No different in the USA.

The fact of the matter is that almost all respiratory viruses are *primarily* spread by aerosols. The short-range sneeze/cough route is a combination of aerosol and droplet. But, outside of that, infected people spread via aerosols that float on the air currents and have a significant hang-time. Worse, most masks (surgical, cloth) actually aerosolize exhalate.

If you can smell perfume, cigar smoke, etc. while wearing a mask, it's not protecting you from aerosols.

If true then the claims the wildfire smoke is carrying the virus as some media has reported.

Virusses usually do not like exposition to UV, light, heat, dryness. Thats why you will not find them sitting on the surface of tree leafs in the jungle, for exmaple, or free floating surface water in lakes. But in moist caves, animals' bodies.

Vitamin D from the sun. I understand that vitamin D does help with getting over COVID. Zinc as well.

US to recommend COVID vaccine boosters for all citizens 8 months after 2nd shot

https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-to-...fter-8-months/

US experts are expected to recommend COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all Americans, regardless of age, eight months after they received their second dose of the shot, to ensure lasting protection against the coronavirus as the Delta variant spreads across the country.

Federal health officials have been actively looking at whether extra shots for the vaccinated would be needed as early as this fall, reviewing case numbers in the US as well as the situation in other countries such as Israel, where preliminary studies suggest the vaccine’s protection against serious illness dropped among those vaccinated in January.

An announcement on the US booster recommendation was expected as soon as this week, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Doses would only begin to be administered widely once the Food and Drug Administration formally approves the vaccines, rather than the emergency approval that has been in play thus far. That action is expected for the Pfizer shot in the coming weeks.

Last week, US health officials recommended boosters for some with weakened immune systems, citing their higher risk of catching the virus and evidence that the vaccines’ effectiveness waned over time.

The smaller of my two hospitals is pretty much maxed out now. I wonder what's different....

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tests positive for COVID-19

"The governor spoke Monday night at a GOP event in Collin County, later tweeting photos of him addressing a maskless crowd. Less than three hours before his diagnosis was announced Tuesday afternoon, he tweeted pictures of a meeting with guitarist Jimmie Vaughan."

Good we know he's a governor, otherwise he would be in an asylum

I doubt your sanity far more than I doubt Abbots. You do realize that neither event could have been what infected him right?

[Catfish]

What about him infecting others when he went to this packed indoor fundraiser event, with all people there unmasked?

On the morning of 14th while at work my body was telling me something wasn’t right. I felt tired, nauseous, had a runny nose muscle aches from the neck all the way down to the lower back. I got home that after noon and I could feel the onset of a sore throat and I was utterly exhausted.

I laid down around 6pm and immediately fell asleep. I woke up at 1030pm with chills and a massive sinus headache the one right between the eyes. Tried to sleep but the headache was so bad I didn’t sleep well all night.

Then about 4:30 AM I woke up with a fever. At 7 am I went to the store to get some sinus meds. Came back home popped one of those and the headache went away. I slept like a baby til noon.

Still feel a bit under the weather and tired not much of an appetite either.

Damn Ragweed.
