一风扰乱春江水
橙红不分败柳吹
阵鼓催骑山洪泻
浅盏清酒涟波起
坐看盘蛇腾龙缠
一翻病苦一翻毒

Is It Wet Or Dry?
Those who paint will know that wet paint comes off easy with a thumb wipe than a press with a pointy object. Dry paint however, may flake off with a pointy object, fingers do less damage.
All that is needed is to to wipe your finger on the button; does it feel oily and stained? Press with your key; does it feel oily at the end of contact?
Pressing with a key is less damaging to a wet coating than a finger press. Pressing with a key is more damaging on a dry coating than a wet coating.
It is a wet coating. Don't touch the buttons with your bare fingers.
Brass is less damaging on steel. Steel will scratch brass. This is one of the reasons the Mongols won, they had steel.

Presuming Pride
The definition of hubris is Overbearing pride or presumption
The one relevant definition of presumption is, (law) an inference of the truth of a fact from other facts proved, admitted or judicially noticed.
Unfortunately in this pandemic, the truth to any fact is still scientifically lacking. Any presumption is sadly one that is taken for granted, for which one has no right to make, and is more than just discourtesy in any court of law, and especially in a court of law.
Stop.

Economic Hiatus And COVID-19 Tests
As I read about different types of tests for COVID-19, it seems to be me that if the authority suspects a person to be infected with the disease, it should test the individual for the disease. The tests are improving and can be ready in minutes.
The effort and money spent on 'confinement' is better spent on a singular COVID-19 test. Pending the outcome of the test, the person is advised to stay home. The result of the test is either medical care, or ... As of now people restricted, simply wait out the confinement period, they might still develop the disease afterward. The incubation period varies greatly. Why live with such uncertainty if a test give better odds?
There's no need to stop life. Get tested.
There's no need to stop work. Get tested.
There's no need to spend billions. If you still feel like spending your reserves, spend it on COVID-19 tests and medical care.
There's no need to 'follow' people around and charge them in court for 'leaving their homes for no apparent reasons'...
'leaving their homes for no apparent reasons' do not contribute to the pandemic. Neither does socializing and de-stressing. The virus is the pandemic, test for it! If the law is faulty, do not apply the law as if you are a robot. First make sense; first make GOOD sense.
Restricting access and availability do not disperse the crowds. A larger crowd forms up somewhere else, less visible and more crowded. Closing public areas hurdle people onto smaller private areas. They crowd. Exposure to the disease when you open up shop is the same whether you wrap the shelves up in plastics and make them unavailable (because you think they are not essential) or not. Making items unavailable in small shops, creates a longer queue at bigger shops where such items are still available. Social distancing and masks may save the day, but more distance from commonsense is just self sabotaging. Uncover the shelves, if you decide to open shop, make everything available.
Don't stop the economy, test for the virus.
Don't stop living, test for the virus.
With all the money and effort, if you set up test centers at workplace, at schools, at avenues for the general public, even if it generates a huge backlog of tests you will be more certain to who to subject movement control now. Only those tested positive are restricted, confined or be shot immediately (with a fine or jail term ;).
Now everyone get shot, because you encroach upon their basic freedom without commonsense to take the right course of actions. Cabin fever is deadly, the cure is beer and a leisurely walk. Test the accused for the virus, because the law was enacted to stop a pandemic. If he does not have the germs, he did not contravene that law. He has acted against the words of the law but did not contribute to the pandemic. All laws serve a purpose; only if one offends against such a purpose, is the law broken. You cannot confine anyone without first testing the person for the disease. It is not the value of fairness and justice that is of concern here, but the application of the law. It is unfair and unjust to confine a person without the disease and base his confinement upon the likelihood that he may develop the disease. Confined the person with the disease. Obviously, test both of them for the disease to know better. Because otherwise, by the same token you will have to arrest all who can hold a knife for murder with a knife, based on the likelihood of murder with a knife. From reported homicides data from big cities around the world, everyone is confined to home lest they murder someone.
And many, citizens and non citizens, don't eat if they don't work. Obviously they are complications from COVID-19, another statistics under the rug of hubris and commonsense distancing. It is not mental health, it is NO MONEY. Not everyone receive a high monthly government credit to the bank irrespective of the pandemic. Not everyone receive government reliefs. They are not invisible. They are alive. Seek and help.
Seek and help.
To the list of COVID-19 complications I add, commonsense distancing leading to self-sabotage and if added to a preexisting history of hubris, likely a cause of... your death.
They are not mental, seek and help, irrespective whether they are citizens or foreigners, legal or not legal.
Enough commonsense distancing already.
PS. Test everyone travelling on the mass transit, establish contact and link the sample swap using contact tracing apps. Advise them to stay home until their test results is ready. Follow up. Have companies and other organizations organize their own test teams. Help them, provide the tests and analysis. Follow up. No need to stop anything.
Follow good SARS advice to avoid infection.
Order those spraying germs from a tube in their palm shot. Two weeks and your enemies have no chance to invade.

