep it safer for us? We stand right inside the door to feed the dog. Her sister sprayed the house with Lysol this morning. No one else will be in her house except us until she comes home."
The best answer has to do with the fact of how long they "think" COVID can live on surfaces. Here is what current research is indicating. (Please remember! This is a young virus. So answers WILL change as more research is done. That's what research is.) But generally, the idea is, give it 72 hours before entering the house without precautions!
