Re: Human contact....
« on: March 25, 2020, 07:28:02 am »
I work in the medical field and I'm well aware of the value of human contact at all times, but particularly at times like this.  To protect myself I could wear a containment suit I suppose, with hood and shield, respirator and double gloves.  When dealing with a sick person I could certainly prevent myself from getting sick, but what of that sick person?  How does my approach affect their health and well being? 

So I choose to touch them with an open hand and if they are coughing I offer them a mask to contain their cough, but I myself don't wear one in regular patient interactions. It means a lot to see each other.  It means a lot to touch and be touched.  We take precautions when and where they need to be taken.  I would never go in the OR without a mask, but I simply don't need one at Home Depot or the grocery store.  It's silly.

This isn't the first 'social distancing' episode in human history.  Remember lepers?   Unclean!  Unclean!  Cross on the other side of the street.  Keep them away from all public places.

You can't get leprosy from touching a person with the disease and oh what it would mean for a person like that to feel a human touch.

Wash your hands.  Don't touch your mouth, nose or eyes without washing your hands before and/or after.
My husband grew up part of his early life in Nigeria, he still talks about the lepers there and the impact they had on his young life.
