No knock on him— that’s the right thing to do and respect due— but we need to federally mandate this across the board. We can’t rely on the generosity of the tiny minority or landlords who will put humanity above rent extraction. Most workers, even before the crisis, statistically couldn’t afford a $300-400 emergency expense. Many have already been with one month’s rent since they had to stop working and there’s no reason to believe they’ll be able to go back soon. Some people are already being driven to the brink of bankruptcy by this last rent (and/or insurance premium) payment, & every month they let go by will be compoundingly worse.

Our government absolutely could freeze rents and interest payments. They could give all Americans a $2,000/month basic income. They could guarantee universal coverage of coronavirus treatment & testing. They could do many basic, obvious things to get us through the crisis without serious consequence, but instead they’re hanging us out to dry while they dump literally TRILLIONS to business owners and take the crisis as an opportunity to create a $500 billion dollar corporate slush fund with no real oversight and allow medical corporations to price gouge & exploit the emergency as a chance to make a killing while people die so fast that the morgues can’t keep up and the virus continues to spread... At least someone seems to have talked Trump out of the insane idea of sending people out of quarantine, back to work in the near future, despite the fact that it would likely lead to millions of deaths... But not before Thomas Friedman and other neoliberal monsters hopped on that bandwagon.

By the way, the people pushing through these several trillion dollars of supply-side bailouts/stimulus (knowing fully well that it isn’t going to help the working class majority of the country) are the same ones who claim we “can’t afford” Medicare-for-all (even though it would actually save substantial costs over the system we have now) and so many other uses of public resources that would actually (a) improve many people’s lives dramatically, (b) really stimulate the economy by putting money in the hands of those who actually tend to spend the money they have, and (c) serve as an investment that would pay back dividends rather than just throwing large proportions of it away.

Now, it's super duper cool of him and all, and that's a nice gesture if there ever was one but...

Don't you feel like having one guy owning 300 apartments is kinda part of the issue of having high rents ?

I mean, if you placed a law saying one can't own more than, say, three properties, it would leave more for others, at a lower price since there would be the same offer for less demand... No?

The paper investigates the transmission of the virus from symptomatic individuals to others. That doesn't necessarily mean everyone should wear a mask; just that those infected with the virus should. It still might make sense for the general uninfected populace not to overbuy masks so that there isn't a shortage in hospitals.

I would love to see a study that investigates whether the general populace wearing masks in addition to practicing proper social distancing and strict hygiene significantly inhibits the spread of the virus compared to not wearing the masks, and whether that's worth putting a bigger strain on the supply of masks to hospitals.

Until then, you should probably stay at home, wash your hands, don't touch your face, and if you like, make your own cloth masks or wear a bandana or scarf so as not to put medical professionals at any more risk than they actually are.

3

keepsake4 6 hs ago

Although it is obvious from the title, this is only about exhaled breath. So this says nothing about whether you can get the virus from breathing in infected air (which of course you can). A study sampling viral particle count during inhalation would be more complex.

Just mentioning that, since most of the comments here are discussing mask use in general.

3

WeaverMom 5 hs ago

Since asymptomatic or presymtomatic carriers can shed the virus without knowing they are sick, if everyone wore masks, it would reduce infections from those carriers.

4

malaakh_hamaweth 6 hs ago

Yep. This paper makes a very strong case for _infected individuals_ to wear any kind of mask, But the jury is still out whether it's worth putting a strain on hospital mask supply for the general populace to buy and wear surgical masks. I imagine that making your own masks might be a good solution for now until the experts are more confident about whether everyone should wear a mask.

Except when that thing becomes warm ~~and damp~~, a favorite environment for ~~viruses~~ *CoV and ILI (influenza-like illnesses)*. And especially when that thing stopping *some* droplets starts letting folks *think* "I'm protected now! Thank God I don't have to distance myself from others." Which is exactly why the CDC still hasn't changed their guidelines to include mask use for the general public; they are only considering it, and are weighing the small benefit against the potential for serious harm.

TormentedPengu 5 hs ago

this virus likes warm and dry.. Also masks need to be changed out. but at this point. anything that stops moisture content to any degree and things that stop you from touching your face is better than nothing.

2

NotASwearwolf 5 hs ago

> Also masks need to be changed out This is part of my problem with the general population using masks. To be effective, they need to be used properly. Medical professionals have processes and must follow best practices. The general population doesn't. People already reuse single-use masks. People already adjust their masks, touching their faces. People already feel that a mask is enough to not adhere to social distancing. People are much less likely to properly use masks than medical professionals, which makes the use of those masks more dangerous than not. This is, to my understanding, largely why the CDC hasn't added mask use to general guidelines. >this virus likes ... dry I can't find anything specific to CoV, but it seems influenza strains don't like moist. I will change that part, but will wait for specific data to say anything specific. Thanks for the correction.

