Thinking on your post. I was just wondering. If the alcohol kills the Covid-19 virus, then a high alcohol % in my blood stream could protect me! Another good reason to go to the outrage pub after they cancel our party this week. You all should try similar preventive measures, you know heath comes first. |

You all should try similar preventive measures, you know heath comes first. To kill it you have to get the blood level in your alcohol system down below 40%! |

All nice and all, but a virus is - I learned this yesterday from a virologist - a package of protein with some genetic material in it. It isn't alive! You can't kill it. The function of a virus is to land on a host cell and infect that cell with some RNA. That cell will then produce the virus RNA which will become the eventual virus that will make you sick. But here's the other thing: you have a lot of viruses already in you. Viruses are used in your intestinal tract to keep the bacteria there in check. You have a hundred thousand billion bacteria inside you, and ten times as many viruses to keep those bacteria at bay. |

Did your virologist friend talk about the specific role of soap and ethanol in disrupting the lipid membrane surrounding the coronavirus? |

He wasn't my friend, but someone in a video in the news. And no, he did not talk about soap or where to stick it. Why? |

He wasn't my friend, but someone in a video in the news. And no, he did not talk about soap or where to stick it. Why?British TV has been going on and on (and on) about washing our hands. The virus may not be alive, but it is infectious - and the lipid membrane is a critical part of the infective pathway. Disrupt the lipids, and you don't get infected. Or so our TV pundits say. |

Our institute for health (RIVM) and politicians are going on and on about washing your hands, not shaking hands etc. In the meantime no one in Noord-Brabant is allowed to work in other provinces anymore, or if they had work there, are advised by government and companies to stay at home. We're no longer allowed to fraternize in any way, not meet new people, not socialize with people we already know, all sports gatherings have been canceled or are played without public, know a Noord-Brabander? He's a pariah! If you know me, best put me on ignore before I infect you through my posts! 😂😂🤣🤣 I wonder how long it takes before internet to us is cut... 😬🌹 German chancellor Merkel has uplifting numbers, saying she expects 60 to 70% of her population to get this flu. I sincerely hope that by May we're done with this nonsense, as my vacation is non-refundable. Edit: WHO now calls coronavirus a pandemic |

And there we go. Dutch people are urged to stay at home as much as possible, this rule is for everyone now. If you have a cough, you sneeze, or you have a (slight) fever, you're to quarantine yourself for 14 days. Not visit elderly people. Not visit people who are sick already. All gatherings where 100+ people come have been canceled. Has the Formula One been canceled yet now McLaren decided not to drive? |

Replica seconds behind master 59,870 Not getting better 64,548 seconds behind. Just enough time for me to make a last minute trip to the local pub before they close in 65 minutes and get 2 rounds in. |
