My governor just told us all that June 10th is the earliest we will be free to travel.

He's a Democrat AND a doctor; so, he has to one-up everyone else.

Here's a nicely written article that looks at the pros and cons of wearing facemasks, non-medical masks in particular, in public. It comes as the CDC considers the overall value of adding the practice to its guidelines:

Does anyone have insight into what's happening in Florida? Are they depending on local response?

China Concealed Extent of Virus Outbreak, U.S. Intelligence Says

This thing was a mystery for far too long because of those fuckers. They even continue to lie today. The world is left to clean up their mess. Chinese government is asshoe. |

But not earliest on: apparently Dr. Brix noted during yesterday's conference that the CDC depended on China's information during the early phase. That makes sense, as it took time for travelers to travel, and for their illnesses to be diagnosed and more information collected. The point at which I saw the CDC say they were using travel information was a few days into the US reaction.

Of course China lied. They're using 5000 funerary urns per day above normal use. Or were.
That being said, deaths in NYC passed the 1000 mark. https://apnews.com/57ed90189a682fff96b25e7e1805facf

Not to beat a dead horse; but, your video doctor may have found a protagonist in Trump:
With the video doctor's peers; however, not so much: Quote:
The disparity between the video doc and other prominent docs is also disconcerting. It'll be interesting to see what lessons are learned and by whom. |

emphasis mine if you're doing it wrong, it's gonna be wrong. As for dead horses, the doctor in the first video stressed that the purpose of wearing a mask was to help the wearer become alert to the unconscious habit of touching one's face and to stop doing it. so if you're doing it, touching your face either because you're wearing a mask or because you don't have a mask to help you become aware that you're touching your face, you're still not helping yourself by touching your face and the mask is irrelevant. I suppose if the mask makes you touch your face *more*, that's a problem, but maybe you're just not using the right mask. Everybody says stop touching your face. If a mask helps accomplish this, great. Pockets work too--until you take your hand from your pocket to touch your face. The current news that masks maybe/probably help reduce transmission of the disease FROM asymptomatic carriers is good news in addition to any face touching reductions masks may facilitate.

Don't count asymptomatic who have tested positive or not tested? Hmm, more suspicion on their numbers.

You can see hope on this map
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-us-cases.html In the middle of the page, second map down is "Where cases are rising fastest". The places it hit first and people went into harder lockdown mode are turning light pink. Seattle, SF, Brooklyn, and here in PA, Montgomery County and Chester County. Here, new rates are taking longer than a week to double. Hopefully this means the curve has changed in these locations. |
