Good info, thanks!
As an aside, I’m impressed with your posting skills - no way I could have posted a chart like that :-) The color is a nice addition, too.
The salt kills germs alcohol is iffy.
From the CDC:
Person-to-person spread The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected geographic areas.

1. Droplets: How many people sneeze or cough on others or allow someone else to sneeze or cough on them? Probably not many. IMO, least likely.
2. Surfaces or personal contact: IMO, most likely. Someone sneezes or coughs into their hand, then shakes hands with someone else. Or coughs or sneezes onto a surface that someone else touches, then transfers infection into mucus membranes.
3. As far as I can tell, no one is saying that it is airborne like the measles are. Is this what you are thinking?
But the point is, we know it gets transferred from person to person. How and which method is the most prevalent are probably not known yet.
Thanks for that chart! Lots of information about what works, but I don’t think I’ve seen one like that WITH the time needed and all listed like that.
My brother is head of a small multinational medical company that is in the pipeline. They have been privately working on this since day one. This virus can live in the air several minutes (like measels.) They have determined that all the handwashing in the world won't save you from this if you ingest contaminated air. They investigated cases in-depth where people attended the Houston Livestock Show back in February and didn't eat anything or touch anything. The only thing they did was walk through the arena looking at the animals. They determined the Ro factor of this virus to be about 2.7. Seasonal influenza Ro is about 1. Yeah, it's airborne alright. Big time.
LOL...a likely story!
Actually it is due to my lack that I seek out alternative ways to do what would normally require normal dexterity and greater knowledge of coding. Thank God for them.
They Say Coronavirus Isn't Airborne—but It's Definitely Borne By Air . The word “airborne” means different things to different scientists
That’s nonsense? For YOU maybe. You're lucky. The last time I had my hearing tested, I couldn't hear the two highest pitches, but I guessed the timing and I passed the test. Everyone is different. I have severe loss of high-pitched sounds. It makes it sound as if everyone is mumbling. People get irritated when I always say, "Say that again" when they talk. Or I ask someone, "What did he say?"
When Mrs. RWA says, "The birds are singing a lot today." I say, "I don't hear them." If I heara a loud noise, even a short one, I get louder hissing for hours.
I spent way too much time running chain saws and grinding and cutting tools. I now have a hissing sound in my ears but I can live with it. It's odd that "hissing" is high frequency, but I can' hear really hissing.
My late FIL was a policeman and no one ever wore protection on the shooting range. His hearing was a mess in his later years.
I see guys running commercial mowers all day long. They will be sorry some years later. If you smoke, it makes the damage worse.
