Covid-19

The longer this goes on, the more my Bullshit Detector is going off.

This is the first illness in my lifetime where you aren't sick, but "sick".

It'll magically be all over the day after the election.

I found this interesting, talking about evidence for aerosolized transmission, things to do to potentially adjust and decrease transmission.

We should continue doing what has already been recommended: wash hands, keep six feet apart, and so on. But that is not enough. A new, consistent and logical set of recommendations must emerge to reduce aerosol transmission. I propose the following: Avoid Crowding, Indoors, low Ventilation, Close proximity, long Duration, Unmasked, Talking/singing/Yelling (“A CIViC DUTY”). These are the important factors in mathematical models of aerosol transmission, and can also be simply understood as factors that impact how much “smoke” we would inhale.

A CIViC DUTY first suggests that we should do as many activities as possible outdoors, as schools did to avoid the spread of tuberculosis a century ago, despite harsh winters. Given how much being outside reduces COVID-19 transmission risk, it is mind boggling that the U.S. National Guard is not busy setting up open canopy tents at every school around the country.

566 new cases at UA in addition to the 310 they had before classes began.

The more I've watched patterns of spread, the more it seems transmission is not just important, but the key mechanism for spread. But again, masks are completely ineffective against aerosols - this has been proven and is well documented by scientific studies. This is playing out in reality around the globe. Follow the science.

Mostly asymptomatic and a few dozen students with a cold. Yawn.

As long as we're talking about "revisionist science", how about what Fauchi said back in late January.

A CIVIC DUTY?!? Ugh, can a sick person just cough on me already so I can sit in my basement for two weeks and then forget about all this?

[Lloyd Braun]

I’ve read several studies that show masks to be effective with aerosols. But the real answer is “it depends”... on material, fit, etc.

Why did Fauci day in January? It’s 48 minutes long...

I don't know when that interview occurred, but based on the graphic under that doctor, 45,000 more people have died since it was filmed.
