This would effectively resterilize masks, but probably could not be used to resterilize more than once or twice since it damages plastic and elastomers. It is also about a 16 hour process, and there are only about a dozen facilities in the US that can do Gamma. It works by exposing the devices (or veggies) to Cobalt 60.

JJkizak Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The news just said the process is now certified by the FDA and each mask can be sterilized 20 times. JJK 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Understand from the news that the quick test kits are going to first responders, health care workers, and those drive through testing places. 50,000 per week. Maybe it can be ramped up. Takes 15 minutes not 45 seconds like first reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Well, there is at least one up side to all this. The restaurants are closed so Walmart is getting the AAA beef now, lots of it, and priced only twice as much as lean ground! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end result is somewhere inbetween. You're quoting worst case scenario. Models now show about 84,000 predicted dead from C19. About same as 2017-2018 Flue season. https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections?fbclid=IwAR1TzhAOpQza4HELTO8C6RtytagXnX3LcWXbSg9EtWjCSNxynzTsM3MdTPk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco-d-gama Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Puhleeze stop attempting to equate covid19 to any flu except the 1918 flu. Why? Because those 2 events have one big thing in common - ZERO human immunity to a lethal virus. During a normal flu season hospitals do not get buried in critically sick peoples. Sure a lot of people get sick but it is spread out spatially and over time. A regular flu season is manageable. Yes influenza kills but covid19 is shown to be 15X more fatal and that’s with the best care possible. Hopefully covid19 will ONLY kill less than 100,000. That will happen ONLY if America keeps itself shut-in and sequestered for whatever length of time is needed to stifle this bug. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
