Secondhand clothing

Secondhand clothes may be cheaper, but they might also come with unexpected surprises, especially with the virus that’s causing COVID-19 going around undetected.

“You should be mindful of things like clothes and handbags,” says Aragona Giuseppe, GP, a medical advisor at Prescription Doctor. Washing your clothes can reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus but “you should ideally be throwing out items that could have particles on them… to ensure that there are no droplets left sitting on any surfaces.”

You don’t want to expose yourself to unnecessary risks, do you? Speaking of exposure, here are 5 Surprising Ways You Might Still Be Exposing Yourself to Coronavirus.

Rented gym equipment

Most gyms around the country are still closed. To keep their business afloat, some are providing equipment rentals to help fitness enthusiasts stay in shape. But if you accept the offer, you might get more than you bargained for. That’s because, according to GAVI, The Vaccine Alliance, there’s a high probability that someone touched the weights or other metal equipment after coughing or sneezing, contaminating them. To make sure you’re safe, don’t use any rental equipment or, if you do take something from the gym home with you, sanitize it before you use it.

  1. It’s quite clear from some of these comments that the pandemic has taught people very little about hygiene. There’s no need to wonder why it is an over yet.

  2. What’s the difference – used items or new items that have been touched by others? Get your groceries delivered? Well, someone had to pick them up and get them ready and then bring them to you! Do you sterilize them before you touch them or let them into your home?

  3. I can understand that there is MUCH that is unknown about the viruxs. What I don,t understand are the people who make “absolute” statements indicating that THEY DO!
    I just read a study by THE United Nations “World Health Organization”, which consists of leading scientists worldwide, that presents newer facts that contradict MANY of the assertions that HAVE BEEN MADE!
    For just ONE example, the WHO’s data documents that the immediate personal “safety zone” is “12 FEET, 10 INCHES!” NOT 6 FEET!
    TAKE YOUR PICK IF YOU WANT… IT’S YOUR LIFE. (IF YOU BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE…..)

  4. very shortsighted. most of these changes are for the better.
    the only thing we will be proud to leave behind is called Trump.
