Every lab test goes through Geneva so you could say that the first Corina virus case was confirmed there.

McTavge, you are encouraging anti-foreignism! Tom will simply claim, it was brought by a frontalieri. Shame on you both.  | | | | | Only blaming the English! |

I managed to buy two boxes of surgical masks after trying for two months now in 10+ online stores.
Will start wearing them on trains. I know somebody will say it's not that effective (not covering the eyes etc...) but I rather protect myself a little bit...
The other day a lady stood up ready to get of train and at that moment coughed on everyone like a shower... |

Actually I got a whole lot of those masks. I wonder, do they help with hayfever-like problems? (I'm new to this problem  )

Might prevent pollen from entering nose and mouth, if they are fine enough to restrict the pollen. Will still get pollen in the eyes.

(I'm new to this problem ) | | | | | but it's best to cure from within, I did some googling for my brother and was wondering if I should go the "bee pollen" route, it's kinda like "vaccine", getting your body used to pollen so it doesn't attack like crazy.

A little suffering does not harm anyone
Considering the emergency tablets I'm supposed to carry with me 24/7, anything "bee" does not appeal to me (apart from their honey).

The pollen gets to the eyes.Might help with the pollen up the nose thing. But simply wear sun glasses. People will think you are doing a Michael Jackson!

by the way, this might be another thing I'm prepared to be laughed at, buttons, tram door buttons, train door buttons, lift buttons, they don't get disinfected from time to time, I'm gonna bring a used-up ball pen, take the cap off, press those buttons, put the cap back on and get on-off trains...
because rubbing your hands with hand-disinfections dry up your hands, kills as well the good bacterias and makes u easier infected, i heard...

Do a nasal wash out with a sterile salt solution-available at pharmacies.And dont use paper tissues. Use cloth.

It seems fitting that this virus originated in China-a land that has absolutely no respect for animal life. |

Primarily as people only spread the stuff over their hands, they don’t rub it into the nooks and crannies. It is better than nothing but nowhere as good as a vigorous hand wash.

This subject gets omtatsat so excited, he even forgot how to multi-quote. Worse, he needs two separate posts to answer one single question.

I’d like to visit pharmacy/drogorie tomorrow. Any suggestions on cold/flu products not requiring a prescription?
I’ve used NeoCitric briefly and that’s about it.
Thanks.
