Sniffer dogs in Finland test for COVID-19
“At the Finnish Helsinki Airport, dogs are successfully sniffing out whether travelers are infected with COVID-19. Their accuracy is almost 100 percent, and Finland wants to expand its use of them.”
Here in Belgium infection rates are dropping again. I think we’re over the peak of the second wave.
Pfizers’ vaccine. Does it give protection for a year or lifetime? Sorry if this is a stupid question but does anyone know?
A capitalist pharmaceutical company isn’t going to design a vaccine that lasts a lifetime if they can possibly avoid it.
Nice if it did though, but my cynicism has no bounds.
Nobody knows how long any vaccine protection will last unfortunately. It should last at least 6 months but you’ll probably have to get a jab every year.
Well at least this COVID-19 has not been a completely negative thing for me. No I have not been hit with COVID-19, but my hands, after all this washing and sterilizing, look much better.
The hand sterilizer that I use, has a side effect. Unlike other sanitizers, as a side effect it causes an increase in the skin moisture, rather than cause drying of the skin. The active ingredient, BZT (Benzethonium chloride), is the key.
