Covid virus in phoenix (properties, careers, directions)

So transmission rarely happens "airborne" (aerosols) or by touching contaminated surfaces. Show me an outbreak or concentration of COVID transmission and it is going to happen indoors. So that science is in but the message hasn't been modified which is a shame. Yes, as a whole, COIVD is overblown.

Realize when you think you are all alone at Lowes and I want to come down the isle, I might turn around and wait. When it is the store policy and law, I consider someone an uneducated and selfish dick. Yes, that stare was intentional. And while we are at it, I predict employees don't appreciate your flawed logic. Don't shoot the messenger.

Luckily for me, I have N95's. So statistically speaking, my fitted masks should protect me from people who inaccurately assume they understand the science. What is obvious is that masks (even crappy ones) knock down a lot of the droplets reducing the total load. My properly fitted N95's knock down 95% of submicron (below a millionth of a meter) particles.

So here you go. Watch it and learn. If you get the virus, you will be part of the problem at Lowes or Cicle K.

In short, restaurants are allowed to dodge a mask to keep them in business. It's called risk mitigation. So when you are eating at a table inside, there is a risk. But so long as the infection rate is below 1.0 and people are fairly vigilant in other environments, I get why the rules were waived. It's why I want to eat outdoors and I still wear masks while I wait for my food (reducing the droplets of people breathing and talking closeby). Remember, it's the total load that matters.

You keep talking about droplets. If I'm not coughing, sneezing, or talking - where are these droplets coming from?

Oh man, I needed this laugh. Thank you! Hint, can you fog a mirror? And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

I assume you also breathe from time to time?

Surprise, you're back on the forum. Must be another hard day at work for you.

WTF do you think I'm doing? Do you think I'm going around asking people if my breath smells bad? I said if I'm at Lowe's in an aisle by myself, I take my mask off. I said nothing about breathing on people. I obviously put my mask on if I'm by people.

Pretty light one, so thanks again for the humor!

The cases are not rising.

"It’s because of results from a newly approved diagnostic test. Included in today’s update – and updates for the next several days – are results from tests done over the past few months. According to AZDHS, the Food and Drug Administration approved a fourth antigen test for diagnosing COVID-19. Antigen tests are not the same as antibody tests, which require a blood draw."

I seriously hate it when this do this. Let's just throw in numbers from 3 months back.

Thanks for that. It looked really strange that numbers in the state were up 1800 but Maricopa County was only 300 for the day. MC is usually about 3/4ths of the total.

Logik harrd

Another stupid analogy of yours...you can't protect yourself from someone else texting and driving. You can certainly protect yourself from covid and others who don't wear masks. Wear a mask yourself, social distance, wash your hands, don't touch your face, etc.

I'm going to move on since several of you won't have a rational discussion on the issue.

Heck, I support wearing masks and wear a mask every day even when not at work. I'm not advocating for not wearing masks.
