A short period of tight restrictions across England is being considered to slow the spread of the virus.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock says UK faces "very serious situation" and does not rule out another lockdown.

Other European countries, including France and Spain, are also taking action as cases surge.

It comes as the WHO warns of "alarming rates of transmission" across Europe, with fears death rates will rise significantly.

Israel becomes the first country to start a second nationwide shutdown, with residents unable to stray far from their homes.

Australia will now let in 6,000 citizens a week - some 24,000 stranded Australians have been waiting to return home.

Confirmed cases worldwide pass 30 million, with more than 940,000 confirmed deaths of people who had Covid-19

Funny that nobody has mentioned it, i read the first time that somebody, some doctor, said it on TV yesterday, although it should be obvious, but I did not had it coming to my mind, too: desinfect your mouths. You leave the house, you come home from town and enter your home: gets some suitable desinfactant and gargle . Habit formed like washing hands. A drink with high amount of alcohol, should already do (spit it out if you do not want to become an addcit ), so my guess would be cheap gas from the supermarket already would do the job: Rum with 60% or something like that). Or for a limited time period, chlorhexadrine or something dedicated like that. Anything that cracks open the hull of this hooded virus and so deactivates it when it sits on the upper part of your throat's mucosa. Dish-washing soap should work to, but I find the taste awful.

It should help to reduce the virus load, in case you caught something in your throat while beign out - or not?


Having zinc pills in your mouth, aims at a comparable thing.


And imagine the sight: mornign briefing in the corporation office, people start talking and a minute later the room sniffs like a saloon full of drunk cowboys...

Virucidal Efficacy of Different Oral Rinses Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/222/8/1289/5878067

Quote:
We found that different SARS-CoV-2 strains can be efficiently inactivated with commercially available oral rinses under biologically relevant conditions mimicking respiratory secretions. In particular, we observed that 3 formulations (products C, E, and F) containing different active compounds significantly reduced viral infectivity to undetectable levels. In agreement with our observation, different studies using Listerine (product F) observed antiviral activities specifically against enveloped viruses, implying an impact on the viral lipid envelope [8–10]
That is nice, becasue the mentioned Listerine Cool Mint, whihh I assume under this or a different name is across in drugstores all across the West, is no chemical overkill agent like Chlorhexadrine and compaable rinses that you maybe get told to use after mouth and tooth surgery and which can cause problems after one-to two weeks becassue it is so aggressive. I for example am allergic to it.

New addition to hygienics protocol in my house: after coming home, not just washing my hands and putting mask, wallet and cellphone in the UVC cleaner - but also gargling. I use teeth rinses after brushign teeth twice a day, but will now add Listerine (becasue the one I use before did not ge tmentioned) additionally for the hoimecoming "washup". It just tastes waaayyyy too sweet...

Why did this not come to my mind earlier. Its so self-recommending, isn't it.

Man, too bad we didn't get to meet and talk when I was in Dusseldorf. Or Copenhagen, or Holland, etc.

Who would have thought that my looks are so interesting a topic for people's conversation. Maybe I should wear an E.T. mask and a pink tutu to attract less attention...
