Is a virus ever alive?

The following is from Irene Ken physician, whose daughter is an Asst. Prof in infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University, quite informative.

* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.

* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).

By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.

* HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 77 degrees Fahrenheit for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.

* Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

* Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.

* Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.

* NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.

* NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only
-between 3 hours (fabric and porous),
-4 hours (copper and wood)
-24 hours (cardboard),
- 42 hours (metal) and
-72 hours (plastic).

But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.

* The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.

They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

* UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein. For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.

* The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.

* Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.

* NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.

* LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.

* The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.

* You have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. And when using the bathroom.

* You have to Moisturize dry hands from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.

* Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.

The virus is awful but the long term damage is more than just damage to people. There are two links that talks about how the virus is changing the minds of people. The first one is about the young people of China that have only known the good years and how they are not happy about the good times may come to an end. The second one is about how other countries are thinking about going the exit route like UK just did. There is an article not listed below from India about the migrant workers that are out of work due to the lock down of 1.3 billion people. If they get back to their country they will have to walk and if they make it home they will just starve because there is no food there. If China and the European Commonwealth have unhappy people to deal with who knows how that would turn out. Yes the COVID-19 patient load is growing and growing but the aftermath is a huge unknown that could potentially be very destabilizing for years to come.

Sounds like some of of you are finding all the bad news irritating. You need to turn it off and do something else like work on your tractor. :thumbsup:

I worked on mine today.

 

[Steppenwolfe]

Some of these states are 2 weeks late issuing stay at home. That痴 where the highest rates are. NY didn稚 shut down schools till last week, now FL let the beaches open and it痴 growing there.

Received this newsletter today. I don't live there but we do a fare amount of work in MD. Fire and rescue now infected.

1 hour without a reply. Maybe the virus has peaked.

Montgomery co is highest in the state. Someone came from a cruise with it, then went to a big gathering, and it multiplied from there. This was early on before the big alarm. 22 in my county next door.

Yeah, I was shocked to see MC that high myself. Maybe over in Baltimore or Anne Arundel I wouldn't be surprised. This time last year we had just finished a million dollar job in Frederick, I hope he makes it...

County on other side has 10 listed, just now got a txt that 66 in a nursing home there just tested positive. In the news now.

The hospital there can’t handle that many, 11 in hospital now.
