Three New Cases Reported Today, October 7

Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:novel coronavirus Covid-19 Humboldt

Three new cases of COVID-19 were reported today, bringing to 527 the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus.

Humboldt County is now in the “yellow” tier under the state’s four-tier “Blueprint to a Safer Economy,” based on local COVID-19 data. Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said this move demonstrates the county’s dedication to safety measures.

“I want to thank everyone who has taken on this responsibility,” she said. “Unfortunately, we are not done dealing with COVID-19. It is very likely that counties across California will move up and down through the tiers over time. The good news is that if we keep following prevention measures, our county has a better chance at staying in the lower tiers and keeping most sectors of our business community operating. It will take all of us doing our part to achieve that.”

Today’s local alert level was lowered to level one or green. Visit humboldtgov.org/dashboard to view the county’s Alert Level Assessment tool.

Even Trump’s own former National Security Advisor is warning against his connections to Putin’s government.

No he didn’t. He warned that Trump was “aiding” the Russians by not taking a hard stand against them because Trump felt that any action against Putin would be intrepeted by the liberals and press as calling his own election into question. And now where would Trump get that idea… Oh wait, from the same TDS actors have rejoiced in distorting even this spin of what McMasters said into exactly the reality that Trump worries about.

Im sure you understood what I meant.

So is the new message “fear the snowflakes, but not the Rona”

I find no need to live in fear and attempt to hide behind a proxy server and alias. You trolls wouldnt type half the nonesense you do if you had to sign your real name. Try it sometime,you might think before typing

Wait? What? I’ll type all the nonsense I want!!! You’re posting as Bryan, but which one? Boitano? Cranston? Adams? I need specifics. Enquiring minds want to know. Can I get your address and phone number? What about your tax ID number? I’ve got a pledge drive to run! Are you a licensed minister? How much are you willing to give today? Don’t worry. I understand.

Thanks,

There is some evidence to support the wearing of masks or respirators during illness to protect others, and public health emphasis on mask wearing during illness may help to reduce influenza virus transmission. 

That’s from your first link.

Shall I continue to read your pro-mask links for you?

“Conclusion: Face mask use in health care workers has not been demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds. A larger study is needed to definitively establish noninferiority of no mask use.”

This is from the first link.

Review of the Medical Literature
Here are key anchor points to the extensive scientific literature that establishes that wearing surgical masks and respirators (e.g., “N95”) does not reduce the risk of contracting a verified illness:

Jacobs, J. L. et al. (2009) “Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: A randomized controlled trial,” American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 37, Issue 5, 417 – 419. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002

N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in HCW was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds.

Cowling, B. et al. (2010) “Face masks to prevent transmission of influenza virus: A systematic review,” Epidemiology and Infection, 138(4), 449-456. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-infection/article/face-masks-to-prevent-transmission-of-influenza-virus-a-systematic- review/64D368496EBDE0AFCC6639CCC9D8BC05

None of the studies reviewed showed a benefit from wearing a mask, in either HCW or community members in households (H). See summary Tables 1 and 2 therein.

bin-Reza et al. (2012) “The use of masks and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: a systematic review of the scientific evidence,” Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 6(4), 257–267. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1750-2659.2011.00307.x

“There were 17 eligible studies. … None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”

Smith, J.D. et al. (2016) “Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks in protecting health care workers from acute respiratory infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis,” CMAJ Mar 2016 https://www.cmaj.ca/content/188/8/567

“We identified six clinical studies … . In the meta-analysis of the clinical studies, we found no significant difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks in associated risk of (a) laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, (b) influenza-like illness, or (c) reported work-place absenteeism.”

Offeddu, V. et al. (2017) “Effectiveness of Masks and Respirators Against Respiratory Infections in Healthcare Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 65, Issue 11, 1 December 2017, Pages 1934–1942, https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/65/11/1934/4068747

The first trial was under 40 participants and ends with a statement that it was TOO SMALL A SAMPLE SIZE TO DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS.

The Cambridge study like is broken.

The CMAJ study is a comparison between two types of mask. There was no non-masked control.

The final study’s discussion section begins:

“Compared to non-rPPE wearing HCWs, those wearing medical masks or N95 respirators throughout their work shift were significantly protected against nonspecific respiratory infection.”

So, yeah, WEAR A FUCKING MASK IN PUBLIC. It’s not that hard. Also, READ YOUR STUDIES BEFORE YOU POST THEM.

“The only two studies that compared mask and respirators to protect healthcare workers from influenza infection essentially reached different conclusions5,6”

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1750-2659.2011.00307.x
“Concerns have been raised about possible acute respiratory infection spread via limited-distance airborne transmission, but this is controversial and has not been proven.”

And

” N95 respirators are often considered uncomfortable for regular use, and improper wearing or adjustment of the respirator because of discomfort could lead to inadvertent face contamination, thus negating the potential protective benefit.”

https://www.cmaj.ca/content/188/8/567

“Current guidelines on rPPE use in healthcare settings are based on limited evidence of their effectiveness [4]. Studies to investigate the efficacy of rPPE are challenging, because of difficulties ensuring users’ compliance and limited statistical power to evaluate effectiveness against low-incidence outcomes [8]. Thus, results are often incongruent, leading to inconsistent international guidelines [8, 9] and conflicting practice recommendations.”

Way to perhaps not own up to your own false assumptions of our reality! Maybe you could learn in the future to kinda consider the possibility of some people to sorta not align with the”status quo” of relative beliefs of what is the possibility of aligning with your supposed belief structure that you kinda purportedly thought about that one time when you were contemplating the vastness of what you could possibly imagine… What??? Is that open-ended enough for your specific body of relevant jargon in this time/space continuum?
