A Covid-alarmist group has been mocked for advocating face masks in the living room and flushing the toilet with the lid down.
OzSage, a group of health experts formed during the pandemic, has published a 10-step plan to reduce the risk of the virus being transmitted in the home.
The alarmist group includes Kirby Institute researcher Raina MacIntyre but not all doctors and medical professions are convinced about the long list of advice, which also includes sealing doors and panic buying two weeks’ worth of groceries.

With Omicron case numbers continuing to increase in the tens of thousands everyday, residents are advised to wear a face mask in the living room.
‘Wear masks in common areas during high transmission periods,’ it said in point two.
‘Research shows you need to wear masks before symptom onset to preventing transmission at home.’
The group also advocates sealing under doors.
‘Seal gaps under bedroom doors (and front door if you live in an apartment),’ it said.
‘Adhesive door draft stoppers can be purchased cheaply online.’
In point seven, residents are told to open the bathroom windows and flush the toilet with the lid down.

Paediatrician Fiona Russell, a senior principal research fellow with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, slammed the group’s alarmist rhetoric.
‘The 10-point plan recommends putting the toilet seat down before flushing,’ she tweeted.
‘I’ve been working on that for 20 years and even threats of death by Omicron hasn’t change that.
‘I would like to know the evidence about preventing covid by toilet spray.
‘In 2020 it was washing vegies with soap.’
Despite supermarket shelves being cleared, OzSage selfishly advocates buying two weeks’ worth of medical supplies, food and groceries.
