What a shame. This guy is going to be permanently banned from Facebook and Twitter now.
Actually observe the masked: worn with gaps around nose or under the nose, carelessly handled and stored, infrequently replaced or washed and, the biggest thing, of plain cloth that filters no pathogens, but only stops droplets.
Then, observe touching: touching store products others and cashiers and baggers have touched, touching door handles, touching mail others and carriers have touched, touching car surfaces touched on last outing, touching the mask after touching other things...
I must believe that herd immunity is happening, masked or not. This article backs that.
I’m sure Lefty will come up with a new lie to get us to trade freedom for security. another scary strain, perhaps.
This is interesting.
I think the projection might be a tad bit optimistic, but I wholeheartedly agree that much more of our populace is immune to this than we believe or know because they have had asymptomatic exposure.
John Hopkins was partner in the Oct 2019 Event 201 “war game” about how to shut down the world in the event of a pandemic (something that was supposed to be worse than this one is).
I’ve been saying the same thing. US data since Christmas indicates we have hit early stages of herd immunity already. So either the number infected is far higher than estimates or the R0 is far lower than we thought, or perhaps both.
Thanks for posting the article. I have been saying the same thing for months. We live in the first known hotspot in the country, East King County WA. We have half a million recent arrivals from China living in the community... the majority visit home frequently. “Experts” at the University of Washington concluded that it was going around this community in late 2019 before the first cases were discovered. It is highly contageous and most people don’t realize they have anything serious. And even the surgical masks and N95s were not designed to be worn all day for a pathogen that is about the size of particles in smoke.
... the number of COVID-19 cases is down 77% in the last six weeks.
How much of this decrease is due to the fact that the WHO changed the definition of “positive COVID-19 case”, to make it harder to meet, literally one hour after Bai Din was sworn in?
apparently, herd immunity doesn’t exist for this particular virus...hmmmmmm
Herd mentality already here.
