Yes indeed: just mind to keep it on your mouth and nose only. Whilst for eyes you’d rather wear screens… so go DIY for head protection!

A quick look to our slices
ITU “slice” now stably below 1%.
Home observation “slice” has consistently increased up to 93% of the whole positive cases.
Would that be related to promptness in diagnostics and therapeutics procedures?
Might the range of infected individuals have shifted towards categories with lesser risks for critical illnesses?
Could be severity viral load dependent? In other words: is that possibile that the whole prophylactic interventions and/or strategies (social distancing, PPE, isolation, lock-down etc) achieved a reduction of the viral load on exposed subjects?
May have the same prophylactic intervention and strategies reduced the probability to expose simultaneously our immune system to different haplotypes (variants)?
Or, has this pandemic now switched to a prevalent haplotype (variant) significantly less agressive, among those several known and unknown?
We are quite far from understanting and the truth remains uncertain. Would the possible explanation include a combination of different circumstances and factors?
Whilst proceeding with caution much room for our fears is left: though Fear vaccine has been available, somehow, for centuries…
Should we then get a rooster for Asklepio, at some point?
