Yesterday a friend called the FEHBlog’s attention this 56 minute long video of pulmonologist “Dr. David Price of Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City sharing information in a Mar. 22 Zoom call with family and friends on empowering and protecting families during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The FEHBlog watched the video this morning. Dr. Price engages in a monologue for the first 30 minutes. In the monologue he beautifully ties together all of the government’s current guidance on how to deal with COVID-19. Dr. Price answers questions in the last 26 minutes. It’s worth watching if you haven’t already seen it.

For example, Dr. Price explains that the likeliest path to catching COVID-19 is to touch an infected person or object and then touch your face. That’s why it’s important to clean your hands frequently and not touch your face. Dr. Price explained that the COVID-19 virus is a wimp that virtually all disinfectants can kill. He said a drop of Purell would do the trick. He explained that the principal purpose of a cloth face mask is to protect your face from unprotected touching by your own hands, which makes sense.
