Exactly my point, I believe a cure(?) vaccine(?) something will intercede and stop this from happening. Call me the eternal optimist |

Not really. Influenza vaccine only conferred immunity to 40% of those who took it last year and the year before that. It was 19% effective in 2014-15 season. |

Yes I found that picture of you NOT wearing your mask and being denied access to mass transit system... But seriously, the irony is that picture was taken in Seattle, and they knew 100 years ago that masks thwarted community flu spread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Or is the irony that 100 years later we wear masks in public thinking it will help when it won't?

I also think there is a lot of misinformation out there. If that number were real, it would be plastered all over every news channel. They would eat that up.

the Coronavirus outbreak thread
Quote:
I agree surgical masks on healthy people have little protection. But on those who are walking around with coronavirus and sneezing/coughing, it helps by stopping their role in community transfer. Back in 1918, they had no tests to identify non-symptomatic H1N1 carriers. Thus the order for everyone to wear one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Why not use your whopping 50 posts as a member here to express your entitled opinion respectfully. Mine is medical science will (somehow) cut this off before so many people die, how foolish of me to hope for the best. You don’t think so? You believe hundreds of thousands will perish? A reasonable and potentially correct opinion. |

While you shake your head, they are reducing the possibility that they spread it to others, even though it doesn't protect them. It's as silly as covering your cough.

the Coronavirus outbreak thread

May I suggest reading the many admonitions of the Mods earlier in this thread to refrain from personalizing attacks on people’s opinions? You are so late to this convo - and so near the precipice of leaving TRF, that I’m sharing out of respect for your longtime membership. Only sharing In the spirit of the community.

“Handwashing with soap and warm water for 20 seconds is the preferred method of reducing germs and COVID19 transmission.
Hand sanitizer is less effective and should be used when handwashing facilities are unavailable.”

Yes, of course Seth, I have been a big critic of our media sensationalising this for a time. I forget what the document was produced from that they reference, I think that it was a computer model, which, as we know is only as good as the information inputted. I have been surprised at how little other news channels have used this, I know that the BBC is not really a reliable source but they skipped over it completely.

The Spanish Flu was 1918. The Spanish Flu did not kill a few hundreds of thousands. Estimates vary, but it appears to have killed between 20-50 million people. The Spanish Flu infected about 28% of Americans, it had a mortality rate of about 2.5% or about 670,000 Americans Yes, we have better medical care now. But on the other hand, there were not nearly that many people in the world then. And we were not as interconnected. I have no clue whether better medicine will prevail. I hope so. But I am very conerned. Here is an article from Sanford U. https://virus.stanford.edu/uda/
