## Virus Risk Mitigation - Education
Coronavirus transmits successfully through small droplets which float in the air like mist or even smaller droplets, and larger droplets which land on surfaces or skin, eventually coming close to a nose or mouth and being inhaled.

### Respecting Other's Decisions About Risk
Other individuals may have vastly different circumstances than you, in terms of personal health, family health concerns, and living situation. These reasons (and many others) are valid, worth respecting, and a show of support & caring. Please assume distanced air-hugs and waving or elbow bumping instead of shaking hands.

### Cleaning surfaces, ourselves, clothes, & items
**Surfaces** can be cleaned with 70% alcohol solutions, *like ethanol or propanol*, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, soap with water, or prolonged heat and sun exposure. Crevices, droplets, and can harbor virus activity.

**People** may clean themselves by using hand sanitizer or soap to washs hand, jewelery, and accessories.

**Clothes** may be disinfected by running them hot through a dryer for 30 minutes, or in the washing process by the strong detergent soaps used.

**Items** may be cleaned by any of the above methods, paying special mind to finely detailed and frequently touched parts of the item, and other things it contacts.
