Protests do not seem to have spiked COVID cases...this may be why

There does appear to be a deficiency in the logic in withdrawing.

DId you read your own citiation?

There is little information on the efficacy of face masks in filtering respiratory viruses and reducing viral release from an individual with respiratory infections8, and most research has focused on influenza11,12.

Only 17% of their 111 test subjects even had CV19.

WildRose · 2020-07-01T06:49:02.464Z

What is the comparative size of those bacteria and CV 19?

Did they test the total amount discharged around the leaks where the mask is not sealed or only that going directly forward?

The Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: What We Know So Far

Coronavirus COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 FAQs.

E. Coli, the most commonly used bacteria in Micro classes is over 200x larger than Covid. It would therefore take a mask more than 200x more dense to stop an equal amount of virus particles from getting through and that doesn’t even consider all the leaks where the mask is not sealed around the edges.

Even aerosolized, very tiny droplets, can travel six feet and the larger droplets at least 21’.

Aerosol transmission of COVID-19 can exceed 6 feet, shoes can spread...

Wuhan, China — SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can be transmitted through the air beyond 6 feet and tracked across floors, results of a recent study conducted by researchers in China show.

We’ve been the primary funder of The WHO for decades by several orders of magnitude over any other country.

What did we get during this pandemic from them for all that investment?

The money can be better spent elsewhere until the WHO replaces it’s leadership and gets it’s ■■■■ together as an organization that is supposed to operate without bias and without direction from the CCP.

Just keep those most vulnerable to serious/critical illness and death sequestered and protected and the rest of us can get on with our lives.

Those who are most vulnerable cannot adequately be protected with cheap cloth or paper masks.

If they weren’t authorized to speak who gave them the microphone?

Hilarious though coming from a guy who puts so much stock in unconfirmed reports and anonymous/unnamed sources.

WildRose · 2020-07-01T07:02:27.048Z

How many confirmed cases of transmission from one person to another by an asymptomatic carrier have there been so far?

Cite them.

WildRose · 2020-07-01T07:04:18.641Z

Anything is possible until it is proven not to be. That’s a pretty ridiculous bar to run with.

Where has it been confirmed? How many cases? Citations?

WildRose · 2020-07-01T07:05:01.261Z

Look how accurate the early models predicting total mortality were… .

What is the required loading dose?

What is the required viral load in a patent to reach that dose under what conditions?

Can we stop derailing the thread now? We have other forums for this discussion.

The virus is in the water droplets expelled while talking, coughing etc. The water droplets are 20 to 500 microns. You are highly unlikely to find, almost impossible to find, single virus particles floating around.

So, you appear to believe viruses are incapable of being sucked through a damp mask, or a dried mask being reworn on which it had previously landed. Do you have any scientific basis for that belief.

NYC slashes PD budget by 20 percent.

Then they want PD to enforce quarantine.

Crazyness.

WildRose · 2020-07-01T08:05:22.267Z

The micro droplets or 'nuclei" also transmit it and other than big heavy globs of phloem which are easily caught by a cloth mask the rest easily escapes around the leaky edges.

I see China has another pandemic waiting in the wings. A swine flu recipe this time.

Now that the West has been trained to cower at home for fear, they can keep the West shut down as long as they like…

WildRose · 2020-07-01T08:12:35.935Z

We have an effective vaccine for Swine Flu IF that ends up being the biggest threat.

Where we get caught with our pants down is when they guess wrong about which strain or strains will be problematic in the fall which happens all too often.

If we’re smart and it looks like a serious outbreak we’ll cut off international travel again way ahead of time.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? Masks help, and they help A LOT.

Unless of course you are Paul Muad’dib or the Lady Jessica…

Great movie. The original, of course. The remake was terrible.

Really? You like the David Lynch one? I love Dune but even I recognize that as being pretty bad. The Scyfy channel one was actually pretty good considering their budget. But it doesn’t matter. Pretty sure we’re all going to try and forget about those two once Villeneuve’s version comes out in December. Which should be awesome.

I concur. Lynch’s was a mess even if the imagery was good. The SciFi channel had the luxury of time to tell the story and was better (nod to limited budget making special effects not great but I invest more in the story).

Great. Now I’m going to have to watch the remake again. Thanks alot guys
