COVID-19 Survival on Human Skin |
|
"Wash your hands and don't touch your face"!
A new study evaluated the survival time of Covid 19 and Influenza A (IAV) virus on human skin surfaces. Read the Manuscript here
The study showed that IAV survives around 2 hours, and Covid 19 survives about 9 hours on skin. Good news: the virus is completely inactivated on skin surfaces by 80% ethanol disinfectants in 15 seconds.
"Conclusions: The 9-h survival of SARS-CoV-2 on human skin may increase the risk of contact transmission in comparison with IAV, thus accelerating the pandemic. Proper hand hygiene is important to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections."

New cases of Covid-19 have recently been confirmed in Warner. Please take precautions to be safe!
HALLOWEEN Trick-or-Treating
Statement from Warner PD:
"The CDC has discouraged Trick or Treating during the Covid -19 pandemic. For those who choose to Trick or Treat between 5 pm and 8 pm October 31, we ask that you be safe and responsible:
- Stay home if you are not feeling well.
- Wear a non-costume mask over your nose and mouth when trick-or-treating and handing out treats.
- Avoid large gatherings or parties and find ways to trick-or-treat while staying at least 6 feet away from others, including when handing out and accepting treats.
- Practice frequent hand cleaning - bring a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you while trick-or-treating, and use it often.
For those not wishing to participate in handing out treats, we ask that you turn off outside lights."
"We’ll share a few historical spooky tales on Halloween. We want to hear your favorite scary stories too."
Costumes are encouraged, but not required. Some stories may not be suitable for young ears.

Great New Nonfiction

Currier Museum of Art's October ARTalk Online with artist Skawennati. Free. Tues. Oct. 20
5 pm to 6 pm Skawennati discusses her work in the current exhibition Open World: Video Games and Contemporary Art. Her multi-platform series TimeTraveller™ features nine machinima episodes, a hybrid of “machine” and “cinema” that refers to a way of producing animated films using computer graphics and video game technology. The work explores indigenous self-representation in new media.
Online via Zoom for the first 100 registrants, and also livestreamed on the Currier’s Facebook page for unlimited viewing.
Going to see an Exhibit? Contact us for a museum pass to the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, The MFA in Boston, The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum or The NH Telephone Museum in Warner!
(Hurry! the two Warner museums' seasons end soon)

Library Tech Tips: Screen sharing in Zoom for games and photos! |
Can't get together for the holidays or a celebration? Some people are using Zoom to play games with each other, such as "Pictionary", using the screen sharing of the "whiteboard" option to draw images.
The host will need to give permission to others, to switch who shares their screen.(Thanks Terry Hathaway for the tip idea.)
Not sure how to do it all? No worries, you will all laugh a lot as you learn together! Or ask us for a free tutorial!
|
|
You can also share photos, just like an old fashioned home slide show. Just preselect your images and place in a special folder, then screen share the folder. (Hint: rename your photos with numbers to keep them in desired order.)
Need more time to play or chat? The free version of Zoom only allows 40 minutes for each "meeting" - but when it ends, you can all click on the same link to start it up again. Easy peasy.
Anyone with an email can create a free Zoom account at Zoom.us. Or contact us to book a time in the Library's Zoom "room".

Due to COVID-19 concerns, Simonds School will NOT be holding its annual Halloween parade this year. Individual classrooms will be recognizing this holiday in order to avoid "whole" school events.
