Re: Coronavirus - Covid-19 - Safe Detailing?
•Lots of unknown dangers out there; lurking...
*************************************
•If I were to want my vehicles cleaned up (from
being exposed to a bio-hazard such as Covid-19)
by some entity other than myself...
-I would require proof that the detailing business/
detailing personnel to have had, at the minimum,
up-to-date OSHA approved training in areas such
as: PPE, Bio-hazards, Blood-Borne Pathogens, etc.
{I consider this as another means of protecting
myself from that other type of unknown danger.}
•There are businesses whose personnel
have been fully trained, qualified, and
certified to perform biohazard clean up
in my area of the Country. Is yours?
-If not:
Folks interested in obtaining credentials for
bio-hazard remediation can go to OSHA’s
website for further information.
•Some of the training’s highlights:
-PPE/Protective gear (face mask, nitrile gloves
doubled-up, disposable apron and cap, etc.)
-Proper use of chemicals for bio-hazard cleanups
-Use of Red Bio-hazard Bags for disposal of
all the protective equipment and materials
used for these cleanups
-Contact #’s of the proper local authorities
for pick-up/disposal of Bio-hazards.
•Believe me...It’s a serious undertaking:
-But don’t EVER expose yourself to any
unknown dangers!
Just some well intended thoughts.

Re: Coronavirus - Covid-19 - Safe Detailing?
It looks like I have a completely different take on this than most everyone else:
This appears to me to be a strain of the flu that is only a bit more dangerous because it includes a symptom (lung inflammation) that can be more serious, including more fateful, than the normal flu. I just don't think it demands the level of fear we're all giving it.
Look, I don't WANT to get sick with anything. I've had the flu, and it certainly isn't pleasant. But once I've had a particular strain of a flu, my immunity to that strain is quite high. I don't WANT to get Covid 19, but if I do, I'll deal with the symptoms, and understand I will be a bit more bullet proof to its return.
Please note, this is MY view on the topic, and for those who have a different view, I respect that. But I'm just not going to change my life (more than I am being forced to) for this.

Based on the statistics, COVID-19 has up to 30X+ the mortality rate vs. "seasonal flu".
But once I've had a particular strain of a flu, my immunity to that strain is quite high. I don't WANT to get Covid 19, but if I do, I'll deal with the symptoms, and understand I will be a bit more bullet proof to its return.
Note that your acquired immunity to a "particular strain" of flu is only for that strain and then only if it's an exact DNA match. Viruses constantly mutate and, for example, the H3N2 strain that might have been common one year may come back again but in a mutated form and then your immunity goes out the window.
As for this SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, there is no guarantee that one will acquire immunity post-COVID-19. Already it has been found that there are at least two types, Type L & Type S, so it is mutating (as all viruses do to survive).

Re: Coronavirus - Covid-19 - Safe Detailing?
Note to all : Anti-bacterial cleaners/products have ZERO effectiveness against viruses. 70% (min.) alcohol solutions, bleach solutions, and EPA-registered household disinfectants (ex. Lysol) are what will do the trick.
Hand washing with antibacterial soap does not kill a virus. The protection it (hopefully) provides is that you wash away the viral matter from your hands which in turn will keep you from spreading it to your mouth, nose, or eyes.
That last part is key. Keeping your hands away from your mouth, nose, and eyes is probably the most important thing you can do right now.

If you have parents that are still living or grandparents your selfish views on this virus might change. Thank God it's not affecting children as much, but seniors need to be extra cautious.

Re: Coronavirus - Covid-19 - Safe Detailing?
Gloves and masks are a must IMHO. Mike had said numerous time... if its on you then its in you. I took Mike's advice to heart.
I made a mistake of ordering the wrong masks last year. I meant to get N91 but got N95 instead. I eventually forgot about them and left them in the garage. I am so glad I made that mistake now.
I was doing a clients vehicle at his house about a week ago and I took them with me. It actually made him feel more comfortable knowing I had the N95 mask on since he has small children in the house . He was willing to buy any extra masks off me. LOL

Interesting read on ozone and the impact on coronavirus-SARS
Ozone'''s Effectiveness in Killing SARS Coronavirus Leads to Theory on COVID-19
I also watched this Scotty Kilmer video that talked about why ozone is a good defense.
