Nice explanation
Love her, please be safe. Love the all healthcare workers. May our Lord Christ, bless and keep you all🙏, today and everyday.
Your god isn’t going to do a damn thing
@Beeg Ames i understand your frustrations. The times, they try and shape us. Instead of fighting it, maybe we should embrace it. I knew a day could possibly come, when I would meet my end, with the word of God in my hand. I still believe that to be so, if I am to die, let it be with thunder and lighting (figuretively speaking) , and the manifest power of God’s word. Learn to accept the times, embrace all things even death, life is so much of a rush (and thrilling) that way. Whatever happens everything is gonna be alright brother.
Yeah the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Very few people will make it .
Who answers their phone with gloves on? Remove that out of the equation and you’re safe and sound.
And how long do viruses last on *dead, non-organic* surfaces anyway? Viruses need a living host to survive. They can’t proliferate on non-organic objects. The by far most common contamination is from person to person. Period. We’re not dealing with radioactive fallout here. The groceries you shop are highly unlikely to be anywhere near as contaminated as *living people* in your midst.
According to studies. It can survive on a surface for a few hours to days depending on the surface type.
@John Doe Are you aware of fallacies?
John Doe No, he thinks he’s smarter.
@sansaviera That’s not what I read, sansaviera. What’s been found on some hard surfaces (known to have been contaminated) after a few days was TRACES of the virus, not enough to infect people. Please check your sources, and if I’m wrong about this and you have a good source that says so, please let me know! I don’t want to be posting things that are false; we’ve got enough confusion going on around this pandemic as it is.
You’re talking about BACTERIA that need an organic living host and more importantly moisture (water) to survive. Viruses are notorious for being encapsulated which can protect them for days if not weeks on solid surfaces (like hepatitis B, a major problem in hospitals until vaccination was required to work there) and no one knows the tenacity of this novel (“new”) coronavirus just yet. Infected people could potentially be contagious head to toe, clothing, accessories, everywhere regardless of face coverings and gloves. Surfaces in public are definitely a concern. Protect yourself appropriately.
Thanks for showing the science. This virus has so many avenues for cross-contamination. Since it is airborne and more, people also need to know that when they take their masks off they will cross-contaminate. They really are better off using cotton cloth and soak it in alcohol for 20 minutes after each use.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can I get a heart?
Great job….Thank you
Thank you!!!!! I keep saying it. Wash your hands! You would not believe how many germs are on your hands. I learned this through a petri dish experiment years ago in the microbiology lab! Wash your hands and keep them out of your face.
😂😂 perfect
Lift buttons are full of all kinds of ‘ things’ . Use a pen to press them when you travel in a lift.Don’t forget to clean your keyboard too.
Thank you, kind lady… Well done !
Good one.
Wow! That’s all I’ve got to say!
Love ya!!! Give them hell!!
Thank you, well demonstrated ❤
well explained. Thanks Bruno Switzerland
This is when OCD is appreciated. Wash, wash, wash, wash, wash, wash YOUR HANDS!
she seems trigger af
LOL
starts video by touching face
ABSOLUTELY!!! Drives me nuts when store employees don’t understand how gloves work, meant to protect the consumer, not just YOURSELVES. We had a new Royal Farms give a bunch of free/cheap stuff away at grand opening. The girl making the sub sandwiches was wearing gloves, never changed them, and would pick up her soda bottle (with gloves on) that surely came off the shelf at the store, then go on to make the next sandwich. Seriously, NO THANK YOU.
Ever stay at a hotel where the cleaning crew wears gloves to change linens/towels, then add fresh ones and never change gloves even between rooms? They MAY be protecting themselves from pathogens, but certainly not the people staying there.
In all fairness, most businesses probably don’t provide enough supplies for dozens of glove changes a day, but after this outbreak perhaps gov’t will do something logical and mandate more sanitary conditions in a lot of places.
Don’t get me started on restaurant kitchens, not since back in my college days; I don’t eat out much…
