Coronavirus and Sick Days (0:50:36)

 

Ever since the Coronavirus broke loose, we’ve seen people respond in a variety of ways. Many in hysteria have made a mad dash to places like Costco to stock up on toilet paper and water. Others have ordered mass amounts of face masks, which the surgeon general told people to stop buying for the sake of sick hospital patients. None of these items are likely to protect you from the virus, but all health professionals can concur that the best things you can do to stay safe are wash your hands, don’t touch your face and most importantly... stay home if you’re sick. But what about the people who can’t afford to take a sick day? Here to share her thoughts on the subject is Alex Baptiste of the National Partnership for Women and Families.

We’re talking with Michelle Lindsay about how we can spend less time on our hair. Michelle is a hair stylist, color expert, and an instructor for L’oreal Professionnel.
