Question 4

when will the country be reopened from lock down?

Accepted Answer

No one knows : No one knows the date, but once the health officials are reasonably confident that there are no new cases of Covid in your area, the lockdown will be lifted.  This will probably be a "regional" thing as opposed to the entire country reopening the same day.  States that have been relatively unaffected will open first, and then other states will slowly follow. Heavily infected areas will open last..

Question 5

can you tell me what kind of reusable bottle is safe for toddlers?

Accepted Answer

New bottles in U.S.: Bottles made and sold in the U.S. are pretty safe, but from time to time, there is updated information about certain materials used in making bottles. New evidence can show potential dangers of certain substances, but it is generally impossible to tell if one particular child will experience any bad effects. Some people feel safer buying new bottles every 2-3 years, and not microwaving bottles.

Accepted Answer

Bacteria harbor: Cosmetic sponges pick up bacteria from your hands, your skin, the environment and (ugh!) your friends if you share them.  They are meant to be disposable as you cannot get them clean b washing them. On kitchen sponges bleach can be used but not w/cosmetic sponges on facial area. If you notice you have a skin/eye infection throw out your makeup &sponges. If increased skin breakouts, toss sponges!
