Mr Streeck is a professor for virology and the director of the Institute of virology and HIV Research at the University Bonn. He explained the methodology of his new study in Heinsberg, the “epicentre” of Germany’s COVID-19 outbreak, and talked about potential plans for a country to move forward gradually in getting back to a “normal” life.
These research findings have already provided some indication on how the virus works, as Streeck clarified:
“There is no significant risk of catching the disease when you go shopping. Severe outbreaks of the infection were always a result of people being closer together over a longer period of time, for example the après- ski parties in Ischgl, Austria.” He could also not find any evidence of ‘living’ viruses on surfaces. “When we took samples from door handles, phones or toilets it has not been possible to cultivate the virus in the laboratory on the basis of these swabs….”

Anything on whorehouses?
Bam! End the lockdown!
Mrs llevrok said this today
Our regular grocery store is open. At times, it is packed with high risk seniors during special shopping hours.
Yet one of the employees have the virus And I’ve heard of no outbreak amongst their customes. Why? Because common sense hygiene prevails.
Why not look at that “model” ?

Well, hell, that oughta be easy to confirm or refute.
Sometimes you want proof.
Sometimes you want evidence.
Sounds like Fauci in Jan and Feb.
Yes, they should change the guidelines from Stay Home to Stay Outdoors. Sheltering in place can be deadly if you are not alone.
The very young Mr. Streeck (photo behind the link) should answer customers’ questions and listen to their chatter on the sales floor of a busy supermarket in a blue collar hot spot for the length of a shift every day for a few months. That would lend more credibility to his study.
So I read a death was traced and caused by a person touching a salt shaker that an infected person handed to them. What’s up with that?
The CDC found corona virus in cruise ship cabins seventeen days after passengers left. How long it persists seems to vary a lot.
Before any extended disease prevention “shutdown” period ever gets ordered the research conducted by University of Bonn on the transmission ability of the subject should be determined before doing so. And the precautions issued solely based on the findings.
Nothing to see here, grocery stores are clearly safe.. Go about consumption as usual.
Come on. I’m not even referring to the lock down. If this virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing s as and/or germs on hands, then of course it can be spread in public as well.
This is just silliness. The question is making the decision regardless of the risk.
I believe his people were saying that in the beginning. Ie got to the St Patrick’s day parade’, subways are fine, ‘visit China town’....until they walked it back and here we are.
Part of this story is in the details which aren’t discussed much.
If you enter a German grocery, I would suggest that a minimum of a quarter of the customers wear masks. Everyone is very particular about the cart business....so they wipe down the cart as they pick it up...with alcohol or a vinegar spray. Screens went up on almost all clerk stands.
In the dozen-odd occasions that I’ve been in a German grocery over the past month...it just seems like customers are more pro-hygiene than ever before.
