So just checked into VIR. Conditions couldn’t be more different. Masks are a suggestion and no temp nazi at the gate. But it is 95 degrees. Hell **** the virus, I can’t live in this heat.

Does anyone remember what the peak was going to be if we did not flatten the curve? I can't find any old graphs. Everything I find has been updated or modified.

Whatever the curve was when Fauci was first hired to lie to us.

25M in Commiefornia were supposed to get it and die. Hasn't happened yet.

Florida’s population is 21,500,000. Cases here are “surging” according to the media. Harvard University says the state needs to lock down.

325 people are currently hospitalized for the virus. That’s for the entire state. Yeah, hospitals here are overwhelmed. People are dropping dead in the streets. It’s horrible.

Or not.

Prolly a good time for you to consider moving to Panama.

Evaluation of Single-Use Masks and Respirators for Protection of Health Care Workers Against Mycobacterial Aerosols

PMID: 8060007 DOI: 10.1016/0196-6553(94)90116-3
Abstract
Background: The recent increase in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis has spawned a major controversy concerning the degree of respiratory protection needed by health care workers, particularly during sputum-inducing procedures. The objective of this study was to measure the filtration efficiencies of a single-use submicron surgical mask, two disposable dust/mist respirators, a dust/mist/fume respirator, and a high-efficiency particulate air respirator against aerosolized mycobacteria. Facial fit was not addressed.

Methods: In a specially designed enclosed test apparatus, an aerosol was generated with a Collison nebulizer from a known concentration of Mycobacteria chelonae, used as a surrogate for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Aerosol concentrations were measured with Anderson samplers upstream and downstream of the test masks and respirators, which were heat sealed to a metal plate.

Results: Mean efficiencies ranged from approximately 97% for the surgical mask and a dust/mist respirator to more than 99.99% for the high-efficiency particulate air respirator. Measurements of filter efficiency with an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer for the M. chelonae aerosol and independent challenge tests with latex spheres correlated closely with measurements of M. Chelonae collection efficiency determined with Andersen samplers.

Conclusions: Analysis of variance and Tukey's method for multiple comparisons indicated that the dust/mist/fume respirator and the HEPA respirator collected M. chelonae with significantly greater efficiency than did either the surgical mask or the dust/mist respirator. Even the least efficient mask tested, however, had a filter efficiency of more than 97% against particles averaging less than 1 micron in aerodynamic diameter.
too bad it didn't filter down to the size of viruses.

Meanwhile the whole HCQ doesn't work and is dangerous and will damage the heart and kill people thing is, as absolutely predicted because it was so predictable, proven to be total BS and it's great to give to patients (along with zinc and a powerful antibiotic like a Z-pack) when symptoms are just starting to manifest. The gaslighting, out and out lies by our politicians and ESPECIALLY our media have been over-the-top insane. The curve is flatter than a blacktop and so now they harp on "new cases" which are now counted in such a convoluted way that's guaranteed to inflate the case count many times over.

Clown world doesn't even begin to start to explain how insane all this is. The virus is real, the response to it was not normal and it was massively coordinated to be a disaster in so many ways. Anyone who thinks that statement is wrong needs to explain why they'd stack COVID+ patients into nursing homes when other facilities were not just available, but sitting unused. Why the CCP allowed flights out of the Wuhan district internationally but banned domestic travel from the same area for two months+. And then we can go from there. Perhaps then we can discuss what punishment should be meted out for those who decided keeping medicine that works away from Americans was more important for politics than those people's lives. I have ideas.

Pointing out the fake numbers juxtaposed to the ones that matter is logical. What you responded with was just petty and embarrassing.

Yesterday - ZERO deaths in Houston
Today - Zero deaths in Houston
ALSO Today - Lina Hidalgo (County Manager) wants the city on complete lockdown

...but no, this isn't about power and crushing the economy...it's about safety.

MY ASS

The Houston Mayor is now wanting the GOP to cancel their Houston convention. Maybe he booked that time for a protest or something.

I know, and there will be relief soon. Think about this period of time as the time before. The before time.
