Dr. Howard Smith Reports

As professional sports open in a city, the influenza mortality rate rises as much as 24%.  Statisticians at West Virginia University report this information adding that CoVid will be similar to the flu but way more infectious and deadly.

The data shows that introduction of NHL hockey into a city bumps the flu deaths 24%, NFL games trigger a 17% increase, MLB baseball a 5.3% jump, and NBA basketball a 4.7% bump.  The analysis takes into account the seasonal temperatures and humidity.

The investigators propose that similar if not more dramatic increases will be seen with CoVid once sports restart.  Fans will beat the odds using masks, distancing, and washing.

Eighty-five percent of singers caught CoVid from a single infected person during one 2.5 hour rehearsal.  Environmental engineers now analyze this Washington State case report..

During the March 10th rehearsal in question, the precautions taken only included use of hand sanitizer and no physical contacts such as hugging or handshaking.  Face masks were not used.  Attendees rapidly became sick over the 5 days following the rehearsal.  Studying the group placement chart, spread of virus appeared random.  Air was recirculated through a standard commercial filter.

This is a wake up call.  Re-opening cannot be business as usual and be safe.  MDW: mask, distance, wash.

A superheated nickel foam air filtration system can catch and kill 99.9% of CoVid19 virus passing through it.  This according to a study completed by the Universities of Houston and Texas.

CoVid19 is airborne and challenges our efforts to reopen restaurants and mass transit where air recirculates in closed spaces. CoVid cannot live in temperatures above 160˚ F, and the researchers developed tightly packed nickel foam filters that may be heated to nearly 500˚ F while not unduly heating the air passing through it.

Look for other air disinfection systems using UVC radiation and other micro-filters as we all get back to work and play.

Roughly half of those who test positive for CoVid virus are completely free of any disease symptoms,  A Chinese study just published in Nature Medicine compared clinical profiles and test results for 37 asymptomatic patients with 37 who were sickened by the virus.

Those asymptomatic shed measurable virus 72% longer than those with symptoms.  Around 82% of both asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID patients form IgG antibodies, but antibody levels of symptomatic patients were 6-fold higher than those of asymptomatic patients.

Asymptomatic CoVid carriers are potentially infectious longer than those obviously sickened by the virus.  Anti-viral antibodies seem not to be keeping those spewing virus healthy.  Other factors are at play.
