Which means, if an infected person touched e.g. a door handle, the virus can be transferred to the hand of the next person who touches it. Hence, wash hands and don't touch your face to help prevent it from getting entry into your body. I mean, it's sorta weird that people need to be given reasons to wash their hands, but hey... Rona isn't one, though. Evidence of fomite transmission is weak at best. This doesn't mean it's impossible, but estimated to be unlikely in the order of 1 in 10,000. You can get some really nasty antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections from **** on surfaces though, so wash your hands despite the small risk of rona infection. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00251-4 Edited July 3, 2021 by 213374U link 3 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Nah, its not weird at all. I am talking about the constant times I am expected to wash my hands if I go to a mall I can understand the normal washing but it becomes repetitive and pointless. And also dont forget we not all like you Spanish people who use powders and fragrances every 5 minutes, remember I have to work during the day "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Zoraptor Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I'd be pretty surprised if they got a working product out of it, getting something like that working in vitro is a whole different kettle of fish to getting it working in vivo. Jolly good for generating funding though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azdeus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 The region I live in opened up vaccines to everyone above 18 at the same time, meaning everyone between 18 and 40 is trying to get a time for vaccination. Everythings booked up for two weeks. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see when I get my actual appointment because of how under resourced we are with vaccines generally and now with this unprecedent looting and burning of shops the supply chain has been severely impacted around the vaccines we have got 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

majestic Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 We have a rule in place when using services, especially when they necessitate close contact, that you need to have a current PCR test, a certified vaccination or a certificate that you were infected in the past six months and recovered, i.e. when going to the barber shop for instance, or the nail salon... I'm pretty sure Bruce will need that vaccination for his dates with the hookers and strippers, so that kinda makes sense... 2 1 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
