Hi Seabreeze followers,
This is what was given to us all at work on Monday due to this COVID-19 crisis!
Make sure if your looking for a Masks this is the one to get as it protects us form COVID-19. This is what has been told to our company by the "Government"..
I am a water front worker Stevedore so production must go on is what we all have been told.
Stay safe, keep safe, and lets suppprot our local shops through this tough times!!

But also, any mask or physical boundary (like a handkerchief) can be used to stop transference to and from your hands. Its amazing how often we rub our eyes, nose and mouth without noticing.
Cheapskates!
Suggest some proper facemasks, the 2 types we & our Stevedores/Wharfies use in addition to the disposables are also from 3M. The first one would be cheaper in the long tun than just continuously buying disposable masks.

Good luck finding them.
With the panic buying, most places that sell them have them in lock down, business customers only. Theres good reasons for that too.
I work in a hospital. We are now not allowing any visitors inside. Also, we have implemented a policy for every employee to have their temperature taken daily per shift. We are taking proper precautions at this time as we keep evaluating everything daily. Stay safe as we will get past this.
Let's hope you get an airtight seal around the mask! ... usually that is by far the weakest link ... let alone a fancy filter mask.
Things have changed here tonight at Work!!!!
Fresh P2 mask at start of shift, mine is diesel P95 in the pic as the machines we use in the ships are all diesel, isolation from workmates 4m?, sanitize everthing we touch Cranes Controllers, Crane Cabin, Font End Loaders, Forklifts, Excavators, EWP, Work ute, all power tools, cribroom toilet... every ****en thing that you can possibly think of clean it.
I am waiting on the MSDS to come to us so i know what we are using to clean things down with its a "Spary".
Only tell you all as we all should look out for each other
Cheers Nudie
Clean shaven boy's for a better seal is what we were told as well.
Good REAL information up to the moment here it will scare the beyjasus out of you. .www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/coronacast/
If you don't work in healthcare, you only need to wear a mask if you have symptoms. To prevent it from spreading to others
Here is some info I transcribed from an audio blog that was sent to me from a trusted source. This advice came from doctors treating patients in a Spanish hospital
The measures seemed reasonable to me so I am passing it on, but take it for what it's worth to you. Keep in mind it came from a heavily affected area so the measure may seem more extreme.
Covid 19 advice
The Chinese now understand the behaviour of the Covid 19 virus thanks to autopsies carried out.
The virus is characterised by obstructing the respiratory system with a thick mucus that obstructs the airways and lungs.
To apply medications you have to open and unblock airways for effective treatment, this takes few days. Here are steps you can take to help keep you safe.
1. Drink lots of hot liquids - tea, coffee, soup, warm water. Etc. In addition take a sip of warm water every 20 mins because this keeps your mouth moist and washes any of the virus that enters your mouth into the stomach where the gastric juices will neutralise it before it can get to the lungs
2. Gargle with an anti-sceptic in warm water - like lemon, vinegar or salt, every day if possible
3. The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes. So take a bath or shower when coming in from street, don't sit around first. If you can't wash your clothes every day then hang them out in direct sunlight which also neutralises the virus.
4. Wash metallic surfaces very carefuly as the virus can remain active on them for up to 9 days. Take a note and be vigilant about touching door handles and rails. Keep those surfaces clean regularly at home / work
5. Don't Smoke
6. Wash hands every 20 mins using any soap that foams, do this for 20 seconds and thoroughly.
7. Eat fruits and vegetables, try to elevate your zinc levels not just your vitamin c levels
8. Animals do not spread the virus to people, its person to person transmission
9. Try to avoid getting the common flu, as it will weakens your system. Try to avoid eating and drinking cold things.
10. If you feel any discomfort in your throat or a sore throat coming on, attack it immediately with the above methods. The virus enters the system this way and remains 3 or 4 days before it passes into the lungs.
Good luck, take care and stay safe.
I went the my local Coles supermarket this morning. What possible reason would there be for the check out operators not to be wearing masks?????
I'm not complaining and realise how serious it is.I just can't see how people can avoid all situations where they may get it.
In Europe the different governments are trying to limit the speed of Corona spread in order to avoid a critical overload of the hospitals.
There are some general recommendations regarding Corona, and they are similar for all European countries.
This is from Italy:
Take care and stay safe.
