lazarus Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Dr. Deborah Birx, the US' top C-19 doctor, is now recommending some people wear masks in their homes. "What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread. It's into the rural as equal urban areas," Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." Birx stressed that Americans need to follow health recommendations, including wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. "To everybody who lives in a rural area, you are not immune or protected from this virus," Birx said. "If you're in multi-generational households, and there's an outbreak in your rural area or in your city, you need to really consider wearing a mask at home, assuming that you're positive, if you have individuals in your households with comorbidities." "This epidemic right now is different and it's more widespread and it's both rural and urban," she added. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/02/politics/birx-coronavirus-new-phase-cnntv/index.html Edited August 2, 2020 by lazarus you can take it off for a toke though...

I was in CJ's ( a store like Tesco ) last week .. forgot my mask .. walked into the place .. no temperature monitor standing at the door , no questions, no dirty looks and there were many other people in the place with no masks .... There were red tape strips on the floor by the check out counters for social distancing that were totally ignored ... I have not heard of 1 case of the Wuhan virus down this way .... So .. I don't know ... Post it in the Thailand related to c-19 thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Butt shot!... Seems guns & being anti-mask is not a good combo... ‘Not handling the pandemic well’: Man fires at cops with AK-47 after refusing to wear a mask, police say When a cigar shop clerk told Adam Zaborowski on Friday that he had to wear a mask in the shop, the 35-year-old angrily refused. Instead, he grabbed two stogies, stormed outside — and then pulled a handgun and shot at the clerk, Bethlehem Township, Pa., police said. ...he adamantly argued that he didn’t have to wear a mask, even after a clerk offered to serve him curbside. Instead, Zaborowski pulled out a sheet of paper to point out a line in Pennsylvania state law that he insisted proved that he didn’t have to wear a mask, a witness to the scene told WFMZ. In fact, Pennsylvania, which has had more than 113,000 cases of covid-19 and more than 7,200 deaths, made masks mandatory in most locations outside of the home starting July 1... ...The next morning, police and state troopers were waiting to arrest Zaborowski outside his home in Slatington, Pa., when he hopped in a truck and drove off, police told the Express-Times. When they stopped him nearby, he jumped out of the vehicle and started firing at police with the AK-47 and a semiautomatic handgun. “Both the Slatington Borough officer and troopers returned fire and struck Zaborowski,... ...Zaborowski was hit in the buttocks and leg, Waldron said, and is expected to recover... ...He’s now charged with 22 counts including attempted homicide, aggravated assault, and robbery, police said, and is being held on $1 million bail. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/03/mask-mandatory-pennsylvania-shooting-police/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday it's just going to go away, right..?Trump Takes Aim at Dr. Deborah Birx Over Coronavirus Warning President Donald Trump took aim at White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx in a tweet Monday following a warning Birx issued over the severity of the virus’ spread. The tweet came after Birx appeared on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning and cautioned that the virus is “extraordinarily widespread” and hitting rural areas. “So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics,” Trump wrote in his tweet. “In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!” Pelosi had said Sunday that she does not have confidence in Birx because “the President is spreading disinformation about the virus and she is his appointee.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-takes-aim-at-dr-deborah-birx-over-coronavirus-warning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Woof...🐕🦺 Better hope it doesn't pee on your leg. Coronavirus-sniffing dogs dispatched at Dubai Airport https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/Coronavirus-sniffing-dogs-dubai-15454175.php In the United Arab Emirates, all arriving passengers must submit to COVID-19 testing prior to their trips and show negative results to be admitted into the country. But this week, Dubai International Airport (DXB) started using police dogs for on-airport rapid COVID-19 testing, which reportedly can produce results in minutes with 92 percent accuracy. Earlier reports of using dogs to sniff out the coronavirus proved that the concept could work in test environments, but this appears to be one of the first instances of it being put to use as a real-world solution. Dogs have also been able to sniff out several other diseases that can affect body odor such as cancer or malaria. This is great news for travelers since getting results from labs can take hours or even days in some cases, which is enough of a hassle for anyone to say no to a trip. While the dogs are only deployed in the UAE now, the concept could spread. Could it be the solution Hawaii and other tourism-dependent area are looking for to help get visitors tested quickly and easily before entering the state? Time will tell... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fygjam Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Bloody anti-maskers. Lock 'em up! Melbourne lockdown: New $5000 fine for coronavirus rule breakers A policewoman has allegedly been attacked by a woman who refused to wear a mask at a Frankston shopping centre in Melbourne’s southeast. A policewoman has allegedly had her head smashed into the ground by a Melbourne woman who refused to wear a mask. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said the 26-year-old policewoman was on patrol with her partner when they spotted the woman without a mask at Frankston’s Bayside shopping centre. He said a scuffle broke out after the woman refused to comply with police before she allegedly bashed the officers head into a concrete area on the ground. Mr Patton said the 38-year-old woman was eventually arrested and taken back to the police station where she was charged with significant offences. He said she was bailed due to no prior criminal history. “That behaviour is just totally unacceptable,” Mr Patton said. “That’s someone who thinks they’re above the law. They’re not wearing a mask, they’re approached and asked the reason why not and then to react like that is just completely over the top. “It’s this type of irresponsible behaviour that we’re going to address. It shows how things can escalate from non-adherence.” https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/melbourne-lockdown-new-5000-fine-for-coronavirus-rule-breakers/news-story/11a76a1bb30a167f58b999b6fd874d84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
