I heard about a workaround for the elastic bands on face masks. They are currently "out of stock" in most stores in the U.S. The workaround is to use self adherent wrap (sport) tape and cut it in long (1/4") strips.

Here we have a state government making major policy decisions that can devastate people's lives, and they won't allow the public the see the data behind those policy decisions. Is it any wonder that people think there's phony manipulation going on? When all the dust settles from this event, I think there will be a considerable loss of trust in the public health establishment, making it that much harder to deal with future threats.

State refuses to let public see local virus spread model

For the past few weeks, state health department officials have been working with an expert task force of physicians, researchers and mathematicians from local universities, to try to predict how the novel coronavirus spreading across the world might progress locally.

The group of specialists provided three reports to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as of the end of last week, and Gov. Jared Polis presented some of the findings of the experts during a press conference Friday, March 27. Polis relayed some stark estimates during the press conference, with possible COVID-19 deaths in Colorado ranging from 900 to 33,200.

But CDPHE has so far refused to make public what the experts from the University of Colorado School of Public Health, School of Medicine and the University of Colorado at Boulder provided. And the agency has given conflicting explanations for why they won’t allow the public to see it.

There is little doubt that something fishy is going on.

Good message from Queen Elizabeth. (Note that she is 93 years old.)

Boris Johnson in hospital

Quote:

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital for tests, 10 days after testing positive for coronavirus, Downing Street has said.

He was taken to a London hospital on Sunday evening with "persistent symptoms" - including a temperature.

It is said to be a "precautionary step" taken on the advice of his doctor.

The prime minister remains in charge of the government, but the foreign secretary is expected to chair a coronavirus meeting on Monday morning.

Mr Johnson is expected to stay overnight and is having what have been described as "routine tests", according to BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.

In a statement, a Downing Street spokeswoman said: "On the advice of his doctor, the prime minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests.

"This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus."

The World Health Organization produced an anemic response to this global pandemic. They passed on false information (such as this virus is not transmitted between humans). They dragged their feet in declaring it a national pandemic.

And they heavily condemned Australia for proactively stopping unrestricted travel into the country.
Apparently we are "racists" because we put the safety of our citizens over the irrational, emotionalistic "warm and fuzzies".
And we have been severely criticised for not being "A" grade virtue signallers.

We should have done what the Italians did.
Show we care,
Hug and kiss people in the street,
And join the queue to the morgue.

Sanctimonious, self-righteous, virtue signalling bulldust!

The WHO is the laughing stock of the world.
It is a puppet of the ccp.
It has no credibility, period.

Every essential worker in NYC is wearing a mask. Every store employee from what I’ve seen.

At least 3/4s of people in the streets are wearing masks.

Same in California, but don't tell that to cyberdad. He thinks non-hospital workers don't need to wear masks.

Another epic fail from cyberdad. :mrgreen:

Japan restricts travelers.I don’t blame them.Close your borders.
https://www.nippon.com/en/news/ntv20200 ... demic.html

Our Governor has not put us on lockdown.I think he should ,but according to our health department we are still below our projected curve.
However people from other states see that and want to come here.So now the Gov has closed all hotels and BnBs to tourists.

Where do you get stats for NYC only? I've got +594 deaths for NY state today, but no source for just the city.

Hydroxychloroquine: Australian government waives regulatory requirements for drug

Several anti-viral and anti-malarial drugs, which have also been touted by US president as a treatment for coronavirus, have been exempted from strict approval regime

If it turns out that Trump was right in touting Hydroxychloroquine, there are going to be a lot of red-faced democrats. :mrgreen:

Victorians are known as "Mexicans because they are down south. :wink:

Those from NSW are known as "cockroaches".
Not flattering, but it is better being a "cocky" than having to wear a sombrero, flattened or otherwise. :mrgreen:

Pepe, Cyberdad, I dont know how much of the news reports are sensationalism, but it seems like Australians are maybe still reeling from the bush fires? I seen a few stories about knives and fisty cuffs in the loo roll aisles and healthcare staff being assaulted for 'spreading the virus'.

The New Zealand government has publicly released its COVID-19 modelling, offering an invaluable insight into Australia’s own modelling so far kept from the public.

The mathematical models expose the bleak consequences of a lack of early action to curb the spread of the coronavirus, and justify Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's decision to declare a state of emergency and implement a nationwide lockdown, the NZ health ministry says. https://twitter.com/i/topics/news/e-152 ... fsrc=email
