    I'm confused. First, they say sunlight has no effect. Now, they say it has.

    Sunlight destroys coronavirus '''very quickly,''' new government tests find, but experts say pandemic could still last through summer

    Tuloy pa rin ang testing sa BGY Luz. Cebu. Will include Sitio Zapatera in the mass testing. Using the military for a forced lockdown...



    APCs seal Cebu village as virus cases surge | Inquirer News

    Barangay Luz is an urban poor village in uptown Cebu City where houses are built close to each other. It is located close to the city’s financial hub. It has been put on a lockdown on April 12 after three residents tested positive of COVID-19. The number of afflicted Zapatera residents ballooned to 135 after 82 more residents tested positive for COVID-19 as of 3 p.m. on Friday. The number was about 85 percent of the total 161 cases in Cebu City.

    Barangay Luz has a population of about 23,000. Some of its residents live in boarding houses and work at the nearby Cebu Business Park and Cebu I.T. Park.

    A lot of researches going on, lots of preliminary results. The keyword is preliminary. Then there is still the ultimate test, the peer-review. Pretty sure a lot of scientists have sent their results for review but no one has the time to do that now.

    "The glove itself is only as good as not touching your face with the glove," Amler said. "So, you know, you can touch things with your hands.

    Health officials say COVID-19 doesn't transmit through skin contact on your hand, but rather when bacteria enters your system through mucous membranes on your body or via respiratory droplets in close proximity.

    "And as long as you've washed your hands or use hand sanitizer afterwards, you've accomplished the same thing," Amler added.

    Does wearing gloves help prevent coronavirus? Here's what doctors say

    Extend for another 2 weeks. Hinde bumababa yun infection rate although flat lang siya at least from single day high of 500+ new infections. If I remember it correctly.

    re sunlight

    let's say may droplets nasa isang surface exposed to direct sunlight... the virus won't last very long

    pero pag may umubo o naghatsing at nalanghap mo, kahit tanghaling tapat, mahahawa ka parin

    sunlight only kills virus that's directly exposed

    but since we spend most of our time indoors at naka aircon...

    re gloves

    so the virus sticks to the gloves instead of your skin

    punta ka supermarket hawak ka cart handle ok

    just don't touch your face

    tapon mo gloves after

    pag habitual face-toucher ka kahit naka gloves ka hawak ka parin sa mukha wala rin

    the logic of the gloves, is that they protect one's hands. and only one's hands.
    if that will prevent the user from touching one's face, well and good.
    everything else is the same.

    Ang critical areas on the face are the mouth, nose & eyes. The mouth & nose are covered by the mask. The eyes, on the other hand, are exposed to rubbing, scratching & droplet exposure. The skin of the face is impervious to viral penetration. Just use common sense & a conscious effort.

    several pages ago i said SARSCOV2 virus is pretty much the perfect virus when it comes to global conquest (highly contagious, long incubation period, doesn't kill all its hosts) and mutations may result in a weaker virus

    researchers actually found a weaker version -- it has weaker binding capability




    SARSCOV2 has very strong affinity to human cells with ACE2 receptor (same as SAR-classic but stronger)

    like velcro

    that's why it's so contagious madali siya dumikit sa cells natin sa nose & throat

    Oops, there goes the pet theory of some tsikot members that squatters are immune from the virus. Busted. Down the drain. Proven BS.

    Two theories busted so far --

    1) Hot weather will stop the virus
    2) Squatters are immune

    Any other theories I missed?
