Sorry this is my first post in 3 years, I find this update thread really useful but can the mods block RP2SsticksOfDynamite from this thread please?

All I see lately are your random guesses and assumptions being posted ad infinitum. Please post these in a different thread please and keep this for actual, factual updates. Thanks. Door.

The new name he has for the virus is getting old. However, for the most part he has had beneficial and informative posts.

There is another poster that shows up about once a day, and posts a bunch of nonsense, even to the point of in one previous post hoping the virus would wholesale cull the old and weak, who would be a much better candidate to be blocked.

On topic: We are late for Cuomo's news briefing. I don't think it has been this late before. I wonder if they are getting some late info.

LOL. Yeah, cuomo did such a great job making NY number one in corona virus cases, I think he's trying to make sure no other state can get as many as we do.

Lets hope he is more successful, however, track record isn't a good benchmark.

I have zero expertise, just would like to keep this particular thread about actual updates, and chat about those updates, as it is useful and interesting. Constantly reading through your guesses, although interesting is not what this thread is about.

Anyone else find this conflicting and confusing??

WHO is right??

I will be wearing a mask and gloves when I go out shopping. I think i'll be wearing them for months to come, just like the chinese.

I'm not confused at all.

I think that most masks, even makeshift masks, can stop or at least slow down people who have Covid-19 from spreading it to others. The reason is because even makeshift masks can stop droplets of saliva containing the virus which frequently are expelled when we talk, etc.

However, once the moisture evaporates and the virus can float in the air, it can do so for a long time, and a makeshift mask is not going to stop that. Even an N95 mask may find it challenging to stop it and other hazmat gear is needed for full protection, maybe including goggles. So I wouldn't be a bit surprised if even healthcare workers wearing N95 masks and goggles might still contract the virus in some cases, since even that relatively good protection is less than perfect.

But the healthcare workers need the N95's more than the general population and there's a shortage of N95 masks, so there's probably still a push to make as many N95s as possible available to healthcare workers who need them the most, which I think is really behind this message to the public to not hog the limited number of N95 masks available. The message I'm getting is that the healthcare workers need the N95 masks more than I do, and I believe they do.

If you're still confused, I suggest listening to this expert from South Korea who I think understands the transmission probably as well as anybody and has a lot to say about masks; he's in favor of them, though I didn't really hear him advocating to hog the N95 masks making them unavailable to healthcare workers, and he goes into a lot of detail so you have to pay attention carefully to understand the implications of what he says.

I don't have any concrete evidence and do hope I am totally wrong but.........everything I have read from the beginning of this thread and from other threads and source information (and note I thought something was not quite right about "The Chrojan Virus" from thread 1 and now in thread 5 my gut feeling has only been affirmed).

Were you reading speculations from ATS members or have you gone off to read the scientific papers by researchers working on the virus? I find that for easy to read news, ScienceDaily.Com is a lot more reliable than ATS speculation and is full of reports from people who can tell the difference between DNA gene sequences and RNA gene sequences.

I have read quite a lot of material and not only posts but I am not blinkered to think that all I read is the reality of what we are dealing with. I don't claim to be an expert, in fact I am very far from it when it comes to this topic. But that does not mean I am not an expert in other fields and learned!
