Coronavirus: The Solution Is Becoming Clear

Part of the intense infectiousness of this virus is due to its long asymptomatic phase, where hosts feel fine but are shedding contagious particles. Increased testing is now showing that the majority of folks testing positive don’t realize they’re sick.

Research is showing that the recommended social distance of two meters (6.8 feet) is inadequate to protect against airborne particles. Four times that amount is more likely — reinforcing the effectiveness of both social isolating tactics (like sheltering at home) and wearing masks.

Peak Prosperity has been loudly banging the #Masks4ALL drum of late, and every day more studies emerge showing it’s one of the cheapest and most effective social responses to slowing the spread of the coronavirus.

In addition, while standard surgical/homemade (non-N95) masks do not filter out all virus particles, they do dramatically limit their spread, both in the air and on surfaces.

This is important because this reduces the viral load someone is exposed to. Data is showing that if you receive a lower viral load, if you get sick with the virus, your case is likely to be more mild and short-lived.

We are starting to win the war for data on covid-19 and this is leading to smarter practices that will flatten the curve, reduce deaths and get folks back to work.

Finally, some encouraging news.

Man what a pussy.

25 feet apart now? And a mask? How about a Nerf suit and a hockey helmet?

The fearmongering has got to stop, people are literally driving themselves insane over something that’s an annual cycle for human beings.

I feel like a catcher in the rye.

My wife is going nuts. Within 10 minutes of me leaving the house for work, she calls and starts screaming about virus this and that. I have to hang up on my own wife every morning to start my day. I cannot wait for this to be over.

I won’t be screaming for the government to solve my hunger problems, I’ll be begging them to solve my wife problem.

I have a photo of the realtor’s sign and number. Our protocol requires “real” addresses now. You’ll have to email me. Not even a PO box for a hardscrapple sort will do. Email the real thing or no contact.

P.S. You asked. I asked Mom. The answer ain’t good.

They’re good like that eh? They also don’t quite get surround sound or like the smell of malt and hops when I make beer which I find great.

Now they are acting like if everything goes right we’ll “only” lose 80-160,000. The “experts” today were saying if we did nothing and just let ‘er rip going about our business as usual it would be 1-2 million. These numbers seem impossibly outsized. On the other hand, if Fauci and Birks are right, The 23 million dead Chinese cell phones may not be BS. I simply don’t know. I hope and pray your skepticism is vindicated. I want it to be.

I imagine that this cover story for the market crash (caused by oil price) has now morphed into the platform to remove Trump.

The longer they keep people locked down, the worse the damage will be, and they are hoping this will create the inflection point to bring their side back into power.

Notice it is the democratic governors of the 2 largest economies, doing this.
They could have simple stopped incoming flights from known hot spots, long before this ever became an issue with hospital capacity. What were they thinking?

There has never been this kind of lock down of a healthy population to combat a bug. There have been similar bugs like Sars or Mers or even Aids. All these viruses are just as damaging, and when they were initially discovered, no one understood how contagious they were.

Qui bono from this nonsense?

Tell us your opinion then: how did China get their outbreak under control?

(And if you want to evade with “they didn’t”, you’re telling me/us with a straight face China would be able to hide an ongoing exponential [=exploding] spread in their country??)

The majority don’t even feel sick. 86% figure mentioned. If that bears out, this thing is way less lethal overall than feared. Prelim UK serological test results supposed to start coming in this week.

My friend wanted to watch something other than the doom and gloom news and he walked out of the room. Shes, says, Oh, don’t be a little bitch. LOL!
She’s maybe 5 foot and 115lbs, he’s 5’9″ 220 lbs and a captain of a boat, he was shocked and asked, Did you just call me a little bitch?

Funny as heck, I’m going to get two t-shirts, He’s a little bitch, for her, I’m a little bitch, for him.

So ZH battles the NYT for years calling them out for fake news over Russiagate, Mueller, Ukrainegate, etc., but ZH now posts NYT articles?

https://www.zerohedge.com/health/im-terrified-new-york-turns-war-zone-citys-911-system-faces-overwhelming-onslaught

Why? Is it because broken clocks are right twice a day? Because what did the NYT ever do to earn back the trust of readers? Why should they be trusted now?

This has to be one of the best lines ever. IOW, you’re sick, even if you’re not sick.

I might not be crazy after all.. undocumented .. hey I might have something in common with the migrants.. we are both illegals!

Today I got up at top the the hour, radio turned on, and listened to what is going on in the world.

It was..

COVID News
Coming Storms
COVID Sports
and Obits from COVID-19

Unfuckenreal!

Turns out that in Nova Scotia 92%, if it can be believed, support current lockdown and fines being levied against those skeptics who transgress the edicts of the Chief Medical Officer of this Province. Amazing!

How easily it is fritter rights away! This whole exercise is a project, first and foremost, in control.

The health care runs a distant second!

edit:

After listening to this I am supposed to believe that Chris Martenson is the penultimate authority on COVID and supersedes the WHO in expertise.. methinks someone has a Gawd complex!
