Exactly correct on all points, from scientific viewpoint and "proper" investigation and development. However, world wide, public panic is inflamed, rather than soothed, by conflicting informations and opinions from "people who should know better" than to make statements other than what you just

Six months is an eyeblink in normal infectious disease research. At normal research pace, I doubt that's enough time to run a scientifically valid experiment, write up the results, submit it for publication and have it reviewed. Allan G Mann via Mercedes writes: > What impresses me most

I've seen hospital potos - they wear head to toe protective gear when operating in a COV 19 ward. If they are tested and learn they're positive, I would assume they would not risk spreading the virus for any surgical procedure.. On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 3:24 PM Max Dillon via Mercedes <

Exactly, Mitch. It’s not just masks or hand washing or isolating - it’s a combination of things that best protects everyone as far as we know at this point. Masks are just one part of the equation. And your later point about the women who meet, remove and handle their masks just reinforces

Don, I just have a simple question.  Do surgeons who are sick still continue to perform operations, do they just put in the mask and say to themselves "This mask will protect the patient from virii I spew from my nose and mouth"?  Is that what they do? I'll bet you a dollar they don't, because

I saw this anecdote posted elsewhere, it might give a clue as to why you can't fix this by asking/requiring the populace to cover their faces: "Yesterday I witnessed two ladies walking down the street separately, each wearing a mask, despite being alone. When they reached each other, they both

What impresses me most about covid 19, after now 6 months of endless news broadcasts, information releases, and talk by "experts" is: How little we actually know about the disease, its origin, its short term AND long term effects, and how to actually avoid or stop spreading infections. Everyone

That's the wish/theory. And it seems reasonable that reducing the outgoing air velocity would reduce transmission. It would be nice if we had some clinical evidence that it actually worked that way across any given population. There might be countervailing acts at work, like people spreading

One more time. Those masks are to protect ME from whatever you are spewing, NOT to protect YOU from incoming particles. On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 11:20 AM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > > > Sent from my iPhone___ >
