Why is it called social distancing... It's physical distancing. Social distancing is not picking up your phone or going on Facebook. Physical distancing is staying 6 feet away from people in a social setting

I'm in a manufacturing industry where air quality needs to be carefully maintained and understood in detail. So I read deeply into it because it concerns me.
And we know that masks have a degree of failure. That's a big deal, esp when viral particles exist in aerosol form and you get repeated inoculations of the virus because the patients cough relentlessly into the air.
Mask failure is probably especially high in people who are not experienced in ensuring a proper seal around the mask on their face, or reusing masks, or using the wrong mask.

trees said: You deny the factor of viral load? Healthy medics are dying. Likely due to excessive viral load. Which would probably come from the hospital air. Patients are coughing relentlessly into the air. Masks will have a degree of failure. Repeated inhalation of viral particles could be dangerous.
Unfortunately a lot of medical personnel got exposed to this without any kind of PPE at all early on. Presumably this is true of almost of any new infectious disease. We've changed the way things are set up in triage and policies against wearing PPE in the hallways are being overlooked. There's a lot of healthcare worker quarantining going on but I've not heard any reports of COVID illness requiring hospitalization of medics here in Houston so far. Obviously this is a big fucking city with a lot of medical people so it could be happening out there but it's definitely not happening en mass.

It has been 20 days since super tuesday. The numbers death coming out today should tell us a lot about what to expect in those states over the next week or so

I'm honestly not sure. Intuitively it makes more sense than smaller droplets are more likely to bypass cilia and mucuous during inhalation. But I don't really trust my intuitions about this, I don't know enough. I think the size of the droplet capable of transmitting COVID19 is still being debated. And frankly even when they give you a number you have to take it with a grain of salt. The behavior of water droplets does depend largely on the environment. Humidity/temperature. These vary regionally, seasonally, and indoors versus outdoors. I think it's a good thing that we're not just admitting any and every person because to an extent I think trees is right about hospitals incubating diseases and making outcomes worse for certain people. A lot of folks with COVID probably should just go home and chill in their backyard, soak up some of this relatively clean air and sunlight, and of course come on back if it gets worse.
Right now the PPE recommendations being put out by the CDC have everything to do with logistics and almost nothing to do with evidence based practice. They know a lot of medical personnel are going to catch it. Fortunately it does look like antibodies to other coronaviruses play a role in mitigating the severity of infection, and healthcare workers tend to have more antibodies to whatever diseases are endemic to the area.

Call it whatever you want. The important thing is that it appears to be working. I'll be happier with a 3 day trend but I'll take what I can get for now.

What’s up with your kidneys
I have no idea honestly. My levels returned to normal but I've had some symptoms like pissing more often with urgency. My levels went back to normal and my doc was like "yolo, your good homeslice" and sent me home. Never got to see a nephrologist the free healthcare has been less than effective for me
