(40,374 posts)As a former foster parent, I still wash my hands vigorously with soap and water after going to the bathroom or handling something dirty for at least 20 seconds each time. I use bleach wipes to wipe down door handles, kitchen faucet handles, shower handles, kitchen counters , bathroom counters, and toilet flush lever every few days and bleach water to wipe down toilets and bathroom floors. I'm out of bleach and wipes now and have to get some the next time I go into town.
I can't wear N95 respirators because I can't get enough air. It's annoying at best to be breathing hard while at rest and it's a bugger when trying to do physical work. And when I was breathing so hard, warm breathe would escape from around my nose and fog up my glasses. I can wear surgical masks when doing dirty work although I haven't in a long time even though my wife gets on me about wearing some kind of protection. I ordered some last night so even if I don't need them for the new virus, i can still use them for doing routine dirty work.
