#coronavirusmyth #5: Doctors and nurses are adequately protected from COVID-19. In this desperate time, we can’t wait for anyone to protect us (not the government, community leaders, not anybody). We have to protect ourselves. To all first responders & healthcare workers, thank you so much for your service and I urge you to protect yourselves by buying masks online, if your hospitals have a low supply. N95 masks are hard to find but you can find washable, reusable masks with filters online, which give better protection than flimsy surgical masks. Since these masks are made of special fabric that you can wash, it’s reusable and will be helpful when you run out of disposable masks. Your lives are more important than anything. Please take care of yourselves so you can take care of others.

#coronavirusmyth #4: you can’t catch the virus by using elevator. This myth is the one that I have been warning my husband about, even before seeing this article, since he works in a building with many elevators. It just make sense to me that not only elevator buttons are breeding grounds for all kinds of bacteria, but its tight space makes it almost impossible for each person to practice their 6 ft personal space rule. Then there’s the fact of virus droplets linger in the air for 3 hours, which would contaminate someone if they breathe in that air. **
Your best bet is to not take the elevator at all and take the stairs instead. (Well, since gyms are closed, it might be a good way to get your exercise anyway). But if you must take the elevator, at least wait for the next empty one if it looks crowded. And never use your fingers to push those buttons. Use a napkin, a pen, your elbow, or if desperate, put your finger under your garment to shield your knuckle before using it to push the button. I know I’m extreme but better be safe than sorry.

Coronavirus myth #3. Sounds plausible but nope.

The only thing we can do now is to “flatten the curve and spread out the infection time table across six months rather than one or two... to ensure there are enough beds, respirators, and healthcare professionals available for coronavirus patients. Even though this curve flattening approach approach would prolong schools and restaurants closures, it’s our nation’s best joe for saving lives.”

Watch the premiere documentary of chef @aarontekulve this evening (3/29) at 6pm PST (9pm Florida time). Carlo Cristiano of Chef's PNW has been following Aaron and the Surrell team and documenting the life, struggles and journey of the chef, his career and how he celebrates the little things in life because of the influence of his special woman in. Go to www.surrellseattle.com/documentary or by searching on YouTube “chef’s PNW, Aaron Tekuve, Surrell”.

After the viewing join them on Zoom at 7pm PST (10pm Florida time) for a chat and Q&A with the Filmmaker and Chef! More info and Zoom link can be found here www.surrellseattle.com/documentary

Misconceptions about covid-19 are becoming just as contagious as the virus- worsen by people automatically sharing sound bites that come across their screens without vetting them first. **
So I want to start debunking these myths with posts from trusted, vetted sources, so together as communities we could do our best to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Here is #coronavirus Myth 1

Attention to Influencers: please use your platforms to possibly save lives by urging your followers to #stayhome. It’s the best remedy right now. Vietnam (with a population of 97M) quarantined for two months and beat this virus with only 148 cases and ZERO fatality. The US currently has the highest number of infection cases than any other country in the world, even higher than China (with a population of 1.4 BILLION while ours is 331 M). And our numbers keep climbing at an alarming rate.
With a shortage of test kits, ventilators, and protective gears in hospitals across the nation, a sinking economy, an alarming rapid climbing rate of infection cases in the US, and no vaccine in the horizon, I don’t know how it’s possible that our economy will be back to normal by Easter.

Seeing nurses in Mount Sinai hospital in NY use trash bags as a form of personal protective equipment (PPE) breaks my heart.
Please people, if you don’t want to practice social distancing out of fear, then do it out of love- for yourself and others. (Also, beware of Russian bot posts of fake news spreading on social media. Vet everything before you share)

#silverlining 3 amid coronavirus: We are such a fast paced society that we rarely get a chance to stop, examine our lives and think about these deep questions. Perhaps the biggest silver lining from this global crisis is for us human beings to work internally on becoming better spouses, friends, sisters, brothers, daughters, mothers, fathers, neighbors, leaders, citizens, human beings- and have more empathy & love, less hatred for one another.

It is people like @chefjoseandres who give me hope in the world 🙌🙌🙌

#Silverlining 2 amid #coronavirus: No cooking, no lines at the door, no reservations, no dressing up. Support local restaurants and order take outs (most places deliver for free). Here are some of my favorites: @catullos_italian @bluefishjax @thefloridianstaug @bbsrestaurant @empanadas.factory @orsayjax @chefsgardenevents @restaurantdoro

#silverlining 1 amid #coronavirus: we’re celebrating life and our togetherness everyday

Sending love vibes to the people of #Thailand and #Vietnam and all restaurant industry folks there. I spent two months staging in #Bangkok and volunteered in #DaNang, Vietnam every summer for the last 15 years. Like Vietnam, Thailand’s street food and restaurant scene are what make these countries so special. It’s sad and inconceivable to imagine them without these essences. But we are all in this together and we will get through it.

As dismal as corona news around the world is, seeing posts like this gives me hope for humanity. Sometimes, all it takes is for one person to step up and do what we can to help, and not rely on our government to take action @chefjoseandres 🙌🙌🙌

We could learn a lot from my country of Vietnam’s response to COVID-19, a tiny country south of China with 97M people, but with only 76 cases and zero fatality (as of March 19, 2020). Link to read this article in bio. ** For those who said we can’t compare the US pandemic outcome to Vietnam’s ability to successfully contain the virus because Vietnam is a much smaller country, well, let us do the math.
Vietnam has a population of 97M, with 148 cases and no deaths to date.

The US has a population of 331M (3.4 times more than Vietnam) with 81,321 cases with more than 1,000 deaths.
If both countries had the same population, the US would have 16,000% higher infection rate than Vietnam. This is how we can compare the two countries realistically.

Thanks @selenagomez for showing us how to wash our hands correctly. However, I would replace using paper towel with wash cloth to dry your hands afterwards, and use a new clean towel everyday.

Seeing how restaurants around the world are busy with take-outs (like this one that has been slammed with take out orders that they had to put in limitation rules) makes my heart sings. Please continue to support our local restaurants with take-outs as much as you can. Go to @edibleneflorida for an updated list of restaurants who do take-outs in Jax. If you don’t want to get out of the house, see if they deliver or buy gift certificates online

Florida will be next for lock down very soon. Be prepared and stock up what you need today. (Toilet paper still available at CVS and Maple Biscuit Company, both on A1A, or order online Costco)

Life before COVID-19... How surreal it is now

Good luck in finding toilet paper anywhere in Jax, even online. Thank God for @msbcjaxbeach for coming to the rescue. They’re selling their own abundance of toilet paper supply for $.75/roll. Come get some if you need them because I have a feeling we’ll be in lock down for much longer than 2 weeks quarantine. And support them back by buying some take outs or gift cards while you’re there. I love it when our community helps each other out. CVS in Jax Beach (A1A) also has some, and you can order Costco online 30 rolls for $20.

You don’t have to be in the restaurant industry to text them, but you can do it in solidarity with restaurant folks to urge congress to help the industry and its people
