Dr. David Price of Weill Cornell Medical Center hospital in New York City provides an empowering message on how to protect your family during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a message of hope from the front line of care. He explains why he is no longer frightened by the novel coronavirus and the disease, COVID-19. He has determined, by working on the front line of patient care, that the spread of the disease happens primarily by having exposure to your hands and then touching your face. He suggests that spread by droplets being breathed in is a much less significant contributor to the spread of the virus. He suggests that all people wear a mask, not to avoid droplets, but to practice not touching your face with your hands. He describes how to thoroughly wash your hands. We explain the long history of disease transmission by being exposed to infection, getting infectious species on our hands, and then touching other people or parts of our body to affect the spread. This process was first described by Ignaz Semmelweis in the 19th century who is considered to be the pioneer of antiseptic procedures.
