Coronavirus Disease 2019.
Covid-19.
WuFlu. SARS 2. Share here our tips and new developments. COVID-19 is same family as SARS virus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14631830 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14631830 SARS coronavirus in the testing condition could survive in serum, 1:20 diluted sputum and feces for at least 96 h, whereas it could remain alive in urine for at least 72 h with a low level of infectivity. The survival abilities on the surfaces of eight different materials and in water were quite comparable, revealing reduction of infectivity after 72 to 96 h exposure. Viruses stayed stable at 4 degrees C, at room temperature (20 degrees C) and at 37 degrees C for at least 2 h without remarkable change in the infectious ability in cells, but were converted to be non-infectious after 90-, 60- and 30-min exposure at 56 degrees C, at 67 degrees C and at 75 degrees C, respectively. Irradiation of UV for 60 min on the virus in culture medium resulted in the destruction of viral infectivity at an undetectable level. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/926929
Social distancing is best measure on a personal level. The virus can be spread as soon as 36 hours after infection as the cases in bavaria demonstrated. Infectious even if person has no symptoms. Stupidity is not heroic. Being courageous is knowing the risks and continuing with your best precautions and planning, despite any fears. Stay safe for your loved ones and friends. You're not the only one.

Common sense
Mask up if you have stocks.
Don't buy more and deprive health care workers and those at risk, improvise with bandanas and scarves. The concept is to decrease viral load if you are exposed and to stop you touching your face. Secondly, infected ppl who are masked will be less infectious. Back to first principles, those who are infectious may not show symptoms : hence telling ppl no need mask when well is either utter stupidity or total callousness : do not listen to WHO.

In the most effective mitigation strategy examined, which leads to a single, relatively short epidemic (case isolation, household quarantine and social distancing of the elderly)
