Shocking video proves face shields don't work to stop the spread of coronavirus

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Face shields offer no protection against coronavirus if an infected person nearby sneezes without a mask on, a study shows. Researchers used computer models to visualise the spread of droplets around a face shield ejected by a human sneeze from 3ft (1m) away. It reveals'vortex rings' produced by the sneeze carry infectious particles to the face shield in less than a second and stick to the edges of the plastic. Researchers say if the timing of this wave of coronavirus particles coincides with the face shield wearer breathing in, the person can become infected. Wearing a face mask has a negative impact on our ability to communicate with others, according to a new survey.

Artificial intelligence has already proved its potential in diverse areas, with performing tedious, mundane tasks in a complex environment, enabling businesses to drive efficiency and more. Today's routine lives are totally impacted by the technology as it provides people a different capability to do their works. AI even offers healthcare professionals the ability to perform crucial treatment with ease. Now the technology could be leveraged to improve efficiencies and precision in sleep disorder treatment, resulting in more improved care and better patient outcomes, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's (AASM) new position statement. Developed by AASM's Artificial Intelligence in Sleep Medicine Committee and published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, the position statement noted that the electrophysiological data collected during polysomnography – the most comprehensive study on sleep – is well-positioned for enhanced analysis with AI and machine learning.

In the fight against coronavirus, doctors have been given a helping hand, thanks to coronavirus patrol robots . The robots are being used in hospitals in Shenyang in China's northeastern Liaoning province, in the hopes of preventing the virus from spreading. The bots can quickly check people's temperatures and identities, and even disinfect them, according to AFP. AFP explained: "The hospital uses the robot to reduce the pressure on front-line medical staff and to avoid cross infections from the COVID-19 coronavirus." These aren't the only robots being used to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
