Thanks!
Sharing this w/ all my doubter friends....w/ the closing line: If you don't want masks, feel free to give them to me.
That's the first time I've heard of Cold weather killing it off, many have suggested warm weather might. I believe it was in the 40s in Wuhan when it started.
that's b/c it's totally false.
not to be political, but I wouldn't trust this source...at all.
their dictator also said saunas kill the virus.
At one point in time this spring/summer the stock market will be at the very bottom. If you get the right stocks then, you are in for some great winning.

I went ahead and got a few n95 masks from a friend and will be wearing one from now on when I grocery shop or other times I am forced to be in enclosed spaces with a crowd.
This outbreak is less than thirty miles from my home, and a nursing home outbreak (40+ now 4 dead) is at a nursing home three blocks from my home. Not convinced it will help from catching the virus,
but there is more and more evidence that they will, and living at or near the original epicenter here in the US, I'm planning on taking the "you can't be over-cautious" approach now.
A Mount Vernon choir went ahead with rehearsal. Now dozens have coronavirus and 2 are dead.
“It seemed like a normal rehearsal, except that choirs are huggy places,” Burdick recalled. “We were making music and trying to keep a certain distance between each other.”
After 2½ hours, the singers parted ways at 9 p.m.
The outbreak has stunned county health officials, who have concluded that the virus was almost certainly transmitted through the air from one or more people without symptoms."

Many politicians have said things they will regret in the past, like Erdogan in Turkey. When you look back, you wonder what went on in their minds.
Quotes from the below articles:
Even though the Turkish Health Minister initially denied that there were any coronavirus cases in Turkey, after widespread claims of the spread of the virus, Turkish authorities arrested the whistle blowers. Another 64 Turks were jailed after being accused of disseminating false and provocative information. Furthermore, members of the state-controlled Turkish press panel insisted that “Turkish genes rendered most Turkic people immune,” Rubin reported.
Another reason Rubin gives for Erdogan’s cover-up of the spread of the coronavirus in Turkey is his fear of the collapse of the tourism industry. “In 2018, the Turkish tourism industry accounted for nearly $30 billion dollars. Just a year ago, Erdogan promised that Turkey would host 50 million tourists, raising that figure by at least 20 percent.
Erdogan’s Denial of Coronavirus Crisis Risks the Lives of 80 Million Turks (Armenian Weekly March 24, 2020)
Erdogan says Turkey will overcome coronavirus in two-three weeks; school closures extended (Reuters, March 25, 2020)
The Belarus President is apparently in the same league, allowing football matches to carry on as normal, touting vodka and tough work as antidotes to the virus and saying that the cold weather is more than enough to kill it off anyway.
That's the first time I've heard of Cold weather killing it off, many have suggested warm weather might. I believe it was in the 40s in Wuhan when it started.

I followed the press conference by the US president Sunday evening:
America's terrible, growing coronavirus death toll makes Trump accept reality (CNN)
In short, it was promising. Social distancing until April 30. Worst case scenario info, with hopes for a better scenario with social distancing. And I did notice that the president took an extra breath, then said "coronavirus". We are all fighting the same enemy. The coronavirus.
I am optimistic about the way USA are handling this now. Our economies, our people, friends, families, normal life, everything depend on leaders doing the right things - fast.
We may have some bad weeks ahead of us, but we should see the curves bending downwards slightly during April.

Just received the below from my dentist in an email:
•The Covid-19 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; that is why it is so good to use water above 78 degrees for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes more foam, and that makes it even more useful.
*Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially lipid layer of the virus.
•Any mix with 1part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaking it down from the inside.
•Oxygenated water (peroxide) helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine bleach because it dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it in pure form and it hurts your skin.
•NO BACTERICIDE WORKS. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; they cannot kill what is not alive with antibiotics.
•NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloths. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only between 3 hours (fabric and porous surfaces), 4 hours (copper, because it is naturally antiseptic; and wood, because it removes all the moisture and does not let it peel off and disintegrates). 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, UV light is perfect to disinfect and reuse a mask. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin, eventually causing wrinkles and skin cancer.
•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, work. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65% alcohol.
•LISTERINE IF IT’S APPROPRIATE! 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.
•This cannot be said enough, but 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, 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.
