With Upside down, Keep Outside Out Makes Sense

Implement this home safety process to make your home a safer haven.

In this time of upheaval with the novella (unknown) coronavirus, many things are changing.

We know that this is a breathing disease.

Why then the run on toilet paper?

And loss of control is reportedly the reason there is a run on toilet paper. And as nonsensical as this behavior may seem, emotionally, it makes sense.

Let’s talk about a big one – the elephant in the room, per se.

With the world seemingly turning upside down, let’s keep outside, out.

To continue, we go out into the public to gather goods and materials.

We are put into a very vulnerable position, as the breathing disease is not traceable and easily shared by the innocent unknowingly.

Sure, we can have social distancing, to help with this breathing disease. And we now wash your hands and don’t touch our face.

However, we go into the public, the clothes you wear and the skin that is exposed likely catches and holds onto the particles that cause the breathing disease.

Touch your clothes, touch your face, grrrrrr.

Keep Outside, Out

This breathing disease can hang around a while (like days).

Consider changing your perspective and designating a quarantine/transition area to your living area.

This zone is where you transition from public “contamination” to home and feeling safe.

How our family’s decontamination process.

1) Go in through the garage

2) Take any public exposed clothes and
A) Put them in a pile to reuse when you go out again
B) Put them in a bucket to be washed
C) Minimum clothes to include wearing socks

3) We walk through the washroom, so we dump clothes straight into the washing machine.

4) Then go straight to the bathroom
A) Put remaining outside clothes into the bucket/container
B) Take a shower and wash down, especially hair, face, and exposed skin.
C) Then put on “inside clothes.”
D) Take the bucket of clothes and put them in the washer.

5) Wash clothes

6) Wash hands

Yes, it is a bit crazy.

Will it eliminate it? Nope. Will we minimize it, Yep.

It is called risk management. And you can perhaps feel safer in the area you are now spending the most time.
