Now that you bring it up, has anyone else had stair, curb issues because of peripheral vision loss.

You work with Joe Biden?

That must be a fairly common tactic. Sounds exactly like the facilities she is in.

Thank you.

Yw. It has been done this way in 6 hospitals I’ve been in. I would consider this common practice.

Sorry, I have not seen any evidence of this is medical literature.

PCOS seems to be more and more common. A majority of women(that I know) my age have it to some degree. Maybe it's better discovery but its odd. They've all gotten the HPV vax and said issues sprouted after the shot. I'm 33, btw.

Migrant Child Coronavirus Outbreak: Whistleblowers say they were Told to Downplay Infections at Fort Bliss

Whistleblowers allege extent of outbreak was kept under wraps

Two federal whistleblowers are alleging that Department of Health and Human Services instructed them to downplay a coronavirus outbreak amongst migrant children being housed at a facility in Fort Bliss, Texas, earlier this year, according to a complaint filed Wednesday.

The complaint, which was sent to four Congressional committees and government watchdogs, was filed by the nonprofit Government Accountability Project on behalf of Arthur Pearlstein and Lauren Reinhold – who they say are "career federal civil servants" and "whistleblowers" who "served as volunteer detailees at the Fort Bliss Emergency Intake Site from April through June 2021."

"COVID was widespread among children and eventually spread to many employees. Hundreds of children contracted COVID in the overcrowded conditions," the complaint says. "Adequate masks were not consistently provided to children, nor was their use consistently enforced."

The complaint added that "regularly, when detailees reached the end of their term, a sheet was passed around with detailed instructions from the HHS Public Affairs Office on how, when asked, to make everything sound positive about the Fort Bliss experience and to play down anything negative."

The complaint also said "every effort was made to downplay the degree of COVID infection at the site, and the size of the outbreak was deliberately kept under wraps."

You have to follow the science to flatten the curve.

 

[hUTch2002]

Who is arguing that wearing a cloth mask offers YOU ironclad protection? The primary purpose is to limit the spread of large droplets containing large amounts of coronavirus from a potentially asymptomatic YOU. If we ALL do that, we can limit the spread for the simple reason that a good chunk of the virus is being retained in the mask and the space between your mug and the mask, or at least not traveling as far away from you as it would without a mask. This is not hard. But it does require our freedumb loving brethren to actually be civically minded for once instead of being selfish a-holes.

Ah, but masks have been pushed as if they STOP the virus from spreading and that’s not remotely true.

 

[hUTch2002]

On matters of public health, it is beneficial to have a compliant population who will actually listen and do what public health experts say. Instead, we got a bunch of toddlers who effectively say "That's not what I WANNA do. It's no fun for ME to wear a mask/socially distance."

Except plenty of places in the US did those things and still had the same results as the places that didn’t do those things. How can you not see that? Do I need to tweet it to you?

 

[hUTch2002]

Sorry for the insults, but it's frustrating when the solutions are so simple and the opposition to those solutions is so stupid and pigheaded.

You must be talking to your POTUS then too. Hours after mandating masks on federal property he is running around without one. Of course that was ok because he was “celebrating”. You’ve been snowed.

 

[hUTch2002]

I've come to the conclusion that too many trumpers live in a black and white world, there's no room for discernment or shades of gray. My belief is that it takes too much effort on their part to make distinctions, see subtlety or nuance.

Masks obviously work as a knockdown barrier from slinging expelled germs via saliva or exhalation. The physics offer an undebatable proof as evidenced by the fact that no surgeon would consider doing surgery in a first world operating theater without one. For some one to suggest that since it's not bullet proof it's not worth the effort is galactically stupid.

You equating masks during surgery to masks trying to stop or even slow a virus is way beyond “galactically stupid”.

Yeah, but you're talking pro baseball, only three people care and two are watching re-runs of pro basketball.

Masks, together with personal hygiene and social distancing work to slow the spread. No one has said all or any of those STOPS it. Literally no one.

And you've proven my point that you've refused to take a moment to discern the distinction, subtlety or nuance. It's clearly easier to you to foist a hyperbolic argument than to accept that there are measures that can be taken by society to help prevent the spread.

Sorry, I'm invoking the appeal to authority since the prevailing peer reviewed science explicitly indicates that source control is a thing (even for a virus.)

Mask Up to Slow Down SARS-CoV-2

Since you brought it up (and several of my friends are surgeons), try looking up the peer-reviewed evidence on surgical wound infections and masks. Turns out, they function only to keep nasty ish off the surgeons' faces.

One of my best friends is an OB/GYN and he'd probably agree, but he also doesn't realize that he spits when he talks.
