      Unfortunately it's a health and safety risk situation, to stop people jumping/falling out. Which unfortunately is a problem enough.

And I wish we could have better ventilation.

      Why would they listen? The doctors and nurses aren't the ones paying them. If 100 doctors want the windows to be able to open for health reasons, and a single accountant wants them to be fixed because it will be cheaper, guess which one will happen.

    Air changes are very very important, as an ex hospital engineer it was one of the most important issues we faced. However the more the air is changed the more it costs to condition the incoming and out going air flow.
    Shop and offices are so bad as the more air recycled the cheaper it is. Do not get me going about the Air curtains as you enter buildings :-)

      @@seeibe What's the reasoning behind stagnant air being more risky than moving air? - I thought it was all about viral road in the air, regardless of whether it is moving or not. Generally speaking yes, constantly moving air out of the room will lower the viral load in the air - but the rooms are specious with very high ceilings which means after completely airing out the room the viral load will stay low (at the very least under a certain critical threshold) for a while.

"It's going to get pretty bad" yes, after a while it will be too bad - and 20mins doesn't seem to be a long enough while to do so. Similar to the "how much distance should we keep from other people". Best is to not meet any people at all. Next best is to keep as many meters as physically possible. - But the critical threshold is around 1.5 meters if wearing a mask.

He is at very high risk as he has diseased lungs, scoliosis, spinal cord injury brain injury, also born with a diaphragmatic hernia medium to large & is on a ventilator to support him, I have to say that even though he has been ill for just over a week I’ve still had staff come in of course full PPE & no cross infection has happened thankfully.

      It is something I've heard about recently though.
      It's almost as though the virus is targeting the humanitys reproduction capabilities, wich would make sense since the earth can only support about 3 billion of us, and yet here we are at 7,8 billion still reproducing like crazy slowly turning the entire planet into something akin to a human anthill...

    Stoßlüften means: you open the windows completely, let a real lot of fresh air in and close the windows afterwards. You do this often in the day. This is better than having a window open 2cm all day.
    Querlüften = cross ventilation and letting the air all through the room from one window to the other - you are absolutely correct :-)

      Hi @Skip ads
      Being understanding and compassionate of our human death fears are my personal goals, now and after the current novel virus’s unwelcome and seemingly invisible visits. We humans thrive on understanding and compassion, and so do our societies. To help out in my own small heroine way, here is more information to pass on.
      Here is a rarely read and studied guidebook by high school graduating students and adults.
      brahmakumaris.info/download/Cult%20related/Fallacies.pdf
      This guidebook helps us determine the current level of our critical thinking.
      Here are several books that explain why we humans cause problems for others and ourself due to biological death anxiety.
      fivebooks.com/best-books/fear-of-death-sheldon-solomon/
      Below is a link to a short discussion 👇🏽 that briefly explains why we humans unfortunately and apparently need to have a vague inferior to feel superior over, such as making fun of humans that are naturally and predictably reacting to biological death.
      We even try to avoid catching cold and flu viruses. Why wouldn’t we try to avoid being infected with new viruses that can cause a terrible death, and long term organ damage that need even more money to treat? Why stress out each other even more by putting humans down for reacting proactively with preventative methods?
      ua-cam.com/video/LCJAdFjPcnw/v-deo.html
      When we go deeper into understanding the underlying causes of obesity, reckless drivers and drug use, we can ask how death anxiety and death denying is influencing these, and go from there to help each other out, with understanding this serious influence that is subconscious and conscious and is reacted to constructively and destructively. ( Here is some relevant information about obesity: For adrenal body types, for instance - ua-cam.com/video/Pkoai6HCMcg/v-deo.html. A general description for five body types - ua-cam.com/video/yhf1JAqdeXI/v-deo.html )

    Stoßlüften (that's our 'sharp S' and the Umlaut Ü) is somewhat engrained into germans. It is mentioned in standard rental contracts for apartments as a subsection. However, freshness of air is just one of the reasons (I think): modern german apartment windows all have a 'tilt' position between open and closed. I guess many other countries have that, too, but Americans tend to be fascinated by them. Just randomly search some "American living in Germany" video on YT where almost certainly they will demonstrate how their "overengineered german windows" work (most of the time right after the 'autobahn experience'). The downside of the windows is that people tend to leave them in the tilt position all day long, which is ineffective heating practice for winter time. Therefor you are reminded about Stoßlüften a lot by parents, teachers and landlords, since 'airing out the room' (Stoßlüften) for 5 minutes or so is much better than closed or half open all the time.

      Anyone would have to be a daft idiot to get a test at this point. By doing so you make yourself liable to brutal regulations and fines of up to £10,000 if it comes back positive. Furthermore the false positive rate makes the testing regime 100% useless as explained by this Pfizer scientific advisor ua-cam.com/video/5bwebLohmN4/v-deo.htmlm49s

    Stoßlüften ("bursty" ventilation) means intermittent although quite frequent wide opening of alls doors and windows for a few minutes (roughly 5 minutes), after which the same doors and windows are closed again. Very common practice in private homes, schools and similar establishments. David from Munich.

    The Neanderthal link was definitely interesting. I do want to speak up for many African countries. One reason that these countries have lower rates is that many countries there took the virus seriously, and they had pandemic plans in place because of Ebola. Because they had plans in place, they were easily able to respond to this virus. Many countries were also quite aggressive in their reactions, and closed things down early. These measures, and maybe those that you mentioned, have allowed their numbers to stay low. There is much that the rest of the world could learn from how the continent of Africa handled this outbreak.

      Many African countries did very little testing and they dont have the finances or resources to do lockdown for a long period, check the figures for testing for each African country , secondly the virus is very contagious but its got a low mortality rate.

      That's not what I've been hearing from African correspondents on the BBC World Service. It's true that endemic infections like Ebola but more so HIV mean a certain amount of prior experience and practice is in place, but the low rates are probably due more to a generally young population, Vitamin D and genetic makeup. Things like a ban on alcohol sales have been a disaster, 'lost' PPE and the usual levels of corruption haven't helped.

    I held a variety of office jobs in New York State over about thirty years. I can't remember any of them allowing us to open windows. I assume their concern was the cost of heating or air conditioning. Very short sighted, when you consider the cost of worker sick days and health care! I studied anthropology in college, so your discussion of Neanderthal genes was very interesting! Disappointing though, as I somehow always thought that component of our genetics conferred some advantage... Always a delight to listen to you, doctor!

    I'm sure you have answered this question before, but what amount of vitamin D would you recommend for the average adult? Also, is D3 in pill form adequate?
