It’s amazing what they just don’t come up with to protect themselves from infection.
Going to the store without a mask is a risky business. As Finnish scientists have found out, there is a danger of picking up the virus by simply walking where an infected person sneezed three minutes ago. But masks are now in short supply, and a protective suit can only be bought at Aliexpress – you will have to wait three weeks, and the pandemic will end there. People have to get out of the situation, using what is at hand.
Surely this beauty has delighted the visitors of the supermarket very much. After all, it looks great, and protection is one hundred percent – there is both a respirator and a latex suit, which is very easy to disinfect: at home you just get under the shower right in it and soap yourself properly with soap.
But there are also more exotic options. Very often they go out for groceries wearing a plague doctor’s mask – remember, in the Middle Ages, doctors wore such with long beaks? Then they believed that the virus is not able to overcome this very beak. Such masks can even be folded out of paper.
And this Viking thinks that masks are useless if you have a beard and a helmet.
Reenactors and steampunks are now generally not overjoyed: their products are very welcome. All these helmets and chain mail, you see, and protect from the virus.
And some manage to use feminine sanitary pads as a mask. Moreover, it is advised to take those with wings. Otherwise, it is very difficult to stick the pad to the face. Some mothers even stick such “protection” on their children’s faces. It seems that this is the case when even a child would be happy to stay at home. And even dirty socks are used. Apparently, they hope to scare off the virus by smell.
Seriously though, experts advise going to the store wearing a mask and disposable gloves, which must be thrown out after leaving the supermarket. After that, you cannot touch the face – only after washing or at least processing with a sanitizer for at least 20 seconds. Clothes are best with long sleeves, and jackets are made of fabric that can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Better yet, an alcohol napkin.
Try to open the doors with your elbow, and wipe the handle of the basket or trolley with a sanitizer before grabbing it with your hands. Do not buy semi-finished and bulk goods. Pay for purchases with a bank card – the virus can persist on money for several days.
