      They have found out that there is Covid in pee. So unless you can stop people peeing in the pool, I’m not going anywhere near one.https://twitter.com/boadicea23/status/1263913943627632640 …

      Except that chlorine quite effectively inactivates the virus; so if the pool is adequately taken care of this is not a problem.https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/life/health/2020/05/08/does-chlorine-kill-coronavirus-can-you-get-covid-19-from-public-swimming-pool-water-slide/3088745001/ …

          What about the virus exhaled from a set of lungs ? Masks aren’t effective when wet.

          Masks are quite effective. Any protection is better than no protection. https://bit.ly/3ggIiV9 pic.twitter.com/jAi5JQl8k1

          The pool part isn't the problem, same as on a bus the seats aren't the problem and in a restaurant the cutlery isn't the problem.

          What does ammonia do to the virus? Anything?

          My guess is ammonia dissolves the lipid coating in the virus, destroying it.

          not true they have done studies and chlorine does NOT take care of the pee problem in public pools, even with proper usage *GAG*

          He didn't say the pee he said the virus. The chlorine will take care of the virus, OTHER stuff in the pee might be different story.
