RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
'Airborne' is not always understood.
Modes of transmission of virus causing COVID-19: implications for IPC precaution recommendations
Scientific brief
29 March 2020
This version updates the 27 March publication by providing definitions of droplets by particle size and adding three relevant publications.
Modes of transmission of the COVID-19 virus
Respiratory infections can be transmitted through droplets of different sizes: when the droplet particles are >5-10 ?m in diameter they are referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then are <5?m in diameter, they are referred to as droplet nuclei.1 According to current evidence, COVID-19 virus is primarily transmitted between people through respiratory droplets and contact routes.2-7 In an analysis of 75,465 COVID-19 cases in China, airborne transmission was not reported.8
Droplet transmission occurs when a person is in in close contact (within 1 m) with someone who has respiratory symptoms (e.g., coughing or sneezing) and is therefore at risk of having his/her mucosae (mouth and nose) or conjunctiva (eyes) exposed to potentially infective respiratory droplets. Transmission may also occur through fomites in the immediate environment around the infected person.8 Therefore, transmission of the COVID-19 virus can occur by direct contact with infected people and indirect contact with surfaces in the immediate environment or with objects used on the infected person (e.g., stethoscope or thermometer).
Airborne transmission is different from droplet transmission as it refers to the presence of microbes within droplet nuclei, which are generally considered to be particles <5?m in diameter, can remain in the air for long periods of time and be transmitted to others over distances greater than 1 m.
In the context of COVID-19, airborne transmission may be possible in specific circumstances and settings in which procedures or support treatments that generate aerosols are performed; i.e., endotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy, open suctioning, administration of nebulized treatment, manual ventilation before intubation, turning the patient to the prone position, disconnecting the patient from the ventilator, non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation, tracheostomy, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
I guess I'm not sure what my point was.
And, that may be very understandable. Considering: 1) you are an EMT, under a lot of stress (as is everyone in the country right now), 2) you are dealing with a large variety of medical issues, 3) right now your area seems to be only mildly hit with the virus, and 4) you seem justly concerned about the health and welfare of people.
Our current pandemic is not the flu, as you acknowledge; and is/should not be treated as such. And yes, every season our country goes through a 'flu season'. So, that is not new.
With all that said, this forum is for the Virus pandemic news, updates, and discussions. If you feel a new thread needs to be started on the topic of the flu that is fine. :)

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
U.S. health officials consider face masks for Americans to slow coronavirus, but 'not there yet'
As of an hour ago....
Should we all be wearing masks? That simple question is under review by officials in the U.S. government and has sparked a grass-roots pro-mask movement. But there’s still no consensus on whether widespread use of facial coverings would make a significant difference, and some infectious disease experts worry that masks could lull people into a false sense of security and make them less disciplined about social distancing.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
Regarding the silver discussion:
FDA Action/reaction:
Manufacturers of colloidal silver products often claim that they are cure-alls, boosting your immune system, fighting bacteria and viruses, and treating cancer, HIV/AIDS, shingles, herpes, eye ailments and prostatitis.
However, no sound scientific studies to evaluate these health claims have been published in reputable medical journals. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has taken action against some manufacturers of colloidal silver products for making unproven health claims.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
General Announcement:
For a while we were diverting posts from RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions because too many threads were focusing on the virus as opposed to the appropriate topics for that forum as described here:
RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions
Pick or pass - Post your opinions on campgrounds, parks, resorts, attractions, and places to go.
Considering closing and opening of campgrounds, due to the pandemic, is a legitimate topic we would like you to post that info there. If discussion gets off topic, focused solely on the virus, and/or political we will move them back to ACT.
Thank you.

RE: Who can be the last poster?
The problem is, some people have nothing better to do than try to be the last poster.
It is a simple/harmless game and may provide a brief moment of levity at a time it is needed. Hardly something to criticize some one on. :(

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
In the news today, MSN for one.
Some people just have no morals at all:
"Actor Keith Middlebrook arrested by FBI for allegedly peddling bogus coronavirus cure.
Federal agents on Wednesday arrested a Southern California man who allegedly claimed to have a cure for the coronavirus and was selling the fake antidote using Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s name as a ruse to lure investors.
Middlebrook, who held small-time uncredited roles in “Iron Man 3,” “Thor” and “Moneyball,” delivered pills to a federal agent posing as a potential investor after he allegedly claimed to have personally developed a “patent-pending cure” for COVID-19, the global pandemic that has since ravaged the world, the agency said in a statement released Wednesday."
This is being posted as a 'warning' to not be taken in by false claims/cures, etc.

RE: Stimulus Package
'Just a 'heads up'. This thread is on thin ice as it borders on political. As long as the discussion centers on the various provisions of the package related primarily how the provisions may help us through this crisis we will try to keep it open; for information's sake. If it turns into a discussion involving partisan politics we will take it down.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
this is how it stands if we don't slow the spread and the rate remains unchanged
And, with the accelerated research/testing it's so important we are optimistic the results will slow the spread/rate and the numbers don't continue as the chart shows.
And, following the current health guidelines on how to behave in public/private remain so important for everyone.
