The Coronavirus Thread

Latest advice: don't shave!

In this study, published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, they swabbed the faces of 408 hospital staff with and without facial hair.

They had good reasons for doing so. We know that hospital-acquired infections are a major cause of disease and death in hospitals, with many patients acquiring an infection they didn't have when they went in. Hands, white coats, ties and equipment have all been blamed, but what about beards?

Well, the researchers were surprised to find that it was the clean-shaven staff, and not the beardies, who were more likely to be carrying something unpleasant on their faces.

The beardless group were more than three times as likely to be harbouring a species known as methicillin-resistant staph aureus on their freshly shaven cheeks. MRSA is a particularly common and troublesome source of hospital-acquired infections because it is resistant to so many of our current antibiotics...

Man, just a few weeks ago, they were telling us to shave. Fuck it, I'm just going to grow it out on one side, and shave the other.

I really think you shouldn't. I don't mind pissing people off by saying 'wrongthinks', but having considered this for some years, I really think people would lash out unreasonably.

Admittedly, I haven't been willing to try.

Don't change your clothes or wash.
Eat lots of garlic and cheese.
Smoke. Cough and sneeze.

People will give you more space in crowded areas.

Again not understanding the consequence of exponential growth.

You should build a sauna. Kills all viruses, lice etc.

Ikea might sell you a small one.

All IKEAs closed due to the virus over here.

Not seeing it. The numbers are so small any increase looks large. Base it on a million inhabitants and see where it goes; negligible. Exponential? Please get a grip. One province here as more than the half of the cases.

I almost built one once but a 'home' sauna is not 'gezellig' (cosy and social).

Everything except food and necessary supplies shops are open.

Toilet paper, water, canned beans. Guess what's next?
