Five-year-old daughter of two Detroit emergency responders dies after contracting coronavirus and spending two weeks on a ventilator
A five-year-old Michigan girl who complained to her parents a month ago of a headache has died after contracting the coronavirus.
After spending two weeks on a ventilator, Skylar Herbert of Detroit died Sunday.
She had tested positive for COVID-19 in March and later developed a rare form of meningitis and brain swelling.
Her mother LaVondria said Skylar's improvement had stopped, and that doctors said she was possibly brain dead.
'We basically just knew she wasn't coming back to us,' said the mother, the Detroit News reports.
Skylar, the daughter of Detroit first responders, is believed to be the first child infected with the coronavirus to die in Michigan.
Her parents say they don't know how Skylar contracted the virus and that she had no other health issues.
Before her, the youngest person to die from COVID-19 was 20, according to Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services.

\"TODAY spoke to experts to understand the science behind the technology and found that its efficacy could become compromised weeks into its application, even though the protective coating was advertised to be able to self-disinfect surfaces for up to three months or more a spritz.\"
What’s the “long lasting disinfectant “? Is this available to the public? If it’s accessible to us, it’ll help reduce the burden of frequency of cleaning door knobs, Gates, etc Are the Banks using such long lasting disinfectant for their ATMs, those self-service kiosk for parcel deposits, MRT top-up Kiosks, etc? Anyone hv info on this?
Read from yesterday's article (https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/explainer-are-self-disinfecting-coatings-latest-covid-19-hero-too-good-be-true) that the brand of self-disinfecting coating applied on HDB lift button is SDST (https://sdst.com.sg). The pre-order batch has sold out though.

Ah, :thankyou: for sharing. Indeed, as I suspect efficacy can be compromised or abused to reduce its efficacy. In a way, it gives public a false sense of safety with public lift buttons & banks’ ATM kiosks, etc. At least a step towards working a longer term support to maintaining good hygiene & there’s more room for improvement by our scientific community. M’time, best we continue to exercise higher level of hygiene washing hands as often.

no la. just means ppl holding oil wants to pay you money to take away their oil. something like if iphone price becomes negative, you pay other ppl to take your iphone instead of them paying you.
