Pre A/C.........schools and other public buildings in both the north and south were built with HIGH ceilings - because hot air rises. The cooler air then rolls in through the open doors or lower windows of the building. Florida and Arizona used "swamp coolers" which were evaporation coolers - somewhat effective.

This just in, boys and girls. Bank of America has reported that the delta variant, as predicted, has peaked. Like the UK, the descent will most likely be rapid. So, you can take those masks off in church, while shopping, and walking around the block. But, mark my word, there will be another scare tactic soon --another variant or calling the flu Covid.

"swamp coolers" are never used in Flordia due to high humidity.

I might believe B of A about an upcoming recession or an increase nationwide in bad debts - but I would prefer to get medical predictions from REAL medical professionals. 97% of all medical Doctors are fully vaccinated. All the Doctors on TV programs that I trust say that the winter could be worse than today for CV. I will base MY risk calculations on that information. One national expert said that CV could be a problem for the next FIVE YEARS! Dr. Hotez, a pediatric expert, from Baylor Univ. states that he believes that ALL schools in the US will have to shut their doors before next summer due to spikes in CV in schools. Those are the predictions that I am hearing.

England has a total of 85% citizens protected when you combine the % with post CV antibodies and are fully vaccinated. Both young and old in England are smart enough to get vaccinated. It is logical that England's graphs of hospitalization and Deaths may have dropped downward. The US is SIGNIFICANTLY different than England in that young Americans are NOT willing to put COUNTRY before SELF. There are at least 2 psychological reasons for young Americans acting more selfish than people from England. One is the romanticized idea of the "rugged individual" from a leftover "frontier mentality". The other is the "greed is good" concept that started around the 80s in the US.

You may want to check the trajectory in the UK over the past three weeks or so.

UK 7-day average Covid cases peaked July 21st and declined 45% the following 13 days. That's the latest stat I have. If Bill14564 has something else to share, please just spit it ut instead of implying that I'm full of crap. Thanks.

Look at the JHU COVID Tracking page.

They did have a significant decline but then it leveled out (at least according to JHU)

I assumed that by now everyone was familiar with the JHU, WaPo, NYT, and CDC tracking pages.

Hopefully, the UK begins to decline again. Hopefully, we begin to decline. Hopefully, people will get vaccinated. There is a lot to hope for.

Can’t really disagree with you! I can’t say what I really want to say because I afraid TOTV wouldn’t like it. But I don’t doubt Honest Abe!

Getting a meaningful answer is like measuring clouds or picking fly specs out of pepper!

You wouldn’t want to wear an N95 mask for long.
 

People buy an N95 labeled mask and think they are so much better than cloth masks. Reality is that N95 masks have to be fit-tested to make then much more superior than any other type of masks. That means the mask has to fit you such that very, very small particles cannot leak past the mask. Which means that if you were actually wearing a properly fitted N95 mask, you wouldn’t want to be wearing it for long. A mask is better than no mask.
