Wristband RFID Sensor to Prevent Touching Face

03/22/2020 10:21 AM

Is anyone aware of familiar with a rfid/sensor that can be worn on the wrist and either vibrates or makes a sound when you raise a hand to touch your face? This could be an effective way of reducing COVID-19 infections

I think the problem is more contact with infected people than touching your face....so everyone needs a sensor that senses other people under 6 ft(2 M) distance...

Ahhh the numbrella umbrella....

When you've gone too far....

...you become Bubble Boy....

Maybe we could set up disinfecting spray paths all over the city....

Indonesia spraying passengers from Wuhan...haha

Oncore! Oncore! ok ok...

I sure hope you're right on the face touching. There is no way I can avoid touching my face! I've done it at least five times just while reading and replying to this post!

I AM washing my hands more frequently and more thoroughly than I used to...

I'm thinking the most important thing is washing your hands well after being outside and touching surfaces other people have touched.

Wouldn't a face mask keep you from touching your face?

...Except that in my experience, plastic face shields and goggles rapidly get scratched/fogged/dirty/distorted, and definitely reduce visibility.

I also dislike using any ordinary breathing filter, because of the heat they trap.

These are only $4-5.00 ...so you can afford to have a new one every week...and I would think the face mask is optional if you are covering the entire head...
