Corona Virus

[Davidson Deac II]

Just found out that my wife may have been exposed to it.  Just found out some idiot that my wife works with came to work today despite already knowing that her husband was on his way to be tested for it.   Hard to imagine that someone would be that stupid.

This post is real low point for this thread and that is truly saying something 

You may want to do some more reading before quickly dismissing something that could benefit you personally.

I'm curious to see what happens when too many people start losing everything they have worked for and collectively say we will take our chances and get back to work......man this is a tough mess.

Then they go to jail and become quarantined anyway.

I'm not sure I understand. Garlic is a *potent* antiviral when properly activated.

A potent in vitro anti-viral. There's very little research (everything I've seen points back to one study involving slightly over 100 people and it involved preventing the common cold) that indicates it's effectiveness as an anti-viral when administered orally.

As for copper, yeah it's well known that copper has antimicrobial properties. That means microbes don't survive well on a copper surface. Wearing a copper bracelet is going to accomplish absolutely nothing on that front.

Copper bracelets help golfers putt better

If your  are regularly touching the copper with your hands your are going to minimize self-contamination via hand to face contact.

Bullshit. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can survive up to 4 hours on a copper surface so how in the hell is regularly touching copper going to minimize anything?

Hint: It won't.

I don't think there has been conclusive results on how long it can survive on copper -  not that I've seen.

Touching copper is going to do absolutely nothing except infect that copper for up to four hours.