General public isn't going to have full PPE, the argument is that a mask is better than no mask and the data proves it, but you have classic ignorant people saying "oh well you can still get it through your eyes". Yes. Yes you can, but the main way people are getting it is through your mouth and nose, which a mask will be effective enough to warrant wearing.

5

MsStarstruck 1 h ago

What most people don’t seem to grasp is that normal surgical mask don’t prevent you from being infected but they prevent others from being infected by yourself. That’s why such masks are effective. Unless you have FFP3 masks, they also protect you from infection.

3

Aze403 1 h ago

I'll agree that masks are definitely effective for preventing the spread, but what you're missing along with a lot of others is that masks are an effective way to protect against being infected (yes, even surgical masks). See here (2007 study on SARS-1): http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/cbn/2007/cbnreport_02152007.html

Literally every virologist and epidemiologist I have seen on local TV thinks differently though. They all agree that surgical masks do not prevent from infection. This study seems to stand very alone in the field of expertise.

1

Aze403 23 mins ago

There are a lot more. The ones on tv have been told to advocate against masks for the general public to prevent the general public from acquiring all the masks before the hospitals can secure their own stockpiles. Have you been keeping up to date with how the narrative has been changing here in Western countries? People are literally making / knitting their own masks now. A surgical mask is more effective than a cloth mask, but the government is now telling people to make their own. CDC today has slowly come out of the closet and said masks do work and people can wear them. I'll ask you to look up the graphs on Asian countries that practice general public mask wearing and see how their charts differ from that of ours.

1

MsStarstruck 18 mins ago

Well, I can’t speak to that since I’m from Europe and our government just made it mandatory to wear face masks starting on Monday. We can get surgical masks for free at local super markets, but all sorts of face masks are allowed, also the self knitted ones. Still, even the chancellor stresses that they do not prevent from being infected but are a measure to prevent others. Politics and scientists all say the same and some of them are very renowned scientists definitely not paid to spread fake news.

1

Commandmanda 4 hs ago

Mmm. Not discounting the mask-wearing. Everyone should wear a mask. BUT...the vast majority of people do not know how to wear a mask safely. I think Dr. Fauchy (sic?) should go on the news to instruct everyone on how to don a mask, not to touch the field, and how to doff it safely. It'd save a lot of lives.

2

Aze403 4 hs ago

Agreed. Educating Western countries on how to wear masks should have been done a while ago. Fauci said on Tuesday that yes that have been taking a lesser stance on masks until this point because they didn't want people to take supplies away from hospitals, but now that the US is ramping mask production up they will be giving instructions to the general public soon.

Cool alternating caps, they sure make a strong argument. As for the actual paper, this is weak reinforcement of WHO argument (masks are efficient for the sick).. A mask didn't significantly block exhaled droplets of corona, but I think that's because the data is so small.

Do you even understand your own words? You and every other sheep out there that thinks "masks aren't effective" can never say outright that masks do absolutely nothing, which is the entire fucking point. Just because mask don't block 100% doesn't mean it isn't effective.

I said something along the lines of Koreans going through similar things in the beginning, trying to secure masks for its people. But too many masks were bid by a big neighbor next door. Yes, they did testings well and other things too- but they also emphasized how not wearing the mask could lead to transmission in a matter of minutes (like sharing a breathing space and even talking to people). It's time to stop using 'we are a giant country' as an excuse to deny people adequate safety.

The same thing will happen with 3M.

Another limitation is that we did not confirm the infectivity of coronavirus or rhinovirus detected in exhaled breath. While the G-II was designed to preserve viability of viruses in aerosols, and in the present study we were able to identify infectious influenza virus in aerosols, we did not attempt to culture coronavirus or rhinovirus from the corresponding aerosol samples.

(coronavirus, n=17; influenza virus, n=43; rhinovirus, n=54) It's possibly sample size bias. Either way, it clearly helps. Advice for a long time has been that infected individuals should wear a mask. This supports that policy.

calibas - @calibas 8 hs ago

Why is virus transmission via aerosol such a controversial thing? When you cough, microscopic water drops get suspend in the air and studies have proven other strains of coronavirus can survive in these particles, especially in office conditions.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32226116

And there's at least one study that found healthcare workers are at higher risk of infection during medical procedures that create aerosols.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3338532/

Perhaps it's some human bias and we dread the idea that simply sharing the same atmosphere puts us at risk?

This could be something very positive actually, and lead to rapid non-invasive testing. Imagine virus testing as part of the air filters on planes and cruise ships, could be a very powerful tool for preventing outbreaks.

ravenstine - @ravenstine 8 hs ago

This is why people need to learn to listen to their intuition and their common sense instead of losing out to the tyranny of the experts during critical situations.

