mdn82 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 They aren’t. That’s why I said they HELP PREVENT. A reason doctors ask you to wear them. Why millions in China wear them because of all the pollution. Because it helps stop airborne particles. I’m guessing you don’t know much? Masks along with washing and sanitizing your hands and just not traveling all help. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appLmao ok Joe. It doesn’t STOP transmission. It SLOWS transmission. If airborne particles were stopped by masks there would be no flu as people would’ve been prescribed masks. Masks are for people who already have diseases. To slow the transmission. That’s also why the surgeon general said to stop buying them. See I have worked in a healthcare setting as a Biomedical Technician. This is something I know.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 You need a legit respirator to protect yourself. You know how I know that. Doctors 100% sure. But surgical masks help the spread so that you’re at the very least not just coughing on everything or breathing everything in. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
mdn82 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 N95 for players and staff. Fans permitted if they have them. Jk. But seriously, it is a shade overblown. And don’t tell me the fatality rate is 10x compared to seasonal influenza when we’ve had a handful of cases here. That N is still way too small. Standard precautions still rule all, but until the herd has enough sense to use them faithfully, the media has something to run with. Depending on how it spreads, I fear implications on March Madness are looming. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners It probably is overblown. Currently it is statistically 34 times deadlier than the flu. Dependent on how easily it is transmitted is dependent on how much people should worry. The fear is it is as easily transmissible as the flu. If that’s the case, we are in deep ****. If not? It’s overblown. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

HinnyHoosier Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Did you just claim that you can only gauge the fatality based on American cases? To be accurate within the American population in comparison with influenza mortality rate IN AMERICA? Why yes, I guess I did. But...looking through what I actually typed, I guess I didn’t. That’s because... well, there aren’t enough cases of coronavirus to. adequately. compare. Just cover your mouth, wash your hands, stop picking your nose, and stay home if you feel ill.

Toughness, tenacity, high IQ, disciplined, rock-solid culture of winning. We flushed all that down the toilet when we gave the keys to Mike Davis and I'm not sure we'll ever get it back. Quote
