MJ's little flock

This isn't the study I remember reading before so I will keep looking but this is something.

1-2 weeks at 37.5 C if also at 80% humidity. Same temperature without the humidity still significantly infectious after 3 weeks. I only get those temperatures for a few days at a time so not relevant for me. Not sure what you get or whether you have the humidity.

This paper has something on disinfection - but I have better on that because I bought a bottle on the basis of the data. Will find that too.

1-2 weeks at that temp occurs every few years, but with very low humidity.

Thank you so much

Damn. I was worried you wouldn’t have the humidity.

But at least I have learned the hot wash on the pjs is probably killing the virus as well as washing it away. 90C, 100%.

Yes! Good point.

The soap used in laundry also breaks down the virus.

Ah! More good news. Thanks Bob.

In other sad news, Erica and Ivy were dropped off for their cremation this morning. I'll pick up their ashes in a few days and scatter them under the jacaranda, which is a shady spot they both enjoyed and near their friends.

The organisation offering the cremation service is an animal welfare charity, and any profit from the money spent on cremating Erica and Ivy will do good for other animals, which is nice.

That's very nice. After our experience with Phyllis, we are planning to cremate our future losses and spread them under the apple trees we know they love so much.

Lovely.

It feels like the right way to go.

This morning the pullets are not only stress-free, but zooming around in sheer joy for the first time since arriving, perhaps for the first time ever.

So I can honestly tell Dr Mark their stress has been relieved (he was clear stress is a factor in Marek's flare ups).
