Every news site is reporting this tho. Why do yall be so mad at people reporting the news I dont get that shyt at all. You dont think that some shyt people wanna know?
Ain't nobody mad, they can report whatever...but why isn't it balanced?

  • Are they reporting the various ways you can improve your immune system to prevent you from getting Corona at all, or greatly minimizing the effects?
  • Are they reporting the massive numbers of people who got the virus already and have recovered?
  • Are they reporting on natural anti-viral remedies you can use if you get it?
  • Are they telling the truth about the reported numbers of deaths and how over 95% of them had multiple pre-existing conditions, the cause of death could have been any of them but they report it as COVID-19, and explain it to you in a way you can understand your actual risk?

:jbhmm:

I'm not going to go back and forth forever.

My point still remains, the TV news uses clickbait, bannerbait, and exaggeration to create FEAR to capture your attention and pocket advertising dollars. It's not the best source of news and information.

Then elites use FEAR via the media to control you and shove dikk down your throat.

Not sure what the purpose of posting this is, unless you're trying to dispel the notion that this is an airborne pathogen. Reading it, you'll see that they conclude that no significant amount of aerosol dispensation of the virus occurs, unless there is a concentration of either those who are infected (and these people would have to be coughing and sneezing in no inconspicuous manner) or equipment that's been coated with the virus and is being moved around. Nothing in this lends credence to the belief that this can be easily transmitted through the air. :francis:

Everything is inconspicuous when you are not in the same room. It hangs in the air "for hours" ...

Easy example for obvious risk of transmission: enclosed transport (planes, trains, automobiles, NYC metro). Bus example is in this thread several times already. Another: office toilets (for those still at work). Another: elevators. Another: hire cars. Another: Location where a queue was present. Another: shops where food is on open display - someone coughs one end of the shop. ends up attached to food on open display at the other end. Another: A/C and common ventilation systems transport from one location to another.

Etc

But not off just one person. If you read the study, its conclusion is that you would need multiple sick people who're symptomatic occupying a single space for enough concentration of the droplets to create a viral load that is lethal. When you mention the term "airborne," you're conjuring up an image of an infected person just breathing and infecting those around him and her, which isn't what occurs. Calling this airborne is a misnomer and the definition of fear mongering. :francis:

I think it is probably more accurate to call it a hybrid of being droplet + partially airborne. But it is a transmission vector.

The viral load lethality is based n many factors including the physical state of the person who inhales it.

Look at the bus example from above in this very same thread - quoted below.

2. The study from the Hunan bus clearly stated that an individual was infected by aerosolised droplets from the first group of individuals, after getting on the bus 30 mins after they exited the bus.

I really don’t get what there is to debate about at this point, if there’s a possibility that SARS cov 2 aerosolises I’m simply stating it’s in my Coli brehs best interest to avoid poorly ventilated areas, wear face masks/eye protection and for healthcare professionals to use airborne precautions. Why would we not do these things?

Masks auctioned off for $25,000+ during coronavirus pandemic


When he began searching for N-95 respirators, he stumbled upon a pallet of more than 7,700 masks. Online bidding began in mid-March with someone in Florida offering $11,500 or roughly 67 cents a mask. During the following days of bidding, buyers in California and New Jersey were duking it out, sometimes minute by minute, with bids topping tens of thousands of dollars. The winning bid was from New Jersey at $26,900 or about $3.50 a mask on March 17.


“I had to watch those pallets of masks sit there,” Lindquist said. “They should have been in the hands of somebody in a hospital in New York City this past weekend,” Lindquist said.

To make matters worse, it was possibly government agencies bidding against one another for what was originally government property. Also, the masks were expired by at least seven years. Still, it’s better than no mask at all for first responders

Can't they make longer lasting masks?
I mean there must be a way
A mask that lasts a week, it must be possible somehow

My girl is a nurse and has been making a mask that is washable with a slit that you can insert a filter. She's been cutting up pieces of an air filter to put into it. I tested it out, it works well.

We've explored if this is something we should scale. But I was having trouble thinking through what to charge, the ethics of charging for it, potential liability issues, etc. Plus the supplies she's using to make them are running low.

I say all that to say... somebody with a full scale manufacturing operation should be doing something like this at a larger scale.

Imagining what the economy is gonna look like for the rest of the year is some extremely scary shyt.

That's why I'm chilling on stocks right now. I don't think we've seen the bottom. Plus I'm not greedy. I do decent with my weekly trading system and I don't mind buying on the way up.

I'll keep my liquidity for now.

If you have anyone who is stuck overseas and wants to come home, I VERY, VERY STRONGLY SUGGEST they follow the @travelgov Twitter. There are flights being arranged all over the world.

As much as our healthcare system has been exposed, if they are especially in a place (where cases are growing) with no or a very weak hospital system IT WOULD BEHOOVE THEM TO COME BACK NOW. Its gonna cost a grip, but there is no telling when another flight would be available. It will likely be months.

This shyt is getting so fukking real :mjcry:
