Nearly statistically impossible, but still possible. I like to be very accurate when I speak. Ultimately it only takes one virus and it only takes one sperm, but those scenarios will likely never play out. I still wouldn't allow someone to blow a single healthy Covid virus up my nose. -

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment

One Virus Particle Is Enough To Cause Infectious Disease
Date:March 14, 2009Source:Wageningen University and Research CentreSummary:Can exposure to a single virus particle lead to infection or disease? Until now, solid proof has been lacking. Experimental research with insect larvae has shown that one virus particle is theoretically enough to cause infection and subsequent disease.Comment

I don't even know where to begin with this. Completely insane! So, it is the citizens responsibility to make sure that other areas of the community are complying and helping to bring down infections?

California’s larger counties will not be permitted to reopen their economies further unless they reduce coronavirus infections in the hardest hit places where the poor, Black people, Latinos and Pacific Islanders live.
Under a new state requirement for reopening during the pandemic, counties with more than 106,000 residents must bring infections down in these places and invest heavily there in testing, contact tracing, outreach and providing means for infected people to isolate. Los Angeles is one county sure to be affected, along with others in Southern California.Comment

Very comprehensive list of the data. I have over the last 7 months read over a dozen of those studies. It does a good job of separating the risk/reward of masks and deconflates “mask” by the various types.Originally posted by pinstripers View PostLivin the dreamComment

Don't put all your hopes and dreams in a disciplined population of 10M living in rugged isolation.
Better to put your hope in a solid fitting mask. :PComment

Finally!!! Someone with some real sense!! Make that 6,300 medical practitioners with some sense.
The Great Barrington Declaration,1 published on Monday 5 October, was drawn up by three epidemiologists and public health experts from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford universities, who describe their approach as “focused protection” of the people most at risk.
As of Wednesday 7 October almost 6300 medical practitioners and public health scientists from the US, the UK, and other nations had signed the declaration.
The authors—Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard, Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology at Oxford, and Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine and economics at Stanford—said that because older people were 1000 times more likely to die of covid-19 than younger people, an “age stratified” approach could allow resources to be focused on older and high risk patients, while allowing younger and healthier people to attend school and keep businesses open.
They argue that focused protection would reduce the “collateral harms” of lockdown, including deaths from suicides, reduced childhood immunization, and increases in domestic violence.
Gupta said that widespread starvation was another serious consequence of lockdowns—a concern underscored by a report from the charity Oxfam,2 which found that border closures, curfews, and travel restrictions had caused breaks in the food supply that threatened to cause 12 000 deaths a day worldwide, exceeding the 10 000 deaths a day recorded from covid-19 in April.3Kulldorff said that, with focused protection, low risk people could remain active and that this would help communities reach herd immunity sooner, which could shorten the duration and harms of lockdowns.4 Herd immunity, he said at a meeting in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, “is not a strategy—but a biological reality that will arrive sooner or later, either naturally or through a vaccine, or both.”
He defended the Swedish approach, saying that “schools were never closed for children aged 1 to 15, with zero covid-19 deaths . . .and the United States has now passed Sweden in terms of deaths per million inhabitants, despite Sweden having an older, more high risk population.”5Comment

Did WHO official just admit that COVID-19 death rate is similar to that of the flu?
A top WHO official has now given us the denominator we were looking for, which proves that the fatality rate of this virus is right in line with seasonal flus, although more people will be infected.Comment

Sweden is becoming very draconian! Due to the increased rate of infection, Sweden will do the following:
1. Increase testing
2. Request that all members of a household with a confirmed case quarantine for one week.
3. Recommend that anyone with cold like symptoms not go to work.Livin the dreamComment
