Not saying patients, people. Think of this more as OTs supporting a public health initiative. I had a lot of public health integrated into my schooling so its probably that, but health initiatives communicated at a grassroots level (even education on how to manage the current restrictions) is typically more effective than commercials, news, and the internet. People can talk and ask questions, people feel like they could put more trust in your words. Might not work for everyone, but there's probably 30% of people out there that would be like "I didn't know what they meant by xyz" or "Ive been going out every other day and picking up little bits at a time". Unfortunately, we are at a point where a misunderstanding of this can kill people, which is why I think the idea has a bit more weight. Even if 10 people are educated, that could stop 10,000 transmissions. We take our health literacy and how much we understand precautions and transmission for granted. There are some very smart people that are afraid to get groceries because they don't know how to do so safely. The public is invested in their health and well being. I'm not saying we give them a dry lecture but talk about how these things impact decision making in daily life. I'm also in an area being hit very, very hard right now, so things are seeming desperate with people not following social distancing. Does that make better sense?
