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.
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
tanning toilets?
Depends on the concentration, but from what I remember of certain studies like 10-20 seconds?
Depends on the type of course.
Direct sunlight is like 1m-20m.
I think tanning toilets might have a chance at making it big then
😛
Are we colleagues, Maw?
