In terms of "unproven" - what specific social factor(s) associated with "inequality" was responsible for the observed difference? Could it be a cultural - in terms of difference in distancing and mask use practices?

Sunscreens are drugs in US, and TiO2 in the products may "block" UV light and is also photoactivated to produce free radicals. France banned E171 (commercial TiO2 used in many products) in 2020 (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-9-2019-003009_EN.html) observing there was not enough data to confirm its safety in context. Subsequent research has challenged the study that provoked the ban https://scitechdaily.com/france-banned-this-common-food-additive-the-fda-says-is-safe-who-is-right/ and https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691519305836?via%3Dihub FDA and (I think) EU to this point have not changed GRAS status. Zaffy - save you money. The brush at best is a gimmick. Gimmicks do sell - but not usualy not in volume.

What you should take away from these observations is that microbes are everywhere. They're not necessarily growing - may be present as dormant spores. As RobertMD observed - it does look like Rhizopus sp. (look for it on Google images) but it's neither possible to identify specifically the microbes from the pictures nor estimate the health of using the water bottle bsed on th pictures.

Can you ;provide data for covid-related increases in antibiotic use significant to development of resistance?

I'd not take a book as reliable cite for patient zero. What are the relevant published data?

I see, this is about you.

Sounds pretty subjective. Sure seems as a leap - a federal law requiring Ken's imagined and tbd "HSDS"? I doubt this will enjoy fed legislative priority.

Does your HSDS and it's grading algorithm exist at this point?

I don't think MSDS sheets are relevant. They largely and briefly report specific data with some very limited stuff on disposal and safety. You need more for a protocl.

Don't think the public would comprehend such protocols. Relevant articles:, latter cites ASHRAE standards. https://www.achrnews.com/articles/105354-a-guide-to-best-practices-in-hospital-iaq and https://www.csemag.com/articles/indoor-air-quality-in-hospitals/

Perhaps hospitals have established relevant protocols. HSDS is your term.

btw - Pasteurization does not replace hydrogen peroxide in WHO recipe and isopropanol not propanol is the alternative sanitizing agent. FDA and WHO recommend against additions irrelevant to sanitizer objective - perfume, aloe, essential oils etc..

"Research" is an activity and goat "example" is speculation. What is your hypothesis?

James - again what is hypothesis and exp. design, simply stated, without reference or discussion.

James - numbers aside, what is your hypothesis and ho would you test?

Of course - and some of which are not.

"Experts" say a lot of things

Microbiome is more than fecal transplant,and only the last link is from a peer-reviewed source of data. The 1st announces FDA review - can you provide relevant citation?. The second is here say citing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30775438 that does indicate at least temporary effect of fecal transplant to germ free mice.

As with all the biased claims of Trump and therapy/vaccine. This too is BS. Who cares what allegedly angers Germans?

As a German you should know Robert Koch, a contemporary of Pasteur, was much more the founder of medical microbiology both in describing the agents of disease and the accomplishments of his laboratory and students. See Koch's postulates. As you're interested in pathology, I'd not start with molecular biology but disease and their agents. See latest ed. of Topley and Wilson's Microbiology and Microbial Diseases

No John. Although treated water is not sterile, bacteria in drinking water are large from the distribution system.

Think one must take China stats with a grain of salt. WSJ reports China ended Wuhan lockdown - allowing both inbound and outbound traffic. However some housing complexes are still restricted. Worrisome - one state news outlet reported 20.000-30.000 new asymptomatic cases - a report that has been deleted.
