Yes, of course.
I was just using the phrasing that’s out there - Don’t Touch Your Face!
Darn.
He must’ve touched his face.

Tuscany - Prato
‘Prato has evolved and grown in terms of population, but the majority… how can I say it… the majority it’s all Chinese. That ‘something’ that there was before isn’t there anymore, Prato’s traditions, the feasts… on the 15th of August we used to go to Feast of Santa Maria, we’d eat watermelons, you’d go there and see all the people from Prato… now what you see, it’s mostly managed by [the Chinese]….’

from wiki:
Prato, Tuscany has the largest concentration of Chinese people in Italy and all of Europe. It has the second largest population of Chinese people overall in Italy after Milan.[2]...Most overseas Chinese come from the city of Wenzhou in the province of Zhejiang,
... Official statistics indicate there are at least 320,794 Chinese citizens in Italy, although these figures do not account for illegal immigration

Chinese police patrols turned into a one-way street:
For Italy, apparently, the €229bn that Chinese tourists spend abroad each year was a stronger pull.

The coronavirus getaway: Rich American families are darting off to isolated rental homes and booking out ENTIRE HOTELS to wait out the quarantine - as locals beg them to stay away
My wife is a police/fire/EMS dispatcher. Her officers are in the building often to drop reports, pickup warrants and get notary work done on documents. Most of the officers are young with children. All of the dispatchers are female and either have grown children or one newborn. The interaction of the officers with their children and the public is the most likely way the dispatch staff will get exposed. Overweight and diabetes are common themes with her co-workers.
Diabetes big on the list of problems
Although, Tom Hanks is in the danger age range and has diabetes...and came out fine
It’s like a miracle!
Do these fools think that they won’t have to have any human interaction (for food, supplies...and, my gosh...housekeeping!!) that they wouldn’t be having back at the mans?
Had CCPChina not deployed pandas to raid the world for PPE and pandemic supplies over the 60 days prior to Feb 26, had they shared data they knew from Jan 2, had they not destroyed evidence, had they re-donated unused emergency supplies sent to them instead of selling them disguised as aid to the Silk Belt, even at 31 days the western world could have spit in the eye of this virus. And anybody who dares to say that America should have acted ‘faster’, can eat our shorts.
China lied. People died.
Oh wow, man! You put all of my wild thoughts about this in a very neat nutshell!
Thank you!
I don’t know. I think that announcement would have created widespread panic.
At the beginning of this pandemic, the PTB knew we did not have enough masks. They chose the only other alternative - shelter at home.
And then they got busy finding and making more masks. Once they got close to the mask number target, then they started leaking that soon everyone would be required to wear a mask everyday.
Given the situation they were saddled with at the beginning, I think they probably did the right thing.
Soon we will have enough masks, and then we can come out hiding and restart this economy.
Yes, it is very sad how NY handled this. At the end of this, I hope whoever was responsible for that will be held in infamy for the rest of their lives!
2 Ford employees in Dearborn die from COVID-19

I should not post it. The email came from the Chief Medical Officer at a large Austin hospital.
The hospital said they have a good stock pile of PPE but need to conserve it for the expected surge. Hospital has plans to use various wings of the hospital in stages. Hospital only wants to test people who have obvious “significant” symptoms. Milder cases are to be sent home to self isolate. Reasoning is a positive test result will not change the medical decision making. Milder symptoms won’t be admitted to the hospital if test results are positive or negative. Email listed how many beds hospital has and current number of patients. Hospital is working on plans to draft physicians from other specialties in the hospital to assist ER docs.
Austin city government has a website with good info: http://www.austintexas.gov/COVID19
Every American will need to make their own—for quite a while....
So sad.
Wonder what their underlying health issues were.
(Maybe even touching their face, too often.)
:-(
I have N95s. I also have a LOT of fabric.
The pattern i have isn’t the best. I need to look for a better pattern.
That answers a lot.
Their testing protocol sounds pretty typical. Very similar to across the state...and country.
Thanks for the info and link.
Praying things don’t get too crazy there, or anywhere else, in TX.
Ouch!
They should treat those with milder systems, and positive tests, and get them through the system before the surge.
Ah well, gotta trust they know what they’re doing.
In the article it says that Health and Human Services will have enough masks for health care workers, and health care workers only, in eighteen months.
You can’t make up this stuff.
Thanks for those revealing links.
I guess that explains why Italy is having such a horrible time right now.
The question is, will this be remembered? Will Italy continue to accept all of this ChiCom penetration after the pandemic is over?
