Covid 19 Prevention discussion ONLY
« on: April 05, 2020, 05:49:10 PM »
I started this topic to discuss COVID-19 PREVENTION ISSUES ONLY

If you want to talk about who started it, who failed to see it coming, who has the cure, how many are going to die, why Jesus Christ is going to come down from the heavens above and just take care of business, fine, just start your own topic.

------------------

Worrying development (and some good news):

https://covidpapers.github.io/posts/stability-of-sars-cov-2-in-different-environmental-conditions/

Quote
This paper also shows that the SARS-CoV-2 can be stable on the inner and outer layer of masks up to 7 days. If it is not used appropriately and/or for long periods or binned inappropriately it could be a serious source of infection

Quote
More on stability of virus causing #COVIDー19. Key points:
<3 hrs paper, <4 d glass, <7 d steel & plastic;
Found on surgical mask on day 7;
Stable across pH 3-10;
Inactivated by heat (5 mins at 70C), bleach, ethanol, povidone‐iodine, benzalkonium chloride


(I will copy and paste some of the more informative posts from other threads in due course).

I spent 4 hours today taking masks & sterile medical gloves from our family stock and passing them out to my elderly neighbors....

I'm fortunate to have such a supply thanks to my oldest daughter, Sister and her 3 daughters all worked in the medical field......2 of my nieces still do

Neighbors asked me how much I wanted, told them nothing and to call if I could be of help

I sincerely with you luck with this thread.

Since viruses cannot be cured, the only thing we can do is stop the spread. That equates to as little human interaction as possible. When science releases an effective vaccine hopefully the disease will be eradicated as efficiently as small pox and polio.

Does anybody have an knowledge of when the peak is actually expected?

I've seen so many charts and predictions that are all different that my eyes glaze over when I see a new one.

It is really going to depend on where you live.

Which peak?  This first one?  I think Apr 16'ish is what I read.

I am not going to say that it is air tight. But it is pretty much air tight.

They have now found tigers with respiratory issues that tested positive for Novel Corona virus, and also have found that Covid 19 can present as pink eye.

Who knows.  Estimates are just estimates based on conditions that are constantly changing.
That doesn't mean you don't make estimates.  You have to for planning purposes. You have to make an informed best guess to predict what you are going to have to be ready for.

Businesses operate on reasonable estimates all day, every day.  If you are not estimating, you are flying blind in pure reaction mode.

I'd wager we'll have two more "peaks" before we get a vaccine caused by multiple attempts of lifting quarantine.  Probably Sept and Jan.  Hopefully each will be less than the previous as people slowly learn the hard way to be careful and hopefully we will have developed some palliative treatments.
