Blog 16 - Physical Distancing Strategy - Using available Technology



I wanted to do this as the Virus spreads; I think everyone should make use of the technology that we can use not only for convenience but also for our safety.

First of all, there should be minimal exposure to yourself and people. This goes both ways, protecting others and yourself from any possible exposure to the virus.

1. Get your daily chores done yourself; it includes making coffee or cooking food.
2. Things of everyday use, say groceries order it via delivery apps there are a bunch of them.
3. Get video streaming services.
4. Do Yoga, use health bands to monitor your vitals.
3. Try sticking to a vegetarian diet, no relation with the virus, but, bacteria/viruses grow quickly in meat as compared to vegetables. Try eating freshly cooked food every day. That will build up your immune system.
4. Use humidifiers with camphor oil or Eucalyptus oil to disinfectant the air around you.
5. Work from Home if you are sick or otherwise. Use web-based calling apps.
6. Wash hands with soap and water or use sanitizer. If you want to make your own sanitizer, mix 2:1 parts of 90% Rubbing alcohol to Glycerin as the base, you can add essential oils to it. Don’t add any organic products.
6. Avoid travel in public transport unless very necessary. Use cab services.
7. Follow the news from valid sources. Do not believe in rumours.
8. Don’t take any chances, unless necessary. As they say, DONT BE A HERO!!!
9. Disinfect your Laptops, Phones and other gadgets and maintain a regular point to redo it.
10. Be in touch with people who matter to you. Do WhatsApp calls, use the group calling feature. Don’t use apps that have privacy and data concerns.
11. Follow the World Health Organization's personal hygiene procedures. Like for washing hands, taking a bath, coughing etiquette and so on.
