我想知道，有多少体液能像唾液一样具有暴风雨般的声誉？就在不久前，龋齿减少的宠儿还因其在咀嚼刺激下的缓冲能力而受到赞赏，现在它是气溶胶生成程序和污染物世界中的罪魁祸首。谁能预料到呢？与现实面对面是我们在过去几周里一直在做的事情，因为牙科已经在英国和世界上许多其他国家恢复，提供了非常不同的服务。但它是直接的轨迹从嘴，目前正在指导管理的做法，使用许多科学的猜测，如果不是完整的证据。因此，例如，至少在英国，虽然牙科可以在严格的条件下重新开始，但其他与患者或客户进行个人接触的服务却不能。理发师被认为在很大程度上站在客户的一边或后面，可以重新开始他们的业务。然而，在个人护理方面没有如此明显不同的钉杆被阻止在操作者和顾客彼此相对地坐着时恢复。
How many bodily fluids, I wonder, have as stormy a reputational profile as saliva? Only a short time ago the darling of caries reduction admired for its buffering capacity following stimulation by the action of chewing, it is now the arch-villain in a world of aerosol generating procedures and fomites. Who could have predicted?Coming face-to-face with reality is literally what we have been doing for the past few weeks as dentistry has been resuming in the UK and many other countries around the world, with a very different delivery. But it is the direct trajectory from the mouth that is currently guiding the management of practice using much scientific speculation, if not complete evidence. So, for example, in the UK at least, while dentistry can recommence albeit with strict conditions, other services which make personal contact with the patient or customer cannot. Hairdressers are deemed to stand for the most part to the side of or behind the client and can reopen their businesses. Nail bars however, not so apparently different in terms of personal care, are prevented from resuming as the operator and customer sit opposite each other.
