But, but....wait....I thought we were told that masks don’t protect We the Plebs.

What the heck is going on?

But they can help a little to reduce the risk of infecting others...

This is the key thing we can learn from China.

Forcing everyone to wear a mask, even on pain of death, was instrumental in stopping the spread of the virus in China.

I don’t see how we can start putting people back to work without masks being available for everyone.

The masks aren’t for you to avoid getting the virus, they are for everyone you contact so you, as an asymptomatic spreader of the virus, infect as few people as possible.

The cool thing about everyone wearing a mask is that it creates two layers of protection for everyone—your mask and their mask.

There is just no way to start putting people back to work, on Easter or any other day, without first ensuring that everyone has a mask to wear when they go out.

There was a post (twitter maybe?) (chans maybe?) that said one of the big achievements of that drill was showing the party elites the weapon itself. And that somehow it got out there?

It’s been over 2 months though so I may be misremembering.

So many conspiracies with this, so little time.

I think a big reason we are not seeing crazy numbers is because the Super Spreaders are not in school

I dont know if this was mother nature’s design or a bioweapon design but making children the carrier was ingenious.

I think that poster is right...you just need to keep restocking..there will be another wave of this.

And have whatever protocol you are going to use in place.

but more will be known by the next wave

and hopefully they will have come up with a cure that does not destroy your liver or have any other really bad adverse effects.

“1,105 fatalities”

Now 1,293.

Exactly. The masks are to stop the spreading of the virus by asymptomatic carriers - something the ChiComs obviously learned the hard way.

Back to work by Easter? No, I think the date to head back to work is the date that everyone in this country has a mask.

Screw the $1200 to everyone! Give us all masks!

Has a “cases per capita” type chart.
Looks very different from the “total cases” charts!

Here is the latest update to the Confirmed Case Counts, adjusted/standardized for country population:

Country/Region Population (MM) Confirmed Cases 3/25/2020 Standardized Cases 3/25/2020 Rank by Confirmed Cases Mar 25 Rank by Standardized Cases Mar 25
Austria 9.0 5,588 205,337 14 6
Belgium 11.5 4,937 140,788 15 10
California 39.5 2,998 24,968 18 22
China 1433.8 82,803 19,004 1 23
Denmark 5.8 1,724 98,288 21 13
Florida 21.5 1,682 25,770 22 21
France 65.1 25,233 127,489 10 11
Germany 83.5 37,323 147,056 6 9
Hubei 58.5 67,801 381,383 3 4
Iran 82.9 27,017 107,224 9 12
Italy 60.6 74,386 404,258 2 3
Korea, South 51.2 9,137 58,695 13 17
Massachusetts 6.9 1,838 87,031 20 14
New Jersey 8.9 4,402 163,084 16 8
New York 19.5 30,841 521,688 8 1
Norway 5.4 3,084 188,671 17 7
Pennsylvania 12.8 1,260 32,387 23 20
Spain 46.7 49,515 348,626 5 5
Sweden 10.0 2,526 82,821 19 15
Switzerland 8.6 10,897 417,375 11 2
Texas 29.0 1,229 13,948 24 24
United Kingdom 67.5 9,529 46,433 12 18
US 329.1 65,778 65,778 4 16
US excl NY 309.6 34,937 37,132 7 19

Despite the sequential double-digit growth rate in US Confirmed Cases, the relative ranking of the US' standardized case count remains relatively low. The US was at 16th on this list when you adjust for the population, vs 4th in absolute terms. Further, if you remove New York (which is accounting makes up about 6% of the total population but 47% of the total US case count), the US is the 19th lowest out of these 24 select countries/states. Indeed, NY State is now the size-adjusted case count leader in this selection of countries/regions/states.

China gets a pickup because of it's huge population, but Hubei remains at the top, as does Italy. Switzerland remains the relative standardized disaster, with a size-adjusted 417k Confirmed Case load and #2 rank. Similarly, New York State on a size-adjusted basis looks worse but equally bad like Italy and Switzerland. In fact, Europe looks pretty bad as a group - except for the United Kingdom.

At the strong end of the scale (i.e., a low standardized count) are Pennsylvania, Florida, California, China (well yea...1.4bn people and faked numbers) and Texas.

On a local radio station (WTIC—Hartford, CT—talk radio), one of the callers had to visit their doctor for routine (but necessary) care.

They were told that everyone on the doctor’s staff would be wearing masks, and they required everyone who is visiting them to have a mask.

When the caller said they did not have a mask, the doc’s office said to improvise, but to cover your face while in the office.

Interesting.

Freakin’ China probably had at least a million cases.
