Ask HN: Do you have Covid-19?
I'm just curious to hear from people who have been confirmed to have Covid-19, and what is has been like for you personally (e.g. your symptoms, family, etc.)
I have also been taking strict measures myself, having only gone out about 3-4 times in the past 3 months and covered my mouth with a cloth-like mask to cover my respiratory holes. Once I return home, I immediately wash my hands. Then I proceed to put the groceries away. And then I re-wash my hands. I've never touched door hands and always have used my shirt. So the two missing items not wiped down are: car door handle and steering wheel. Make sure you get those!
As I've heard, the way most people are being infected is mainly through family and touching their face. The virus just needs to get close enough to get sucked into a nostril. So making yourself aware, with your mask on, is a good way to not touch your face in public.
When you arrive home, as long as you wash your hands for 20 seconds -- feel the oil of the soap on you hands, once you feel that lube, you can rinse off, and touch your face all you want, as long as you don't start touching items from outside the home that you brought in indiscriminately and touch your face. If done by accident, likely not a big deal.
I also know a great deal of people who are NOT doing very well mentally in self-quarantine isolation.
I haven't been able to find any data showing how long Sars-CoV-2 can live on fabric but that could be one vector of potential infection, though it is probably incredibly unlikely.
