That too.

the singapore study didnt look for operational virii, but RNA fragments.

Water also furthers the expected lifespan of the virus itself.

To potentially weeks.

Its worth reading the cruice ship swab studies too. They found the highest probability on bathroom floors, and the second on pillows.

40 something and 30 something.

I saw one interesting case here, where an entire nursing home got infected, yet the staff had observed all rules and regulations.

why would you put your mask back on before washing your hands

They had been sharing bathrooms, however.

Because your mask is contaminated.

Ideally you wouldn't take it off, ever.

@realz the mask you wear into a public restroom is now full of aerosols with virii, if the person before you is sick.

next to your eyes, mouth and nose.

got it

but how is that worse than no mask

it isnt.

OK

its just hanging around in the air in the public rest rooms then

its just that a mask does not protect

yes, once you flush, it gets airborne.

like enterovirii

mmk

It hangs in the air. Anything you smell can be a particle that contains a viral load.

It eventually settles on surfaces.

mhm

so pubs, clubs, hotels and cruice ships become superspreaders.

not subways.

and that is exactly the spread pattern you see.

Portapotties sound like they would be the worst.

irradiate the bathrooms

😛

@realz not a bad suggestion. In infection wards, the air is constantly sucked into UVC-irradiation devices.

I was thinking more like direct lighting but that could work

UV light is surprisingly effective at sterilizing things.

direct UVC is somewhat unpleasant.

It's concentrated unlike sunlight.

but it would make more sense to bathe everything in UVC and make sunglasses mandatory.

haha

I'm sure it's also terrible for your skin.

I was thinking more like when people leave the room

how long does UVC take to work
