WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF

[eider]

I figured a lot of it out on my own. I spent 20 years as an HVAC tech so I understand air distribution systems. I've also read reports from the people who went into the cruise ships to decontaminate them after the passengers left and those people were scared stiff as the virus was everywhere and that made perfect sense to me. Air filters, unless a person buys the very expensive HEPA filters, have no chance of stopping something as small as a coronavirus so any room that is heated/cooled in a large building has air circulated through it that has been in every other room in the building served by that system of ductwork. And a lot of buildings have only one HVAC system. Really big buildings have multiple systems due to the logistics of moving that much air, but then you're talking 20 stories or so and taller.

I used to change air filters at a hospital, worked for an HVAC company who contracted the hospital's HVAC work, and those HEPA filters were a whole other world. Those filter changing days were back in the 80s and even then it was a scary proposition to change the filters because of all the bugs trapped in them. To be safe even then you had to basically dress for hazmat and the bugs now are far deadlier. Hospitals are breeding grounds for super bugs.

Very interesting points, all.
no doubt you have heard about the US carrier with coronavirus on board.....
I am surprised that we haven't heard more about air-con probs with this virus.

I think it is still worth more time, and glad that the time has been extended.

And that time is going to cost lives, along with it saving lives. We can't save everybody, and the cure shouldn't be worse than the disease.

 

[God's Truth]

Really....... still banging your political drum, even now. That's political tribalism at its very worst.....,

Many World leaders are now calling this situation the worst economic and human disaster since WWII and most of us here are tending to unite in a cohesive togetherness......... I just see that whenever I have to go out. ......... and there you are with your sad little drum.

Go on........... bang your drum. But we certainly don't need any like you here in UK, because you just keep on trying to damage the credibility of top medics who are trying to flatten the curve and keep our medical resources intact.

It was mentioned that two people died who were young. You are the one with the drum. You are the one who mentioned politics. You are the one no one not needed to spread hate and misinformation.

God can hear you.

I don't like the lie about wearing masks don't help. I like it that Trump never jumped on speaking that terrible lie from the CDC and other medical professionals..

Huh?
The BBC reports that President Trump has suggested that people use scarfs to cover their faces, and your CDC is reviewing its advice about face masks by suggesting a new design.

Well....?

The CDC and other medical professionals were saying for the citizens not to wear masks and that it won't help.

They instructed us on that lie, but Trump didn't instruct us on that lie.

He said to use a scarf if we have to if we want.

If I have to wear a mask, I want to wear a gorilla mask

He's also suggested and actually pretty much flatly stated that America is going to be in for a very tough time the next few weeks...

The biggest threat with this virus is its contagious aspect. You're not going to catch it breathing in the air on a walk so a scarf isn't going to help any not that it would help if it was infectious. A mask might help in as much as you don't touch your nose or mouth after coming into something contaminated but that's about it. Even then you'll need to wash after you've taken it off, same with the scarf.

Face masks only work in case of infectious contamination if they have air filters, right?

A mask helps those who have the disease not spread it to others, and wearing a mask will help not get it. Even a scarf is better than nothing.

Okay, there's some sense in the former aka spreading it while sneezing etc.

Nothing is 100% and anything is better than nothing.

therefore, anything is better than 100%

No, not just with sneezing, because when people just talk, sometimes little bit of spit comes out.

Right?!

That took me a few. lol

Yes, I expect so......
But churches are still holding services with packed congregations in some States, and so many people are still in denial...............

Leadership messages from February and early March could well influence the peak of this pandemic in a few western countries.

We knew that face-masks are safer back in February, because they reduce the instances of hand to face touching.
The World Health Organisation is now reviewing it's ideas about face masks because of new information about how far the virus 'pods' can travel in air.

Did you see ffreeloader 's post where he explains his work as an Air-Con specialist and his concerns about virus transmission? Have you noticed the many outbreaks in cruise liners and now a US aircraft carrier?

Have you seen the infection-rate graphs for Western Countries and compared these to the Korean graph? There may be many differences but I do notice that everybody in Korea is seen wearing face-masks, and most of these are not air-filtrated. Yestyerday in the Tesco queue about 60% of the shoppers wore face masks or scarfs.

The scientists and medical professionals know they got exposed about their mask lie; and, a lot more masks are being made now, so they want you to buy them.

A lie? No. A mistake? Yes.

Too obvious for a mistake. How would scientists and doctors not know the benefit of masks for crying out loud?
