What a shock today was one of the warmest days in weeks and the cases dropped
Gee what a shockBut people who said the virus dies in warm weather were wrong huh? This is gonna end up backfiring when people realize this was hyped up
forgive me,
but you are fukking stupid, down here in FL cases are rising almost 1K per day. Stop taking talking points from trump.

Gee what a shock
you do realize the “new cases” are delayed.. by days, right? like 5-10 day’s it takes for results to come in.. so you make no case here for the validity of that, at all

But it will be back in the fall.
(Btw, this is just what my astrology of coronavirus thread hypothesized)
Hopefully by the fall, enough people will have the antibody that the hospitals won't get shocked at once.
The real issue is hospitals being overwhelmed. If it weren't for that, the government would probably let the virus run its course.

I hope the downward trend continues.

De Santis should have shut everything down earlier

Thanks
its been hard.
I agree, but that dude nor anyone else can be saying that dumb shyt regarding warmer weather killing covid19

Yeah I don't think the warm weather would kill it off, but hopefully slow the spread a little bit in combination with social distancing
thats the issue here as well, too many people still think its a hoax or cant effect them.

That's a problem here too. At my job everyone is still packing the break rooms, especially since it's still too cold to eat outside.
And my job is run by dumb fukks who are giving out dust masks since they're too cheap to buy surgical masks
I'm not sure if those dust masks are effective, but they're not comfortable to wear for extended periods of time

Make your own out of "quilters cotton", i got it from joann's. They having a sale on it rn and they got instructions too.
test various masks and fabrics, the team pumped air through both types of face coverings.
"Our instruments could read down to 0.3 microns, which is about the size of a big virus," Segal said.
Regular surgical masks filtered out 62 percent to 65 percent of particles. For comparison, N95 masks filter 95 percent of those particles.
But the fabrics led to a variety of results. One piece of cloth filtered just 1 percent of particles, rendering it virtually useless, while others were found to perform even better than the surgical masks.
"We had some that performed at 79 percent," Segal told NBC News.
The best masks were constructed of two layers of heavyweight "quilters cotton" with a thread count of at least 180, and had thicker and tighter weave.
Lesser quality fabrics also worked well, as long as they had an internal layer of flannel.

OPINIONCoronavirus mask guidance remains unclear. Here's how history can help.
"You do want to use a woven fabric, like batik," Segal said, "but you don't want to use a knit fabric, because the holes between the knit stitches are bigger."
In other words, if the fabric allows for a substantial amount of light to shine through, it's probably going to allow tiny viral particles through, as well.

I hear you, but i still gotta wear clothes. Unless and until my fellow conspiracy theorists set up a separate supply chain, we do what we gotta do.
