Here is a thread to put specifically valuable learning information about COVID-19.

Please don't post random things you found on facebook like "Silver Bracelet Covid019 Repellent". -

Please share actual good, solid information, if you see something valuable.

Moderators reserve the right to kill anything that spreads false and unverified information.

I'll start- by saying I've found a great resource on Youtube, his name is Dr. John Campbell.
He is a NURSE teacher in the United Kingdom by trade, and has been doing a daily broadcast with GREAT information from around the world
about the development of COVID-19. I'll put some videos from this week, and then try to add as we can.

The first one I'll put is "Flatten the Curve", explaining what the point is of trying to keep people indoors, to slow the expansion of the pandemic.

From a study I found from last night:

Brass and copper door knobs are much less susceptible to corona viruses, than steel, stainless steel, or aluminum knobs. Apparently the electrolytic function of copper (and brass includes a lot of copper) kills the virus ON THE SURFACE OF THE KNOB OR HANDLE rapidly.

Source: a research paper from SouthHampton University, done in 2015, studying various building materials, and SARS and MERS Corona viruses.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26556276


Viruses on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum knobs and handles, as well as other interior building materials such as glass, Formica, and granite remained detectable at 24 hours after exposed.

Viruses on brass and on copper handles and knobs were no longer detectable about ten minutes after exposure.
