CDC has slightly revised their advice as it seems to be less likely than originally thought, that you can catch this from contact with exposed surfaces. They're no longer saying that you need to disinfect grocery or other packaging (but I still will for things I take to my mom who is immunocompromised due to chemo for her cancer).
..

People are so illogical and ignorant of anything even remotely techical. I blame the schools! ;)
Indeed @J Sigmo

There are some players on our team I would be happy to trade to the other side or bench to limit damage to the team.

With the incorrect advice from various institutions and government agencies and managers early on - I no longer fully trust them at all.

As they originally stated that masks were more harmful to people, and now that the evidence has been clearly and repeated demonstrated that masks work - I have so much less trust in those that should have been more accurate that a few youtube channels ( MedCram, Dr. John Campbell, Peak Prosperity, .. )

Thus:

I still plan to clean surfaces / goods and foods which come from non-clean zones.

I highly encourage everyone to keep up with their cleaning and hygiene.

I suspect the reason they are now down playing the surfaces issues is not for my benefit. I probably will never want to set foot in a public bathroom anymore...

The recent article from the Washington Post by Kevin Powell would definitely have you thinking so...
Quoted verbatim:
"Pandemonium ensues as she walks to the far left of the stage, like a runway supermodel, stops on a dime, poses, tilts her head slightly and smiles...Camera flashes explode...Abrams is summoning her inner actress, and she is both enjoying the moment and getting through it to get to the conversation"

Great news from Korea ( Thanks to J Sigmo noting this earlier )

Executive summary: Korea re-tested some who had SARS-Cov-19 after recovery and they re-tested positive. Turns out the test detected RNA fragments from the virus and the people were not infectious!

This is great news.

"After several reports of COVID 19 reinfections or "re-positives" (a positive test, followed by a negative test, followed by a positive test), there have been lingering questions: Does a COVID-19 infection provide immunity? Is it possible to get the new coronavirus twice? New data from the Korean CDC sheds light on this question and Dr. Seheult illustrates how RT-PCR COVID-19 testing works and what may be happening when a person appears to be reinfected. Also, the first SARS-CoV-2 antigen test has been approved by the FDA. (This video was recorded on May 20, 2020)"

the Jon Stewart skit was good to recall

Let me make certain I understand this clearly.

A couple of months after his son baron is born Trump fucks a porn star and then pays her $130,000 in hush money immediately before the election...and this is what you want to bring to light? Really...in addition to the other Trump sexual misconduct allegations on record?

Next you'll be bringing up Bill Clinton's blowjob no doubt.

I want it to protect ME ---- exactly what I was alluding to. Valved masks protect only yourself and basically say "FU** YOU" to everyone else around you.

We're currently dropping in number of patients in this wave. We'll see how things are 6 weeks from now, but it is nice to see things simmering down.

The MacGyver PPE Team that has been building and distributing my BunnyPAPR is taking part in the UCSF COVID-19 Hackathon. They sent me a script and put this together for their kickoff video.

American selfish behavior appears to be trending Guy.

As I drive my vehicle I see signs people put up thanking our "healthcare heroes." You are one such hero Guy. Thank you.

You must not have any N95 masks. When I wear a mask, I want it to protect ME, and be somewhat comfortable.
The mask effort is to reduce overall spread. For every known case there are 10 asymptomatic or subclinical cases. We protect ourselves by protecting each other.

You made such a big deal about it but you miss the whole portrait. Yeah both guys have a thing for Women (But Biden, it also appears little girls). In Trumps case I can guarantee you that a lot of those women are fabricating things to collect money from a celebrity. Hasn't Mick Jagger slept with over 1000 women?

But the issue here is the one sidedness of the Left when it comes to sexual allegations. Kavanaugh as a teenager is supposedly accused of laying on a girl during a high school party with no factual evidence, Biden is accused of penetrating a woman, uninvited, with his finger, and there appears to be more factual evidence. Where are the screaming feminist banshees that were at the Kavanaugh trial, or all the media hype from CNN, MSNBC on this?
