Know of a business that is currently making 400 Ltrs of hand sanitizers a day. Can’t make enough.
Its an ill wind that doesn’t do soneone some good.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think ‘Corona Virus’ is a generic term for viruses which, under the microscope, have a crown-like appearance. It doesn’t specifically relate to this one, now named ‘COVID-19’.
You’re absolutely correct, Saggy and nasska! This just shows how a lack of knowledge combined with conspiracy theory type minds can be a dangerous combination.
You are correct. It includes the common cold.
Coronaviruses have been with us for a while. SARS in 2002 to 2004 caused many deaths & it was a coronavirus. The current threat is a strain known as Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),[1][2] formerly known as the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV. (thanks Wikipedia)
Certainly long enough for Lysol to get their info on a can.
(Saggy was quicker but I’ll leave this up)
I was talking to a Chinese friend yesterday who said that a traditional Chinese medicine product is being very effective with this virus. He was not suggesting it was the “magic bullet” but that it was performing as well as , if not better than any pharmaceutical product. A company in Guangzhou is going 24/7 and not keeping up –the Government is pouring millions into it helping increase production.
