and neither is lack of tests

That is why the percentage is inflated and scary

You said swine flu was "caught and contained."

Md

Emergency

ER

@Lidomite ok my bad

And ambulance

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet Any actual news of viable tests?

In Brazil we have SAMU and emergency ambulances with doctors and nurses in and out of the cities

There are tests but they are not specific to corona so there are false positives

But we are not diagnosing most of patients

Who are young and healthy people

Who will have none or few weak symptoms

Thats very irresponsible

That's why the mortality rates are wrongly high

Their could be a shit ton of carriers

I dont believe the official numbers from news media outlets for a second

And sadly no one reasonable talk to the population clearly and honestly

Almost all of them and the World health organization recieve chinese government donations

Old people over 65 that suffers from hypertension and diabetes and use medications are the most vulnerable to the infection

So i dont believe the "official" numbers

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet that doesnt mean young people and healthy cant be carriers

So if you are young but contact old people you should be more careful

That's right and that's why I said this last consideration

But the virus is not spreading like people think and the orientation on washing your hands and avoid close contact to sick people is an all the time measure and not only for the pandemic time

And the washing hands is before eating and manipulating food or after toilet use and contacting other places and people and shared objects

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet its not bad form, but it can also lower the defenses your skin offers

With shit like over use of hand sanitizers

Alcohol in gel doesn't kill bacteria only paralyzes them for some time and doesn't kill all viruses

The application is useful for people that will contact different people and can't wash their hands in between each of them

So keep the álcool in gel for those who need

Idk, we can talk more other time, it's pretty late in here and I'm going to bed. If you guys want, feel free to pin me on conversations around here

I really would like to get a hold of Sargon

And be more par of the community

I've been recently banned from AIU/Devon's channel and feel the need to get into another group

Have a good sleep!

Thanks 😍😘❤️

regular old soap is still the best. @Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet

> When you wash your hands with soap and water, you surround any microorganisms on your skin with soap molecules. The hydrophobic tails of the free-floating soap molecules attempt to evade water; in the process, they wedge themselves into the lipid envelopes of certain microbes and viruses, prying them apart.

For sure, I'm talking about when you can't

And yes, the alcohol in gel could not reach germs if there's oil or whatever makes the surface greasy will need to be washed first or will not be properly desinfected
