Covid-45

[shunyadragon]

Sad that you have to put your latest ignorant anti-Trump rant next to a death toll --- shows you don't really care about the deaths, just hate for Trump.

The reverse is true Trump has shown indifference to the severity of the pandemic and the fatalities, at least, until recently when his Southern States get hit hard.

By the way a Duke research project documented the usefulness of face maske.All your bandana is good for is robbing banks, but the other masks were effective depending on design with N45 being,of course the best of the commonly used.

Duke researchers put masks, face coverings to the test

DURHAM, N.C. — How can consumers know how much protection their face covering really offers? A new Duke University study attempts to answer that very question.

The study conducted at Duke will help not only in the Triangle but all across the country.

Fitted N95 masks performed very well, according to the study, by keeping droplets inside the mask. But some coverings didn’t do so well.

“Stay healthy people,” said Department of Chemistry Associate Research Professor Dr. Martin Fischer. He said that each time while wearing a mask and uttering the phrase as researchers recorded droplets left on each mask.

"We want to make sure you wear a mask that actually works,” Fischer said.

"The mask that stood out by far is the N95, the true fitted N95 mask," Fischer said.

Fischer also said surgical masks "did a really good job."

Despite testing, the surgical mask didn’t do as well as the N95 because there are some gaps in the mask where droplets can escape. Researchers found that the two-layer cloth mask doesn’t give droplets much room to escape. However, it does not provide a tight seal like the N95.

The state of Kansas also did a study, well it wasn't actually a study, it just worked out that way. Half of the counties in Kansas mandated the use of masks while the other counties did not. The counties that mandated the use of masks a had far less infection rate than those counties who didn't make it mandatory.

This is a month old, but it pretty much validates the thread's title:

The United States, which is home to approximately 4% of the world’s population, currently contains more than 25% of all the world’s coronavirus cases — a staggering disparity that health experts are warning could soon overwhelm the capacity of the U.S. health care system.

According to data provided by Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, there were 2,910,023 confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. out of 11,516,782 confirmed cases around the world as of July 6.

The grim statistic comes at a time when confirmed cases are on the rise in 41 out of 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, and the percentage of tests coming back positive for the virus is increasing in 39 states.

And we have the record for recoveries

Kudos for actually supporting your claim.

It's still a record we'd rather not be a part of, as the "recovered" people include those suffering from long term / permanent damage this virus is capable of inflicting.

Hopefully this will wake us up and we will live a healthier life. Less smoking cigarettes, cigars, and weed. Less alcohol, more exercise, take vitamins, get more fresh air and sunlight. More fruits and veggies and lean meats and fish. Less carb laden garbage. My wife's epidemiologist friend told us "healthier people suffer little to no after effects of coronaviruses. Unhealthy and susceptible people suffer much more"

Alcohol and drug usage has sharply increased with bored folks stuck at home indulging more frequently. I expect we'll experience a noticeable increase in alcoholism and addiction rates after this is over.

Common sense should tell you the reason for the more recoveries is because there are more cases. More recoveries is nothing to bragg about.

Exactly right. I'll bet the US leads the world in successful gun shot recoveries, too.

We also have the record for fatalities. I beieve Russia like China is at least double the official the official record if not more.

If you ar by far the highest i cases and fatalities it is likely you will be the highest in rcoveries.

That was the original post, to which I posted the more positive stat of the US leading the world in recoveries. Yay life!!
