I agree. But, not trying to demonize...just playing forum "tennis"... you know that game. I wear a mask when I go out now. Not in my car or if I'm far enough away from others. Definitely in shops and pedestrian bottlenecks. It's easy. Although it fogs my glasses and makes my beard itch. That is why in my earlier post I added the quote (below) from the article I linked (worth reading btw):The Dudes Who Won’t Wear Maskshttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/dudes-who-wont-wear-masks/613375/?fbclid=IwAR0Tn4cwwmu9BGPKbo07AMb80bPVFXXGUuK-j9hpi1YgFbwvFacyO2Ls73c "...But trying to shame people into wearing masks will only cement their resistance—and perhaps even drive them to socialize behind closed doors, where being unmasked is higher risk. Public health works best when it recognizes and supports people’s needs and desires without judgment. If Americans do this right, Huff might even find that his wearing a mask is the very thing that makes those checkout ladies smile." Note: that last part of the quote ^ was not in my original post, but it fits right in with fforest's gloating post about going into a shop w/o a mask.

Italy sewage study suggests COVID-19 was there in December 2019 Coronavirus traces have been discovered in wastewater collected from Italy in December 2019, weeks before China reported its first cases. The Italian National Institute of Health looked at 40 sewage samples collected from wastewater treatment plants in northern Italy between October 2019 and February 2020. An analysis released on Thursday said samples taken in Milan and Turin on December 18 showed the presence of the SARS-Cov-2 virus. https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/global/italy-sewage-study-suggests-covid19-was-there-in-december-2019/news-story/2fd865f7b12a33698f3e9ab2f15a35e3 Coronavirus: Virus ‘found’ in March 2019 Spain sewage Authorities testing sewer water in Spain discovered traces of COVID-19 dating back well before the pandemic broke out in China. Spanish virologists have found traces of coronavirus in a sample of Barcelona sewer water collected in March 2019, nine months before the disease was identified in China. The University of Barcelona said the discovery of the virus genome so early in Spain, if confirmed, would imply COVID-19 may have appeared much earlier than thought. Researchers had been testing waste water since mid-April this year to identify potential new outbreaks, when they decided to also run tests on older samples. They first found the virus was present in Barcelona on January 15, 2020, 41 days before the first case was officially reported there. Then they ran tests on samples taken between January 2018 and December 2019 and found the presence of the virus genome in one of them, collected on March 12, 2019. “The levels of SARS-CoV-2 were low but were positive,” research leader Albert Bosch was quoted as saying by the university. The research has been submitted for a peer review. Dr Joan Ramon Villalbi of the Spanish Society for Public Health and Sanitary Administration told Reuters it was still early to draw definitive conclusions. “When it’s just one result, you always want more data, more studies, more samples to confirm it and rule out a laboratory error or a methodological problem,” he said. There was the potential for a false positive due to the virus’ similarities with other respiratory infections. “But it’s definitely interesting, it’s suggestive,” Villalbi said. Mr Bosch, who is president of the Spanish Society of Virologists, said that an early detection even in January could have improved the response to the pandemic. Instead, patients were probably misdiagnosed with common flu, contributing to community transmission before measures were taken. Professor Gertjan Medema of the KWR Water Research Institute in the Netherlands, whose team began using a coronavirus test on waste water in February, suggested the Barcelona group needs to repeat the tests to confirm it is really the SARS- CoV-2 virus. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/coronavirus-virus-found-in-march-2019-spain-sewage/news-story/313ed779e76e630aec1626a6c80aa7c4 Edited June 27, 2020 by fygjam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
