Belgian-Dutch Study: Why in times of COVID-19 you can not walk/run/bike close to each other

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

What is a safe distance when running, biking and walking during COVID-19 times? It is further than the typical 1–2 meter as prescribed in different countries!

In a lot of countries walking, biking and jogging are welcome activities in these times of COVID-19. However, it is important to note that you need to avoid each other’s slipstream when doing these activities. This comes out of the result of a study by the KU Leuven (Belgium) and TU Eindhoven (Netherlands).

The typical social distancing rule which many countries apply between 1–2 meters seems effective when you are standing still inside or even outside with low wind. But when you go for a walk, run or bike ride you better be more careful. When someone during a run breathes, sneezes or coughs, those particles stay behind in the air. The person running behind you in the so-called slip-stream goes through this cloud of droplets.

The Kitui County Textile Center (KICOTEC), a Kenyan based industry producing masks to help curb COVD-19 receives international media recognition from the Washington Post Newspaper

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, economics

The Kenyan factory has achieved a great milestone through its ability to make 30,000 surgical masks daily which is a major turnaround from its initial garment making business. I am glad in the stimulus package money will be given to small business to make things needed to fight coronavirus instead of sourcing them outside. The economic investment will help the economy just as Clinton invested in small businesses.