I don't care if the experts don't want a run on masks. Anyone of modest intelligence knows that paper with little holes in it impedes the movement of air and droplets. Even if a mask is poorly sealed, surely it does something for both the infected and the uninfected, yet we've allowed the authorities, the experts, to gaslight us into accepting that the sky is blue so that they could augment their supply with masks intended to be sold to civilians. Under normal circumstances, individuals can afford to wait for evidence and listen to it. Now there are people who are going to die because they trusted the idea that they shouldn't wear a harmless piece of paper.

If they didn't want a run on masks, they should have chosen to say something other than an insult to our intelligence, and then backtrack. And if you don't believe that the CDC, WHO, journalism outlets, were begging people to not wear masks back in February, I have to wonder what rock you've been living under.

Just to be clear, they are talking about surgical-type masks, similar to the cloth masks people are making.

They are NOT talking about N95 "masks". There is constant confusion in the press and elsewhere between these two.

One protects others (surgical mask), and one protects others AND the wearer (N95).

Vox proposed that we call N95s by their technical term, "respirators", and other masks "masks", but then I suppose people will start confusing "respirators" and "ventilators"

beeforpork - @beeforpork 8 hs ago

One thing in this study I find totally surprising is this: how can aerosol from different virus classes be differently contagious when passing through a mask? They seemed to have measured that, but it would really be very interesting to get an explanation how this is possible. How does a mask filter the contagion from corona aerosol, but not from rhino aerosol. This is totally perplexing to me.

chucklenorris - @chucklenorris 9 hs ago

something that i don't fully understand - as a healthy person does wearing a mask has any effect? or the masks work only for reducing the chance of transmitting the virus if already infected?

You are really fucked in a head, seriously trying to blame your egoism and being self-centered asshole on Hawaiian culture? Had you cared about others, you would have stayed home. >You will deny our lifestyle. Virus does not care that you absolutely have to surf during global pandemic. Hawaii has active stay at home order, which means morons like you have to stay home.

Outdoor exercise is allowed! You missed that fine print. No, I blame nothing on the Hawaiian culture. I highlighted only the positives. Again, you keep arguing with me on the individual level but in the beginning you kept saying “your kind.” You’re making the fatal mistake that I’m the only one. I surf with friends family from all walks of life, the groms just learning to surf to my elders who complain about the music I listen to. Had your kind cared about others, we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with. So, are you going to sit here complaining to me about things you can’t control or will you actively try to do something about it? I don’t think you will. If you had anything better to do, you’d do it. I already surfed today. So I’m good.

So the police expose themselves to the dude, risk catching coronavirus from the dude, took dude to a police station to get him around more people and then sent him home. Idiots.

Looks like these lifeguards and cops are Reddit users, parroting the stupid "YOU MUST STAY LOCKED INSIDE YOUR HOUSE" retarded was, because they have no idea what social distancing is, or what it's trying to prevent.

Anyone agreeing with these lifeguards is a next level handitard

Glad we could get this this violent criminal off the streets (well water in this case) where he could be taken to an enclosed building with other criminals and the staff, to book him.

We should just put a law on the books and call it what it is: we are fining people for insubordination now.

" Kim Prather, who works at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told the Los Angeles Times that the beach could be one of the most dangerous places in California amid the outbreak. She said she fears the virus is being washed into the ocean and transferred back into the air along the coast "

I hope she's in charge of the coffee station because no sane person working that that institution should espouse such silly ideas.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's stay at home order, a misdemeanor.

He was booked at the sheriff's station in Calabasas before being released with a notice to appear in court, deputies said.

Officials did not release any identifying information on the man. He could face a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail, or both.

I'm all for punishing others for putting others in danger but this right here puts more people at risk than is worth it for punishment.

It does the opposite of what was intended and makes people contact others more than what the guilty party did.

Let's break this down

Local news story, so it was probably written by an idiot or an intern who doesn't care.
Even though it's not accurate, let's assume it was.
So the solution to someone we fear having COVID19, is to arrest him and transport him so he is now exposed to dozens of people. Good move.
You are really worried about it in the ocean??? You have any clue how much contaminated waste we dump into the ocean that is infected??

What is the fucking logic there???

Viruses need living host, being in the ocean reduces that vs being in the air.

I’m pretty sure it’s cause the beaches are closed, not because he wasn’t social distancing. Nice clickbait though.

I’m sure this man didn’t see a single soul until he got arrested, but that’s not quite the problem here. The problem is when you start breaking the rules to do things alone, with nobody around, eventually others start doing things alone until all of a sudden you’re all doing things together; and spreading disease.

Wat? Kim Prather is an idiot.

Evidently so. Else everyone would be required to filter wastewater before draining it.

The title is misleading in an attempt to bait us.

There was a "Stay at Home" order, all beaches were closed.

Lifeguards approached the paddleboarder multiple times asking him to leave and he refused. Deputies were called to remove him.

I mean I get that they were alone, but if you drown and need saving then you are potentially exposing the lifeguard and EMTs for no real reason other than you couldn't just take a walk
