Dr. David Price of Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City shares information in a Mar. 22 Zoom call with family and friends on empowering and protecting families during the COVID-19 pandemic. He says he wants people to feel more empowered about navigating this pandemic. He is hopeful, and says that if we all FOLLOW THE RULES we should get through this with our health pretty much in tact.
While the SSA does not recommend watching any particular doctor or official over another, we found that Dr. Price’s video was easy to understand, and so we have provided it here for you.

Dr. Price says “COVID is in your community”. He advises that the main form of transmission seems to be from touching the face.
These are his RULES:
Become a Hand-Nazi. Know where your hands are at all times. Keep them clean - wash them or use hand sanitizer after you touch anything.
Work on not touching your face. Become aware of when you touch your face.
*He recommends wearing a mask when you leave the house to insure that you are not touching your face.You don’t need a medical mask. They are primarily to keep your hands from your face.
Distance yourself from others (3’-6’).
Dr. Price goes on to address many aspects of a typical day in the midst of COVID-19. He also talks about what happens if you are living with somebody who has the Corona Virus. He advises what to do, when to go to the hospital and when to stay home. We found his comments enlightening.
