@sonhouse saidCopper is in the same column in the periodic table of elements as silver, so they would have quite similar outer electron shell configurations, and so make similar covalent bonds with other elements. Studies have shown that the half-life of many viruses -- including I think the novel coronavirus -- is particularly short on a copper surface. Copper is an essential mineral for humans, though toxic in larger doses. I'd be leery of ingesting too much silver and becoming a gray-skinned freak suffering from argyria.
@Eladar
Which is just a cop out so you clearly won't answer the question. It's not like you were accused of treason, it was a simple question about why you think silver is superior to copper in terms of anti viral action.

@eladar saidit is hard to say exactly which state of the USA is worst hit but judging by this map in the link below the worst his states are Washington, New York, Michigan, Louisana, and cannot quite make out that last bad hit one but I guess you could say C19 is, or at least was, "out of control" in those 5 states.
@sonhouse
So, what state exactly that you believe is out of control with covid?

@eladar saidThen according to your source of info it was New York & New Jersey & Connecticut where C19 was most out of control. The map got at least one right (New York).

@eladar saidI assume the death rate in New York is currently going down?
@humy
I am using worldometer.
I wonder if others will agree that New York is out of control.
Sonhouse?
Anyway, regardless of whether you can say its currently out of control in New York, I would definitely say it was for a while in the past what I would call 'out of control' there in New York. I looked up some of the past statistics and it looks like it was pretty bad there for a while and more so than most other states.

@sonhouse saidSo what states are out of control on the other side of the curve?
@Eladar
From what I hear, NY is on the good side of the curve, going down. The problem is the rest of the country opening up too early and there ARE already spikes in new cases and deaths.
Of course you have no empathy for humans so it doesn't matter to you.
Just like your god king.

@humy saidLol, find one state that was worse.
