IF your mask is N95, and IF you have a bunch of them (they're supposed to be single use, generally), and IF you know how to wear it properly (it requires training), and IF you also cover your eyes with something, like a face shield, then it will "probably" keep you safe. And yet, there are still lots of people that are too untrained, too poor, and/or too unable too access a sufficient supply of N95 masks (especially if everybody suddenly tries to get them), and lots of them still have to go out (especially the poor). They don't deserve to get sick/die because some won't wear a simple cloth face mask. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that your position is naive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 On 6/20/2020 at 11:28 PM, Califan007 said: Worldometer.com has been tracking daily new COVID cases since march 8th. That's 104 days worth of data. Since March 8th, there have only been 9 days where over 33,000 new cases were reported. Just 9 days out of 104. Two of those days were Friday and yesterday. There has never been three straight days of 33,000+ new COVID cases. We've been averaging around 20K new cases on Sunday for the last month and a half. So much for that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) You can be infected wearing an N95, but the viral load would be so incredibly low that your immune system would have a huge leg up on the situation. Part of the reason that the CFR is tanking in many countries is that viral loads have been lessened by wearing masks. Instances of healthcare workers succumbing to enormous viral loads have become rarer in the US. In fact, paradoxically, there are studies illustrating fewer positive cases among healthcare workers than in the general population. Wear a mask. It helps you and everyone around you more than many initially assumed. Edited June 26, 2020 by Bacon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinsCowgirl84 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I don’t get the people who don’t wear masks... it’s not that hard, and not doing it is screaming “HEY EVERYONE IM AN ***HOLE”... even if the world is over reacting to a fake virus, don’t be an ***hole.... also, I wish we could do something about the nose cleavage. It really is the worst kind. Edited June 26, 2020 by CousinsCowgirl84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 White House Official: Americans Will “Just Have to Live With” Massive Coronavirus Surge The three most populous states in the U.S. recorded their highest daily totals of new coronavirus cases on Wednesday. California announced more than 7,000, while Florida and Texas announced about 5,500 each. The “positivity rate” of tests in those states is increasing, which means the rise in cases discovered is not explained by increased test availability; in Florida and Texas, positivity rates have roughly doubled in the past week and tripled in the past month. Both of those states’ governors have been outspoken about keeping as many businesses and public spaces open as possible despite the recommendations of public health experts; neither state requires residents to wear masks in public. It’s only been in the past week that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has begun to emphasize the urgency of wearing masks in order to stop the spread of the virus throughout the bars, luxury stores, and nail salons that have been open to Texans for the past month. (Abbott had previously said that he personally recommended wearing masks, but his talking points on the subject included the caveat that to require anyone to put one on would be an infringement of “liberty.”) White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow addressed the situation on Thursday morning on CNBC: Quote There is no second wave coming. It’s just hot spots. They send in CDC teams, we’ve got the testing procedures, we’ve got the diagnostics, we’ve got the PPE. And so I really think it’s a pretty good situation. Kudlow also spoke to reporters in person at the White House, saying that “We’re going to have hot spots, no question,” and that “we just have to live with that.” Here’s what the United States’ daily case count line graph currently looks like: On Thursday, Kudlow also said the administration will not respond to rising numbers by encouraging another nationwide lockdown, which speaks to his motive for downplaying the pandemic—namely, that he believes it’s his job to advance the interests of “the economy” as defined by the short-term top-line indicators, which are damaged when businesses close. But at almost the same time, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was busy announcing a “pause” in the state’s reopening, which will not be good for sales or employment. This impossibility, of making a full economic recovery without a full public health recovery, is a bind that almost every official in the U.S. except hard-line Trump loyalists saw coming. But if Kudlow’s press tour was any indication, the White House’s official position is that it would still prefer not to acknowledge reality.

China Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 100 percent of regular ICU beds in Texas Medical Center occupied, but hospitals have space for surge All regular ICU beds in the Texas Medical Center are now being used, according to numbers just released on the TMC website, but officials say they can add more. Hospitals in Houston's Medical Center will now move some ICU patients to beds not normally used for critical care. Twenty-eight percent of the ICU patients are being treated for COVID-19. Despite reaching surge capacity, four hospital CEOs said Thursday there's no cause for "unwarranted alarm." Those same CEOs signed a letter to Houstonians Wednesday warning, "If this trend continues, our hospital system capacity will become overwhelmed." Dr. Marc Boom explained in a virtual news conference Thursday that the purpose of the letter was to "urge people to do the right things in the community and do so by talking about capacity, but really ended up unintentionally sounding an alarm bell too loudly about capacity."
