Dumb "Corona Question" About Elbow Coughing and Disposable Gloves

The corona virus stays:
45 minutes in the air, traveling 2 meters 6 1/2 feet
a few minutes on your skin
12 hours on your clothes
up to 4 days on wood
4-5 days on paper
5 days on metal
6-9 days on plastic

If this is true, and the pictures are clear enough so that you don't have to understand the writing, then coughing into your elbow and wearing disposable gloves are worst things to do.

The corona virus stays the shortest time on your skin, which is easy to wash frequently with soap and water.

How many people strip off their tops and launder them after coughing into their elbow?

Ditto about washing your hands with soap after touching any surface is safer than passing around the virus on disposable gloves, which can easily spread the virus as you touch more than one thing.

PS it's much easier to cup/cover your mouth/nose with your hand tissue than catch all the spray on the inside of your elbow.

Coronavirus, My Opinion

Neighbor's coronavirus themed

I'll start with the bottom line. I think that the world has gone berserk.

Maybe I've seen too many deaths and injuries from war, Arab terror, car accidents, innumerable illnesses of all kinds, funerals etcetera.

International economies, trade, and more are crashing.

Now even though an epidemic/pandemic whatever is predicted, at present  the number of people actually ill from coronavirus is infinitesimal considering the world's population. Even in the countries most affected, it's less than other causes of death.

But the "precautions" are endangering people. The precautions are causing economic damage, both on a personal level and national, international. Staying home isn't healthy. It's depressing. It causes overeating or starvation. It's sedentary. That causes major health problem, especially in the same age population that is considered most endangered by the virus.

Children stuck at home get bored and get into trouble. Accidents, too.

Of course, I'll never be able to prove the numbers, but the costs in every sense of the word will be humongous.

Precautions should be in general hygiene, use of more soap and water and clean towels. The disposable gloves you probably see on cashiers and food workers are generally filthier than their hands would be if they washed them properly and frequently.

Studies show that soap and water are more effective against germs than the modern chemical cleansers.

When will this end?

I feel like we're improv actors in a science fiction horror movie.

Memories: Do You Know What This Is?

Nu, do you know what it is? And if so how did you use it? Any stories?

This was an old Israeli all purpose soap. I know that I used to buy it, or at least there was always some in the house, but I just don't have any memories of using it. It never quite felt or smelled like soap. American soap was real soap for me, and this stuff always made me think of the old scrubbing boards.

What do you think/remember?
