Mask Efficacy |OT| Wuhan!! Got You All In Check

On a cool, clear Saturday in February, neighbours and friends played ball hockey in a small village in the Eastern Townships.

“The weather was nice. We were all excited to play together and spend some time together,” Domenico Farinaccio, one of the group, recalled. “It was just a happy day.”

Two and a half weeks later, he was breathing through a ventilator. The novel coronavirus had invaded his lungs and doctors were unsure he would live.

Of the 21 people who gathered in the village of Racine that day, 15 contracted the virus.


We closed things down in March here. But this thing was already around in Feb. We actually only had our "first" case on Feb 29th.

Really puts it into perspective that this invisible enemy was with us earlier than we thought and regardless of the money morning QB'ing and hindsight not much could of been done. Who knows we might find out another story of someone who got it earlier in Feb, or maybe back in Jan or December.

Just to put this into full context. They confirmed 15 cases of COVID-19 from back in February? Of 21 total people playing ball hockey, 15 (71.4%) contracted COVID-19, and 1 (~0.5%) went into ICU?

Yes thats what the article is saying. I don't think they confirmed 100% that everyone was infected at this game or who was the originally carrier. But basically 15 of the 21 people playing that game got sick. One person even travelled after that to Rio (didn't know they were infected of course).

So we could read it that someone was infected at that game and 14 other people got infected.

We also had an old age home that had 105 out of 154 people infected in it. Which lines up with the 70% figure.

This may seem stupid, and I’m probably just being paranoid OCD about the virus, but my FFVII Remake got delivered earlier and I went outside to pick it up after the UPS guy left it at my door and then I thought shit, should I have let it sit out there for like an hour so I don’t breathe the same air the UPS driver just breathed 5 minutes ago.

I can’t believe my mind is even going to these places.

That's paranoia. If keeping 6 ft of distance is sufficient to avoid contracting, then you're fine to pick up the package. However, discard the package immediately and wash your hands before doing anything else. You should be fine.

Seeing these news outlets brush their teeth with Xi's tiny yellow dong is somehow more sickening than the fucking vermin carcasses on sale at wet markets.

Try to handle a package with disposable gloves

pick it up, carry it inside, take out whatever, discard the packaging, wash you hands and never during that time should you have touched your face

coronavirus wont leap off a surface onto you and into your mouth, if you follow good hygiene and are picky about hands and face during this time you can dramatically lower your chances of catching it.

Hundreds of cars queuing to get in my local Asda, hour long queues to get into Morrisons. My street alone has two house-parties going on. Yup, we are headed for an even more stringent lockdown if people keep it up. This weekend is going to be warm and sunny and people are not going to stay at home.
 
This will be waved off as "right wing" and "conservative" talking points.

Or "Russian propaganda to harm our relationship with our trade ally".

I can't wait for Schiff's inquisition and what shit he'll try to pull. We all know who owns him.

Speaking of, maybe this can get the white supremacist types to stop thinking Jews own the world and turn to the East for the true culprits. The media is acting towards China the exact way those sorts think they do towards Jews - they praise China, push their propaganda and attack American society, and run cover for any slight criticism by screaming "sinophobia".

I just got delivery of mine as well. I sprayed down the box with Lysol before I opened it LOL.
 


Big sex difference between men and women. It might not just be sociological but biological.

Guys lets all start identifying as women.


Where I live its the other way around, but then again we only have 50 infected on a 250k population, so its quite a small sample.

My local government has made using masks obligatory and its giving 2 reusable masks per household to everyone.

I google her just for fun and like in any other photos she look very different and I mean bad-type of different.

More "information" (more like speculation) on her than you could probably ever possibly want:

I wish my government would do this. I want to get a mask but I can't find any.

lol....look at some of the points in this hit piece

  • She describes herself as a Harvard graduate but actually enrolled in Harvard's Extension School where entry requirements are much lower
  • Rion appears to have visited New Hampshire with her brother and sister and was photographed in front of a Chris Christie sign
  • Her fiance ran for Senate in a Republican primary in Missouri as Courtland Sykes but his real first name is Bobby

This is kinda more politics.. but can I just say how fucking tired of people deceptively editing things to suit their agendas?



It's beyond frustrating and is just sad at this point. It sucks that almost every big media outlet has their own agenda that informs not only what they choose to report, but also how they report it (including selective editing like in this clip). At least it's a lot easier to go to the source these days, but so few people bother to do so.

Who even needs deepfakes when you can just deceptively edit things and that's somehow perfectly ok. Ugh. I don't pretend this is exclusive to CNN or the left either. The "Truth" is rarely ever told by anyone these days and it makes me sad.

Also sad:

It smells like conspiracy and I think it's misogyny.
To counter feminist claim that it's a (female) gender issue, men have figured they could counter it by dying more often, to make those women look silly.
(I'm not a native Englsh speaker, but my understanding is that male gender issue is not, in fact, a gender issue. Curious)

It's unbelievable how far does patriarchy go to hurt women..

So you only have 13 days to finish the game ..time is runing.


Jk. As someone said just get rid of the package and wash your hands and if possible other internal packages like the plastic case.[/QUOTE]
