A #COVID19ireland thread....
As a result of the escalation in the number of cases of coronavirus, my oncologist contacted me last night to strongly advise me to avoid large gatherings of people since I am in an at risk groups for severe disease should I contract the virus 1/7
And so, I have cancelled all events for March in order to do my bit to help to contain the virus to protect myself but also to protect other vulnerable members of my community like my mother, who has rheumathoid arthritis and takes medication that suppresses her immune system 2/7
We ALL need to do what we can to slow the spread of this virus as much as possible in order to allow the @HSELive and @roinnslainte to get our hospitals as prepared as possible so that we maximise of having ICU beds for those who need them, when they need them. And so...3/7
There are THREE things we can ALL do to slow the spread of coronavrius:

- Wash our hands MORE OFTEN for AT LEAST 20 seconds with soap and water

- Avoid touching our faces.

- Cough or sneeze into our elbows

How to avoid touching our faces - this is the one I find the hardest since it is a habit and habits are hard to break! Watch this clip below from the @TodaySOR with great advice on how to stop touching our faces from Behaviour Analyst, Pádraig Walsh ⬇️ 6/7
I don't have a video to show how to cough or sneeze into our elbows. I think we all know how to do that BUT I did find this simulation from the BBC which shows just HOW important hand washing an additional 10 times a day is to slowing the coronavirus ⬇️
