No one has ever suffered from it before.

So there as a lot of misinformation about this virus.

So to separate fact from fiction, we asked Dr Oz for some help.

He spoke with our Stephen Fabian.

Let's talk about social distancing.

What does that exactly mean?

Social distancing.

What is the proper distance?

Well, right now I'm too close to you.

So we need to be about six feet away because we both put our arms outs roughly that space.

Okay, that's that's the right amount of distance.

Good reason for that is droplets.

Particles will go from my mouth towards your face.

Naturally, when we talk, we sometimes spit a little bit.

Or if I would sneeze or cough, and so you can't get away faster because it's 90 miles an hour.

When it happens by being further away, the droplets sort of crystallized down towards the ground.

Sporting events and other events that draw large crowds are being canceled.

But what if you have a wedding plant?

Should you go ahead so I would never wanna cancel wedding, but you won't want to keep a little smaller Maybe you're not jumping up and down on each other, and it's to be festive.

It's hard to do that at this time of of our history, but it is important that you continue to toe make decisions not based in fear, but based in conference will.

Get through this.

I gotta say, for most events, you really want to celebrate right now.

Is it worth the laying a little bit?

Maybe Have a civil ceremony for a marriage certainly would cancel other, more elective events.

I think by the time that someone comes around, it's gonna be a whole different world.

It's nice, tough summer weddings, Dr Oz reiterated.

What we now all know the importance of washing your hands, how much of an impact cannot have at this point.

And Washington how important.

Hand washing a 50% reduction of virus transmission.

Some of the studies I've seen if you do it the right way, but that means a couple things 1st 20 seconds is important, but it's what you do to your 20 seconds that also matters.

So get your hands soapy water and then you've got to actually get the fingertips clean.

So in surgery, we actually are taught this.

You rubbed your fingers together.

We call this a Turkish twist, twist you into it.

But by doing that, you rub the fingers into the palms, you clean the tips, then you get the thumb separately because you've got opposing digits.

And then finally, you gotta grease the palm.

That little maneuver, which takes about 20 seconds.

You got five seconds on each side allows your fingertips to be clean.

So if inadvertently touch your eye, which we do all the time.

Subconsciously, unconsciously, it doesn't contaminate you.

How long do you see this crisis lasting?

I think he's best, estimates joon until the current crisis passes.

It is a new normal in some ways and that we're gonna no longer shake hands will be fist pumping or elbow touching.

And there's some other behaviors.

I think we should have changed anyway, like the willingness to muscle through a cold or flu and go expose others to it.

But I think this the restrictions you see now are gonna be in place for very long.

But thankfully will know which ones are important, which ones aren't, and by the early summer will be through.

This will be okay for a couple months beyond medicines advancing.

And then next fall, we're going another version of this that hits us.

Hopefully a little less aggressively, and we'll have our arms around it.

But for the rest of our lives, we're going to have a krone virus in circulation.
