There is a sure way Socialize During the coronavirus pandemic?

Among the many possibilities COVID-19 has changed American life, the social distancing is to wear under the most difficult for many people. People are social animals, wired to crave touch and interaction. So it is natural that such policies with labor and social distancing careful expanded in many places in the indefinite future, even looking at the well-meaning people to loopholes that allow to be reunited with their loved ones. But there is a sure way of family or friends to see while distancing social guidelines to follow? “There is no magic answer to this question,” says Jason Farley, a professor and a nurse epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and medicine. And ‘the more danger the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention formally recommended that people “to avoid meetings of all sizes outside the family, as [in] the house, parks, restaurants, shops or other everywhere a friend”. This is particularly important for people who are sick; they know or suspect who exposed to COVID-19; They are in a high risk group, such as the elderly or immunocompromised; or live with someone who fits into any of these categories. But you might get scattered and Crown even though they fall into one of these labels. Many people who COVID-19 is developed mild symptoms or none at all. This means you and your loved ones could spread the virus, even if it feels good, says Farley. Moreover, a negative test result you want just so far, because the diagnostic accuracy is not perfect and you could at any time be exposed to the virus. “There’s really no way to predict if you are exposed and tested negative now that you can not test positively for tomorrow,” says Farley. Testing positive for antibodies does not necessarily mean that you are immune to future infections, health officials say. It is updated here with our daily newsletter crown. We reduce wearing a mask, wash your hands regularly and limit trips out any risk of contracting and passing COVID-19, but “we are not able to quantify [how much lower] that lower risk,” says Farley. There are demographic that is really sure COVID-19 people of all ages have become seriously ill and died because of the virus. Given these risks and uncertainties “for the virtually” more responsible option [social] visit says Brandon Brown, an epidemiologist and associate professor at the Center for Healthy Communities at the University of California, Riverside. This will be the case until a vaccine is widespread immunity to lend, and reduce the burden on the health system better test capacity and steady decline in deaths and cases, says Brown. But there are gray areas in a perfect infectious disease model-fighting would all stay at home and socialize with their roommates. But the reality of human existence are chaotic. Palesi injuries social distancing, such as sell-out parties are clearly a bad idea. But there is much gray area. There is some damage in a socially distant walk? If you live alone, you will see a friend? There feed responsibly with the family? There are also the effects on mental health to be taken into account. The isolation can be a heavy toll on mental health, especially for those who already suffer from conditions such as depression and anxiety. Unemployment, separation and COVID 19-pandemic could lead to additional suffering caused about 75,000 “death of” -Those despair about suicide or drug abuse in the United States, according to a recent report. How you weigh that spreads the risk of a fatal infectious disease? To help, some experts advocate an approach to harm reduction for social distancing, an idea to minimize the hinges on the negative consequences of potentially risky behavior. That would mean teaching people how to see their loved ones as safe as possible, rather than tell them no and to hope against detection and human nature contacts they hear. “We were thinking about social distancing that way all-or-nothing,” says Julia Marcus, an assistant professor of population medicine at Harvard Medical School. That was appropriate, was announced as lockdowns for the first time, says Marcus, but drag and mitigation measures, it is impractical not to address the gray area. “People are decisions to meet every day, as the risk of surfing,” says Marcus. “A harm reduction approach would … give them to reduce the risk simply as possible the tools.” While there is disagreement among health experts about how much risk is acceptable, most agree that some forms of sociability are safer than others. Outside seems best that you are in a lot of experts do not know how COVID-19 spreads. But Dr Kelly Elson, director of the Center for Bioethics and Medicine at Northwestern University Science Feinberg School of Medicine, says, shows most of the studies, you have less chance of catching or transmitting the virus outside, wearing a mask and keep your distance from others. Some outdoor interaction types are better than others, says Farley. An outdoor dining where people touch the same utensils or eating from the same container is a higher risk of a socially distant foot, for example. Patricia Rieker, a medical sociologist at Boston University, adds that one-to-one are safer than group meetings. He called a friend to its exterior in the building weekend, but to enter only after wiping their chairs and places them aside and find a way for her friend to enter the common area at 10 meters without their home. They also wore masks. “It took 45 minutes to prepare the safe passage,” says Rieker. “You can not do it all in a way that I would describe spontaneous.” Trust is important is Rieker says he felt his friend to see, because they knew that they took both serious social distancing. This trust is of the utmost importance Rieker says, because seeing anyone right now means that you can own, is exposed to all of their previous brushes with the virus. If someone really trust Rieker says that does not move out of the question to explore with them as long as it is done safely. Although the test is not 100% accurate, he says Rieker two shares before the movement should get tested. Brown says both parties protection in place should be combined for at least two weeks before the family. right to Michelson, and he adds that it is important to ensure “the member of a surrogate family member or friend to protect themselves in a way that is sure to be for you.” In other words, he moved in together, no title other preventive practices to waive diseases. share a bed or close physical contact requires more confidence and make both more risk. Writing in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine on May 8, a group of Boston-based physicians has found that everything is in-person, probably sexual contact with a certain risk of spreading providers COVID-19 health care, leaving you with “little to offer beyond the leadership not to engage in any sexual activity for yourself. ” However, he acknowledged that abstinence is not always a viable option, and found that the virtual sexual activity or physical contact with a live quarantine is safer partners. COVID 19-count environment in all parts of the distribution in the US If you have your heart set on the same socialization, it is up to you is the health guidelines and the specific situation in your area to understand, says Rieker. If you live in a densely populated area, spread rapidly in the crown, it can be difficult or even impossible to find a way to be sure. It ‘important that special attention because in reality for the common good, and to make sure that the minimum number of sick people is social distancing residence. “Stay safe is a multi-layered question of what you do for yourself what you hope other people do for themselves and what they collectively everyone is doing in the community,” says Rieker. “They are forced to think about the greater good.” The limitation of social contact, as difficult as it is, is really an altruistic move. Although, as you might risk having another person take over, you need to consider your actions affect public health and the cost to the person of the healthcare system. This kind of thinking should be the fewest possible risks to accommodate extra motivation, and minimize the risks that you take. This will help bring the crown during the pandemic. “In the short term, everyone gets hurt,” says Brown. “But in the long run, the problems of the pandemic will be better.”
