What painters use masks in normal conditons ffs

Actual painters you imbecile. Not some fella with a brush and a can. I did it for years and the amount of spraying you do is the vast majority of your time or you're cheap and or unskilled. You wear a respirator for about 50% of a real job, not some arl bird's sideboard.

I am seeing a report which is astounding and a bit of a game-changer if true: the virus was present in Barcelona in March 2019.

Odd one that.

Sentinel surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater anticipates the occurrence of COVID-19 cases

SARS-CoV-2 was detected in Barcelona sewage long before the declaration of the first COVID-19 case, indicating that the infection was present in the population before the first imported case was reported. Sentinel surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater would enable adoption of immediate...

From the pre-print ( so not yet peer reviewed )

Most COVID-19 cases show mild influenza-like symptoms (14) and it has been
suggested that some uncharacterized influenza cases may have masked COVID-19 cases in the 2019-2020 season (11). This possibility prompted us to analyze some
archival WWTP samples from January 2018 to December 2019 (Figure 2). All samples came out to be negative for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genomes with the exception of March 12, 2019, in which both IP2 and IP4 target assays were positive. This striking finding indicates circulation of the virus in Barcelona long before the report of any COVID-19 case worldwide. Barcelona is a business and commerce hub, as well as a popular venue for massive events, gathering visitors from many parts of the world. It is nevertheless likely that similar situations may have occurred in several other parts of the world, with circulation of unnoticed COVID-19 cases in the community.

Seems weird that it seen in a sample from March 2019, but no others from that year. The next sample that showed traces of the virus was mid-January 2020, which is one hell of a gap.

Yes, that is the odd thing about it, the gap. I am keeping an eye on the proceedings.

Be interesting to see if anyone else can repeat their findings from their own old frozen samples from Spring / Summer 2019. It's tempting to dismiss it as a sample contamination issue, but you never know.
