“One step would have eliminated the Corona virus in its infancy, if people had known about it,” wrote Leah Bander, in an article in the American magazine Forbes, in which she conveyed the opinions of scientists on the best way to stay away from viruses and epidemics.
Months before the Corona epidemic spread, Binder says she asked Harvard Medical School biologist Stephanie Taylor how to protect ourselves from the flu. And the answer is: people should properly hydrate their interior spaces, starting at home.
“This could reduce the risk of infection by 60 percent,” Binder quotes the Harvard scientist, adding that the same advice remains in force for dealing with Covid-19.
Taylor notes that dry air, caused by high indoor temperatures, is one of the main causes of disease spread, as “droplets carrying infectious viruses or bacteria shrink rapidly in low humidity,” but remain alive and recover. quickly their danger once they enter a stream. The humid air of the human being.
However, the scientist recommends not overly moistening the area, as moisture is an ideal place for mold to grow and therefore there is a risk of spreading viruses and bacteria.
“Keep the indoor humidity between 40 and 60 percent,” emphasizes the biologist.
The author of the article indicates that recent studies support Taylor’s advice, which calls for considering the issue of interior ventilation when designing buildings and homes, something that health officials around the world have recently started to worry after the gruesome spread of the Corona virus.
The new Corona virus has caused the deaths of 1,731,936 people worldwide since the World Health Organization office in China reported the appearance of the disease in late December 2019, according to a census conducted by Agence France-Presse according to official sources on Thursday at 11:00 GMT.
More than 78 million and 678 thousand 240 people have been infected with the virus in the world, of which 49 million and 787 thousand 800 people have recovered, at least until today.
