Offer your wrist with your fingers curled towards you when someone offers to handshake. Then say something like: Virtual Shake. If you must explain: Smile & Say "I'm not hugging or shaking hands during this pandemic." This will give others the courage to also limit their exposure to the virus in this way.

8. Wipe down your office & home surfaces with a disinfectant to kill the virus.

Quotes from Covid Survivors:

"I wish I hadn't postponed going into the hospital when I was having trouble breathing. I minimized what this disease could do. That was a mistake. Everyone should have a Covid Safe kit with a pulseoximeter (only $35-40 from any drug store), masks, and thermometer. My fevers and migraines were the worst!

Amy, age 38

"I am still recovering from COVID and it's been three weeks. It started with losing my sense of taste and smell. I've never experienced any illness quite like this not even the swine flu. I work out 4x per week and eat right but I still caught it. I was in the hospital for three days with the Swine Flu and even longer with Covid. Do what it takes to stay safe."

Ted D, 53, Northern California
