To quote aviation-enthus again, the only sustainable way to deal with this is "Some sort of middle ground has to be found. Masks on, social distancing, build more ICU beds and PROPERLY isolate the vulnerable (especially in nursing homes etc)."
Lapsap regarding the above sentence.
1. Masks- should only be worn if you have or tested positive with covid. If you have 100 people tested negative masks are pointless.
Additionally they reduce your O2 by 20% because your recycling some of your CO2 which is a by product (waste) once the red blood cells have finished it's job of transporting O2.
Hence all your body organs are getting 20% less O2. Well that's really good for your brain.
If you get sneezed on your mask is supposed to protect you. Like hell. Your hair, ears, forehead, neck, shoulders, shirt, pants, are totally coated with the virus.
Then you touch your mask, enough said. Don't forget your swimming goggles if you wear a musk, tear ducts absorb everything that's in front of you.
Minor points they mentally drag you down, can't see your lips move while talking, and you feel claustrophobic adding emotional stress.
2. Social distancing- Who came up with 1.5m. Really WHO came up with this shizen. If you sneeze in still air your particles will travel 5-7m they are released at 200kph.
Kylie Mole/Billie Eilish "der."
3. ICUs- Hospitals are places were you should avoid if you can. It's your last resort. If they put you on drugs and shizen food, they destroy gut lining. Well that's good for you immune system.
If they put you on a ventilator it does the breathing for you. To have one on, your lungs are in a pneumonitis state. Mucus is building in your alveolus and that needs to be coughed up.
You really think they would have a tube in there (the lungs) to vacuum out the gunk. If they don't it's like drowning in your own fluids. Please tell me 570,000 haven't died like this.
Your grandma and your great, always boiled some water, throw the tea towel over you and breath deep. A sauna and a hot shower has the same effect.
Notice you cough up a lot of mucus during it. Viruses hate hot saturated air.
4.-Isolate the vulnerable. Good idea. They have been doing that since Ancient Egypt, Roman Empire though our present day emperors will lockdown everything.
