thedestroyerofworlds Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 So wearing masks should be a thing. Who would have thought that. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-020-06277-0 Comparing Associations of State Reopening Strategies with COVID-19 Burden On average, the number of excess cases per 100,000 residents in states reopening without masks is ten times the number in states reopening with masks after 8 weeks (643.1 cases; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 406.9, 879.2 and 62.9 cases; CI = 12.6, 113.1, respectively). Excess cases after 6 weeks could have been reduced by 90% from 576,371 to 63,062 and excess deaths reduced by 80% from 22,851 to 4858 had states implemented mask mandates prior to reopening. Over 50,000 excess deaths were prevented within 6 weeks in 13 states that implemented mask mandates prior to reopening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin is a Brit military guy, recon. Been deployed in some tough places including Iraq and Afghanistan. I once asked him where the scariest place he has been is? he said some of the Orthodox Jewish areas of England. He said you just don't mess with those people, you go missing. That's England's lack of intelligent thought and post colonialism has just brought them all of there former citizens home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think given their culture being more capable of handling such a crisis compared with us, it's just going to be different over there and not a fair comparison. They have had a few more years to figure stuff like this out.They should actually have no cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they're not happy about covid measures in NY. https://www.timesofisrael.com/prominent-jewish-journalist-assaulted-at-ultra-orthodox-brooklyn-virus-protest/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still takes about 3 days with the backlog, at least when I got two done. Did them on fridays too. Got the results back on Monday. 3 days is typical I believe.

This is new ground for a most, if not all, nations. You don't get experience from "having a few more years". You get experience once it actually happens. Everything is theoretical until that time.

Tortorella's Rant Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ontario sounding like BC. Insurance rates have continue to rise this year despite claims cut more than in half between March and September. Rates up 20% overall in the last 3 years. Less coverage but increased rates.

Yeah they told me the same, but prepared me for up to 7 days. That was back in March and April though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Positive case at a Vernon high school. Possibly four full days if exposure before they caught it. A direct line to my school as the husband of one of our grade 6/7 classes works there. She was away this full week. Awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your possible prior deal, makes it even more frightening I'm sure. I have a teacher friend in Surrey who's had 3 emails so far...one of immediate possible exposure. Start work at a school soon. Mixed feelings....while it's my passion and I love working with kids, I'm slightly terrified. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The virus responsible for Covid-19 can remain infectious on surfaces such as banknotes, phone screens and stainless steel for 28 days, researchers say. The findings from Australia's national science agency suggest SARS-Cov-2 can survive for far longer on surfaces than previously thought. But the latest research from Australian agency CSIRO found the virus was "extremely robust," surviving for 28 days on smooth surfaces such as glass found on mobile phone screens and both plastic and paper banknotes, when kept at 20C (68F), which is about room temperature. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54500673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
