Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

Originally posted by Esther View PostI think if everyone covered their noses and mouths properly when in public with a mask or any covering such as a bandana or homemade mask or scarf, this will definitely help and perhaps could be the safest and quickest way of opening up the economy so far.
Here is an article in The Daily Mail with a study:
Does wearing face masks REALLY prevent coronavirus outbreaks? Data shows countries that imposed compulsory mask-wearing managed to reverse their crises as leading doctors urge Britons to use scarves to make their own.

, . . and regardless of you trying to raise the fog index on the data for Singapore, the data in all countries and cities clearly demonstrate that crowded living and social events are major spread of the COVID 19, and humidity and temperature have no effect on the COVID 19 virus.

If you are clueless about how the number of cases there are over time that's your problem, you need to do some reading. You have cited nothing to support your rambling assertions.
The following site gives detailed discussion on the how the numbers are determined, degree of testing, methods, and accuracy. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavir...BR+ESP+CHN+SGPLast edited by shunyadragon; 05-07-2020, 05:49 AM.

One note on the problem of distancing is North Carolina. Over 60-70% of the cases and fatalities occurs in meat packing plants and extended care facilities. Extended care facilities have the added problem of the vulnerable,

A classic failure of the lack of safe didtancing.

Simple no, but it does reduce the possible spread of the coronavirus by those wearing it.

For Shuny, the NHS study of coronavirus on surfaces
showing temperature and humidity impact the virus.
