The world's largest maker of latex gloves will shut more than half of its factories after almost 2,500 employees tested positive for coronavirus.
...
On Monday, Malaysia's health ministry reported a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases in areas where Top Glove factories and dormitories are located.
Nearly 5,800 workers have been screened so far with 2,453 testing positive, it said.
Soviet déjà vu ...I see people asking where they call to report their neighbor who invited some people over.
Yes. Extra painful for me since that was my birthplaceSoviet déjà vu ...![]()
Once more about the flu:
https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/flu-u...ths-15-500-cases-so-far-this-season-1.3757919
This is from 2018. Now imagine if flu was tracked same as what is happening right now and reported in the same way...
The question thst has been on my mind is why did this not happen with previous outbreaks? What changed to precipitate the need for this mass hysteria? There is a condition called collective psychosis and I believe we have it.
There was a write up from England about positives and negatives of lockdown. I cannot find it right now but obviously there is a long list of negatives and the only positive they came up with is community coming together. Except I see the opposite. I see people asking where they call to report their neighbor who invited some people over.
How is this possible if the "science" tells us masks work?More Canadians are coughing, sniffling and sneezing though what health officials say is a flu season with higher than normal activity.
Our local official is taking justified hell for those comments.Once more about the flu:

So heroin is legal now (if I am correct), but you will go to jail for having family over in the name of public health? Seems logical.Our local official is taking justified hell for those comments.

Are the quotation marks a flag to indicate you believe the risks of wearing a mask are higher than the risk of not wearing one? Or do they mean something else?How is this possible if the "science" tells us masks work?
if you pay the tax on the heroine, it's legal. If you pay the "we've giving guests for Thanksgiving Tax", family gatherings become legal and safe.So heroin is legal now (if I am correct), but you will go to jail for having family over in the name of public health? Seems logical.

Dr. Baric’s team placed an infected hamster in a cage, adjacent to the cage of an uninfected one; the cages were several inches apart, so the animals could not touch one another. Any transmission could occur only through the air, in droplets or aerosols.
After two days, five of eight hamsters with the 614G variant had infected its pair. None of those with the ancestral virus had done so.
“When you take all the data together, everything is consistent with a system that increases infectiousness and transmissibility,” Dr. Baric said.

The virus will continue to change, and while most of those changes will be mere typos, some may be more meaningful, Dr. Engelthaler said. “There will be the possibility of additional alterations that change the nature of the pandemic,” he said.
Already, Dr. Engelthaler said, he has seen strong indications of such alterations in his own unpublished data tracking the spread of different variants in Arizona.
To create a mutated virus, you can either make a cascade of 60-million generations of virus by inoculating new Petri dishes with a culture from a previous generation, or, you can recruit some superspreaders and encourage a bunch of koolaid drinkers to interact with the superspreaders. Suddenly, 60-million living Petri dishes of potential mutations. I'm happy our society wasn't asked to make sacrifices to their lifestyle for the sake of a bullets/bombs/invasion war.
The comparisons to bullets/bombs/invasion/war are rediculous. There the enemy is real. It is another human being and you know that. Through wars people fought to keep their lives going as normal, to see their friends and neighbors, to have and attend concerts while the world crumbles around them.To create a mutated virus, you can either make a cascade of 60-million generations of virus by inoculating new Petri dishes with a culture from a previous generation, or, you can recruit some superspreaders and encourage a bunch of koolaid drinkers to interact with the superspreaders.

I disagree. Wars on viruses have been fought and won. It just depends on how much sacrifice your team is willing to make to win. New Zealand is doing a great job of it as are several other Asian countries. The war on Ebola was also won without a vaccine. It pops up again and again but proper measures."War" against a virus cannot be won.
Ok. I am game if I can go to a restaurant wearing nothing but a mask!I disagree. Wars on viruses have been caught and won. It just depends on how much sacrifice your team is willing to make to win.

Our teams made great strides in April and that training should have carried through to eradication like New Zealand. It is just a question of sacrifice but saying can't, impossible, not reaistic simply means "not willing to sacrifice". Sacrifice means giving up rights for the team. No worse than agreeing to be drafted or told to wear shoes and shirts in a restaurant (note: there is no evidence that shirtless or barefooted people spread disease).
We incorrigibles require obedience education:Ok. I am game if I can go to a restaurant wearing nothing but a mask!
Asia has prior immunity. Coronaviruses circulate through those areas naturally and consistently. Australia and New Zealand are artificially buying time because they are basically large islands isolated from everyone.
Just now in Canada the "Atlantic" bubble finally broke and there are outbreaks in Nuanvut...
Let me clarify, the war against this virus will not be won.
We actually havent eradicated any viruses if you check carefully. There were a handful of successful vaccination campaigns but these are for very specific very stable groups of diseases that show no rapid mutation. Good luck convincing people at low risk to take on a fast track vaccine that is based on unproven technology. Mandating a vaccine for all will be interesting. Whose rights are more important now? Who is taking the risk? I have epilepsy. If my seizures come back, who will be compensating me?
There was an article showing uptake of flu vaccine among medical professionals. It is high. The only thing they forgot to mension is that if you work at a hospital you are mandated to take the shot (in US).
I am wondering what the flu shot uptake in Canada for healthcare workers is this year as you can opt out but then you have to wear a mask. Any year prior this is a big inconvenience, but this year we are stuck with thw muzzle either way. So there you go. I have never gotten a flu shot and have been sick once in 20 years. Will see what future holds.
p.s. i have specifically used the word "war" here because this is how it is being covered with vocabulary such as "saccrifice", do it for your grandparents, the veterans etc...
