A Detailed and Damming Description Of Scientific Advice On Covid

[Pattaya Spotter]

Why Did It Take So Long to Accept the Facts About Covid?

 

If the importance of aerosol transmission had been accepted early, we would have been told from the beginning that it was much safer outdoors, where these small particles disperse more easily, as long as you avoid close, prolonged contact with others. We would have tried to make sure indoor spaces were well ventilated, with air filtered as necessary. Instead of blanket rules on gatherings, we would have targeted conditions that can produce superspreading events: people in poorly ventilated indoor spaces, especially if engaged over time in activities that increase aerosol production, like shouting and singing. We would have started using masks more quickly, and we would have paid more attention to their fit, too. And we would have been less obsessed with cleaning surfaces. https://nyti.ms/3bdwa6u

As we  are all aware.....colds and flu.......coughs and sneezes spread diseases......it was a no brainer that aerosol spreading was almost certainly going to be an important factor.......why they pussyfooted around with the notion of masks/no masks, social distancing/eat out to spread it about and Johnson's Xmas killerthon is astonishing.

Agree...also shows why cases generally low across Asia...early and widespread adoption of wearing masks.

Someone post this off to the decision makers here so we can open outside restaurants. Maybe have the massage shops open outside too, but certainly get the ridiculous ban on beach gatherings removed.

Many viruses that cause colds are spread primarily but surface contact. Rhinovirus is a well know example.   Try a quick google search before spreading misinformation.

Nothing to be ashamed of, unless you're of local origin and there's a dimensional issue.
