    States that force you to wear mask

    This article seems fairly reasonable, and would support for the purpose of nfection control something like Oregon has done with mask requirements in public indoor spaces while encouraging them elsewhere only if within 6ft of others. It also suggests that other reactionary measures like states...

    States that force you to wear mask

    In response to other biased comments above. If overall mortality is down or flat, flu deaths are down, some people die with covid but not from covid, and 50% of deaths so far are in old folks homes where the majority of residents die within 1 yr from something, how can a person rationally...

    States that force you to wear mask

    Do you realize that your link prooved none of your points. These were mostly bundled interventions and/or guesses based upon observational "test tube" studies of varying quality. Things are usually quite a bit more complex in the real world of biological systems, hence the reported need for...

    States that force you to wear mask

    For clarification, I was referring to the state mask mandates, which include any mask, and not generally a well fitted N95.

    States that force you to wear mask

    One thing to be careful of also with some of these studies (which is the same mistake people use when assessing some public health interventions for Covid-19) is that often preventative measures are not performed in isolation. When you see a review that says, well some studies showed no...

    States that force you to wear mask

    You do realize that the mask doesn't generally protect you right? In fact, it may actually increase your risk of getting sick in certain situations depending upon your behaviors and the behaviors of many. We wear them in surgery only to avoid spitting into open wounds while communicating...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I know this is not Covid related, but some of you guys say things that seem short sighted...still I can't tell if you really believe it, or are just trying to be politically persuasive. You have to realize that there are a lot (I estimate 1/3) of flag officers in the military that are...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I personally thought that the Spain data back from April/March infections was interesting for other reasons, but not so much as a conclusion or opinion regarding herd immunity. It was from a relatively narrow time period, early on in this pandemic, and in a country instituting social antiviral...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Mr. Durango, please explain to us how you come to this conclusion. Here are a few points that you may want to consider before you explain this. First, do you realize that this study was from data collected over 2 months ago? Second, do you realize that antibodies take a couple of weeks to...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Being in the medical field and having went through many epidemics or pandemics, I think how the Trump admin has responded to Covid has been the best fed govt support that i have ever seen to the states and county medical dept's in allowing them to react to this, especially given the limitations...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    It will be 2 more weeks potentially before we know if the increased reported cases in some areas over the past week lead to a significant jump in ICU admissions.

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I thought that I was absolutely clear...that the bill of rights should prevent the govt from ordering all of these things upon you and me in the name of safety, particularly when performed in an authoritarian, nonleglislative way by illegally extending emergency orders, threats by state...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Some people in America aren't completely against masks, but they are completely for the bill of rights and following the law. 1) Mandatory emergency orders by hypocritical executives and unelected "health" bureaucrats that go on in perpetuity are not law. No law abiding American should have...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I think the question really should be at this point, with good amounts of community spread going on over the last 2 months in certain areas, and in a disease with so many asymptomatic individuals such that contract tracing is a myth in this scenario, should the world govt of "Durango" be...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Areas (esp rural) that were not hit in March or early April like some urban areas were, will be hit now preferentially after having been seeded from nearby urban areas or from areas that had big and ongoing bumps in numbers in late May and early June likely from migrant workers. Washington...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I think the following interview is a really good, rational summary for medical and lay people alike, as long as everyone can get past that the interviewer happens to be an independent conservative. If people really care to know this info, it is more of an inside medicine look, which is...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    The other question maybe we should ask now, is even if you don't agree with Americans in for instance the arid southwest choosing to travel more freely and not wear masks as much as other areas, if indeed that has a causal relationship in this case, are we not in a preferred position compared to...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Our testing went up significantly this past week due to mild viral illness symptoms and/or people just having heightened concerns. And although the local numbers don't yet show it, I am anticipating an increase in cases (whether real or from increased testing) here over the next week as the...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Just this week I had my first 3 cases in an extended family and maybe more to come...all infected by a young family member who has been in Seattle the past 3 weeks during the riots. So far all fairly young and with 1 day of low grade fever only...they wouldn't know they had it, except for...

    And if you believe Russia's mortality rate, then I have some beautiful property that I will sell you in Minneapolis or Atlanta.
