Don’t think that Victorian and New South Wales are over cautious in relaxing the restrictions. It is true that these states are still very low in confirmed cases and fatality, no one should be complacent and take things for granted.

Within the linked report is a table showing the various countries’ cases and deaths in different countries,

High infection rate may be a rough guide to the severity, but the actual number of deaths give a more disturbing story,

The ranking of number of deaths of various countries extracted is shown below:

  • USA
  • Brazil
  • UK
  • Italy
  • France

I am very surprised with the cases in France, and I shall research a bit more about the country.

Thank you for reading.

Flushing the toilet may fling coronavirus aerosols everywhere

It is not a wise move to go a public small enclosed space. You do not know whether an infected person was present before and left behind a trail of virus, still lingering in the air as the article cited, as well in the toilet bowls.

Leading from this argument, if the air in a small restaurant is contaminated with the virus, only you are breathing in the air, but also allow the virus to be ingested while you are enjoying your food.

The best form of prevention is avoidance.
