Wuhan Virus Update

Anyone remember this? CBS news 3/30/20

Birx said the projections by Dr. Anthony Fauci that U.S. deaths could range from 1.6 million to 2.2 million is a worst case scenario if the country did "nothing" to contain the outbreak, but said even "if we do things almost perfectly," she still predicts up to 200,000 U.S. deaths.

And the SAD side of this scenario......college students WANTING TO BE INFECTED,so they can subsidize
their living expenses,by selling their plasma ....$400 amonth......the dollar amount for a LIFE....I would like to see the extracted data of total deaths(because it is NOT just an old person's )....I am saddened by the fact
that students would have to resort to this solution AND that they are not forward thinking enough to SEE the
PERIL they have put themselves into.

The great Barrington Declaration

gbdeclaration.org

A statement by epidemiologists throughout the world. It is well worth the time. Below is the opening:

The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers
A Randomized Controlled Trial

doi.org/10.7326/M20-6817

"Our results suggest that the recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in mask wearers in a setting where social distancing and other public health measures were in effect, mask recommendations were not among those measures, and community use of masks was uncommon."

"“Our study gives an indication of how much you gain from wearing a mask,” said Dr. Henning Bundgaard, lead author of the study and a cardiologist at the University of Copenhagen. “Not a lot.”

Agree. I mainly wear a mask out of politeness. And I want access to stores and restaurants. It helps a little bit, but if you see people in healthcare they are wearing much better masks and often double masks. My SIL is a paramedic and she wears a N-95 plus a face shield. And my eye doctor recommends wearing eyewear or a shield if you are in close contact with others. It can transmit through the eyes.

VERY obvious, the quality/kind of mask being utilized.....a bandana is next to nothing, PPE(medical) would
be optimum...there is a HUGE chasm of choices...so, the trial in the SPRING of this year appear INCONCLUSIVE....it is now, winter when more people are indoors.... I wear a mask BECAUSE IT IS REQUIRED FOR ENTRANCE INTO store ..when I am with my regular service people...NO MASK....AND
I certainly do not wear a mask when I am outdoors....I rip it off the VERY minute I walk outside.

I did not want to start a new thread, because our Denver Post says it all. 5700 fans will be allowed into the whatever the name is stadium, for Sunday's game. The second lead story is that Denver Schools will be going to all remote learning.
Thankfully the liquor stores and pot shops will be open but do not go to church.
Oh, wear a mask goddammit!
