So I asked my maid last night, " what exactly do you do when you go to your church?" If it is human close contact, I have seen Muslim prayers on Fridays, quite massive, and they also stay quite close to each other. It is also their custom to shake hands and place it to their hearts as a form of greetings, I dont think Muslim prayers is any less crowded or body contact than Church prayers lor. Then we look at Chinese temples, CNY eve would have caused a total outbreak given how crowded many temples are on CNY eve when ppl go 接财神 or 上头香, they are so crowed that in some temples ppl are standing almost back to back like in a jam pack MRT cabin. Then we have the 4th day when many go 拜太岁，again the places are so crowded. I have been to Sunday church and festive gatherings in Church when I was younger, and I find nothing unusual. So, I still dont understand how come the 2 clusters in SG are churches, and the SK outbreak seem to be also concentrating among churches? When I posted a question as to why are so many churches involved, below is the answer I got from another poster: "As to why a number of churches are involved, it shows the strong bonds and support within the Christian community that unfortunately also translate into an easier spread for the contagion." 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually an excellent question. If you think about it, it's actually rather counter-intuitive given that higher relative humidity (RH) will lead to greater stability of water in liquid form, and therefore, presumably greater persistence of the droplets responsible for transmission of the virus. So a few thoughts occurred to me - could it be an in vivo (human-related) phenomenon only? Mucosal surface ciliary clearance works best in moist conditions, which higher humidity supports. Or perhaps it could just be the high temperature, unrelated to the humidity? After all, the two tend to occur together in tropical climes. Both of those are inadequate explanations, when you consider the results of this study on "SARS classic":https://www.hindawi.com/journals/av/2011/734690/ Not only can the effect be demonstrated in vitro, but high humidity exerts an independent effect on the inactivation of virions. The study did throw up something very interesting though - it seems higher humidity only works well when you combine it with higher temperature. Increasing humidity when holding temperature at a constant lower value has practically no effect. So all that's empirical, but how to explain it mechanistically? I honestly don't know. My best guess is increased free radical generation (superoxide, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl) from dissolved oxygen and water at higher temperatures, but I don't known enough Chemistry to assess the plausibility of this hypothesis.

Death is peaceful. It is the transition that is troublesome." So we should all hope for a largely pain-free, quick transition. Lucky for us, we have you. Our own cut-price (cut-throat??) Chari-makan Charon, to help ferry us across the Styx. 😂😂😂 We can only hope, but no guarantee. I remember the old man had the same wish, but, it turned out otherwise!

I'm not a religious person, not am I generally given to magical thinking.

Jman888 Moderator February 22, 2020 Share February 22, 2020 talk about religion, I just want to share one incident last week. My wife and I were at space ship place around buona vista. We were sitting there after dinner when a guy and a girl approach us and ask us what we think about the virus..... I dun think it is a right time to spread your believe when we are trying to minimise contact. We were not wearing mask and they were, we told them we are not worried or think too much about the epidemic and it is not the end of the world.... they tried very hard but I told them it is really ok.... I dun want to know so much about life 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
