Religious congregations risk accelerating Covid-19 outbreak as pandemic moves to emerging markets
“Shutting down churches would be like shutting down hospitals,” David Oyedepo, dressed in a pressed, white suit, told a crowd of hundreds from the pulpit in a livestream of one sermon last month.
Nigeria’s 200m citizens are among the most religiously observant people in the world, surveys show, and the mainly Christian south is home to several Pentecostal megachurches.
That makes religious institutions vital if countries like Nigeria are to slow the spread of the virus, explained Idayat Hassan, director of the Abuja-based Centre for Democracy and Development.
“Religious institutions remain the key to combating the scourge, as they are the most trusted sources and platform in the country today,” she said, warning that many have so far framed the pandemic as a hoax. “Depending on how effectively they utilise their platform, social distancing can be achieved.” Source: The Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/conte...ily-empty-email:content

If we consider how much aerosol action we get from the nose, we may be justified to consider disinfecting the air.
But it appears that the respiratory canal can trap most of the viruses in place, before they can reach the lungs and alveoli. This is of great advantage to us, and is source of assurance that once we start to disinfect the respiratory system our treatment can be timed to good measure. And that we can have a high recovery rate.
Viruses residing in the mouth are either swallowed or inhaled. Wherever the virus lands, it attacks, and thus we can get gastrointestinal symptoms.
I think we can now know how the graph takes off. The more people are localized in proximity, the more they spray the air with more viruses till their population is so high, that nearly everyone has to be sick. That's when the curve takes off.
The curve peaks when there are very few new hosts for the virus. So we see the number of cases stabilizing and now diminishing with time, till we say we have contained it.
But I suspect that when the virus is inert it may just be waiting for the right season: when people around inhale the inert virus and reactivate it through an incubation period that is either detectable or undetectable. Then the cycle repeats itself again ad finitum.
If this line of thought is correct, then the line of defence that we started with is and will be critical to how well we can manage any herd immunization exercise that we may undertake.
I haven't spoken much about the eyes, but they may be a major entry point for the virus. But it appears that tears neutralize them quickly and unless the viral population is significant will we have swelling of the eye.
So if we want to reduce new infection cases, we may need to spray the air with disinfectant.

Because the spray wouldn't last forever in the air to kill any virus after someone infected fumes a cloud of droplets from persistent and severe cough.

Yes, @Spikes, that's a valid point that you have raised. I think the ideal situation is that we're all masked. In that case we can disinfect the air for say weekly intervals and guided by area population density, and new numbers emerging from the incubation period.
Otherwise at the moment we may need to wait till we're masked up.

Otherwise at the moment we may need to wait till we're masked up. This is a gigantic undertaking considering factors such as wind. Also you haven't told us that air is actually forced into the lungs by the diaphragm. Just like a vacuum cleaner. Most if not all nanoparticles will reach the furthest part of the lungs. I think the cells inside the lungs are very much adopted to fighting this kind of infections. our weakest part is the throat area. That is where the virus lands and in the incubation period it learns to trick the body and soon 're-enters the lungs.I think it's all about the mucus that holds on to the virus for for too long that the virus starts to mutate . Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

We need to consider wind and methods to use for this task. If well designed we can have economy of resources and effectiveness. Thanks for reminding me of the diaphragm. Yes the suctioning of the air is likely to spread the virus particles all over the lung surface area. Yet I also believe the filtration process prior to the lungs captures most of the virus. So we don't get symptoms from the lungs early in the game. And the throat retains the viruses. Till we remove them. The throat is critical, but I suspect that the fulcrum is in the nose. We may all need to disinfect our noses regularly. Consider if there is a corona colony in the nose, we will still be feverish, and will be supplying the throat constantly. Besides, we will still be spraying the virus to others. So, yes the throat is critical but the fulcrum of the whole game is the nose. Nasal hygiene and regular disinfection.

The CAS mentioned that some people are hording oxygen tanks...who would do that and for what? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

So by hoarding he can supply the commodity at the most pressing time. But I visualize the possibility of a positively tailed near flat. Once the stats coming in and our measures are fruitful, then oxygen will be abundant.
