Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Rex Chapman has committed the sin of exposing a Trumpist's contempt for human life. Don't you understand that the sin of exposure is comparable to the offense of disparaging mask usage in the time of a global pandemic?

 

Rex Chapman is a joy.

 

Ask the eternal question: "Block or charge?"

 

They're communicating with the other whackadoos. They're all in it together. They get and give validation to each other's tin-foil hatness. That's why they do the videos.

Cut them off from the Internet and they'd be like the harmless whack jobs that used to write letters to the editor in the early 1990s about fluoride and set-top cable TV boxes being used by the UN to control your mind. Connect them all via the WWW and they start showing up at pizza places with an AR to rescue kids from a non-existent basement.

 

He's also pretty good at tweeting dog videos:

 

He needs to stick to that.

 

I want to come back to this, because I feel like I’m not actually coming back to this because we never really talked about it in the first place, and it seems kind of important. Emphasis below is mine.

A group of scientists will publish an open letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) in the coming days with an alarming claim: The novel coronavirus is airborne, meaning that it can linger in the air long enough and in enough quantity to infect others.

The letter, which was reported by the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times, will also allegedly accuse the WHO of failing to issue appropriate warnings about the risk of contracting coronavirus via airborne transmission. The scientists are calling on the United Nations health agency to revise its recommendations and plan to publish their letter in Clinical Infectious Diseases.

The letter has been signed by 239 researchers from 32 countries and include experts in virology, aerosol physics, flow dynamics, exposure and epidemiology, medicine, and building engineering, according to a press release from the Queensland University of Technology.

Currently, the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) only warn about transmission from inhaling small droplets produced when infected people cough, sneeze or speak, or from touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. In interim guidance on infection prevention and control published on June 29, the WHO contends that airborne transmission can occur when health care workers perform medical procedures that produce aerosols, which are extremely small respiratory droplets.

The CDC, meanwhile, has stated that the coronavirus touching infected surfaces is not the primary way the virus spreads.

Nonetheless, per the Los Angles Times, the experts argue that this guidance that warns about the two types of transmission ignores the evidence that airborne transmission also plays a significant role in the virus’s spread.

In the letter, the scientists purportedly highlight multiple studies that they say demonstrate that aerosols can hang in the air for long periods of time and float dozens of feet. This makes poorly ventilated rooms, buses, and other confined spaces dangerous, even if people keep the recommended six feet of distance from one another.

“We are 100 percent sure about this,” Lidia Morawska, one of the letter’s authors, told the Los Angeles Times.

Morawska is a professor of atmospheric sciences, environmental engineering, and environmental science and management at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.

“Numerous health authorities currently focus on hand washing, maintaining social distancing, and droplet precautions,” Morawska said in the press release. “Hand washing and social distancing are appropriate, but it is view, insufficient to provide protection from virus-carrying respiratory microdroplets released into the air by infected people.”

Experts that spoke to the Los Angeles Times said that airborne transmission appears to be the only way to explain several “super spreading” events, including the infection of people at a restaurant in China who sat at separate tables and choir members in Washington state who took precautions, such as using hand sanitizer and not hugging or shaking hands, during rehearsal. Of the 61 people at the choir rehearsal, 53 became sick and two died.​

The infection spikes we’ve been seeing can’t be explained by a dismissive “Oh, well that’s just idiots having too much fun.” Something else is going on here.

 

You sit too long in an enclosed space with some one who has it, that means you get it. Mask slows it down. You can’t wash or sanitize the air.

Churches, bars, schools, buses, subways, movie theaters, gyms...

 

My small world: We have mutual acquaintances, college friends who know her from charity functions and what not.
And while she's clearly mentally ill, she's also a raging racist and homophobe. Her mental illness shouldn't allow people to excuse her racist/homophobic behavior. Her PR firm has or had some pretty big clients, including hotels and luxury resorts.

you can't see it because of the mask, but this is my shocked face
