1. Corona Virus

What are coronaviruses?

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that can cause illness in animals and
humans. Some coronaviruses commonly circulate in the United States and usually cause
upper respiratory symptoms such as cough or runny nose, although some can cause more
serious illness. The 2019 novel (new) coronavirus causes the illness coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19)

What is COVID-19?

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease that was identified in Wuhan,


China, and is now being spread throughout the world. People are encouraged to take
common sense precautions to prevent the spread of all infectious diseases, including
COVID-19.  

a. Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds at a time.
b. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
c. Avoid close contact with people who are ill.
d. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
e. Do not reuse tissue after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.
f. Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched

How does COVID-19 spread?

Coronaviruses like COVID-19 are most often spread through the air by
coughing or sneezing, through close personal contact (including touching and shaking
hands) or through touching your nose, mouth or eyes before washing your hands.
Learn more from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about how
COVID-19 spreads and how to protect yourself and your community from getting and
spreading respiratory illnesses. 

Exposure and symptoms

Symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough and shortness of breath. Symptoms


may appear 2-14 days after exposure. If you think you may have been exposed to
COVID-19 and develop symptoms, you may need to seek medical attention. Call your
local health department for further guidance. Before going to a health care provider,
clinic, hospital or emergency room, call ahead to describe your symptoms and how
you may have been exposed to the virus. 
2. How To Make Handsanitizer

How to make your own hand sanitizer: List of ingredients

A hand sanitizer consists of a pretty basic formula, and it's easy to make your
own at home if your local pharmacy or retailer is running low. These are the
ingredients you'll need:

a. 2/3 cup 99% isopropyl alcohol. You can find isopropyl alcohol at any
drugstore or pharmacy if it's out of stock at Amazon. A 16oz bottle is available
for $6, and you'll be able to make a lot of hand sanitizer with that.
b. 1/3 cup 92% aloe vera gel. You need to mix the isopropyl alcohol with
something, because on its own it will burn your hands. The ideal solution is
aloe vera gel as it acts as a natural moisturizer.
c. 8 - 10 drops of essential oils. If you need to add some fragrance to the mix,
pick up a pack of essential oils. This isn't needed, but most pocket hand
sanitizers these days have some fragrance, and if you're used to the smell, it
doesn't cost much to pick up a few essential oils.
d. Bowl and spoon to mix it all together.
e. A basic funnel to get your hand sanitizer into a bottle.
f. Plastic travel bottles for storing the hand sanitizer. Once you get your hand
sanitizer ready, you'll need bottles to carry it in. You can get a set of 25 2oz
bottles for $16, and they come with a flip top that makes it easy to squeeze
out the hand sanitizer. If you're making hand sanitizer for home use, you can
get a six-pack of 8oz bottles for just $10.
g. Nitrile gloves so you don't burn your hands when making the hand sanitizer.

How to make the most effective hand sanitizer at home


Before you start making your own hand sanitizer at home, there is a very
important point to note. Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable and will burn your
skin should it come into direct contact with your hands. I recommend using nitrile
gloves as a general precaution. Once you're ready to get started, here's what you
need to do:
a. Pour the isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel into the bowl. As hand sanitizers
need to contain at least 60% alcohol to be effective, you should ideally
maintain a 2:1 ratio of isopropyl alcohol to aloe vera gel. For every 4oz of
isopropyl alcohol you add, you should mix 2oz of aloe vera gel.
b. Add essential oils to the mix if needed. You don't necessarily need essential
oils, but if you like a particular smell, you can add a few drops of oil.
c. Stir the ingredients together with a spoon and pour them into plastic bottles
using a funnel. Your hand sanitizer is ready to go.
