HVAC issues have been mentioned in this report going back all the way to early April – yet here we are still complexed and amazed – use your google translator to convert to English the latest on an outbreak at a Starbucks in Korea – https://www.insight.co.kr/news/299857

56 confirmed cases arise from a Starbucks- they note “oddly enough none of the employees at the time were infected” – its not oddly just like the Chinese restaurant study the staff doesn’t sit at the table and talk with people for 30min+ Plus in this case the employees also wore mask and gloves. IF you are in a public indoor space do what you can to reduce your time there plus reduce viral load entering your body by wearing a mask. A better mask produces better result but even cotton covering is a substantial improvement to none. Public spaces need to do what they can to reduce viral load. R&D and testing needs to be done on the various solutions out there and guidelines should be set in terms of most effective to least.

India state of Gujarat looks to be pushing their homeopathic drug – The Gujarat health department has said it distributed homeopathic drug Arsenicum Album-30 to more than half of the state’s population as prophylaxis since March after the outbreak of COVID-19. – https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/covid-19-homeopathic-drug-given-to-half-of-gujarat-population-since-march-6566548/

“In its presentation made before the World Health Organisation on August 20 on Gujarat’s COVID-19 prevention strategy, the health department said it distributed Arsenicum Album-30 to 3.48 crore people, which is more than half of the state’s population of 6.6 crore.

There is no scientific evidence that the drug works against COVID-19, a fact stressed not only by medical scientists but by some homeopathic practitioners themselves.”

“The state government claimed that 99.69 per cent of people who availed AYUSH remedies as prophylaxis during their quarantine period tested negative for coronavirus.

However, a clinical trial related to the prophylaxis nature of Arsenicum Album-30 for coronavirus in the state has not yet yielded any conclusive result, an official said.

Gujarat Principal Secretary, Health, Jayanti Ravi on Sunday said the government has some reason to believe about theefficacy of Arsenicum Album-30 medicine, as out of thousands of quarantined people who were given the dosage of Arsenicum Album-30, “99.69 per cent eventually tested negative for coronavirus”.

“Even 0.3 per cent who tested positive had only mild symptoms. We have prima facie reason to believe in some effectiveness of Arsenicum Album-30 against coronavirus. But to actually establish this, we need more rigorous analysis,” Ravi said.””
