SciShow: Masks? Handwashing? Sanitizer? — How to Protect Yourself from Coronaviruses

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Today, we all do our best to protect ourselves from coronaviruses. But a lot of what people are doing doesn’t really help, and it could take away supplies from those who actually need them. Hank explains what does help, and how it prevents the spread of infection to be successful at protecting yourself as much as possible! Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast!
