A friend of mine apparently got covid for the second time here in my hometown in Brasília/Brasil. First time in march that he almost died out of air in hospital (tested negative but all the symptons we assumed was corona, xray of lungs showed some scars, and most friends also had some symptons after but not like that specific friend). Second time two weeks ago, tested positive but had just fever, out of taste/smell and diarréia for 3 days, staying and resting just in home. His spose also tested positive this time, but showed just minor symptons. He dont work anymore after the first time, using mask ALL the time, but he believe that this second time he catched in open air market where he had to lunch for a brief period of time. Hes doing fine now but staying inside his house for a couple more days for quarentine.

New mutation showing up renders Covid 10x more deadly...

Don't worry though. I'm sure, like the warm weather, the winter will kill this one off too.

gopher said: anyone here wear a unique mask? im thinking about getting a plain mask, I have a monkey mask and everyone stares at me when im out, and at least one person if not 2 or 3 will try to talk to me when im out, it sucks cause I wish I could just wear my mask in peace, its a neck gaiter and its definitly more comfortable then the k95s I bought in case my town starts to get hit with covid, and probaly more comfortable then a normal mask

nah, I have some friends that have masks that light up when you talk but that's because they've been doing a lot of outdoor socially distanced camping parties and raves, I'm like having weekly panic attacks about my dad dying, not attending socially distanced silent discos so I've been all function no form.

I've been playing around with different reuseable masks. These filters I got are rated for 2.5 microns which would make them effectively useless against something the size of Rona, but I have a multi-layer mask with a pocket in the interior I use them in anyways.

This school situation is such a predictable dumpster fire. The university of North Carolina chapel hill brought everyone back to campus and within a week they’re sending all their students packing after a major outbreak. Will anyone learn a lesson? A lot of high paid people are engaging in magical thinking these days

in ontario only grades 4 and up are required to wear masks, and they are not reducing class sizes as much as the teachers union wants

Quote:
A new strain of the novel coronavirus called 'D614G', deemed ten times deadlier, has been detected in Malaysia, said Director General of Health Noor Hisham Abdullah in a Facebook post on Saturday.
The mutation has been spotted in three cases from a cluster which started when a restaurant owner and permanent resident returned to the country from India. It has also been detected in another cluster case which started from an individual who returned from the Philippines.
Abdullah said that the strain could mean that existing studies on vaccines might be incomplete or ineffective against the mutation.
"So far these two clusters are controlled due to the fast-paced public health control actions on the field. This test is an early test and there are several follow-up tests in progress to test several other cases, including index cases for both these clusters," Abdullah said,
Abdullah said that this meant people needed to be more aware and careful in the country. The mutation infects other individuals 10 times more and spreads more easily by an individual 'super spreader', he said.
He said that Malaysia's main action was to secure public health, and asked people to practice Covid-19 norms strictly, such as practicing good self-hygiene and wearing protective clothes in public places.

Down in the copy it says it's 10X more infectious, I doubt it's both 10X as ,deadly and 10X infectious.

That would be getting into the apocalyptic range. If that were true the best strategy would be for everyone to go find someone with covid and make out with them. DIY vaccine.

Asbestos is only dangerous if broken up. That's why you can have absestos siding on your house but you need specialists in heavy duty gear to remove it.
Also why most of the people who got mesothelioma were industry workers even though it was used in almost everything for decades.

It does sound like something the Malaysian tabloid equivalent of The Sun found a new scare.
I buy 10x more deadly, because thats easily achieved, but 10x as contagious too? That woyld put it at R0 30-50 in absence of measures.
The number of cases is too small to say that.
But, if a more deadly mutation were just around the vorner for this virus, it would be bad news because it could recur.
