possible to limit it to a certain region china and even the world yes let me just bring in mohammed moneer who talks about the way that the quote a virus is transmitted have a listen to. that's orders that wore off for many viruses and they only tell us to 1st inspect and intermediate host before the viruses or for the doctor to there and then transmitted to humans since the article on the lightest was originated from a 6 foot mark each they were made for from different animals were really works or there are fewer chances that they accept transmitted dividers to some animals and then to human as was the case in sarce all of us back in court and 3 so let me just say this with a question you can tell me is this is this is from rains twas a thing and raise shares this about with the nurses of who had union hospital and doing the cutting their hair short before starting work for fever clinic on the mony award long hair would likely catch fire us as a lot of information out there not all of it accurate we're cutting your hair help prevent you catching the kind of virus where the virus needs to
