My daughter is an ER doctor and these are the 9 things she is advising me to do:

  1. Stay at home!
  2. Wash my hands
  3. Don’t touch my face
  4. Conduct business in Google Hangouts/Skype
  5. Participate in webinars and zoom meetings
  6. Get my flu shot and pneumonia vaccine
  7. Cancel travel plans
  8. Avoid young people who are not socially isolating themselves
  9. Read this article about “flattening the curve” (see link below)

By taking these precautionary steps, the ER will be able to handle real emergencies – very sick patients suffering from life-threatening diseases and COVID-19. Hospitals are not equipped with enough test kits, masks, and PPEs to treat the number of people who will need hospitalization.
