- A few of the CDC's coronavirus tips are particularly important now that grocery hoarding has once again become a problem across the country.
- The good news is that all the essential products recommended by the CDC can be found right now at Amazon.
- Highlights include FDA-authorized Powecom KN95 masks, black AccuMed KN95 masks, and Purell hand sanitizer.
In late October and throughout November, we warned BGR Deals readers that another rush of grocery hoarding was inevitable. Now it's happening across the country. Coronavirus case numbers were still soaring even before the Thanksgiving holiday. Now that so many people gathered for Thanksgiving and cold weather is pushing people inside more often, new COVID-19 case numbers and deaths have skyrocketed to scary new records.
Most of you know what you need to do in order to protect yourself and your family from contracting and spreading COVID-19. Wear a face mask anytime you're outside of your home. Use hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water for more than 20 seconds anytime you touch an object or surface in public, or anytime you touch something that enters your home from the outside. It's really not that difficult. On top of that, there are a few other things you should do — and recently revised coronavirus guidelines on the CDC website list eight things that everyone needs during the coronavirus pandemic.
Specifically, the CDC's site says you should "ensure adequate supplies to support healthy hygiene behaviors. Supplies include soap, water, hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol, paper towels, tissues, disinfectant wipes, masks (as feasible), and no-touch trash cans."
You should absolutely read through all of the CDC's guidelines and pay attention as new updates are published. But those eight things listed by the CDC above are all crucial. With COVID-19 case numbers continuing to soar all across the US, do yourself a favor and stock up now because supermarkets are indeed reporting another wave of grocery hoarding. It hopefully won't be as bad as it was back in March and April, but there's no telling at this point.
Face masks
For higher-risk situations like riding public transportation or being anywhere indoors around other people, you should definitely stock up on Powecom KN95 masks and AccuMed KN95 masks. They're among the only KN95 masks on Amazon that are FDA-authorized, and they were found by NIOSH to filter up to 99.4% of small airborne particles. That's even better than most 3M N95 masks — and you'll also find a surprising 15% discount on AccuMed cup style KN95 masks that filter up to 99.8% of small airborne particles, according to independent lab tests. That means they're just $2.12 each!
