Stanford Study- China Virus 1000X Smaller Than Mask Holes

Tell that to the states still on lockdown.

No. He's gone.

But he is the one who decreed 2 weeks would be sufficient. Right? So, why not give credit where credit is due?

Uh oh!! 😳. So, how many masks do I need to wear?

ETA: as an entrepreneur, I've just realized a business opportunity. A cellophane mask company. "Our masks stop COVID dead!"

Two Weeks to Flatten The Curve.

Remember that?

"We", as a country, never did the things they asked us to do to flatten that curve.

Oh BS damn hospitals haven't been swamped everywhere LOL. Again Georgia fewer restrictions, partially people wearing masks opened up early less than
20% vaccinated now and our hospitals haven't been stressed in months.

But here we are a year later and you are the one bitching about the orange man and 2 weeks. Here's YOUR SIGN! lulz

I'll give you a clue, Bill Engvall

Just replying to someone who brought up "2 weeks." Just giving credit where credit is due.

But they were? Right?
After mitigation measures were relaxed too soon. Right?

For as long as I can remember, our local ER and doctor's offices had a box of masks and a sign at the door along the lines of, "if you're exhibiting flu symptoms, please wear one".

Why do you think that is?

Breathe on a window. Observe fog. Cover your mouth with something, observe results again.

A toddler can understand this.

Hospitals were never stressed anymore than any other year during flu season.

CHICAGO spent 100 million to build a field hospital that ultimately had like 20 patients. Remeber thst unused navy hospital ship sent to NYC that sat empty?

No, they weren't we had nothing like the first 6 weeks those were COVID patients, but later we didn't get above 15% COVID patients and it didn't stress the hospitals EVER. We had 2000 beds in the GWCC and we used 30 of them the whole time, one reason they learned how to triage.

He can probably work out that vapour went somewhere else as well and didn’t magically disappear.

a reply to: Grenade

Is this a better example?

Not really. The virus does not travel on vapor. It does not travel on molecules.
It travels on aerosols and droplets.

Here is a much better example.

The results, Fisher says, were “an eye opener for how many of those particles are floating around” even when people are just talking. When speaking without masks, Westman and Fischer found that people exhale hundreds of drops per second, many of which are too small to be detected by the naked eye but still flashed green inside the box.

Among the many masks they tested, the N95 with no valve performed best, with only 0.1 percent of the particles making it through the light sheet; the version with the valve may do a good job of protecting the wearer, but it still allows particles to escape when a person breathes out. Hand-sewn cotton masks composed of at least two layers also performed well, as did single-use surgical masks, vastly decreasing the number of particles spreading into the air while talking.

Moisture clings to fiber. Or anything, really. Why have we been covering our mouth, when we cough or sneeze, if virus transmission via moisture from our respiratory system is a liberal hoax?

So, no problem. Just shuffle the patients around.
I wonder why they didn't think of that.

Jansen says people often ask how they can help.

His answer is simple: do everything you can to not get this virus.

"Because, at least, in Atlanta we are now in worse shape than we've ever been," he says. "We have more patients in hospitals than we have had since the beginning of this pandemic in March. So now, more importantly than ever, we have to do the things that we know help."

ICU beds are always near capacity. This is basic business management. It is like airline seats or hotel rooms. You always want ro be at like 80% or else you are losing money on under utilized assets.

You can google hospitals beimg near capacity with flu cases in like 2017 or other years well bwfore COVID

A question for the mask believers...

Can you smell the smoke from a cigarette or joint someone's smoking, the smell of a fire, while you're wearing your mask?

Yes?

Guess what's smaller than a smoke particle...#ing covid....
