Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

[Blake P]

Based on the discussion attached, it appears as though testing indicates the protection from a 3rd (booster) dose of the OG provides the same protection against Beta and Delta as a targeted ("switched") mRNA booster dose. That's great news.

For now, FDA says no reason for widespread booster program. Not that I completely disagree, but hopefully they allow people to get them if they want them instead of just allowing the shots to be thrown away...

Meanwhile, #GOATvax entered the chat...

Moderna says COVID-19 vaccine protection wanes, makes case for booster

New data from Moderna Inc's large COVID-19 vaccine trial shows that the protection it offers wanes over time, supporting the case for booster doses, the company said in a news release on Wednesday.

Here I am talking about 3rd doses and some people still refuse to get their first despite the wealth of evidence showing they're safe and effective. Thank God for socialized COVID medical care!

Evidence of conspiracies that involve switching around numbers and letters are my favorite.

"Mike, I live here. We not really ******* with yall like that."

Especially when the math is off.

It's even better when the math is incorrect.

Wow I didn’t check the math when I first saw it

Yeah same.

Woops.

Normal surgical masks have pore approx 0.3-10 microns, and viruses are 0.004 to 0.1 microns in size. so how it can prevent virus? Bring the fact no opinion.. so no “but”

Think of it like shooting a bullet through a forest. The space between the trees is huge compared to the bullet but eventually it'll hit a tree.

Face masks can filter small airborne particles, including respiratory droplets, and are effective at reducing the spread of COVID-19

Face masks filter small airborne particles which carry viral particles, including respiratory droplets, even if these particles are smaller than the pore size of face masks, as small airborne particles do not move in a straight line and collide with the fabric fibers while passing through the...

how familiar are you with thermodynamics, brownian motion, gas laws, and probability?

since it seems the analogy wasn't sufficient, we're going to have to step it up a notch.

but you have to promise me you'll read whatever paper I share with you.

What if Delta can curve bullets like dude in Wanted?

What are we doing here ?

If someones shooting at you and you run into a forest you're less likely to get hit.

Face Masks in the New COVID-19 Normal: Materials, Testing, and Perspectives

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases in recent decades has posed a serious threat to public health. Routes of transmission differ, but the respiratory droplet or airborne route has the greatest potential to disrupt social intercourse, while being amenable to prevention by the humble...

theres some actual physics in that article that I didn't want to read

edit for more support: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/sars-cov-2-transmission.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/scientific-brief-sars-cov-2.html

The principal mode by which people are infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) is through exposure to respiratory fluids carrying infectious virus. Exposure occurs in three principal ways: (1) inhalation of very fine respiratory droplets and aerosol particles, (2) deposition of respiratory droplets and particles on exposed mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, or eye by direct splashes and sprays, and (3) touching mucous membranes with hands that have been soiled either directly by virus-containing respiratory fluids or indirectly by touching surfaces with virus on them.

bottom line: yes the COVID virion is smaller than mask pores. but the virion travels via respiratory droplets, which the regular surgical mask DOES BLOCK.

Minimum Sizes of Respiratory Particles Carrying SARS-CoV-2 and the Possibility of Aerosol Generation

This study calculates and elucidates the minimum size of respiratory particles that are potential carriers of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); furthermore, it evaluates the aerosol generation potential of SARS-CoV-2. The ...

COVID respiratory droplets are minimum around 4.7 microns

In the case of maximum viral-loading derived from experimental data of COVID-19 patients, 7.18 × 10−4% of a respiratory fluid particle from a COVID-19 patient is occupied by SARS-CoV-2. Hence, the minimum size of a respiratory particle that can contain SARS-CoV-2 is calculated to be approximately 4.7 μm.

An overview of filtration efficiency through the masks: Mechanisms of the aerosols penetration

The masks have always been mentioned as an effective tool against environmental threats. They are considered as protective equipment to preserve the r…

www.sciencedirect.com

In a study by Milton et al. [24], they have investigated the effects of using surgical masks in preventing the aerosols influenza transmission. The obtained results indicated that surgical masks had prevented the viral detection aerosols by 25-fold for the coarse aerosols, and 2.5-fold for the fine particles, hence, generally 3.4-fold reduction was reported for the exhaled aerosols. In consequence, the surgical masks can limit the release of the droplets larger than 5 μm.

for sure it's not 100% foolproof or as good as an n95 or higher, but it's something. you add in physical distancing and basic hygeine, we gucci. unless you're planning on throwing COVID into a nebulizer and inhaling from the stream, surgical mask is fine.

edit 2: respiratory droplets don't magically float in the air indefinitely. they like most other things are affected by gravity, so they fall to the ground and are harmless (this is the rationale behind physical distancing). someone would have to directly sneeze in your face with respiratory droplets smaller than .0002 inches to get past that mask

imagine shooting a bullet into a forest, but instead of shooting it out of a gun my fatass is carrying the bullet in my hand through a forest. I'm gonna hit a tree, right?

If you can flick your wrists then you can curve a bullet. Im just sayin.

I see brogods is putting in work in here, I remember him from the political thread when he got ban for trying to push bigotry against homosexual people as some pro black thing. And to say that gay people are working toward America accepting pedophilia because it is a byproduct of homosexuality...

So while he is showing his *** in here, remember brahs, he is also a bigot.
