At the time, the only masks available were the disposable types and the N95 used in health facilities and industrial sites. Offices are now regularly spritzed with Lysol 99.9 percent anti-cold/flu virus disinfectant, and floors are mopped with a similar Lysol multi-action disinfectant cleaner. And yet I’m finding out that this manic habit has become pretty common in the time of COVID. As for the traditional prescriptions for staying healthy, there are people who think life is too short to worry about the health risks posed by nicotine and alcohol consumption, or too much sugar, salt, fatty foods and pigging out. We’ll just have to get used to wearing masks, washing hands until they are palsied, spraying Lysol everywhere, and communicating through gadgets with persons just across the room.
