A complete volte-face on how Britain is responding to Covid is the way to end the pandemic, according to some experts.

Ashlely Woodcock, professor of respiratory medicine at the University of Manchester, does not believe the virus is airborne but is largely being transferred by touch on surfaces.

Shifting the focus to cleaning homes and coating public amenities such as cashpoints with long-lasting disinfectants could rapidly stop the spread, he believes.

Most airborne viruses, such as measles, have very high reproduction numbers, with one person typically infecting more than a dozen others. Yet even on aeroplanes, where the air is circulated for many hours, only small numbers of people have picked up the virus.

“People have been looking for coronavirus in the air for about six months and there is one paper so far where they generated an aerosol of the virus artificially where they have shown persistence in the air,” Prof Woodcock said. “Nobody has identified coronavirus in the air in Sainsbury’s or a school or a pub. What they have done is found it everywhere on surfaces, on cashpoints, on phones, on supermarket tills.

“I think social distancing is important, but just so you don’t touch anybody. We need to have a ‘Let’s Clean Britain’ campaign.”

Bacoban meets all the criteria which Professor Woodstock recommends to reduce the spread of the virus.

self disinfecting

Passengers disinfecting aircraft resulting in damage.

Recently, on social media accounts, numerous people have been broadcasting the way they disinfect their seat, table etc on board aircraft before travelling as a way of staying safe during the flight. A good example is Naomi Campbell. The problem is that they are not using approved products for the disinfection. The products used (eg Alcohol wipes) will without doubt damage surfaces, for example leather. It will be very difficult to stop passengers doing this as they need the additional confidence that their area has been properly disinfected.

Frasers Aerospace have come up with a solution. Single, pre-saturated Bacoban for Aerospace wipes. By handing them out to passengers and asking them to use them if they want. This way, operators can be sure that no damage will occur to their aircraft and passengers will retain confidence that their area has been disinfected properly. The wipes are extremely economical especially when considering the damage they are preventing.

The team at Frasers Aerospace have been working flat out to keep up with the exceptional demand for Bacoban for Aerospace. Airlines and operators are realizing that the advantages of Bacoban for Aerospace help protect passengers while onboard the aircraft. Airlines have stepped up their cleaning procedures dramatically, Frasers Aerospace has been able to maintain supply during this difficult time.

Here is an interesting article which discusses the efforts made by airlines.

Covid-19

I would like to share a story with my contacts on LinkedIn.

The world today is facing an epidemic called Covid-19, yet another virus threatening global populations. We, in the aviation industry, are without a doubt responsible for its rapid spread around the globe. Now airlines scramble to declare how they are providing the maximum care for their passengers describing how their cleaning crews provide intensive and detailed cleaning procedures using approved cleaning products to ensure that cabins are thoroughly prepared and sterilised between flights. Here is the issue to consider, approved cleaning chemicals are abundant simple disinfection chemicals will destroy viruses rendering cabins sterile and ready for the boarding of the passengers on the next flight.

This is where the major problem begins! When passengers board a sterile aircraft, and one passenger, infective with any virus boards the aircraft, that passenger will infect the aircraft with the virus they have, just by touching door handles, armrests, seats, visiting the toilet. After that, the next passenger who touches those areas can become infected.

This is the weakness of the current procedure for avoiding the spread of the virus in cabins. In other words, current cleaning procedures only destroy viruses and bacteria already on the aircraft. The challenge is to provide virus-free surfaces between flights to prevent re-infection of passengers. We have, over the years, looked and studied many approved (including FDA and EPA approved) products which provide longer-term protection, tested and proven! Not just claims by the manufacturer, we have only found one which has been tested and certified to provide more than one-day protection, this product is certified to provide surfaces with 10 days protection.

just over 10 years ago, we discovered a product called Bacoban, a class 2A medical device (used to sterilise operating theatres) which can be used to provide long term protection to passengers to passengers onboard aircraft.

We have continued to support this technology for the past 10 years + and now airlines have realised that simple disinfectants do not actually provide real protection for passengers. Long term, proven protection is the only way to effectively protect and reduce the spread of any virus now and in the future!

Bacoban for Aerospace is now being used by numerous major airlines, Business Jet operators to provide the maximum protection for their passengers and customers.

Get in touch with us now to discuss how we can help you, as far as we are aware, no other product on the market offers this level of protection!
