Tulane University in new Orleans has a primate center north of New Orleans in Covington, Louisiana.
They are going to inject and infect the primates with the virus to study it. These two doctors (scientists) were asked to do this study and they agreed to study how this virus will spread among the primates. They will also work on treatments for the virus.
These viruses are so worrisome. My husband’s company has been effected by the situation because manufacturing is in China. Thank God my husband traveled to China before the virus outbreak and all the protesters as well.
A long time ago some of the primates escaped from Tulane. Some were recovered in people’s backyards. Some were never recovered.
I have always been very OCD about hand washing. I think that came from my mom, grandma, aunts and the nuns at my school. It’s just how I am.
I can’t imagine people not washing their hands. Gross! I am a bit of a germ freak.
I remember years ago a restaurant in our area closing because a kitchen worker had hepatitis and cut themselves and did not wash their hands and bandage it properly. A customer died from the blood that contaminated the food. So sad.
How OCD are you with hand washing?
You’re right. You make excellent points. I guess we want to be optimistic and feel that we are in a very clean and sterile atmosphere.
I wonder what new technology will be developed in the future to help with making the situation better. Some genius will think of something. Not in my lifetime though!
Look at inventions of things used in our homes nowadays. Steam mops that supposedly disinfect. Vacuum cleaners that filter out allergens and so forth.
Isn’t vinegar a natural cleaning agent? Lemons too? People don’t like using lots of harmful, toxic chemicals.
That’s true. Those are indeed the facts.
Tom Hanks and wife have it in Australia.
Yeah, I am wondering how far this situation will go.
This virus is constantly compared to the flu but I don’t know if that is a fair comparison. This is a newer virus so not as much is known about it.
People can be very stupid. But that's not news, is it?!
It's like a stampede. More people get hurt in the stampede than could possibly have been harmed by whatever triggered the stampede in the first place. All you can do is try not to join in :)
Yes, I wash my hands constantly. I don’t touch door handles or toilet handles. I suppose I can be a little OCD at times.
Good for you!
They clean before the inspections and that’s about the only time deep cleaning is done.
This is how you upgrade your hand washing techniques:
