They probably do both reasonably well but as you say the relative effect on transmission is likely tone complicated. Virus only gets out one way -...
Quite a good account I would say. I think it is interesting that there is a confusion between the use of a mask to protect oneself and the use of...
Think that was David Nabarro, who is the guy who didn't get the job at WHO got by Tedros. He works in WHO. I think the subtext was that he thinks...
The picture shows the traditional check cotton one that is soft and absorbent but not fluffy. I think linen would have big holes. Towelling would...
This should be standard management of a spreading infection. It was used in the TB outbreak my daughter got involved in. The strain was traced...
Inhalants are useful for clearing bronchial secretions - which are composed of thick fluid coating the larger air tubes that can be coughed up....

My prediction is that the reality will be inescapable by July. It may become so via a number of different route but I don't think the current...
With contact tracing you do not get a choice. It is routine for TB testing in the UK anyway. As I understand it if you are a contact you are...
I agree I also think it is interesting that this was apparently a badly affected area. It strongly suggests that across a European country...
I wonder when this occurred? Particularly in relation to Boris Johnson's experience. I fear that although Johnson is likely to stabilise he must...
Yes, part of an overall strategy. But if the strategy is to return to something near previous economic activity that is going to require getting...
I doubt anyone has hard data but it is likely to be about 7 days or less. By definition we are talking about someone who is actively excreting...

It will be thousands but that is manageable. Maybe people forget that in older people's memories legally enforced centralised quarantine was a...
Separate names with a comma.
