Hi Dr J,

Thank you for your welcome, educated input on this thread.

We use masks in my business to prevent inhaling particles that can cause issues. Reusable with replaceable filters and disposable items.

That they can also prevent the expulsion of potential contaminants is a plus.

I see no downside to wearing them in any situation providing they are worn correctly, changed regularly and disposed of safely.

They can only add a positive to the social distancing and isolation requirements that we are all facing.

We are thinking you all in the USA while you take control of this virus.

All the best from Oz.

That is amazing, how quick they went from an idea on paper to manufacturing its first model. F1 engineers are incredible

This is the type of innovation and ingenuity that I continue to say will move the capability of healthcare services upward to meet the challenges ahead.

Thanks for sharing it.

It wasn’t the best representation of Social distancing.

From the pics I saw online:
Battery Park was crowded along the railings; perhaps hundreds per the pics - and W 51st St/12th Av near Pier 90 had maybe 50 crowded together for a glimpse.

For us to see the pics of the people taking pics means some (many?) were photojournalists looking for the opportunity to put a slant on the passers-by. The others likely live streamed it or updated FB as if they being there was somehow newsworthy.

Has anyone noticed that the reduced air travel means quieter skies overhead?

It is also interesting that air quality around the world has gotten better based on a lot of photos from around the world.

Dolphins have even been spotted in the canals of Venice which hasn't happened in a very long time due to all of the boats and sediment from the bottom being kicked up.

Not to be a johnny rain cloud, but I believe the alleged story about dolphins being spotted in Venetian canals was completely false.

Lots of interesting articles on this. Here’s a good read.

Absolutely- not quite as jarring as the week post 9-1-1, but definitely quieter skies. Eerie.

thanks for the link. That's unfortunate, but at least the reduced air pollution is some good news.

Here is some current numbers from Northern California. All positive tests for Covid-19. Not sure about all the local agencies but this represents some of departments that have been hit the hardest.

Santa Clara County SO - 4 deputies

San Jose PD - 2 officers

San Francisco PD - 4 officers

San Francisco SO - 4 deputies, 1 cadet

Santa Rosa PD - 8 officers

Oakland PD - 3 officers

San Jose FD - 13 firefighters

Numerous other sworn and civilian personnel on quarantine and or awaiting tests for the virus from multiple agencies both LE and fire.

Maybe not goats or Venice, but goats have been seen in Welsh town

I have a question for you to consider. I really don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other.

Sweden is not shutting down like most developed countries. They are encouraging hygiene and social distancing, but not mandating it. They have a Covid-19 problem (180 deaths in a population of ten million) but it is not as bad as some.

The US just added 20k new cases and over 500 deaths each of the last couple of days.

Question- if the US doesn’t see a significant improvement, should we imitate Sweden’s policy?
