Thank you Sharp, with respect those are estimates of potential spread and do not account for the solid data of known mortality rates. The US is going through a spike as we speak and hospital rates will begin to climb putting stress on the entire system. This then delays surgeries and life saving treatments. Please everyone, just do your part . Thank you https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Dam it! I edited that, but not soon enough. (lol). That was my error in saying that, my apologize.

Dam viruses, they ruin everything lol.

I think we already covered this, excuse the pun. I know science is tough.

Great story! We would be in a much better place if we had my empathy. I couldn’t agree more.

Crunch, dont forget about the Chemtrails!

Well if he bit your dipshit co-worker, then lets call it an act of international community service... You are welcome.

In trueCanadian fashion all I have to say is.... sorry

Good luck with your recovery. ?

Seems very extreme and maybe a true knee jerk reaction. I believe in precautions that are reasonable, but there is always at time when some some stupid ass thinks I’m fine to drive and plows into some innocent family.

Even the swan agrees.. Put your dam Mask on if your not going to social distance.

Great post everyone. My wife and myself went hiking several hours north near Jasper National Park. The trail was Maligne Canyon which took a few hours.

Mike, sounds like you are very familiar with Your panties in a wad. speaking from experience my friend.

Wow, what is next. A dust up at the bike rack during recess?

I wouldn’t take medical advice from Hannity, let me rephrase that... Please don’t take medical advice from Hannity. ?

Can this be moved to the political forum please. Thank you.

I agree Mike but sadly there are families caught in the middle of this insanity one of them being mine.. I only wish that both countries had the same restrictions, they dont.

The new sensation hitting all the stores!

That sounds like an awfully difficult situation. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family my friend.

I just don't get it. The overwelming data and studies show how effective masks are. If that wasnt the case (like Phuckitman said) why would surgeons, nurses and other hospital staff wear them or wear any PPE. The reason the CDC changed course (which of course the video conveniently doesnt show) is that the original CDC guidance partly was based on what was thought to be low disease prevalence earlier in the pandemic. We all thought it couldnt spread to the EU and North America but that was not the case. What is worse and so concerning is both pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission are possible – even common. Studies have found that viral load peaks in the days before symptoms begin and that speaking is enough to expel virus-carrying droplets. Also remember, this video article is from a news pundit and is there to editorialize the news to push a narrative. That is very important for this typically is not found on your nightly 6pm news, they stick to facts.

I will see you guys in the ER soon. Hey say hello, I will be the one in the MASK!

Great pics Icequeen. We use the exact same PPE but we have to use a full face shield and a mask. We have different level masks depending on if the patient is covid positive, or has symptoms or symptom free. We have been lucky, we have had no shortages of PPE. Note: I love the name on the eyewear, we do the same lol ?

Ok, the video shows them using an aerosol can to prove there point. Its false in respect to Covid-19. Covid-19 or diseases similar are spread by droplet form or better yet large droplet form. I say large but its still very small in size but they call it large. Aerosols are typically much smaller but do have liquid in the air, hence as the video shows. The reality is humans cant produce an aerosol effect hence why Covid is not spread in this fashion. Masks prevent droplet spread and not aerosol spread. Of course the science is not so black and white but I hope this helps. When Covid hit, as a provider we had to learn very quickly how to field questions like this, but with science it can be proven wrong. I hope this helps.

My friend, I wish to give you my opinion from a healthcare providers point of view. I really dont care what we used to fight this virus, anything helps. One case turns into 2, then 4,8,16 and so on and so on. Surgical masks protect you from droplet spread and this is how this is spread, droplets. Let me give you an example, have you ever seen the PPE worn in a hospital? It literally looks see-threw and you wonder how the hell is that going to protect you. Its prevents droplets from penitrating and you can wear and not sweat a storm. This is how masks works, unfortunately many are not worn properly, they dont seal very well and people wear them way beyond their effectiveness. The reality is everything helps. What makes is virus so deadly is it has a asymptomatic stage which means you can spread it and dont even know. SARS was more deadly but patients became ill right away and you knew as a healthcare provider to quarantine them. So wearing some type of face covering will provide some protection. I hope this helps. I will provide the difference between an aerosol and a droplet in a moment.
