Thanks, I ordered a few.
Glad I could help!

Been thinking about this method of transmission for some time. My current jobsite (like most any standard construction site) has no functional plumbing for workers. A huge upgrade though is we now have an ample number of sinks with high flow water and industrial strength hand-cleaners infused with alcohol.
But a port-a-potty is what is. No matter how careful we all are, escaping the squat pot is not really feasible. I think once one of us on site gets infected, it's off to the races.
I live in a state where the numbers are growing rapidly. One of the subs (who I worked with daily) is now out because his wife has Covid.
Am ready for the battle. I sense it is near.
I can check the box for more co-morbidities than most. Figuring I have a one-in-four chance of checking out. But win or lose, at least I won't have to spray the bottom of my boots with Listerine when I come home after work or squirt the groceries with diluted bleach.
Bring it Covid. Let's see what you're made of you single stranded bat dweller.

This article is kind of a no brainer. Of course the virus was spreading around the world before the "confirmed" cases. Which means since Late-November to mid-March, places like NYC had no measures in place to prevent the spread.
"At the most, 10% of the global population has been exposed to the virus, Balloux estimated."
Ergo, about 765,000,000 people have been infected.

All the best and stay safe! Washing your hands can go a long way, as well as any PPE you might already use. Possibly one of the hardest things is not touching the face, it's really surprising to see how many times we do that in a day.
I recall reading about something similar almost a month ago about the earliest "pneumonia" cases that were spiking in Italy long before Italy was declared a hot-spot. I think the reach of this virus is a lot greater than we currently have data on, hopefully the more information we gather the better equipped we'll be at determining all the features of it.
The virus does not like the open air. So even if it is 12C or 4C (which is supposedly the best for this virus) if the room is well aired every hour even with some infected person(s) around, other people won't get infected.
Airing the rooms once an hour is rather a challenge though, especially if it is cool or cold outside.

The cold and the COVID-19.
The Belo Horizonte civil defense has just issued a low temperature alert for the period from 3:00 PM on May 6 until 12:00 PM on May 10. Among the recommendations are the carrying out of physical activities only with warm clothing and to keep windows open for ventilation to avoid the spread of diseases typical of this time of the year.
They do not mention specifically the COVID-19 virus and the Sars-CoV-2 disease, but it can be inferred in the alert is that this is the biggest concern of city health authorities. I received the alert in a SMS send to my cell phone and I checked its authenticity in the official website of the City Hall:
Do they also advise drinking plenty of hot fluids? (tea, coffee, plain hot water)
I'm interested in more information about that. Do you have a link to a study?
Thank you. I was wondering about HOT liquids in particular. Have you ever heard advice given locally to drink plenty of hot fluids?Yes. Is the first line of the alert: ‘Hidrate-se muito bem!’ means ‘Hydrate yourself very well!’
Cheers.
PS: In the second line it says to avoid bathing with very hot water, because it dry out the skin even more and, if necessary, you must use a body moisturizer.
The last line says: Get medical attention in case of breathing problems.
It is a general warning that one gets in Lithuania "air your room well very hour", along with typical
"wash you hands as often as you can",
"wear a mask" and
"stay at home if you feel any symptoms..."
etc.
I think airing was included among general recommendations for the public rather recently, it is on the list of what to do for European Centre for Decease and Control guidance. For instance, in case of public transport they include such guidance:
"Ensure proper ventilation in the vehicle/wagon/boat at all times. Avoid recirculating air and encourage the use of windows, skylight panels and fans to increase replacement with fresh air. Such measures should be adapted based on local conditions, needs and type of vehicles and other equipment in use"
I don't know exactly which research they base their recommendations on (especially that it has to be aired every hour).
Overall, there are so many research papers published now, it is difficult to follow. Besides, most of the papers are not peer reviewed and some - for the sake of better publicity - create rather alarmist titles, which all weights on people. But inasmuch as a recommendation reaches "to do list" it should be reliable, shouldn't it? In any case, airing your room is good for you, whereas cleaning your hands with sanitiser should be done with a caution not to damage the skin.

Hi Duarte.“Caution and chicken soup do no harm to anyone”.
This is why I feel like I'm in a B-movie or a reality show that isn't getting picked up.One should not forget that nicotine is a drug of abuse (53) responsible for smoking addiction. Smoking has severe pathological consequences and remains a serious danger for health. Yet under controlled settings, Nicotinic agents could provide an efficient treatment for an acute infection such as Covid-19.
However, are the policy makers aware, did they even ask, what percentage of the population that would be?
Well, someone figured it out. If you add all the people over 65, plus everybody under 65 who is obese, has diabetes, has hypertension, is immunosuppressed, has bad asthma or any kind of breathing disorder, kidney or liver disease, is on dialysis, or has any other health condition, that's 1/3 of the population. If they don't go out, don't work, don't go to restaurants and malls, what kind of upsurge in the economy could we possibly see?
Surely that isn't enough.
