Japan ignored the usual rules but contained COVID-19. How did it work?

[DOTR]

Not only that, but at first they thought the virus was transmitted by touching things, which is why they told us at first to disinfect everything with wipes, but now we find out it is mostly airborne, which is why they are telling us to wear masks.

So what will "they" tell us next and how hard will the blowback be if we question them?

Dunno what they will tell us next. This virus is brand new, and research is still being done on it. Like I've said before, because of the newness of the bug, information is constantly being learned about it, and updates are a regular kind of thing, so working with information that they put out in March isn't going to be what they are saying now as they learn more.

And, they ARE starting to say that face shields can help, because it stops the virus from hitting your face and eyes. If drops of the virus hit your eyes, that is one avenue for the disease to get in. It gets in via the fluid in your eyeballs. But, on that one I think I'm okay, because I have to wear glasses, and cleaning them after I come home is just another thing that I do.

Was kinda interesting how they found out about the eyes. A doctor who is also a virologist and works with these things on a regular basis took a flight. He was wearing a mask and gloves, but had no protection for his eyes, and he thinks that is how he came down with it, because he had taken every precaution besides wearing goggles on the flight. And, to tell you the truth, I don't really see myself flying anywhere in the foreseeable future.

Virologist hospitalized with coronavirus believes he got it through his eyes

"We tend to pay attention to the nose and mouth," Dr. Joseph Fair said. "But you know, droplets landing on your eyes are just as infectious."

I love Japanese culture. The rape of Nanjing or say unit 731, nice culture. The Japanese where worse than the NAZIS comparatively.

That's their past. Everyone has a past. In fact, every individual including myself, has a past they are not proud of.

Japan today is awesome. We could learn a lot from them. Starting with being "Polite" which people in the US used to understand.

 

[Andylusion]

I do know this, a one-size-fits-all doesn't work in places where some are hardly hit and some are hit hard. I can only imagine how much damage it has done to the economy of Ontario and Toronto for decades to come. It's going to be like nothing we've seen in our history, of this I am certain.

The only thing the various areas heavily hit have in common is control by Dimocrat political machines, and how does that aid the spread of a virus?

******* wierd shit.

I have one theory on that. Many of them jacked up the pay out from Medicare, specifically for Covid-19 patients. Thus institutions had a huge incentive to label every single person, a covid-patient.

Remember, Medicare and Medicaid both, payout much much less than the true cost of treatment.

Additionally, states have a huge influence on payouts.

If your state, which happens to be pro-socialist, and believes that more people should be on Medicaid, jacks up the payout dramatically for Covid-19, the result is those institutions have a huge massive incentive to say everyone has Covid.

I know I did a lot of things as a young man that I would never do now that I'm older and wiser. And, some of those things are funny, some are sad, and some I don't talk about in polite company.

Yep, everyone does have a past. However, if they are like most, they will learn from their past and endeavor to do better.

I’m not sure how much a mask actually helps.

Its just a theory that the mouth spreads the virus. Theoreticians have been all over the board on this, that certainly wasn't the theory 4 months ago.

Yeah... Just like Gravity is a theory too.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
The virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly from person to person, mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).

That's the CURRENT theory. Past theories (from not that terribly long ago) suggested that it was picked up off of surfaces (thus the need to wash your hands after using the can) Considering how much it goes through SOME nursing homes, its certainly possible that catalysts to spread the virus are in SOME plumbing systems.

Pretending that the libs at the CDC have all the answers is sort of stupid, even if these fellow are really insistent on it.

I don't understand your stance... One does not discount the other. It can do BOTH. But to suggest that it's not airborne is just... Well... As you said... stupid.

Perhaps Japan has decisive leadership?

You can say that again!

You did!
