I had heard Derek was on "coronavirus lockdown" the past few years.

Several DC grocery stores have had employees with coronavirus with a couple deaths. New emergency rules: masks on customers, one-way aisles, plastic partitions, line-up outside to get in, gloves and masks on workers, etc. Should have been done a month ago as grocery stores are obvious petri dishes. https://dcist.com/story/20/04/09/shoppers-are-now-required-to-wear-a-mask-in-d-c-grocery-stores/ Shoppers Are Now Asked To Wear Masks In D.C. Grocery Stores D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday issued a new order mandating that stores post signage at store entrances instructing shoppers to cover their faces with a mask or other covering while shopping. It also limits how many people can be in the store at one time to allow social distancing, requires hand sanitizers or wipes to be available at the entrance, and encourages stores to use one-way aisles. The order also includes new rules for grocers — they have to check employees for symptoms and install plastic shields in checkout lines by April 20 and immediately end self-service food stations like hot buffets and salad bars. Workers who interact with the public must be provided with masks and gloves if possible.

I dont know.

Can you imagine sneezing in a grocery store !

This story by my house doesn't even mention two other local Trader Joes that have closed for scrubbing after an employee got sick. The large supermarkets are not even closing to clean. When you must go in any grocery wear the best mask you have, glasses, and sanitize, sanitize, sanitize. Shower and change clothes when back home.

Why mask and not masks? Are you assuming 1 mask would stop both intake and exhale? IDK.

But they've barred Americans; too many coronavirus cases in America and Europe.

Do he and his mother and sister have any personal lives at all? It seems everyday there's more professional photos.

Already talk in UK of releasing under-30's. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coronavirus-releasing-young-people-could-be-best-way-out-of-lockdown-experts-suggest-150828964.html Releasing young people aged between 20 and 30 years old who do not live at home with their parents could be the best route out of coronavirus lockdown in the UK, researchers have suggested.

Coronavirus is extremely airborne and they have said this from the beginning. They say 6 to 10 feet normally and that it can linger in the air a decent time. In fact with fans and air systems in buildings or transit it can travel further and be airborne longer. Doctors and nurses in close contact with coronavirus patients have to have N95 masks at minimum as part of their uniform. Any mask will stop most transmission but only N95 will stop almost all spores from getting to the throat where they infect. I have 2 N95s I reuse every other day and would never go to the grocery without.

Amazing charts. Predicted peak death date in each state. Most are in coming days. U.S. Coronavirus Outbreak: State-by-State Death Toll https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-coronavirus-where-is-the-us-on-the-curve/

What they tell those of us with sleep apnea is that the rear of the tongue becomes larger with extra weight and/or nerves and muscles in the rear of the tongue diminish ability to contract to open the throat during sleep. Sleeping on your stomach or even side lets gravity move the tongue and jaw forward to open the throat. I was able to defer using a CPAP for many years by flipping to stomach and side. Of course the virus fills parts of the lungs too. Everyone should have a thermometer and a oximeter for the virus check, They're about $30 on ebay and Amazon.

That $20 takeout Family Meal at Panda Express is terrific but...

If everyone had to wear some sort of simple mask in public, non-surface transmission would be cut to almost zero. The N95s are what medicals need in hospitals. (also what victims need). There's a whole lot of those coming to the US. They used to be 85 cents and are meant to be disposable. amazon sells them to registered medicals for 85 cents even now. A civilian having a couple to reuse is not a big deal. Personally I like the Chinese version, the KN95 much better and on eBay or Amazon they are readily available. Here's 2 for $12 shipped in 3 days: https://www.ebay.com/itm/KN-95-Protective-Cover-2-Covers-Per-Package-Disposable/392750034306?hash=item5b71b9ed82:g:11UAAOSw-9leiJwO They're often much cheaper on Amazon in 10 packs. The simple surgical masks are dirt cheap. Yesterday I posted Amazon had them 50 for $5. Bicycle shops have charcoal masks for $5 and every other person seems to making cloth ones. Some sort of mask is no big burden. Germany and many other countries already require them. And in China women's undies are the cool masks:

And I say that unless you know you do not have the virus, this one is deadly enough to where out of consideration for others you should always wear some sort of simple mask in public for a while. To do otherwise is endangering others' lives, no matter what your slim risks are. Everyone wearing a mask for a while would cut transmission down drastically. For your own sake I would always wear an N95 or KN95 into grocery stores or other enclosed places like transit.

Westworld killed this possibility for me forever

This is probably the best extremely concise piece I've seen. This political correctness of changing facts on masks and age needs to stop as does other PC lies. Pleasant or not, truth and facts are absolutely necessary. Let's make a deal with the youth: free college for so many pints of their antibody hemoglobin to treat boomers: The noble lie about masks and coronavirus should never have been told Matthew Walther The WeekApril 4, 2020, 6:40 AM EDT Those of you of a certain age will doubtless remember a time when it was universally acknowledged that wearing masks would not protect you or anyone else from the coronavirus pandemic. By "certain age" here I mean all living Americans born on or before April 1, 2020, which according to my notes is when it became possible to express a contrary position in polite society. This was always nonsense. The White House is now suggesting that all of us should wear masks whenever we leave our houses. We are even stealing vast stockpiles of them from the Germans, who have been wearing them in public for around a month on the rather more numerous occasions when their leaders exempt them from house arrest. People who can't get proper masks (apparently the kind people wear when they spray for bugs) are being encouraged to make their own. If nothing else, this has given tedious DIY addicts something else to be self satisfied about. No one cares how quaint and interesting you think the piece of cloth meant to protect you from a disease is, okay? Whether the journalists and other apparent experts who enthusiastically spread this apparent lie about masks knew it was false is very much an open question. Some of us found it odd that the same people were also saying that masks should be reserved for use by medical professionals. If masks don't do anything, why do doctors and nurses need them? Are they an ornamental part of a dress uniform? The mind reels. Regardless of the personal honesty of those involved in it, this propaganda campaign should never have been conducted in the first place. It is one thing to debate what should be empirical questions, such as the efficacy of wearing protective equipment in an attempt to forestall the spread of viral infections; it is another for people to bang on about whatever the latest current corona wisdom is with the same tedious certainty that not long ago made us a nation of Logan Act scholars and experts on the non-existent criminal law implications of the emoluments clause. These manias do roughly as much for public health as those kids — there was at least one in every first-grade class — who relentlessly ssshh everyone else in line do to improve schoolyard behavior. The 180-degree shift in acceptable public opinion about masks is in line with how the rest of this crisis has unfolded. Masks won't help. Everyone needs a mask. It's not worth shutting down travel to and from China over the virus, and Trump is just being a xenophobe here. Trump should have done more to prevent the virus from coming to these shores. It's less dangerous than the flu; calling it less dangerous than the flu is a right-wing meme, perhaps even (one shudders) "misinformation." Human beings can't even transmit the virus directly to one another; it originated with animals in Chinese open-air "wet" food markets. Talking about the wet markets is racist, except when Dr. Fauci does it. Can we please stop talking this way? As I write this our paper of record is all but publicly rooting for the failure of anti-malarial drugs that appear to have been successful in treating some coronavirus patients. It is not against "science," whatever that may be, for the president or anyone else to observe that certain medicines or treatments have worked. It is not for science, either. It's just a fact that may or may not have limited application depending upon what happens over the next few months. A bit more epistemic humility would be welcome all around. As would more of what I will bluntly call adult behavior. We must put an end to the idea that the best way to get through this crisis is to say things we know are not true in the hope of getting people to behave a certain way. This means not saying masks are useless when what you really mean is, "Masks are in short supply, please consider before you start hoarding them whether you really need them at present and if so how many." Ditto the painfully relentless attempts to give young people the impression that they are horribly likely to die from the new virus. Even in Italy, the country with the worst measured fatality rate so far, around 86 percent of all the deceased have been aged 70 or older, and 50 percent were at least 80. We do not need to zero in on statistical anomalies or otherwise engage in scaremongering. It should be enough to say, "Even though you are very unlikely to die from coronavirus, remember that you could contract the disease and spread it to more vulnerable people without even experiencing symptoms, so please don't revel with 5000 strangers at the beach and then run home to give Grandma a hug." This is how grown-ups talk to one another. https://www.yahoo.com/news/noble-lie-masks-coronavirus-never-104001181.html And in fact requiring everyone in public to wear a mask, as Germany and several countries do, would stop most transmission of the virus from unknowing carriers.

DC hit 1000 cases today with it's 670,000 population. But it was a warm day and all the 20-somethings were parading in shorts and sandals with virtually no masks. Once the antibody test comes and tells many they are immune, there's going to be a revolt of the young. Hell hath no fury like young entitled yuppies in DC.

I've doubled up times for my housekeeper because she disinfects heavily, changes sheets, etc. I leave her alone in the house and when she leaves I spray disinfectant. On balance she's more of a sanitary plus.
