COVID-19 Antibody Duration: The Horror Of Coronavirus Immunity Limited To 3 Months. Or Is It?

Lifespan Of Coronavirus Antibodies. Do We Really Get Just 3 Months?:
We’ve recently gotten two more pieces of bad news.

One was that coronavirus can survive on surfaces a lot longer than we used to think, especially in cold weather.

The second just came along a short while ago in a British study stating what many doctors feared.

For some reason contrary to other diseases, antibodies to coronavirus don’t stick around longer than three months.

Pretty spooky. But a team at Mount Sinai just found some more encouraging results…

Covid-19 On Surfaces. It Could Stick Around Awhile In Cold Weather:
One of the scariest elements of a new situation is not knowing what to do.

Virus-hunter docs bridged some of that gap by figuring out and demonstrating that coronavirus spreads through the air.

And mask-wearers everywhere are disappointed by those who refuse to wear them.

But as time goes on, researchers are finding out increasingly-frightening information that makes messy people look even more dangerous.

And part of that is related to COVID also spreading like another disease we’re afraid of…

Preventing Covid-19 Can A Supplement Really Help?:
Until a cure arrives, most of us are looking for anything we can do to stay healthy,

Because one of the scariest things a person can do is to be in the middle of a pandemic without a vaccine.

Especially given how easily the virus droplets can get to you.

So we’ve previously talked about how to prevent COVID-19 with masks & behavior,

And even social-activities that could aggravate the spread.

But other than behavioral-changes, is there anything else you can do? A Boston University team would say yes…

Coronavirus & Home Air Filters: The AirSoap Might Help Fight COVID-19 Better Than A HEPA

Coronavirus & Home Air Safety. AirSoap Filter To The Rescue?:
So as we learned about in the Ultraviolet Sanitizer post,

Not only has the entire world been turned upside down by coronavirus,

But so has the world of indoor small business.

And Columbia researchers came up with a “filter” that might help before a vaccine.

But what about when people take off their masks and start breathing in the enclosed-airspaces of their homes?

Well, a relatively new company may have a better solution where standard HEPA-filtration could fall short…

Can Ultraviolet Disinfectants Save The World Before A Vaccine?:
The coronavirus pandemic has turned the world upside down.

And we’re all looking for some time out in the future when we can escape purgatory and just get back to “normal”.

To survive until then we all wear our masks, some of us poorly, and also try to socially-distance as best we can, too.

One of the other things we do to kill the bug is to clean both hands and surfaces,

But a crafty-team at Columbia found out we might be able to do a lot more than that until the vaccine arrives…

Which Activities Are Risky Or Safe During A Pandemic?:
So one of the biggest problems we have right now is there isn’t much that’s normal.

And even as things reopen and we try to reestablish some normality, we know there are new rules to follow.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the continued closings of places like Restaurants, Bars, & Gyms.

But Restaurants do have one exception: Outdoor Dining while it’s warm enough to do so.

Why is that? Well disease experts in Arizona set out to answer everybody’s questions on that type of thing…

Introverts & Loners. A Secret Weapon Against Pandemics?:
One of the strange problems that faces us during the Coronavirus pandemic is that we’re asked to act against our nature.

Everywhere you look, obscuring most of your face is mandated to help other people,

You are further encouraged to stay some distance away from them, too.

At the beginning, we were all told to even Self-Quarantine & Socially-Isolate.

This of-course drove most people a bit bonkers.

But a team of crafty researchers found that for a small fraction of the population, this is not only standard procedure, but it might actually help society…

The Leaf Mask. Returning A Little Humanity In The Coronavirus Crisis:
If there’s one thing that’s become increasingly clear as time under the coronavirus goes on despite the scofflaws,

Is that mask-use is maybe the best thing we can do to stop the spread of the disease.

And new tests spring up all the time to show us the amazing difference they make.

But in a counter-intuitive way, the scofflaws may actually be onto something.

Because let’s face it, unless you’re The Dread Pirate Roberts, mask-wearing is a little unnatural.

But that might be about to change due to a group of nerdy-entrepreneurs…
