The faucet may have the same germs you started with! Use a tissue or paper towel to turn it off once your hands are clean. You don’t want to begin again, do you? How hard do I have to scrub? Most people don’t rub vigorously enough, said Barbara Smith, a nurse epidemiologist and infection prevention specialist at Mount Sinai Health Systems in New York. When you wash your hands, you are using soap and water to physically dislodge germs from your skin and then rinse them away. Do I really have to dry my hands all the way? Most people don’t dry thoroughly enough. Germs love moisture. And don’t be afraid to use a little force here too: You are physically removing whatever germs remain.

Bruce Aylward of the WHO told The New York Times last week that “mild” cases in China were not necessarily like a mild cold. ″‘Mild’ was a positive test, fever, cough ― maybe even pneumonia, but not needing oxygen,” he explained. ”‘Severe’ was breathing rate up and oxygen saturation down, so needing oxygen or a ventilator. "Critical’ was respiratory failure or multi-organ failure.” _____________________ The New York Times Science & Health Reporter Donald McNeil https://www.nytimes.com/by/donald-g-mcneil-jr stated that he regretted using the term "Mild" in an earlier article from Feb. as the definition is broader and to include "pneumonia, but not needing oxygen,”. Basically walking pneumonia. Cambridge Journals - COVID 19 Journals 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please everyone, rather than spread misinformation abut this virus, get your facts from the CDC or Johns Hopkins University, The CDC site is constantly u[dated and they have links to other reputable sites. JHU worldwide statistics and news that is trustworthy because they have affiliations with hospitals, clinics and universities all over the world. I also urge everyone while they are sitting at home to read about the Spanish Flu of 1918 thru early 1920. While times are certainly different today, there are some parallels. Then was wartime without the communication we have today. My grandmother was a nurse during that pandemic and I still remember some of her stories about people being brought to the hospital and dying within hours. Which part is incorrect? This is straight from the CDC: On February 11, 2020 the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is causing the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak, first identified in Wuhan China. The new name of this disease is coronavirus disease 2019, abbreviated as COVID-19. In COVID-19, ‘CO’ stands for ‘corona,’ ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ and ‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV”. There are many types of human coronaviruses including some that commonly cause mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses. COVID-19 is a new disease, caused be a novel (or new) coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans. The name of this disease was selected following the World Health Organization (WHO) best practiceexternal icon for naming of new human infectious diseases. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html There’s more here. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/summary.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said deaths generally lag behind other aspects of the outbreak such as new cases and hospitalizations. After this week, the U.S. should see the “beginning of a turnaround,” Fauci said. “Now is not the time to pull back at all. It’s the time to intensify,” he said of mitigation efforts. "The success or failure of that rolling re-entry program, as I call it, would be the capability of being able to" test. identify. isolate. get someone who is infected out of circulation. do a degree of contact tracing. "The absolute thing that you would need is to be able to respond and contain whatever rebound you get so that you don't wind up in a situation where you have another escalation." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2020 European countries have used a combination of lockdowns, public health guidance, tests and contact tracing to beat back the virus. Large parts of Europe have begun reopening, including schools, so far without sparking major new outbreaks. The U.S. response has been more scattered and less successful. “Government efforts to inform the public about the pandemic have been a colossal failure, which means that most people are hearing mixed and muffled messages about what to do,” Jonathan Bernstein, a political scientist and Bloomberg Opinion columnist, wrote this week. “It’s not surprising that a lot of folks are believing misinformation as a result, and others are just throwing up their hands.” Donald McNeil, who covers infectious diseases for The Times, points out that the U.S. states hit hardest and earliest by the virus, like New York and New Jersey, have followed a path similar to Europe’s: a terrible peak, followed by an aggressive response and falling caseloads. “But I think a lot of states reopened pretty willy-nilly after pressure from small businesses and citizens who were out of work and frustrated by lockdown and who had not seen the virus hit anyone they knew yet,” Donald told us. “A lot of those states — Texas, Florida, Arizona, North and South Carolina, etc. — are now seeing cases and hospitalizations rise.” On Tuesday, Arizona, Florida and Texas all reported their largest one-day increases in new cases. The combined death count in those 16 European countries (about 121,000) remains higher than in the U.S. (about 117,000). But at the current pace, the U.S. toll will be higher by next week. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2020 Can AC Spread the Coronavirus? Exact risk is unknown, but it’s a good moment to make sure ventilation systems are working well. James Hamblin June 24, 2020 “In a high-functioning building with a well-conditioned HVAC, you shouldn’t expect that there would be spread between different rooms,” Krystal Pollitt, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health, told me. But that’s only if things are up to code and working properly." "Without more stringent government protections, the best you can do while traveling is look for third-party certifications such as LEED or WELL. Buildings that have gone through those certification processes are guaranteed to have ventilation systems that go well beyond the typical standards." theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/06/is-air-conditioning-safe-pandemic/ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 24, 2020 Protect yourself and others in Public from the spread COVID-19 "We will only gain control over COVID-19 by disciplined public health measures and eventually a vaccine." ~Admiral.Brett Giroir, MD.| Asst. Health Secretary Avoid going to crowded places. Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources "The act of removing microbes from your hands comes from a combination of scrubbing water and soap. You know how people are asked to wash their hands for 20 seconds or to sing “Happy Birthday” [twice]? … You wouldn’t have to do that if the soap was killing the virus like a hand sanitizer, which is killing microbes. The act of washing hands is really about scrubbing—that mechanical force of removing whatever is on your hands." .................................................. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 6, 2020 Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality How does mortality differ across countries? This page was last updated on Monday, October 5, 2020 at 3:00 AM EDT. One of the most important ways to measure the burden of COVID-19 is mortality. Countries throughout the world have reported very different case fatality ratios – the number of deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases. Differences in mortality numbers can be caused by: Differences in the number of people tested: With more testing, more people with milder cases are identified. This lowers the case-fatality ratio. Demographics: For example, mortality tends to be higher in older populations. Characteristics of the healthcare system: For example, mortality may rise as hospitals become overwhelmed and have fewer resources. Other factors, many of which remain unknown. _________________________________________________________ Q&A: Influenza and COVID-19 - similarities and differences 17 March 2020 | Q&A who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/question-and-answers-hub/q-a-detail/q-a-similarities-and-differences-covid-19-and-influenza#:~:text=Mortality for COVID-19,quality of health care. ___________ https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
