Who the HELL didn’t know a Virus was AIRBORNE?? Is she serious?
Gads, the woman is a nutcase. I mean, Betsy McCaughey has always been in the RINO category, at best, but now she’s gone full Karen Krazy.
We’re all gonna die...meanwhile the press keeps their inflated statistics going so that governors can shut down again, leaving people unemployed again, and the Dems can get another six weeks of inflated unemployment benefits leading to their favorite project, the universal basic income. This revved-up panic is all about the upcoming fight over the renewal of unemployment. Trump wants people to get back to work, the Dems don’t.
This article is dangerous, because it further hides the true problem that the politicians in this country are TOO STUPID to understand.
If these politicians had bothered to do some BASIC RESEARCH, they would know that airborne viruses are transmitted via aerosols. When they do some very basic research, they would find out that these aerosols are smaller than what regular cloth masks and surgical masks will stop, AND ARE NOT DESIGNED TO STOP.
I’ve have been trying to explain to people for the past 2 months that any mask that allows air to flow around it when you are breathing is next to useless in stopping transmission of SARS-CV-2. The virus is so small and the aerosol droplets they attach to are so small in mass (weight) that they go with the air currents and travel out any opening where your mask is not sealed. And most masks will allow the tinier aerosols to go THROUGH the mask.
Unless you have a fitted, sealed mask with at least an N95 rating, you won’t be protected. Even then, the N95 is not foolproof.
That is why the boxes with surgical masks have the warnings on the side that they do not prevent the wearer from COVID-19. They won’t stop you from getting it and they won’t stop you from transmitting it.
The health departments should be CONSTANTLY warning everyone to social distance because that is the only thing that will prevent you from catching the virus.
“Well, we can’t stay > 6 feet apart, but we have masks so we will be OK.” This is reason #1 why the efforts to slow the spread of this virus are failing.
My thoughts as well. Is this satire.
OTOH, this is why herd immunity is so important. Yer gonna get exposed, one way or another. And this thing isn’t going away.
Global Warming is real, science has spoken, it’s no longer a debate. LOL
Of course the real issue is: What is “global warming”?
How much,
Timeframe,
Or is it only certain areas...,
What is actually causing it or is it actually cyclical,
How to deal with it.
There is a huge difference between correlation and causality, and of course what we do with the information as far as policies is concerned.
Before long, because of “global warming” you had hotels in America charging $200 a night for one person in Washington DC and asking their customers to reuse their towels and not change their bed sheets, “to save the planet of course!”
Corona virus is no different. Yes, there is a virus. The rest is politics in America, where today even a virus is politicized in an election year. Of course everyone will twist this virus to their benefit, serving their philosophy, ideology, government agency/department, party, campaign, business, etc.
Is there a virus, yes. Beyond that, everything is so contorted by every interest wanting to use this to serve their purpose that nothing is trustworthy or real anymore. Not even the experts or professionals you would hope to give you sound advice.
#2. You always feel when you have a Sneeze coming on.
The trick to avoid it, is take your Index finger and rub it your nose bridge. The urge to sneeze immediately disappears
I learned that as a 13 year old from a Teacher Nun. I'll be 19 in less than a month.
Try it.
