This is not political. This is death. Vague? Pointing fingers gets us nowhere. When you point a finger, remember four are pointing back at you.....just for clarity. Anything positive to say to help people? The world?
Back on subject...
I wonder how many materials in the world this will not cling to? Surely this will not live in a vacuum? If it lives on cardboard, find another shipping agent to use. Can cardboard be treated with something that will prevent this death from living on it?
It may be a very small thing used to defeat this. Think ahead. Let's go to war with it instead of treating it. No man alive could have prevented this from coming to America. We were eight weeks behind China...on a worldwide basis.
I wonder if something would eat this? Stores are installing plexiglass at cash registers. Some are scanning charge cards through the plexiglass. Stores are taping floors to keep people away from each other. It may be something simple, like worldwide prayer. If you don't like hearing that, then you know how much sense it makes to me to bash someone when the world could be dying. Gird up your loins and let's fight this together.
The virus is not alive. It doesn't reproduce on its own. That said, without a host it disintegrates on its own. So, no. It doesn't live on cardboard. Don't burn everything but do sanitize mostly everything, especially door knobs. The virus is in respiratory droplets, meaning saliva, spit, and phlegm, which is why people need to wear face shields and masks. This is also why physical distancing and quarantine is advocated because believe it or not the simple act of an infected person talking to another causes contagion.
Onto surfaces. The virus is a protein with a fatty layer protecting it. This is its chemical composition as far as researchers have discovered. When something is fatty, it disintegrates by heat, soap and water, and anything that is at least 65% alcohol---. This is why you need to disinfect. For example someone sprays their own saliva while screaming and they're infected. They spray it to their bosses, the table, and the floors.
The boss will wipe that saliva off his face. Not wash his hands, eat pizza. Yes, he will be infected. If the boss has healthy skin, chances of the virus infecting him through his skin is little. Researchers are still studying whether the virus also sticks itself in wounds.
The boss has a toddler. Remember the saliva on the floor? The boss walks out of the office and steps on bit of the saliva. He goes home right away. The virus thrives on the surface for around three hours (varies). He gets home, steps inside house where his terrible two baby is crawling everywhere. Baby picks up a ball near daddy's shoes then puts it in his mouth. Yes, baby will he infected.
Then a janitor, wearing dishwasher's gloves, a mask, etc. He sprays disinfectants on floors, tables, etc. Chances of Janitor getting infected - mimimal.
The next morning, secretary walks around the office, prepares docs. Because of Janitor's heroism, chances of the secretary getting infected also minimal.
Say that infected guy who started all the bullshit was quite healthy, stayed at home instead and didn't work? Boss's baby would have still been healthy.
The virus doesn't ask about your citizenship or your heritage. It doesn't care about skin color. It only cares about the fluids in your body that it can cling to. Damnit the virus isn't even alive. It doesn't give a fuck.
When the government does nothing that's because the people who built that government put them there. The government is the people but nobody recognizes that. It is in the power of the people to fuck the government off. That is the beauty and value of democracy but people also do not care.
