When to don a mask at home

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   If you live a considerable distance from other homes, you may not feel any danger from infected humans shedding spores.

 If you live in a neighborhood and discover neighbors have fallen ill you may feel this is out of your comfort zone and may choose to wear a mask for awhile. 

If you share air, as in the case of those who live in an apartment complex where hallways bring air from your neighbor's apartment, you may feel your family's at higher risk.

My recommendation if you live in an apartment complex, seal the door only, {shared air door} using tape and placing a moistened towel with bleach and water on the floor, against the foot of the door. Leave a window open slighty to get fresh air. 

DO NOT seal all doors and windows with duct tape as this will lead to suffocation. 

You will consume the oxygen and release carbon.

SIGNS OF POISONING:

headache

nausea

vomiting

drowsiness

difficulty to awaken from sleep

IF you have these symptoms, get to fresh air as soon as possible. Seek medical attention.
