The Mysterious Coronavirus Spreading Worldwide

[BenJepthah]

Curious .  Africa as an entire continent seems to be relatively unaffected by COVID. What, if anything, is being done in those lands which is different? Or is it just a mirage?

Our personal opinions are derived by what we see and hear, it then is filtered by how we think. If we fill our thoughts with secular news, opinions of so called professionals who, let's face it, don't have a completely clear view on this virus then we're only hypothesizing/opinionizing like the rest are.

 

I just had my safety meeting last night in regards to food distribution for today. When I first started doing this we were told that once you attend it you were good to go. But it became manditory to attend it again. I saw explicit instructions on our behavior with pictures of do's and don'ts. Mask, glove PPE.

After distributing boxes when you get home you immediately strip, scrub yourself in a long shower, glove up, take your clothing and wash on a long cycle separately. You sanitize where you had dropped your clothes, your vehicle and all door handles you touched as you entered. No discussion, no opinions. This comes from the slave who gets it from the top, Jehovah.  Go ahead and argue about your need to wear a mask with Jehovah and see where you get.

Our brothers are not trying to 'rule' us to death or deny our freedoms, we are being protected, sacred respect for life. So we can argue about masks, what demographic is heavily infected or not at all or the need to stay careful when going in public. We follow the direction of the slave who, like I said, follow what Jehovah says.

 

IMO, our obedience, as discussed in this weekend's WT, is being tested. What are we proving to our great God Jehovah? A disgruntled, argumentative, 'but, but' spirit to His direction or are we yielding to His supremacy at knowing what is best for us - mere specks on the dust patch in the gigantic universe?

This is what I've been doing since this whole thing ramped up. Whenever I come home from anywhere, even if its just to take the trash to the convenience center which is all outside, I take those exact same steps. Anything that comes in this house gets wiped down with bleach water piece by piece.

Well, my breathing and energy levels seem ok. I can't seem to cope mentally with as many things as I'm sure I could pre-covid but in the main I'm still able to cope. But one symptom that wasn't in the program but is in the literature I do have but I don't want to say it here. I'd been worried about it for a while because I could tell it going on for so long just isn't normal and just now have seen that it's in the list of post-covid symptoms. I can't prove that Covid gave it to me, but I do know that it's been around for some time and wasn't an issue before I got Covid. Not a helpful answer but it's there. Agape.

Could you please clarify as words are different in different areas. By "scrub" do you mean just have a nice relaxing shower or is it "scrub" like when you've a dirty dish or pot that needs to be made clean? Thanks in advance, I don't want to quote you wrongly over here.

Updated CDC guidance acknowledges coronavirus can spread through the air

 

"Covid-19 most commonly spreads between people who are in close contact with one another, and now says the virus is known to spread "through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks or breathes."

"There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes)," the page now says. "In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk."

The update also changed language around asymptomatic transmission, shifting from saying "some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus" to saying "people who are infected but do not show symptoms can spread the virus to others."

I think Jerry's point was, and I second the thought, is that this is not new information in the sense we've known all along Covid-19 is transmitted through airborn particles.  That is why we have been wearing masks and social distancing and keeping 6 feet or 3 meters apart.  The news that this virus is transmitted through air via water droplets is not new.

[Lee49]

I think the point is that the CDC is now "acknowledging" the fact that it can be spread through the air!

CDC abruptly removes guidance about airborne coronavirus transmission, says update 'was posted in error'

 

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday abruptly reverted to its previous guidance about how coronavirus is transmitted, removing language about airborne transmission it had posted just days earlier.

"A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency's official website. CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted," Jason McDonald, a CDC spokesman, said in a response emailed to CNN.

new restrictions imposed in UK expected to last for another 6 months. Boris announced to parliament today and to address the nation this evening.

Pubs/restaurants to only offer table service and close at 22.00.  Work from home wherever you can (u-turn on this advice). Fines increased for non-compliance with facemask rules. Businesses can be fined £10,000 for not being covid-secure!
 

Looks like another six months in the house at least.  (Actually his advice for the “most vulnerable” - most at risk of dying - is you can go out, you do not need to shield! 😱)

Not allowed to visit anyone inside again here in Scotland. But you can go get drunk together in the pub. 🙄 Can this system not just be done with please.

I don't find that unusual.  Reason: Because people do not have hope.  So they numb the senses by getting drunk.  They don't have answers and the governments don't either.  They are looking to their leaders for answers and, their leaders are clueless, charlatans!!    So, the next best thing is "let us eat and drink for tomorrow we shall die" attitude.

But they can accomplish the same goal at home not affecting others🙄, 

I guess they'll do as they do

I sometimes chuckle at these arbitrary pub/restaurant closures. Closing at 10pm? Why? What is that going to change? All people will do is pile in BEFORE 10. And they will buy their booze earlier in the day. 

 

Governments need to stop trying to control the lives of citizens. It only foments rebellion. If you want to reduce crowds at pubs, extend the time. Open MORE pubs for LONGER hours. It give people more options because and spreads them out. Taking options away, only causes people to pile up in those limited spaces.

So it don’t look like we’ll be back at the KH for meetings for at least another 6 months after last nights PM address to the nation!

I think this is being done intentionally to keep people confused. There's no other reason. Something is very very off about this whole pandemic.
