My wife makes them. She keeps scraps (everything) and started about a week ago. Yesterday my oldest came over to pick up some stuff and drop off his latest 3D printer creations. He saw my mask and demanded it. Its just fabric print of the tops of beer cans! So I didn't have a mask. My wife went to work and made another. This one is too big, gotta work on it a little. And she made me another mask, this one a bit too big. The fabric print is Bacon! MMMM. Its designed to fit over an n95 mask. Not much use, I want to take it off and eat bacon. Oh, the inside is doughnuts. Some even with sprinkles. Her sewing hobby has many uses.

On the leopard print..are you sure it wasn't some girls panties?

Mask out of a Bra ...




"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Iceland coronavirus testing shows half who test positive show no symptoms

https://www.washingtonexaminer...ive-show-no-symptoms



Coronavirus testing in Iceland determined that half of the citizens who tested positive showed no symptoms.

Iceland has tested 10% of its population for the coronavirus, more than any other country, and the data reveals that roughly half of those who tested positive aren’t showing any symptoms, which is double the Centers for Disease Control’s most recent estimate, according to USA Today.

Iceland, which has a population that is about the same size as Tulsa, Oklahoma, has performed 96,000 tests per 1 million people.

"The size of a place matters. It tracks with the number of introductions of the virus. It is no coincidence the places now doing (the best work) share this feature," Harvard University epidemiologist William Hanage said.

Iceland's random tests revealed that between 0.3%-0.8% of the population is infected with the coronavirus. Since mid-March, the frequency of the virus among Iceland's general population that is not at the greatest risk has either stayed stable or decreased.

Iceland has refrained from imposing a full national lockdown like other European countries and the United States, and most businesses are still open.

However, the country did ban gatherings of more than 20 people. Iceland had more than 1,600 coronavirus infections; as of April 11, seven have ended in deaths.

A little more than 20,000 people have died from the coronavirus in the U.S., and around a half-million people have been infected.

So even if we didn't hang them out in the sun, where UV could get to them, they'd be idle for longer than the length of time the virus is believed to remain viable on such materials.


I numbered 4 of them. I used them in order, so at a minimum they have been at least four days before I reuse them, which exceeds the time the virus should be viable.

I have masks due to my job. N-95 for attics and cutting drywall in old houses, and the basic pleated ones for if I got into people's houses with compromised immune systems. 90+% of the people in the grocery store are wearing them. What I don't understand is how food banks are running out of food, yet everyone had masks? That doesn't seem to add up at all.

These DEMOCRATIC politicians get a superiority complex once they're elected. They think they're the king of their little fiefdom and all they have to say is they're ruling for the good of all and everyone will obey.

In Australia, the research continues.

A very good read on lab experiments with an anti-parasitic drug, Ivermectin.

Stopped SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, in cell cultures within 48 hours

Until further testing and clinical trials have to be completed, CANNOT be used on humans.

Ivermectin is an FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug that has also been shown to be effective in vitro against a broad range of viruses including HIV, Dengue, Influenza and Zika virus.

Ivermectin lab testing

A compound that is readily available around the world.

I have always been intrigued with biotech, and have friends in the virology area of expertise.

No, not hopes and dreams on this.

I'm afraid Trump's stepping on his dick on this one, and so are you. This is what can happen when you don't actually read the article <smh>

Well, I heard Fauci yesterday talking about how Italy caused more of a spread throughout the world due to so many Italians having traveled to China.

I think this is it:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0...us-live-updates.html

Coronavirus in New York came mainly from Europe, studies show.

New research indicates that the coronavirus began to circulate in the New York area by mid-February, weeks before the first confirmed case, and that it was brought to the region mainly by travelers from Europe, not Asia.

“The majority is clearly European,” said Harm van Bakel, a geneticist at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who co-wrote a study awaiting peer review.

A separate team at N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine came to strikingly similar conclusions, despite studying a different group of cases. Both teams analyzed genomes from coronaviruses taken from New Yorkers starting in mid-March.

The research revealed a previously hidden spread of the virus that might have been detected if aggressive testing programs had been put in place. On Jan. 31, President Trump barred foreign nationals from entering the country if they had been in China — the site of the virus’s first known outbreak — during the previous two weeks.

Viruses invade a cell and take over its molecular machinery, causing it to make new viruses. An international guild of viral historians ferrets out the history of outbreaks by poring over clues embedded in the genetic material of viruses taken from thousands of patients.

In January, a team of Chinese and Australian researchers published the first genome of the new virus. Since then, researchers around the world have sequenced over 3,000 more. Some are genetically identical to each other, while others carry distinctive mutations.
