Unpleasant swab will be replaced by the unpleasant sound of snorting and spitting... Paano na yung mga naka bili ng millions na RT-PCR kits?

CECC Spokesperson Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said that throat swabs and saliva tests were conducted simultaneously on 1,226 passengers arriving at Taiwan's airports from July 2 to Aug. 24. Of the 24 virus-carriers identified that day, both tests identified the same 12, but salivaomics detected more of the remaining positive cases than the throat swabs, leading to the change in testing procedures.

Recipients will be asked to cough with their mouths closed and keep them closed for one minute, resulting in the accumulation of saliva, before spitting into the box.

How long does it take for hand sanitizer to kill germs?
Dendy Engelman, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon in New York, calls the wait time “a pretty quick process.” The CDC recommends rubbing your hands together for about 20 seconds after you apply hand sanitizer, allowing the formula to completely dry. The dry time is critical to increasing the efficacy of your hand sanitizer, according to the pros.

When they say hand sanitizer, that's the gel sanitizer, right? Alcohol kasi dries quickly than gel. I wonder if it's the same.

The same, 20 seconds. Apply alcohol to your hands but do not rub vigorously. It won't evaporate as fast.

No mention if it will be an annual affair...

One shot of coronavirus vaccine likely won't be enough

the current flu vaccines are recommended as annual affairs. not because their effectivity wanes fast, but because there are so many strains...
a number of vaccines are recommended as 1-2 affairs.

what may be important at this stage,
is to have an effective vaccine,
so's we may get back to within a semblance of previous-normal.
