Logix Bank Burbank Confirmed COVID-19 Case Burbank Branch Temporary Closure #covid19 @LogixFCU

This comes from Logix Bank, apparenty someone at the branch has tested positive.   I was at the branch March 9, so far I am ok, but this is start to hit closer to home, as we start to see others in our community affected by this pandemic.

Dear Logix Member:

We were notified on April 2nd that one of our employees at the Burbank Branch location, 2340 Hollywood Way in Burbank, has tested positive for COVID-19. The employee last worked at this location on March 25th and is currently recovering at home. We have temporarily closed this branch location, but our deposit taking ATMs remain available, along with our Pasadena and Chatsworth branch locations.

 

If you were in our Burbank branch between March 7th and March 25th, we strongly encourage you to follow CDC-recommended self-monitoring guidelines and call your healthcare provider right away if you develop any symptoms. Those Logix team members that were in direct contact with the employee are currently at home under a 14-day self-quarantine, and they continue to be paid during this time.

 

We are following all local and state guidance and taking necessary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. In addition to the precautionary measures we have had in place since February, we are deep-cleaning and sanitizing this branch to prevent any further spread of COVID-19. As soon as the branch has been fully cleaned and sanitized, we intend to reopen this location and continue providing you with the exceptional experience that you expect from Logix. We will be sure to notify you when the branch will reopen, and will post updates on the branch Facebook page.

 

As an essential business providing a vitally important resource to our communities and membership, we remain committed to serving you. Online and mobile banking are available 24/7 at www.lfcu.com or via our app, and our Member Service Center is available at (800) 328-5328 Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, and Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm PT. You can also read our latest blog on how to effectively bank from home by clicking here.

 

As we continue to respond to this evolving pandemic, our focus remains on doing whatever is necessary to safeguard the health and safety of our employees and members, while continuing to support our communities.

 

Thank you.

COVID19 Info and Tips – Helpful Tips on COVID19 Coronavirus – @StanfordMed Stanford University School of Medicine

This is from Hopkins from one of their infectious disease experts.

* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.
* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.
* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).
By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.
* HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.
* Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.
* Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.
* Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.
* NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.
* NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only
-between 3 hours (fabric and porous),
-4 hours (copper and wood)
-24 hours (cardboard),
– 42 hours (metal) and
-72 hours (plastic).
But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.
* The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.
They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.
* UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein. For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.
* The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.
* Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.
* NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.
* LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.
* The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.
* You have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. And when using the bathroom.
* You have to HUMIDIFY HANDS DRY from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.
* Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.
