I have been asking myself if i should make a post, addressing covid19. I was doubtful. But then again with my background with 30+ y in cellular research i felt that maybe i should
There are a lot of crap out there about this decease, so why not share..
I will mention some of the most erroneous misconceptions that degrade the level of information:
1) Infection through 'touch'
WRONG! There are ABSOLUTELY no vira that can pass human skin!!! (if there was, we would be cooked..) The warning has however still bearing, because you can get virus on your hands, and THEN you infect yourself, next time you touch your OWN face!
Instead of warning against 'touches' the much more important WARNING is:
DO NOT TOUCH YOUR OWN FACE!!!
2) infection from surfaces
Very rarely! most viruses are infection incapable after few seconds on most surfaces, but this has yet to be proven!
3) Animation show several strings of RNA coming from one virus, only one copy resides pr virus, (but that is irrelevant, and in insignificant mistake)
4) Masks protects you
* Masks does not protect you from being infected!
** However: Masks can make you more selfconscious about NOT touching your face!!! In THAT context masks DO make sense!!!
Masks can dampen your sneeze and that is the reason asians wear masks -out of courtesy!
Use Gloves:
* Gloves does not hinder you from touching your face. In that respect they are false secure! But you can actually wear *nitrile-gloves* constantly, because the gloves are much easer to rinse with detergent! IF you do , use olive-oil INSIDE the gloves, or your skin will be damaged! Wash vigorously as soon as you are IN your home! Asap as in EMEDIATELY!!! -Without touching ANYTHING, then remove gloves, and wash hands thoroughly! (2 mins -remember fingertips/ nails)
Cleaning at home with spirits and worse...
* There are NO reasons for cleaning your electronic devises at HOME -unless others than YOU has used them! If they are infectious, you are infected already...
Infections from Food
* There are NO sign of zoonosis with any consumer/ farm animals, or pets. You should be ok eating normal food. Normal kitchen hygiene is also enough IN YOUR OWN PRIVATE KITCHEN!!!
Stay indoor
No you do not have to do that! You can take a walk at the seashore, or in the woods, but dont frequent dence populated areas, unless you must -Buying food is still necessary...
You are welcome to ask specific questions.
