They have not been peer reviewed yet.

Yeah, that's quite a claim to make because there are so many factors.
Italy for instance are known for not washing hands and kissing eachother as a form of greeting.

Someone mentioned a telegram ticker this morning. How do I get in on that?

It may have been @The_Librarian that posted the screenshot of that.

Yet the Hanks contracted it in Oz which is hot - as is the Free State.

You don't know he contracted it in Oz. It could have been in USA weeks ago. Or on the plane flight over.

I used to kiss an Italian. She was also hot.

Have to salute most of the people here. A lot of decent information has come out of it. Like the purpose of washing hands to reduce the potential build up of COVID-19 on your hands.

Wanted to check, how many people here wash the tap before washing their hands?
Just a layer of soap, my thoery is I would rather touch the soap than nothing at all.

Should carry around wet wipe or tissues to open the doors and taps in the restrooms too. Do not use the hand paper provided or those blowers. Perfect way to spread all kinds of nasites.

Got rubbing alcohol or surgical spirits in your bathroom cabinet?
They'll do.

Peroxide with water works just as well.

As they always have been. The trick is to not touch your face or lick your hands and fingers in between touching things and washing them. The same as always.

Cheap vodka?

Brazil is making a move today with +17 cases from a low base. Philippines is passing 50 cases now after a very slow start but first cases of community spread only started a few days ago there.

Edit: ^ oops with regards to climate

Cheap vodka?

Yeah that will kill just about anything

May also work out cheaper than buying the cleaning stuff from chemists, shops etc....

Plus you can drink it if the worst come to pass and you're infected.
