I use hand sanitizer or wash gloves (while wearing) with soap and water (when I can) to use the same pair gloves. Better than bare hands.
doubtful unless he’s nut Next week, he’s going to announce some info on opening up, not that we are necessary going to open up next week
then you're promoting cross contamination. disposable gloves aren't made for re use. each time youre using soap or sanitizer or whatever to "wash" your gloves, the integrity gets compromised and no it's not better than bare hands. It’s actually easier to keep hands clean than gloves. but that's mainly for people that have good hygiene and are conscious of washing their hands on a regular basis
I love when people wear gloves and then touch all the clean and contaminated surfaces back and forth. Gloves are supposed to protect your hands from being contaminated. Once the gloves are contaminated, you need to be careful what you touch next. Wearing the same gloves everywhere...you might as well not wear gloves..and just wash your hands.
For just about all glove materials washing will accelerate degradation and make the gloves more porous (all are some degree of porous anyway) faster. So, no, what you are doing is not better than bare hands with proper hygiene and sanitation procedures.
Covid19 vaccine for late this year. Legit or "stocks" move? "The scale-up will enable the companies to supply potentially “millions” of vaccine doses by the end of 2020, subject to technical success of the development program and approval by regulatory authorities. Production could be scaled up even further, to “hundreds of millions” of doses in 2021, according to BioNTech and Pfizer." https://www.genengnews.com/news/pfi...al-trial-for-covid-19-mrna-vaccine-candidate/
Im talking about using the gloves for a few hours, then replacing them. They are not going to degrade enough in those few hours where they don't offer protection.
I personally think so, i know about 2 people that had the same exprience. I know that there are some countries that trying to develop and use smell test as indicators, a friend of mine sent me this. https://smelltracker.org/ Knowing their reputation and past exprience working with people from there i'm sure that its a professional tool.
The expected timeline has always been end of year/early next year if we're lucky (for a vaccine), but realistically most everyone is saying "sometime next year for a vaccine, if we're lucky". And no one can state anything by "end of year" when most of these drugs are in pre-clinical trials -- they could just die on the vine. The Pfizer/BioNTech combination is a legitimate combination, but I don't think they even start Phase I trials until later this month or next month. Gilead and remdesivir is ahead of everyone that I know of in that regard, but it's not a vaccine. We should know in the next couple of weeks about their Phase 3 trials. It could flop, too. Despite this, the odds are better we find a treatment than a vaccine anytime soon.
Thanks for the reply. It seems that it is indeed possible to get other flu-like symptoms without fever or cough. In a recent min-cluster among 5 Macs employees that tested positive in Singapore, 1 had no symptoms, 1 had body ache only, 2 had fever and 1 had fever and a sore throat. This thing is basically impossible to detect with any level of confidence without a test
That's very interesting. With problems still getting tests if there is a set of symptoms that can be identified and different from things like the flu this could help determine who needs tests.
One of my friends who had it lost his sense of smell and taste about 4 days after he started getting sick. But my gf just told me she lost her sense of smell and taste a couple days ago. She tested positive for the infection 3 weeks ago and she had recovered the from initial infection. She said she was beginning to feel fatigued again too. She’s going to hopefully see the doctor today or tomorrow. She has been waiting on the results of her 2nd test for more than a week.
SARCov2 is such a dang challenge. Still so many questions. Are these "re-activation" contagious? Was it just false negative (20-30% of the time they are!)? I'm glad the Korean CDC is looking into this... good chance they will provide timely public info about their finding soon.
Everybody who gets the Covid-19 vaccine this year...first you will grow horns, next you will “bah”, and then you will die.
I saw this weekend on MSNBC a nurse who has still been testing positive THIRTY DAYS after first testing positive. WTF.
