Airport hygiene tips to follow

Image
For others, it's more than a necessity to fly, it's a hobby, or better yet, a passion. Hell, I have seen individuals leave employment and accept traveling as a full-time occupation. Well, instead of debating stuff across a wide variety of dimensions, we are not talking about those overly inspired travel bloggers. How can one not connect travel to airports? Anything from boarding to seating is something to fall in love with, an ever busy rustle and bustle of lounges, emotional goodbyes at departure, and happy tears at arrivals, but there are also other things that are mostly overlooked by us. In airport facilities, germ hotspots are prevalent and we don't even think about them, so that's what makes it so risky. It is much easier to combat something we see and understand than to battle an invisible colony of bacteria that are waiting everywhere for the right chance to strike. We need to follow those hygiene tips in order to safeguard ourselves. Maintain hand hygiene...

Covid-19: Keeping your phones clean

Image
Your phone is not exempt from Covid-19's widespread disturbing effects, so exactly how do you intend to keep it clean? People around the world are quite aware of the infectious Covid-19's presence and contagious nature, but they are still not doing enough to stop the virus in its tracks. There is probably little that the general public can do to reduce this disease's virulence, but this does not mean that we can avoid making efforts. Efforts such as washing your hands for 20 seconds with bar soap and water regularly during the day, as suggested by disease control and prevention centers (CDC) are saving lives for many. Collective Efforts It is the power of collective efforts that has helped us successfully develop vaccines that are almost 95 percent effective, and it will help us fight this virus through the power of collective effort and faith. And how does your phone come into action, exactly? How does your cellular system help to spread the virus and how do you keep...

Taking care of surgical wound infections

Image
How many times have we had to see someone die of a surgery gone wrong but have we ever given it a thought that even after a successful surgery, surgical wound infection may make matters worse? For those of you who don’t know, microorganisms are everywhere and we can’t see with our naked eyes even if we were to look for them with complete attention because these are microscopic beings and are completely hidden in plain sight. The only way to see them is under a compound microscope and that means we have no fighting chance against them if we were to rely on our bare hands. However, with these same hands we can take steps through which we can, not only protect ourselves but also our loved ones. The prevalence of microorganisms in a surgery is a given and that is why sterilization of a hospital and specially operating theaters is so much focused. If surgeons and the staff lets go of sterilization protocols, patients may die more quickly of the infection then of the trauma or reason of ...

COVID-19 can be transmitted via different surfaces that are contaminated with the droplets from an infected person and therefore researchers have displayed signs of concern over coronavirus being spread via shoes and clothes A catastrophe The world went in to frenzy when researchers concluded after doing an extensive research experiment that the novel coronavirus can live on different surfaces for even days. For people around the globe that were already terrified of the havoc wreaking pandemic, it was another thing to be afraid of. Up until then people believed that they can save themselves via wearing masks and not going out  or by cutting off all interactions but when this study came to light, a wave of fear ran among the general population now worried that even touching the wrong surface can land them into unaccounted trouble. Ways of contracting virus For those of you who don’t know, the novel coronavirus mainly transmits via person to person by droplets that dispers...
