New York new coronavirus cases 'dropping for first time'

[thekingsmen]

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.

I mean on your body is one thing...your face...breathing it in...

Fair point, but you gotta weigh the risks. My city on fire from the Corona, meanwhile, this other thing might take years to hit.

What a shock today was one of the warmest days in weeks and the cases dropped

Gee what a shock But 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

It all lags due to how the virus works, so this is a result of the lockdowns in March. If we didn't lockdown, things would be so much worse than it already is. I fukking hope that lock downs and warm weather manage to slow it drastically to the point where we could track and have somewhat of a return to normalcy, or that it mutates to something that's easier to deal with.

I'm all for positive news, but a day-to-day drop isn't very statistically significant.

Im in Kentucky and according to the governor since its Sunday a lot of the labs were not open and didn't post their numbers. So we can't make too much of our low numbers

I also read somewhere that there is always a weekend dip in the numbers.

I'll take my risk

Good for you, but to me, a huge part of being a ct'er is being prepared for whatever tptb throw at us. Ie, when Bush was in, my fam had the iodine pills in case nuclear shyt popped off (in the unlikely event we survived the initial blast). They throw a virus, I'm ready to defend against it. Plus, being a nyer, i can't play these games. When shyt pop off, not if, it ALWAYS starts here.

So, everybody can go outside now, right?

So, everybody can go outside now right?

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.

My mom is unemployed right now and is into knitting, I'll have her make some for us

thecoli y’all

It amazes me how the people w/ the dumbest takes on the coronavirus continue to speak the most arrogantly about it.

Excellent, she's perfect. I got some extra material for my (former seamstress, FIT grad) mom so she can make some too. I got essential personnel as neighbors on either side, so they get the first few i make. USA in this bytch.
