Popular Post Srikcir Posted May 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2020 Is this like one time? Article says "a cleaning." Shouldn't cleaning be done at least once a day, ie., beginning or end? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phkauf Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Well it's an improvement from shooting unarmed civilians, so props to the Army for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem3 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Its a very usefull ???? operation right now. Knowing that there is almost no covid infections in Thailand and the virus can only survive a relatively short time on surfaces in amounts that it could be infectious. Its like shooting with a shotgun on a mosquito. But at least they can show they did something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankeesvsredsox Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) According to a May 5th article:: "Based on our knowledge of the conditions required for disinfectants to work, we suspect these activities are as much about authorities being seen to do something as about actually stopping the spread of COVID-19". "A far more effective regime is to recommend stringent personal hygiene. This includes regular hand washing with soap and water and the use of alcohol-based sanitizer when hand washing isn't possible". https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-sanitizing-city-streets-coronavirus.html IMOP, the first paragraph holds true Edited May 24, 2020 by Yankeesvsredsox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
