People with no obvious symptoms of Covid-19 — called 'silent spreaders' — may be responsible for half of the Covid-19 cases in the US, a new study has found
Remember"Typhoid Mary" Mallon? She was an Irish immigrant who worked as a cook for New York families and contaminated at least 122 people with typhoid fever in the 1880s, leaving five dead.
Can the AC filter in your home, office or local mall protect you from Covid-19? As the first known healthy carrier of the bacterial disease, which is transmitted by a toxin in feces, Mallon refused to believe she was an asymptomatic conduit for typhoid fever. She refused to give stool samples to authorities and continued to spread the bacteria via her unsanitary ways until she was caught and quarantined twice for a total of 26 years, dying alone without friends.
Even with a mask, stay away from large crowds and 6 feet from anyone not in your"bubble." If you do socialize, try to limit it to outdoor locations with excellent air circulation and filtration. Keep your hands away from your face. And take a lesson from the mistakes of Typhoid Mary: Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, for a minimum of 20 seconds. And if some public health officials tell you that you need to take precautions, don't ignore them.