Amabie And Fish Scales
The most striking thing on first look at an Amabie was, fish scales... What's the infection rate of COVID-19 on those wearing fish scale lipsticks?
So, dried powdered fish scales... you are either crazy, touched by the divine or a genius!
See a doctor if you are sick.
Note: Fish scales have many uses including as a piezoelectric, collagen supplement, color enhancer, etc.

Cucumber Some More
I missed out cartilage, bones, gums, the cornea and lens in the previous post "Thoughts On A Cucumber" date 4 May 20. The the growth of these structures could be triggered by a virus like mechanism, where genetic materials are injected into normal cells.
Have a nice day.

Baseless Bolt
Here's a thought, smallpox vaccine to act against SARS-CoV, but it has to be in the lungs and intestines.
If smallpox vaccine does provide some protection, what is the level of vaccination among the vulnerable groups here?
Read this,
Immunity from Smallpox Vaccine Persists for Decades
There could be a positive correlation between those who are not vaccinated against smallpox and the fatality due to SARS-CoV.
The large group of people who are asymptotic, children who are likely to be newly vaccinated with smallpox, people who have not been vaccinated and older persons who have not received smallpox booster shots, are interesting infection demographics as the disease, SARS-CoV, infects the human population.
But first question first, what has the Variola virus got to do with the Coronavirus? Is it possible that the immune response triggered by vaccination against a Variola virus helps to fight against the Coronavirus?
Read this,
An orthopoxvirus-based vaccine reduces virus excretion after MERS-CoV infection in dromedary camels.
Variola is a orthopoxvirus and MERS-CoV is a coronavirus. Good news for camels and lamas...but people are still dying.

Thoughts On A Cucumber
What if, the virus mechanism is part of a natural biological process to grow teeth, nails, fangs, claws, beaks, scales, hair, horns and callus? Along some evolutionary paths, it evolved into venom, caustic digestive juices, paralytics, and other hunting and defensive mechanisms.
What if polio originated from the claws or fangs of some predators. But we no longer hunt with our teeth and hands and we eat cooked food. Have we evolved away from a natural virus defense.
What if a pathogenic bacteria is actually a normal cell changed by a virus that still multiplies by cell replications after infection. The virus after injecting its genetic material, hid inside the cell (now a bacteria) and never reappears. The virus does not kill the cell, and does not replicate in the cell, but lives as the cell multiplies. It is replicated together with other genetic materials in the cell.
And what if cancer is such a viral mechanism turned inwards? When the body grows teeth in the colon, liver...
Why this train of thoughts? ;because Cucurbitacins is an anticancer agent that also makes your hair fall off, loosen your teeth and stunt nail growth in high doses.
Is baldness and cancer negatively correlated? Is baldness and the flu infection negatively correlated?
This cucumber is way too distracting.

More Brain Dead Advice
This is why you would use a mouthwash to fight CoVID-19,
the term to look for is 'glutaraldehyde'. Toilet paper cannot do as much. Return the toilet paper and swap them for mouthwash instead. Please!
Have a nice day.
Asymptomatic Contagion
Read this,
No asymptomatic cases turn into confirmed cases in Wuhan
More importantly, as reported above,
"Meanwhile, none of the 2,250 close contacts of the asymptomatic cases had developed into confirmed or asymptomatic cases, it said."
The tests for the virus have thrown up false positives. There has not been asymptomatic contagion.

For Those In Anarchy
Seek help to get your employees tested for covid-19. Start work. You can still get infected after the tests. The test itself can provide a false negative. So, disinfect the work place, wear a mask, use a mouth wash, suck on lozenges, wash your hands the first thing at work and, if your are sick leave the work place and see a doctor.
The cost of a test kit varies, but even if it is over USD 100 it is still worthwhile. To passively wait out the disease for months no-end, is even more expensive.
I am still brain dead.
