After watching that I watched the following one, which I highly recommend. It gets into immunity, is well presented and gets into antibody detection, something I was getting really curious about:

to explain, only the italian embassy would help me, but then they would likely only repatriate me .. to italy. where i do not live.
british embassy would probably not even let me in as i don't have a british passport.
my situation is, that I'm in awesome weather in a house (AirBnB) that i pay less per month that i would pay my house in the UK. I am also not paying my UK house as i was in-between houses and all my stuff is in storage.
Work ... i believe that my job is safe as long as it is demonstrable that i cannot return. Im also on a sort-of set wage so technically if i cannot return but just wait it out here, I'm actually on a profit. Life in Argentina is CHEAP. I have been here over 2 weeks and i've spent about $300.

Definitely good to count your blessings as it could have been much worse. I hope this works out in the end!

Was just washing my hands and face and I had a thought...
could it help to leave soap on your face and in your nostrils? Even if it dries out it could reliquify if it transfers with the virus to your mucous membranes.
Also, I keep forgetting to mention this but I'd prefer dish detergent or regular soap over antibacterial soap. Not just because viruses aren't bacteria, but because they have bactine in them, which leaves a protective film on your skin rather than washing clean. If the film itself doesn't wash away from the soapy water then perhaps it could harbor the virus. Maybe it breaks down the lipid envelope too, I dunno, but it seems to me that regular soap is a safer bet.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here.

YEA!! Lets end social distancing Trump. Open up those borders.
Yea, but you touched the screen without gloves. Did you wash your hands?

That video is clearly bullshit. It's from a long time ago and someone slapped Coronavirus on it to get views.
Tons of these types of videos from 2019.

Does anyone know how I determine when it's time for another flu shot? I got one last summer when a bunch of people were getting sick.
If the shot has been updated for newer strains, I should get another flu shot. How do I know when / if it has been updated?

No wonder the person touched the food after touching the screen without disinfecting her hand.

Influenza vaccines for the next season are usually released in August/September, if I remember correctly. And you'll want to get it as early as possible, as it can take 2-4 weeks for your body to build the immunity from the vaccine.

The flu vaccine is released in October. So you received the 2018/2019 vaccine, not the updated 2019/2020 vaccine.

They detected rna, but did not mention if the intact whole virus was still viable. (Virus is rna surrounded by a protein coat)

It would be funny if at the end the thing starts beeping and flashing lights with a voice "Warning! Warning! Coronavirus infected person detected!" then it just sets itself on fire and keeps going, while on fire.
