Here is a quote from the man responsible for the eradication of smallpox. He died a few years ago, so he was speaking generally, not in regard to our current situation. Very prescient.
Donald A. Henderson, MD… “ The interest in quarantine reflects the views and conditions prevalent more than 50 years ago, when much less was known about the epidemiology of infectious diseases and when there was far less international and domestic travel in a less densely populated world. It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration.” - Disease Mitigation Measures in the Control of Pandemic Influenza (2006) |

How many people were not able to go to the DR and get diagnosed for something that was brewing. How many families were destroyed due to money problems caused by the shutdown. No easy or simple answer. |

So much information. Mostly different. What to believe? Just be careful out there.

Virus life on Surfaces
Quote:
Here is an outstanding question posed on the Washington Post site: """We have been told not to be concerned by potential food contamination--what we eat goes into the stomach acid and is killed. But food passes through the mouth. What is the difference between contaminated fingers in the mouth (might catch the virus) and contaminated food in the mouth (won't catch the virus)?""" """ if the face, mouth, nose or eyes are touched by contaminated hands, how is the virus able to get into the lungs? """ I wonder if anyone has an answer for this ? |

There is an exposure time element also, you need to enhale enough virus to initiate an infection. I'm wondering is this variability could be why some people don't get very sick vs very sick.. e.g. short exposure time results in more or less a self vaccination... |

I agree it doesn't make sense that eating food is never risky but touching your mouth is. As for the eyes, here's an excellent article that downplays the risk to the eyes. Can You Catch Coronavirus Through The Eyes? Will Goggles Reduce The Risk? : Goats and Soda : NPR

[QUOTE=LiverpoolWalrus;1771188]These are good questions. I could not find anything on the internet that identifies inhalation only. Has anyone been able to find anything that pinpoints inhalation only?
/QUOTE] It seems logical that it is only transmitted thru inhalation. In the beginning, i thought it was transferred by touch, then into your mouth,nose or eyes. The referenced PBS articles says """But to infect you via your eyes, the virus would have to penetrate your eyes' mucous membrane, be washed by tears behind your cheeks into your nasal cavity, and then flow from the nose into your throat. "It's a more circuitous route," says Steinemann.""" Huh?, Into your throat... so just swallow. So, do i still need to leave my Amazon packages in the garage for a week before i touch them. Do i still need to unpack my groceries in the garage and wipe them down with clorox wipes? Something is missing, but i can't figure it out. Can that little germ crawl down my windpipe if i don't swallow fast enough? Last edited by capecoralbill; 05-26-2020 at 05:38 PM. |

AND believe. They are lacking context and some are just not true. Not noted in this post is that Rockefeller Univ has disowned his statements, and that YouTube issued clear statements on why the video was taken down.. I offer no oipinion because I know nothing about the medical field, but each post, including those ipuntrue are investigated by me and if you follow closely....there is an overriding motivation for this stuff, and it is not based on the Corona Virus, but on a subject we cannot discuss on this forum. All can certainly have an opinion, but be honest about the motivation and source of information. Frankly, there have been a few very false claims about Dr Fauci for example on this forum, and again let the P arena out of this. There are things that can be discussed, and hopefully WILL be discussed once our country hopefully rebounds from this thing. Usually, in our country, when we are under duress we gather together to solidify our resolve to fight whatever the foe might be. In this case, we are being forced to pick sides for all the wrong reasons. |
