With a similar track record of clown like incompetence on the part of deniers. This all ties in perfectly with the major topics of the board.

There was recently a headline which outright lied about the "first infant death from COVID-19", blaming it directly on COVID instead of the other health issues that the infant had (once you dig deeper into the article). I think that particular case was in Illinois.

I think that particular case was in Illinois. What's started being pointed out is doctors telling people not to wear masks because they don't work. And not N95 masks bout other ones. Yet if you ever have surgery all medical personnel will be wearing a mask. And they wear them because they don't work. Yet the actual purpose of those masks is to reduce the possibility of the medical personnel in the operating room infecting the patient if they have a contagious virus or other infection. Myself, I think doctors wanted people not to wear masks because they knew it would help spread Covid 19 and make them heroes. Could you imagine if everyone wore some type of mask and then carriers of Covid 19 couldn't cough or sneeze on other people or get as many of their germs in the air. I think they should've said that first and then shutting down everything if that wasn't effective.

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	In this article from Nfl.com, they say that the CDC is recommending that people wear some type of mask or facial covering. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001108412/article/kiya-tomlin-sewing-masks-used-against-covid19

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	The most important things people needed to focus on, were washing their filthy hands often, and quit touching their face. Masks would have be barely of any use, if people weren't practicing reasonable hygiene to begin with. Masks can reduce some spread, but not all of it. Would people put on a fresh mask, or just keep using the same contaminated one? After someone has been coughing or sneezing, maybe need to remove it to unload some snot, or phlegm, do the put on a clean mask, wash their hands, sanitize? Some might, but most probably not. Keeping your distance, and washing your hands often, are easy and effective.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	The covid19 doesn't last that long. My guess is you can leave surfaces alone for a week and not have to clean the mask. They aren't meant to be reused though.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	keepit wrote: The covid19 doesn't last that long. My guess is you can leave surfaces alone for a week and not have to clean the mask. They aren't meant to be reused though. The have done a lot of studies on how long Covid-19 can survive on surfaces. On one of the infected cruise ships, they still detected RNA 17 days later. That wasn't Covid-19 specific testing though. A warm, moist surface general can serve host for a good while though. Labs are pretty much flooded with patient tests, so we aren't going to get much of an in depth study for a while. Mask are a little expensive for most of the population to just throw out, each time they us one. Cloth mask could be washed, but doubtful, many will wash them, unless soiled. For most people, masks are just a 'feel good' measure. Sort of surprised we aren't seeing people dressed in biohazard suits. I know some people got them for Halloween costumes in the past. Maybe saving them for when things get really bad. Mostly, I tend to believe the numbers are biased, and a little hyped. The medical professionals want people to take this extremely seriously. I don't think the threat, is quite as bad as we are being lead to believe. Feels more like this is a trial run, just to see how prepared, and how well we could deal with a much more deadly virus. I don't believe it's a hoax, there is a virus spreading, it's just not quite as deadly as we are being lead to believe. The governments just decided it was good operatunity to see how well they could deal with a bioweapon attack. Maybe at first, coming out of China, they might have thought it was a weaponized virus, escaped. Thought maybe it best to treat it as such, until they learned otherwise.

From what I've read, 4 days without a host. Viruses need sustenance like anything else. If there are no cells to mutate, it dies. If that's true, then placing a mask in a plastic baggie for 4 days should sterilize it. Even putting it in a microwave oven might do the trick. It also seems like doctors want things to be expensive. This goes back to them telling people, don't wear gloves and masks like we do to prevent the spread of infection. If people can't spread it, then someone else can't get it. Yet as Harvey says, a 3 month break for some at tax payer expense is acceptable. And a Republican is in the White House. Kind of why anymore I think America is a lost cause like ancient Rome. Rome's population fell rather quickly once it's fresh water supply couldn't sustain the population. Please read #4; https://romabyrachel.weebly.com/city-abandoned.html Edited on 08-04-2020 00:08

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	And Harvey, as you said, if I think I can do desalination, I have to do it on my own because I need to prove myself to you. It would not be about Americans or people working together. It would be about demanding servitude. And for anyone who can do basic math, it's an easy equation to both factor and calculate. Some links for people to consider; https://blogs.agu.org/waterunderground/2017/09/28/western-water-wells-going-dry/ NatGeo will want your email address, I gave them mine. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/03/burger-water-shortages-colorado-river-western-us/#close https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/gps-discovers-west-so-dry-its-rising-n186761 https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ https://www.climate.gov/news-features/featured-images/national-climate-assessment-great-plains%E2%80%99-ogallala-aquifer-drying-out Yet physics might allow for a simple answer. I mean how to move NaCl? That's the question. And some will say "I live in Kentucky like James does, we have plenty of water", so why should I care? This one isn't very technical. It's basic electronics, mass and density. Simple enough to factor. But it's not taught in school. We have reverse osmosis, R.O. Water for irrigation can have twice as much salt in it as drinking water. Common fact everyone knows. Plants and vegetation are simply more salt tolerant and all of you guys know this, why I won't bother mentioning it. And there is this. My mother grew up without running water or electricity. She was an American from Berea, Kentucky, USA. It's a difficult life I wouldn't wish on anyone. I lived with my grandmother for a while.

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	If it's right. The hospitalization numbers tell the tale. On Wednesday, New York's daily death count hit an all-time high: 799. But that reflects infections from weeks ago, before the state's lockdown started. The number of people testing positive stayed relatively flat. Meanwhile, there were fewer new hospitalizations — just 200 — than on any day since March 18. It wasn't a blip. The amount of new daily hospitalizations has been declining since last Thursday: from 1,427 on April 2 to 1,095 on April 3 to 656 on April 6 to 200 on April 8. https://www.yahoo.com/news/the-one-data-point-that-suggests-both-new-york-and-california-are-getting-coronavirus-under-control-170216116.html

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	We're up to 35,000+ deaths. At this rate we should be at 100,000 in another month. The 35,000 is basically 1 - 8 month long flu season. The question might be what is an acceptable number of deaths? Is 200,000 acceptable? On March 31, there were 3,500 deaths. Is the approximately 2,000 per day increasing? Next week we'll know. Will it be over or under 50,000? It's almost like betting on sports, eh? And with whatever the number is on April 24th, it'll be easy to make a graph that will show the curves growth. And who knows, maybe next week the number will be less than 50,000 or not trending upward. Kind of what I'll be basing my opinion on as to how serious this is. That's not the same as saying what an acceptable number of deaths is. Those are 2 different things.
