WHO confirms there's 'emerging evidence' of airborne transmission of coronavirus

I liked the episode where everyone was on another planet and this gorgeous blonde complained about being really ugly. (They never showed anyone’s faces on the show until the end.) At the end, everyone had a pig face, but she was still gorgeous, even after an operation to turn her into looking like the others had failed. The doctor (also had a pig face) took it pretty hard that the surgery was a failure.

Yes, read what I cut from the attachment: "We have been talking about the possibility of airborne transmission and aerosol transmission as one of the modes of transmission of Covid-19, as well as droplet." From that I see three different modes of transportation, airborne, aerosol and droplets. I saw this as it was new and ordered googles as I posted on this subject elsewhere. What she (the doctor) is saying as I interpret it is it may be floating around nearly as a gas. I added that to the theory that some are getting in from eye contact so I ordered goggles in case it proves out as true. To me, after all the masks and sanitizers why is it now soaring? Are we doing some thing wrong or is this thing damn near invisible?
 
The actual bottom line that unless the Federal Administration, mandates wearing face masks as a FEDERAL LAW there will be the nose thumbers
who will follow "their leader" and flip off the rest of us. Not wearing a seat belt is against the law in the USA, as is smoking in a public place, and we all abide by those laws that restrict some personal freedoms. Just what is the problem here? It's very clear.

I truly don't understand why all governors, mayors and local officials haven't done exactly as your suggest, given the absence of a federal mandate.

they have finally mandated masks in my area of the midwest. i would assume that at some point all states will follow suit. eventually they will have little choice.

I like what a doctor on TV said, “We should all learn to live with the disease.”

I don't even know what that means. "Live with the disease." How, exactly?

Open everything up and hope to not get seriously or mortally ill? Hospitals and medical personnel will just have to buck up and cope. Or not. Bummer about those N95s and other PPE shortages, folks. But thanks, docs, nurses and other medical care workers for being our "heroes."

Reopen schools full-time, serving all students regardless of a campus's ability to socially distance them? With or without masking kids and adults? Time to roll the dice that all will work out, right? Too bad, so sad for the families whose dice come up snake eyes because, you know, the economy really needs the de facto daycare provided by schools. Teachers and admins, thanks for being our "heroes."

Hey you folks who work work at the slaughtering/processing plants... Get back to work despite the extraordinary high risk because, you know, other people NEED to consume bacon, chicken parts, and other animals products on a daily basis. You on the lines, thanks for being our "heroes."

How does one learn to live with this disease?
 
I do believe in masks. They are finally mandated here in Texas. The question is...keeping restaurants open even partially. How exactly does one wear a mask into a restaurant and eat without taking it off. Did some of you see the China restaurant flow chart of how one asymptomatic person infected all those others?

A scientist said yesterday that they have just proven the most infectious time is when a person is asymptomatic and just on the near brink of showing symptoms. So much for taking people's temperature to prove its "ok" for them to go into a meeting or fly. Here's the link to the flow chart in case you didn't see it:

What he was talking about was because until we get a vaccine, it's here to stay. It's like having a guest in your house that came to visit for a week and 3 months later, they are still there. The specialists thought that the warmer weather would reduce the effectiveness of the virus, which has shown not to be true. Some of the other countries seem to be doing better than the U.S. Kids are even back in school. We have done a lot of testing and still can't seem to get a handle on it.
