    What about the smaller droplets that can be moved by ACs and ventilators that flow within the office. Physical distancing won't help. What are the risks in a confined workspace?

    Looking for specific information about what to do in the workplace if someone tests positive and had frequented/worked in the previous days. Are we to close down or simply "self-monitor" for symptoms?

    Whether N-95 mask helps the traveler at the crowded place e.g., Airport, Train, Bus to prevent or reduce risk of acquiring infection? since the mask is cheap and can be used for 8 hours, can we carry and use such during exposure to crowded places?

      it doesn't matter. it's not enough to know that. if you are going to use a desinfectant you must be sure of its spectrum to viruses. some desinfectants are just bactericides. some target only a portion of viruses. this is why the recommandation is bleech + the right % of bleech/water. see on the WHO website.

      i think i get that you are looking for more environmental-friendly virucides ?? and asking if by any chance acetic acid (alcohol vinegar) could be a good alternative ?? the answer is no.
      if you are curious, please be careful. because here we need to be very precise with what we do. let's not give this Covid-19 the chance 👍🙏
      later on in a few months we will probably turn to more natural alternatives once it is clear they are effective. here it's a public health crisis so let's not risk the overload of our public health systems. let's contain this virus 💪

      @@agedragon289 your statement is flawed! its thanks to china not acting quick enough in the beginning, they were too busy trying to shut doctors up who were trying to tell the world what was going on! only then did china make this internationally known, not because they wanted to but because they had no choice! but that being said, only china is now taking the steps needed to stop this virus in its tracks! and your right, the world ecconomy relises too much on chinese manufacturing, even more reason for each country to be responsible for producing its own medicle stuff en situ!

    I am curious as to the mortality rate of the elderly with pre-existing conditions. Seems to me the numbers are not entirely accurate as most young people show little or no effects but the elderly are the ones to die. In China, 90,000 infected and 3000 deaths, 60,000 of those infected are probably under age 60, so that leaves 3000 deaths for only 30,000 people. Am I wrong?

    • @celinee.9562
      @celinee.9562 4 роки тому +1

      we are not statistics. if you are an elderly and are worried, take responsibilty for your health. be cautious and responsible. avoid big gatherings everytime possible. why do you need to know the precise number ? it's just a statistic. 💪 if an elderly is diagnosed and in bad state chances are improving over time because the chinese pneumologists now have published specific guidelines for improved recovery of severe cases of Covid-19 💪 it is not because someone is an elderly they will necessarily develop a bad case of pneumonia, just because they caught the virus. that's what is important to know. the risk is pneumonia and that's why professional monitoring is needed. take heart ❤️_ 💪 chinese reasearchers are testing treatments that are already licensed, affordable and readily available around the world so yeah. even if the death rate of the severe cases was 15% further amelioration of treatments are on their way. 🙏 honestly we can be grateful for the health system in China. the professionnals there, REALLY made everything they could to help the best they could. they did the impossible. what's the advantage of having a lot of patients to treat ? EXPERIENCE. they have experienced. and are sharing it 🙏🕊️💪👍👍👍
