Corona Virus #7

[ruffdog]

Anyone else start wearing mask and gloves to the store recently?

Yes, for the past two weeks. Today, wife went shopping for a stash of food and wore n95 mask, gloves, and goggles. Ya don't want to catch it through the eyes either.
They had a plexi-glass barrier between the cashier and customer. About 30% of the people were wearing masks.

The scuttlebutt is that the feds are going to ask the public to wear masks soon. Where are getting these masks?

Did you mean Galapagos?

Typo corrected, thanks.

Right,

He has been relieved of command. People with far more information and experience than you or I made that decision. Let痴 leave it at that...

No lets not...What has occurred with the captain has nothing to do with some imbecile making unwarranted comments...!

^^^^^^
Would you two please take it elsewhere?

USS Theodore Roosevelt commanding officer relieved of duty, acting Navy secretary announces | Fox News


Oops, shooterdon beat me to it.

"Modly said: "This decision is not one of retribution."

"I did not come to this decision lightly," he said. "I have no doubt in my mind [Captain] Crozier did what he thought was in the best interest [of] the safety and well being of his crew. Unfortunately, he did the opposite."

"It unnecessarily raised alarms with the families of our sailors and Marines with no plan to address those concerns," Modley continued. "It raised concerns about the operational security and operational capability of that ship that could have emboldened our adversaries to seek advantage and it undermined the chain of command." "

I think Modley covered the issues well. The chain of command will not be broken rule. This is not the last virus that is ever going to come around but now Captains have an example to NOT follow.

Just saw a report on Fox that Florida can not get masks because foreign buyers are bringing cash to 3M distributors and buying them up.

Something wrong with that.....

A tough football player had to go in the ICU when he caught COVID while his wife was never treated. Every person is different how this bug attacks you. A good read on his experience though.

Experts warn as many as 1 in 3 coronavirus test results may be incorrectly negative

A false negative = one positive spreader.

Just heard on the news that the Federal Government will transport masks to New York to private sellers!
Can that be true??
/edit - note I did not write we were selling them, just transporting

Sounds like we are all going to be wearing masks if we are around others but not like doing tractor work on the back 40.

Do you have a link to that?

COVID-19 May Be Transmitted Through the Eye, Report Finds

This talks about it as a possibility. Since he was an ophthalmologist and this method of transfer sounds reasonable in a medical sense I can see him holding that view. I expect we will learn there are many ways it can spread.

It is good that stash is being put to good use.

Perhaps those guilty parties who had a little foresight should be appointed federal positions.

Now that is funny and sad at the same time.
