Even more will die if this would cause a war.

Is it, especially now, unhealthy to pick your nose?

Breathing through the nose contributes to the protection against viruses, because the nose and nose hairs act as a natural filter. Is it dangerous to pick your nose? And can you get sick if you then put it in your mouth?

First of all, it's not just the nose hairs that stop the virus. Much more important is the layer of mucus on the mucous membrane in the nose,' mails Wytske Fokkens, Professor of Throat Nose and Earknowledge at the Amsterdam UMC.

This layer of mucus, or snot, contains various antibodies (such as enzymes, antibodies and proteins) to protect the nose and therefore the body against infection. The moment a virus particle is able to break through, the coronavirus ends up on the epithelium (tissue), where it can bind via so-called ACE receptors. This is followed by an immune response of the body'.

Can you get sick if you put it in your mouth and swallow it? The same receptors are in the stomach, where there is also a risk of infection. Breeders: 'It is not known if virus particles that you pick from your nose and put in your mouth will infect you faster. But it seems unlikely to me.'

In addition, picking your nose goes against the regulations to prevent contamination: the face should be touched as little as possible. What's more, if the virus is on your hands, you can even put it into your nose by picking it yourself (also for this reason: washing your hands regularly).

And there may be plenty of reasons to cherish snot, as a natural barrier of the olfactory organ against viruses. But certainly not enough to put it in your mouth as well.

everything should be back to normal by may

FOX NEWS now reporting that Coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab

Michigan on one

In The Netherlands they did research on antibodies in the blood of people. Likely 3% of the Dutch population carry them. So it's likely that hundred of thousands of people (around 500k) had it here. Interesting was that mostly the young people in the sample had antibodies against the virus

The registered amount of cases is 28k here rn

This is important for the mortality rate. If the research is representative for the whole population is a bit difficult, but it won't deviate that much

Wonder how many of those Michigan’s going to die

lmaoooooo

Wish I had this optimism

Nah viruses don't just vanish just like that fam

Another day closer my brothas

Thread losing steam. That means the virus is almost done!

Filled up the tank for $13

Life after this not gonna be the same

thank god

birthday parties will inherently be always a risk. Concerts won't be safe anymore
