yes in two days the virus will stop reproducing. but NOT in those conditions you gave. As people try to stay cool.
Our nasal cavities operate at a temperature between 91 to 95 deg F. This test shows raising the temperature of the nasal cavities the virus does not reproduce as easily at 98 deg F. Our lungs operate at 97 deg F and isn't the area the virus reproduces.

14 days not enough. I bet they extend it another two weeks.
Just as I bought a large box of 12 commercial grade paper towel rolls yesterday, as a substitute for t.p., many fellow shoppers were buying single rolls of the same paper towels at $3.99 each, as a substitute for t.p., and others had large packages of napkins, while others had multiple boxes of tissues. Folks were not leaving without something to use for t.p., in spite of the fact that there wasn’t any traditional t.p. to be found anywhere in the store.

Not as quick to update as others, but pretty close. Nice layout. Lots of info on the page without a lot of scrolling.
Interesting how long many of the products, on that updated list, require staying wet and on surface for 10 minutes!!
I didn’t go through EVERY page, but...most of the ones with isopropyl only require 30 seconds.
Is there a new thread in the works?
Trump - Canadian border close to all non essential travel.

Burnet Co. has cancelled the Bluebonnet Festival.
James Robb, MD FCAP regarding Coronavirus - clothing will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more - all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.

I’ve been wondering about that :-(
James Robb, MD FCAP regarding Coronavirus: “The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.”
I’ll take that as someone’s opinion, but still assume worst case. And that is because the spread of this virus has been underestimated by EVERYONE, including China.
Just saw that, about our closing the Canadian border....but, that trade will not be affected. What about our SOUTHERN border??
Wondering how infected clothing cannot pose a problem.
I did see one of the agency’s ‘disinfecting processes’ had said to NOT shake suspected infected clothing, as that can ‘loosen’ the virus. :(
We purchased Lysol laundry disinfectant, and have been using that, on clothing that’s been worn “out there”.
I haven’t looked through it completely yet. 10 minutes is a long time to keep something wet
Here’s a link to the border closing:
I've been saying that there are other ionophores that are not as effective as hydroxychloroquine that can be found over the counter. One is Quercetin which is found in some foods.
Here is the link look at figure 2: The control without using any ionophores proves Zinc does work to an extent. Because zinc ions are small enough to pass through the walls of the cell without any help.

Travis Co. - 17
Texas received its first shipment from the emergency federal stockpile but only 19,000 masks so already about out as of last night.
Gov. Abbott waived 10 day waiting period for unemployment insurance.
Harris Co. - 3 more with 2 critical
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/coronavirus/article/texas-coronavirus-map-cases-houston-covid-19-15137466.php - good map with TX counties. Two unknown locations. 129 cases.
Still no word on tests (plural) results in Llano Co.
Could explain why VP is now asking construction companies to donate N95s.
Scary, considering we were told there would be MILLIONS of masks delivered, to HC facilites, this week.
