To stop the spread of coronavirus, many states have travel restrictions and travel restrictions where you can go.
But this does not mean that many well-meaning people cannot involuntarily expose themselves to microbes.
During a recent trip to the grocery store, Molly Lixie, a former emergency room nurse in Saginaw, Michigan, told CNN that she noticed that many people were wearing gloves, which she thought was great.
But what wasn’t so great? She saw all the cross-contamination.
In an extraordinary video on Facebook, Lixie decided to demonstrate how quickly and easily spread microbes to the grocery store.
“I painted all over the house, and it struck me that paint would be the perfect way to explain this (cross-contamination),” she told CNN. “I’m scared to think that people believe that they are safe only because they wear gloves and do not make them realize that they can still harm themselves or others,” she said.
We know that coronavirus can spread through sneezing and coughing, and new studies show that it can be transmitted from conversation or, possibly, even from breathing, which greatly facilitates the transfer of microbes from object to object.
In her video, Lixie imitates going to the grocery store, and she starts by putting on gloves, grabs her cell phone when she gets out of the car, empties the basket and picks up toilet paper. She uses a piece of cardboard as her mobile phone and dips her fingers on a plate of paint to symbolize the germs on her hands as a result of the seizure of toilet paper.
“But it's (germs) on my gloves, it's fine, right? It's on my gloves, ”she said in the video. “But now I'm going, and my phone is ringing, so now I put my hands together a couple of times, take out the phone and, oh, I got an SMS from my husband.”
Lixie continues to pretend to be walking around the grocery store, and, imitating picking up new things to put her in the cart, she puts her fingers back in the paint to mimic the germs she collects throughout this process.
“I understand, as a nurse, I have undergone extensive training on the use of PPE, but many people generally do not,” she said. "Now they are all so scared that they will do everything to protect themselves, but it is important that they do it right."
