Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Getting a handle on this invaluable information requires the contact tracing so far done in only a minute amount compared to the need.

 

With the two people facing the same direction most of the time (one behind the other) and not facing one another. And the one thing touched . . . is thoroughly washed.

The Coronavirus Pandemic Approaches Its 'Lord Business' Moment | HuffPost

 

The British government announced today that it would be relaxing some lock-down rules from Monday.

Pleasant, yes.... But we've had the highest death rate in Europe - even after getting a sneak peak of what was happening in Spain and Italy. I don't have any confidence of us averting a second wave if it's on the cards.

 

There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your masks, the beef, the sanitizer, and the toilet paper, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.

Seriously? Whoever is cutting your hair is right over your head, usually talking. He or she is looking directly down at your face when they wash your hair. And, usually, walk around you to make sure the sides are even, leaning in to get a good look. I think this is a prime transmission scenario IF either is infected.

 

No one who cuts your hair is doing it from more than an arm's length away. Generally it's a bent arm, so figure their face is two to three feet from yours. And at least half of the time they are facing you, not behind you. They breathe all over you, unless they're holding their breath while they cut your hair. I can't recall anyone who cut my hair who did that, personally.

Just because things were done X way doesn't mean things have to be done X way.

Two months ago I was not standing behind plexiglass at the grocer, inserting my credit card in a machine covered in plastic and getting my receipt from someone wearing gloves. Businesses adapt. Heck, you can lay a towel over someone's face while they're leaning back getting their hair washed.

And since I assume most places will require both customer and employee to wear masks, that reduces transmission chances by 98-99 percent, according to a post here a couple days ago.

My red state is at least three weeks from such.

Logic dictates that is not true, given the percentage of each side of the face covered by hair.

 

The thing is, though, the waitresses and hairdressers have to agree with them about their need to work, even if they really don't want to do so.

This is the problem: People actually do need money, etc. People already have their "freedom." That's not what they need. They need their jobs, unfortunately.

 

That's as good as it will likely get, although I'd add gloves on the stylist given the choice. I have observed that many people wearing the standard blue over the ear surgical masks tend to pull them down under their nose to make it easier to breathe, though, which defeats the purpose.

 

From the same story, posted without comment:

Medically, the best possible response to the virus might be to keep Americans in their houses and apartments for months upon months. But that’s just not physically, economically, socially, or psychologically possible.
