One thing we know for sure – every single person can help our country control the COVID-19 pandemic. From wearing a mask to washing your hands to maintaining physical distance and avoiding large indoor gatherings, each of us can follow proven public health practices that not only reduce our own chance of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes coronavirus disease, or COVID-19), but also prevent the spread of COVID-19 to our coworkers, friends and loved ones. Another thing that will help is testing as many people as possible. Testing for COVID-19 is so important that in April 2020, the NIH launched the  Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Initiative  to develop rapid, easy-to-use, accurate testing and make it available nationwide. As part of this effort, the  RADx Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program  is about finding solutions to stop the spread of COVID-19, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, and other vulnerable populations that have been dispropo...

Image
Copper Clothing Limited ( vetementscuivre , distributeur en France) est une entreprise qui incorpore des formulations antimicrobiennes de cuivre dans des tissus, tels que des lits, des draps, des chaussettes, des masques, des gants, des pyjamas, etc., et les vend aux consommateurs. En 2014, il a financé des recherches pour tester l’efficacité de l’activité viricide du tissu de cuivre sur le coronavirus bovin. Le test a été réalisé par un laboratoire viral spécialisé de l’Institut d’hygiène et de microbiologie du Dr Brill + Partner GmbH. L’activité viricide du matériau traité a été évaluée en comparant l’activité viricide du matériau non traité. L’étude a révélé que le tissu imprégné de cuivre peut lutter efficacement contre le virus et le détruire.   En résumé, la différence observée entre les matériaux testés est basée sur le processus d’inactivation durant le processus de séchage de 10 minutes (facteur de réduction de 3,94 log du cuivre traité et 1,13 log du matériau non traité)   Ex...
