CDC Reverses Indoor-Mask Rules... ??? Again ? 1. Masks don't work. You don't need masks. Stop buying masks. (Because we need all of them.) 2. Masks do work... you should consider making a mask that won't work at all for yourself, while leaving all the ones that do work (N95 or better) for use by those of us who are lying to you... 3. Masks not only work... including those that can't possibly work... but you are required to wear one... even while knowing that stupid mask doesn't work. It's mandatory... because it isn't about you... but about all the people who will benefit from your compliance in wearing a mask that doesn't protect you... or them... 4. We've now proven that the virus is airborne (previously denied) in droplet particles as large as 100 microns... and that it easily travels long distances and remains airborne within the room where an infected person is shedding virus...however, we're going to continue to pretend that a 6 foot separation distance provides useful protection from infection... even knowing that it doesn't. 5. We now know that the virus itself at 65 to 125 nm (.06 to .125 microns) is two to five times smaller than the N95 pore size at "around" 300 nm (.3 microns) micron... But, also, as there is much misdirection being published, wrongly claiming N95 masks still work to eliminate smaller particles than that pore size limit... " because... you don't understand viruses or how masks work"... Except, I do understand viruses and how masks work... and what the N95 number means... which is that the mask is 95% efficient at removing particles larger than "around" 300 nm... and thus, is less than 95% efficient at removing particles smaller than that... the rest being blather... as the masks people are wearing are NOT N95 masks anyway.. but are totally useless whisps of cloth or paper surgical masks... that provide no protection at all. [Buy and, where needed, use N100 masks: because you can, and, no quibbles or questions... they work. ] 6. If you get the jab that does nothing to stop you becoming infected, or to stop the spread of the virus... then we will allow you to not wear the mask that doesn't work that we've required you to wear... so that you can help spread the virus faster, including the new variants... by acting as if you are protected and immune when you are not... 7. Masks are again required, indoors, even for those who have been "immunized"... 8. Oh, never mind.... no one with a brain is listening to us anyway...

re "‘They’ appear to be in some sort of proto-panic …" Reported cases are rising steeply in my state... Healthcare providers are mobilizing... Administrators pleading with Alaskans to get vaccinated as hospitals fill up alaskasnewssource.com Published: Jul. 27, 2021 at 5:43 PM UTC ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Alaska hospital administrators issued an urgent plea to the public Tuesday: Get vaccinated before hospital capacity is overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases. The Alaska State Hospitals and Nursing Home Association hosted a news conference Tuesday via Zoom. It’s only the second time the association has held a news conference in the last decade or so, according to the association’s president and CEO Jared Kosin. The last one was held in November, before COVID-19 hospitalizations peaked in Alaska. “As of yesterday, COVID hospitalizations reached December levels,” Kosin said. “At this rate, we’re tracking towards a significant care event. And on the downside here, the healthcare system is a far more fragile state than it was before. We have less room, we have less staff, and we have a burned out workforce.” ***** “The bottom line is that our hospital is already very busy with sick Alaskans,” said Alaska Regional Hospital CEO Jennifer Opsut. “If this trend of increased COVID cases continues, we are concerned that our hospitals will become overwhelmed here in Anchorage.” Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood...
