Well that was quick – WHO has backed off from statement of asymptomatic rarely transfer.
Support for wearing a mask coming from hairstylist who was symptomatic with a mask – https://www.centredaily.com/news/coronavirus/article243395651.html
“A hairstylist at the Great Clips at 1864 S. Glenstone Ave. served 84 clients while symptomatic. The hairstylist infected a coworker, who worked with 56 clients.
Health officials said the hairstylists and all clients wore face masks during appointments, likely preventing spread of the disease. They credited Great Clips’ policies, including distancing salon chairs and staggering appointments.
The health department also offered testing to all potentially exposed to COVID-19 and remained in contact throughout the incubation period. All 46 people tested returned negative results, officials said. Additionally, everyone potentially exposed was quarantined and the health department called them twice a day to monitor symptoms, a spokeswoman told McClatchy News.”
Once again mechanical solutions not prohibitively expensive are available to mitigate virus spreads – https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200609/Deep-UV-LED-inactivation-of-SARS-CoV-2-fast-and-effective.aspx
“Recently, a DUV-LED instrument was reported to inactivate microbes of all kinds, at about 250-300 nm.”
“the plaque assay showed that even short periods of DUV-LED irradiation were capable of rapidly inactivating the virus. After one second of radiation exposure, the titer of infectious virus declined by 88%, and by 99.9% after a 10-second exposure.”
“UV irradiation devices, those providing UV-C are the most efficacious in sterilizing the irradiated objects, by producing photodamage in the DNA of the microbes. The UV light produces pyrimidine dimers in the DNA that disrupt the vital processes such as replication of DNA, transcription, and translation, that are required for microbial activity.
These effects eventually lead to microbial inactivation.”
Brazil leading the death pack…1272…US under 1K 999
NY is not even top 5 at 41 deaths. IL leading at 94 deaths. Confirmations are rising in CA, TX, FL in the 4 digits
County view nothing sticking out other than the usual suspects CA, MI, and AZ
Google data 6 days ago still show much of the workforce at home. Retail is still down. It does indicate a little more driving is occurring.
Japan still hasn’t gotten daily death below 10 on 7 day MA. Switzerland is observing a big spike in deaths. Brazil and Mexico not looking good.
