True, a mask won't stop the virus. But it will inhibit the projection of exhaled droplets. The respirated droplets carry the virus. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.

If the WuFlu caused more GI symptoms, the .gov would have the ovine flock wearing corks in their butts with a flag out the top of the waistband for the official and voluntary Karens to verify compliance. ____________________ | |||

Not wanting to inject politics into this but i am wondering; Do we think the virus will start disappearing after November 3rd? | |||

Of course, the wearer is actually quite well protected with one. While exhaled air is still vented out, I would guess that the valved N95 does a pretty good job of directing a cough or sneeze down toward the floor instead of across the room. I suspect they are at least as good as a bandana at protecting others and FAR better at protecting the wearer. | |||

I doubt it. The Dems are trying to place the blame for all this on Donald, but they know nobody believes them, so they're not really putting alot of effort into it. Right now they're holding their breaths hoping Biden gets elected, then covid, racism, and all our other problems will disappear. If Donald gets elected, we can expect impeachment-part deaux, more endless & pointless investigations, congressional hearings on everything from Trumps DNA to what he had for breakfast, etc. They're not going to stop. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Really hope this election's "October surprise" is the Justice Department dropping indictments on the perpetrators of the Russia hoax and all of Epstein's friends. That would be just beautiful. | |||

What would be be interesting to see as another data plot on this graph is the number of hospitalizations, and as a subset, the number of people actually on ventilators. If those plots mirror the death rate plot, then good. If they mirror the infection rate, then not so good. My guess, is the former(the death rate). | |||

MRBTX- Thanks for the insightful video. What she said made more sense than anyone I've heard since this all started. I don't fault them for taking precautions at the start. We didn't know. I do fault them now since we know better. There is no End Game. This goes on for perpetuity. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

Looking at the graph the chellim1 posted, it strikes me how similar the plot looks to a stock market chart. The last two peaks look like 2/3 of a classic "head-and-shoulders" pattern. Depending on which way that line moves, you can predict the overall trend. If it keeps going up, then the spike is still progressing. If it goes down, and falls about 5% below the trendline, chances are the spike is done and will keep going down. | |||

For anyone wondering... This C19 shitshow is and always has been about politics. This event is another futile attempt to depose a sitting president. This entire event is political theater, anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a fraud. | |||

I also flew this week for the first time since February. Sarasota to ATL to SLC. Mask usage in the airports was high. Most people appeared to be using them correctly including covering their nose. I flew Delta. They are enforcing 100% usage. They are also not selling middle seats and in first class only one person is allowed for every two seats. It appears you can get a waiver for both of these if you are family. I saw husband next to his wife in first together but the rest of us were separated. They also handed you a bag with a water and a couple snacks in it when you boarded. You also got a Purell wipe to wipe down your area. On the ATL-SLC flight they did come through and hand out more water. No alcohol or soda service. The Delta Skyclub was open. They had prepackaged food instead of their normal setup. You could get alcohol and soda at the bar like normal. Other than the above basically nothing else is different. All the restaurants I saw were open. All the stores too. Currently I’m on a construction site. Everyone is supposed to wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart when possible. Which basically isn’t. Only two people are allowed in a vehicle and you are t supposed to share tools. All of these are being ignored. Everyone is wearing a mask but there are a lot of uncovered noses. It’s going to be near 100 today so people just aren’t willing to breathe into a mask too. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

I never thought anything to the contrary. From Day 1. What I find simply astounding is there are some here who unnecessarily bought into the Fake News "Media" fear mongering. Just gotta scratch my head with a puzzled look on that one... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Regardless of your view on the virus but assuming you acknowledge the public reaction to possible mitigating treatments you may want to read this. A local group that does some other studies from time to time. The theory is that not only does it reduce mortality but also severity of cases that otherwise would have just been uncomfortable. At the very least, if you take either of these drugs regularly and you're low you may want to get some before it disappears along with the TP.

So what is this "miracle" drug? The link itself is clickbait. Just sayin'... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.
