Corona on hard surfaces
« on: April 02, 2020, 04:31:55 pm »
Apparently the virus can live up to 3 days on hard surfaces especially plastics.

To those still working- have you considered the risk  where someone has coughed over a window or a sill, (maybe from indoors through an open window, maybe from outdoors) , and later being sprayed down onto you in the droplets from your water as you scrub it?
Or virus being transferred to your brush then your van?
Do you see it as a risk, and if so how are you guarding against it?

It's a bit early to be drinking I would've thought?

The mental posts usually happen later in the evening when the cheap cider has kicked in.

what's  mental about it??
 I'm not claiming its likely to happen,  just wondered if anyone's looked into it.
And I havn't had a drink for the last 15 years!

I have been cleaning windows for the last three weeks and no ones coughed and if they have a cough they dont come out so most of my customers are abiding to the rules

Have you considered they might be coughing on the sills just before you turn up so that you don't hear them? ;D

Just wait till the drinking really starts; then it gets really funny.

As you leave your home (going through your normal day) before you touch anything think to yourself...... has this been touched By anyone else  in the last 3 days?

Think of the implications of this statement

Mr G started this post to show why we shouldn’t work.... but it gives the case for the exact Opposite

I’m being super careful. New gloves each job, washing/anti-bac hands every time I get in the van. Cleaning door handles, steering wheel, gear stick  etc.  Not posting invoices.
Leave boots in a tray in the porch when I get home, wash keys etc.

Which is why handwashing, or if not available, anti-bac gel, is so important.

And in the government guidelines.

I'm just back for shopping for the auld guy over the road.  I've touched the trolley and all the food that has been touched by the shelf stackers and others before me.

Loaded the shopping into my boot. Anti-bac-gel, and drove to my neighbours; opened his gate, unloaded the shopping, waved at him, closed the gate.

Got home, washed my hands.

No fear, no paranoia, no facemasks, no gloves, just sensible practises laid out by the science-led advice.

its simply not worth bothering your head with IMO........

1.wash hands more frequently
2.wear gloves
3.dont accept tea/coffee off customers
4.try and get your customers to pay online or contactless
5.keep your distance from customers(obviously)

thats it......

It's Friday evening, so I'm expecting some good ones from the Moonhowlers once the Toilet Duck kicks in.

I hope they don't let me down. ;D
