    Question Question on Safely handling groceries

    I see that multiple sources are saying that as long as you keep your hands washed, you dont need to wipe down packages and items you get from grocery stores. How true is this? And does this account for someone potentially coughing on the package? Thanks

    Would a Virus disassemble if we could force it to be matter waves with destructive interference of the wave that is causing it to be physical?

    We would need to know its resonant frequency so we don’t harm healthy cells. The wave causing physicality is around 0.3 micrometers in wavelength.

    Friend MIGHT be infected - what do I need to do?

    I have a friend who I had contact with about 48 hours ago, who has a sore throat and a cough, and who has now told me that she has a fever of 100.1 degrees. -She claims that the cough is merely a result of her asthma and the fact that she smokes, as opposed to an infection (coronavirus, a cold...

    We have learned how very difficult it is to contain Covid-19. Factors including ease of travel, ease of transmission and carriers sometimes being asymptomatic and unaware that they are infected... these will all lead to more cases before this is over.
