Two metres or one: what is the evidence for physical distancing in covid-19?
Date of Publication: August 2020
The information of how safe we need to maintain to avoid COVID-19 transmission needs to be studied in detail.
Eventhough virus RNA was found on surfaces, none were thought to be able to transmit disease.
The larger droplets traveled farther compared to the smaller droplets. This was due to the increase drag on the smaller droplets.
“Breathing out, singing, coughitng and sneezing generated warm moisr high momentum dropplets. These travel faster that the typical backgrund air ventilation flow.”

The oxygen dissociation curve: quantifying the shift
Date of Publication: February 2003
The oxygen dissociation curve is the model how the exygen delivery takes place at cellular level. This is dependent on a number of varaibles. These included temp, Ph, 2,3 DPG and CO2.
A procedure for determining subject-specific pulse oxygen saturation response
Date of Publication: January 2020
Subject-specific pulse oxygen saturation response has been investigated. This allows for specific conditons to be dtudied. Therfore, better oxygen delivery can be tailored for specific conditions.
Zn2+ Inhibits Coronavirus and Arterivirus RNA Polymerase Activity In Vitro and Zinc Ionophores Block the Replication of These Viruses in Cell Culture
Date of Publication: November 2010
Zinc ions are involved in many different cellular processes and have proven crucial for the proper folding and activity of various cellular enzymes and transcription factors.
Increasing the intracellular Zn2+ concentration with zinc-ionophores like pyrithione (PT) can efficiently impair the replication of a variety of RNA viruses, including poliovirus and influenza virus. For some viruses this effect has been attributed to interference with viral polyprotein processing.zinc_Coronavirus
Feasibility of controlling COVID-19 outbreaks by isolation of cases and contacts
Date of Publication: February 2020
Isolation of cases and contact tracing is used to control outbreaks of infectious diseases. This has been used for COVID-19. Whether this strategy will achieve control depends on characteristics of both the pathogen and the response.Feasibility of controlling COVID-19 outbreaks by isolation of cases and contacts.
