Looking at this in terms of probabilities, why do you see this as riskier than the flu for you? Are you in any high risk categories? If you don't have any symptoms why are do you see yourself as a big risk to others?
A method, anyway Trump now says necessary and "patriotic" to wear one so you boy has cut the legs out from under your whole beliefs on this. Unless you are going to say to us that President Donald J Trump is WRONG.
i like to wear my ebay vintage space suit with full regalia locked down tight. i have to drive standing up in my vintage bread truck. safety first!
There is less risk when you are outside where there is fresh air and wind to dissipate the Corona Virus. As one doctor explained it, the more droplets hit you and attach to your body, the greater your risk of contracting the Corona Virus because there is the chance that you would have a huge number of droplets potentially, entering your eyes, ears or mouth. In wide open spaces, those jogging or walking have very minimal risk of contracting the Corona Virus. Now, in enclosed areas like hospitals, grocery stores, casinos, your risk goes exponentially higher as more droplets from an infected person coughing or sneezing latch onto your body and there is no wind to dissipate the Corona Virus away from your body.
The stupidity of the new mask policy. My gym now requires a mask when entering the gym, in the locker room, and when walking from one workout area to another. No mask is required while actually working out. So the magic virus knows when I'm actally lifting and will leave me alone, but walking over to the next spot it will attack me. I'm all for wearing masks where appropriate, but taking them on and off just because you're moving 25 feets is idiotic. The magic virus strikes again
Looks like tall people may be at low risk then due to gravity?. I would love to see a statistic of average height of Wuhan 19 victims if that indeed is the method of transmission.
Common sense has gone out the window. To think if we all practised common sense, there would be less panic and hysteria. Also, businesses need not be needlessly shutdown. Nail and hair salons have spent thousands improving their facilities but, shutting them down a 2nd time in California will be the end of it. Hairdressers who do not make that much and rely on customer tips will be out of jobs, for what? Everyone inside the salon wearing masks including, splatter shields in the work areas, what more do the extreme liberals want?
These are from actual doctors who treat patients who said these things, not the cushy six figure, behind the desk types like Dr. Anthony Fauci. Now, I would believe these doctors in the frontlines as opposed to bureaucrats trying to keep themselves relevant and their jobs safe?
It is absolutely contagious and very much so. But so what? The question isn't whether it is contagious. Chicken Pox is very contagious. What matters is whether it is simply another virus that we have to go through in life. And it is starting to look like that is exactly the case. You don't burn down the house simply because you find ants in the kitchen. You deal with the infestation and go on living in your house.
