Yeah. I don't know how I correlate stuff like this but that's probably a talent of Village Idiots.

Maybe the people who did not buy surgical masks when they were available will be the ones running around screaming.

No. They will be the ones running around trying to take our masks!
Seems the body Armour was not as bad a buy as I first thought!

As I repeatedly said, surgicla maks do not do much good, what you want are so-called respirator masks or half-masks of FFP3 standard. Surgical masks do not protect you from others that much, and that is not their purpose anyway -they help a bit to protect the others from you (if you are a spitting or heavy-breathing infectous patient, or are a surgeon breathing into the wounds of a patient you do surgery on).

This is No-No:

(almost no protection for the wearing person)




This is Gimme-gimme-wannahave:

(if filter is FFP3, this is good protection for the wearing person)









Consider wearing protective glasses if they ever find infection to work via the eye's mucosa as well:

Hmmm if i understood what this dr said. the spike in cases isnt from a sudden burst of new infections. the first set of numbers we were told of were underestimated. this spike is from now knowing the reality of the current circumstance. new infections still appear to be tapering off.

The spike indeed comes form a new counting method and a new diagnostic procedure that produces more reliable results, where as the test they did before, a genetic test, had a error quote of around 50%, which renders it almost useless. The new one however strill is far form fail-safe, but catches a higher number of ill people.

However, German media today occasionally reported about anonymous experts in China estimating the real number of infected and of deaths as higher than the regime admits - by a a factor of around 20. In words: TWENTY.

If the pandemic - thats what it is in China at least now - stays centred in China and can be contained, we will never know the real numbers from there. The regime will bury the real statistics in its deepest basement safes for decades to come.

Chinese government quietly requests 7 million body bags.
Quote:
As of today, the Chinese government has requested approximately 7 million body bags. China cannot produce them in sufficient quantities, so orders are being placed in foreign countries. So I'd like to pop the question: If they are being honest about a virus that has "only killed about a thousand", WHY TF do they need so FREAKING MANY body bags? Also, WHY are they insisting on incineration when there is no virus that would get through the decomposition stage in a mass grave? Obvious answer: Destruction of evidence.

50% of those tested so far on Diamond Princess are infected.

What's most disturbing about that number is that they've tested fewer than 500 of the more than 3,500 people on the ship," Ripley said on Anderson Cooper Full Circle.

219 infected out of 500 tested. Not good.


Coronavirus incubation period can last up to 24 days before first symptoms (not 14 days).
