"Vaping CBD oil is legal in the UK and has become extremely popular - typically used to relieve pain, anxiety or stress.

But because it sometimes contains trace elements of THC - the main psychoactive compound found in cannabis - Billy was arrested and thrown in prison under the UAE’s harsh drug laws."

Don't risk it; Just use lab grown CBD with no THC at all.

Grow your own cannabis made legal in Luxembourg but only 4 plants each. Want to supersize them?..NNN have just the stuff to do it.

"Adults in Luxembourg will be permitted to grow up to four cannabis plants in their homes or gardens under laws that will make it the first country in Europe to legalise production and consumption of the drug."

"Ministers recently relaxed Belgium's mandatory use of facemasks but are now encouraging the public to use them again to help prevent the spread of the virus."

That's funny @Mallet
So to sum up if our competitors make it pay we should give up because they are so good, and if our competitors can't make it pay we should give up because if they can't do it no-one can. ROTFL pull the other one.

Why did they need to bring a copper mask if their silver mask technology was so good?

Can't see the info on their site; How long does their mask last before it needs changing?
Could work out a pricey alternative if it's only the standard 2 hours and not 7 hours like pro_larva.

"Half of British adults think there will be another Covid lockdown this year, according to a new poll.

The survey, by Savanta ComRes, found that 49 per cent believe there will be further lockdowns, with 74 per cent concerned about another virus wave this winter. Fears are highest amongst those aged over 55, at 78 per cent."

"“You have decreases in cases and deaths when you wear masks, and you have increases in cases and deaths when you have in-person restaurant dining,” Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in March in response to CDC data showing a link between indoor dining and increased COVID-19 cases."

Here we go again! Mask up for winter and stay safe.

Just to add; That is assuming that our filters will be replaced at the same rate as existing filters. It is of course possible that with the antiviral ability in some circumstances the filters could potentially last longer before they need to be changed.

We saw this effect with the masks where a regular surgical mask has to be changed approximately every 2 hours but ours are good for 7 hours each.
This means that even if our product is more expensive if it replaces multiple cheaper products the end customer could make cost savings with our kit.

It really makes no difference at all what rate the filter needs to be replaced if it's already being done with a non-antiviral filter then the on-costs of replacing the filters whenever they need to be replaced is something that has already been factored into the decision to have filters in the first place.

It's unlikely that our filter will be anything other than a simple slot in replacement for what they are already using. If there were to be a difference n the costs of fitting it's likely that the existing fitting services would be more expensive since the filters have not been automatically decontaminated already.

That still doesn't make sense.
If filters in Operating theatres have to be changed every 24h(I'll take your word that they do);
Then don't they already incur the cost of changing the existing non-antiviral filters?
Why would it be more costly to fit our filter instead?

@WildGuess That's complete tosh.
Why should the filters only work for 7 hours just because that's the upper time limit on the testing of the masks?
It just doesn't follow at all.

Copper is quite likely to never lose it's antiviral ability. There could well be Bronze age artefacts sitting in museums somewhere that are still killing microbes even now.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3067274/
"It is noteworthy that in contrast to laboratory studies, in which unused copper surfaces are usually tested, this hospital trial employed “aged” surfaces. The items to be tested were installed at least 6 months prior to commencement of the study. This also allowed domestic staff and health care workers to become accustomed to the copper-containing fixtures. In addition, it provides support for the notion that copper surfaces will not lose their antimicrobial activity over time. Nevertheless, long-term studies are still required to evaluate the sustainability of the antimicrobial properties of copper surfaces over the course of several years."

Sorry UG I missed your question.
I will of course be happy to post some more links for you, just not today as I have very limited time to pop on here at the weekend.
Keep watching this space and I'll be sure to let you have more links as soon as I can :)

@Poor Tottel has been Pasteurised :)
About time he came round to the benefits of anti-microbial technology.

@DR M. No worries. You are welcome.

The have already said that surgical masks are fine in most cases.
Our masks are surgical masks.

"Most of the airlines that have mandated the use of medical-grade masks list surgical or FFP2 types as suitable. "

It seems the move is away from cloth masks that have been shown not to work as well.(see the Nature article with randomized trials I pointed UG to the other day).

If you follow the links in the article you can see that they also include reference to surgical masks as being acceptable:

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/01/26/960893423/some-european-countries-move-to-require-medical-grade-masks-in-public

"A number of European countries have announced new mask recommendations and requirements, pushing aside fabric masks in favor of surgical masks or medical-grade respirators."

No it doesn't. They have mandated the use of 'medical grade masks' and only some of them let you use FFP.

"Most of the airlines that have mandated the use of medical-grade masks list surgical or FFP2 types as suitable. "

?@Syrup..Which article are you reading?

"What is a medical-grade mask?
This is either a single-use filtering facepiece respirator (FFP), a surgical mask of the type nurses wear that are often sold in bulk, or an FFP2-type mask — all of which offer some of the highest levels of filtration."

UG Do you post as Capri on Twitter? :)

Spain keeping mandatory masks to prevent Flu not just Covid.

I'm getting really excited about the filters.
I think this could be a company maker regardless of the mask.
It's been RNS'd that we have gone past the proof of concept stage and now it's all about scaling up production and sales.
Volz know exactly what they are doing here. Manufacturing and selling filters is what they do!
Everyone is going to want safer buildings and the NHS put air filtration before masks in the hierarchy of infection control measures as unlike masks they are not intrusive.

A few words from Mark Duffin would be nice or maybe a classic Cave Twitter ramp to get us started. :)
