The same they also the people that have serious underlying medical conditions and are most liable to the virus. Some have suggested this is taking people that are sick with a virus and putting them into the same building as people who are most susceptible to the virus.

Take you so much for joining us today. I want to start with a study from the cdc about how long the virus can survive on surfaces on the cruise ship. Up to 17 days . How worrisome is that in terms of how the virus may spread within the community . I know there is a lot of fear. But clearly the researchers are not leaving anything on turned. I might add that the tests were done before any disinfecting efforts were made. Which shows how effective it was and the amount of activity doesnt necessarily convey in the findings with that impact is. So we know from last week in the nih study that came out what the results about the stability of the virus, on differentin order to have caution to live there people in a household with high risk or vulnerabilities they need to take extra precautions. Place here in california as well as many other places across the country. A lot of people are adhering to that and keeping social distance. But we are also not go out for homes at some point. You to get exercise you to take a walk, you have to go to the supermarket. How much concern should any of us have just passing by people on the street . How much should we be worried about droplets that may be in the air . Thats a great question. Everyone is wondering about that especially as those reports come out on facebook and twitter were people showing pictures. Number one, if you live in the same household, youre not social distancing at home. Those are folks social distance. However when you are Walking Around other people who were not people that you see on a day basis like this you need to keep that social distance. Do everything in your effort to do that. You need to make sure that youre not within that parameter within them. I would urge that concern is good when it is well affirmed. However if youre concerned about bring it home to some of thes high risk or you yourself are high risk you can certainly get fresh air and exercise closer to your home environment.
