Woman’s death certificate lists COVID-19, but family says she was never tested

[X-Files]

It looks like studies are now showing that certain types of face guards, like neck guards/bandanas are actually WORSE for spreading the virus than NO masks at all.

But liberal cucks like X-Files would have screamed at someone to leave an area without a face mask, and then bump fists with someone wearing a neck gaiter/bandana because they thought they were keeping the world safe.

Foolish, nonsense, [purposely] misleading, twisted, half-truths, flat out wrong. Words that often accurately describe your remarks and posts. Read this & inform yourself:

Professionally-fitted N95 masks -- hospital-grade protection worn by frontline workers in hospitals -- reduced droplet transmission to less than 0.1%.

Surgical or polypropylene masks were not far behind, bringing droplet transmission down by 90% or more compared to no face-coverings.

Hand-made cotton face coverings provided good coverage, eliminating 70 to 90% of the spray from normal speech, depending on the number of layers and the pleating.

But bandanas only reduced the droplets by about 50% and neck fleeces actually increased the amount of spray, probably by dispersing the largest droplets into many smaller droplets.

In Canada medical masks have been available in stores for a long time with many wearing them. What's the USA's problem? Trump?

Months ago i obtained KN95 masks online which are virtually equal to N95 masks.

Many cotton masks are also highly effective. And easily made at home.

DURHAM, N.C. – Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are choosing neck gaiters as their go-to face covering. The ease with which they can slide up and down the face makes them a favorite among runners and hikers. Now, however, a new study suggests this lightweight, breathable fabric may be worse at blocking the coronavirus than wearing no face mask at all.
Researchers at Duke University say bandanas and neck gaiters are among the worst choices for face coverings when it comes to blocking fluid droplets. Airborne droplets of saliva, or aerosols, emitted when one coughs, sneezes, or even speaks can cause transmission of the coronavirus, experts say. This is why mask use and social distancing are two keys to slowing the spread of the virus.

To study how well face masks prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Duke team focused on fluid droplets coming from the mouth when people speak. To do this, they used an inexpensive apparatus made from cheap and easily obtained laboratory materials. It consists of a box, a laser, a lens, and a cell phone camera.


The study in the journal Science Advances shows most types of face masks block fluid droplets from traveling far from the mouth. Despite this discovery, not all face coverings perform as well as others.
[h=2]Best face masks vs. worst face masks[/h] The best masks are N95 masks without valves. These types of masks are commonly used by healthcare workers and in medical facilities. Researchers say surgical or polypropylene face coverings and fabric (cotton) masks also work relatively well.
In contrast, bandanas and neck gaiters do not block fluid droplets well at all. Study authors explain that neck gaiters cause larger fluid droplets to break up into smaller particles. This increases droplet counts and could allow particles to hang around in the air for longer periods of time. This, in turn, could raise the likelihood that someone wearing a neck gaiter transmits COVID-19 to others nearby.

Are ‘neck gaiters’ worse than no mask?

...“Neck gaiters” and other tube-shaped scarves don’t necessarily spread more coronavirus than no mask at all, experts say, despite some recent headlines to the contrary.A new study on masks by a group of U.S. researchers made news this week, with some people saying that it proves once and for all which mask best prevents coronavirus spread.

But while experts say the findings have been a bit overblown, it’s true that some kinds of masks work better than others, and there are things you should look for when making or purchasing a mask.

The study, printed in the journal Science Advances, looked at a new way to test how well masks prevented the spread of droplets from someone’s nose and mouth — thought to be the main way the virus spreads.


The study authors’ goal wasn’t to test masks, but to develop an easy method for mask-testing.

What they came up with was a laser and camera system that could spot the droplets produced by someone speaking the words, “Stay healthy, people.” To test out their invention, they had a person try out a variety of commonly used masks, including disposable medical masks, cotton cloth masks, a neck-warmer and a bandana, and measured how the droplet pattern changed with each mask.

But because the tests were so small — often just done by a single person — and weren’t designed to actually evaluate different kinds of masks in a comprehensive way, it’s hard to draw conclusions from this single study, according to Dr. Susy Hota, medical director of infection prevention and control at the University Health Network in Toronto.

“This, unfortunately, isn’t a definitive, groundbreaking study that’s going to help us understand which masks out on the market are best,” she said. “With the small range of what was tested, it would be hard to derive any conclusions from it.”

The study authors themselves note that much more research is required to be able to actually say which masks work best. “This was just a demonstration — more work is required to investigate variations in masks, speakers, and how people wear them,” said co-author Martin Fischer, a chemist and physicist at Duke University, in a press release.

https://globalnews.ca/news/7269074/best-mask-fit-fabric/

"When shopping for a mask, you want multiple layers of fabric, Hota said. The inner layer should be of a moisture-absorbing material, like cotton. The outer layer should be a manmade fabric that repels moisture while remaining breathable, like polypropylene or a cotton-polyester blend. The World Health Organization recommends three layers of fabric, she said, but what fabric the middle layer is matters a bit less."

That is generally old news, actually, that people should have been informed of long ago.

Yeah, right, so much snow here this time of year. And we all live in igloos.

" Americans are more likely to say Canadians have the edge in happiness (42% say Canadians are more likely to be happy while 26% select Americans), tolerance (47% vs 20%) and politeness (50% vs 19%).

"....More than a third (38%) of American women say Canadians have a better quality of life, while 28 percent say it’s better in the United States

"...More educated people were more likely to say that Canada had a better quality of life, too. Graduates of four-year colleges (48%) were more likely say Canada had a better quality of life, compared with those who had a high school diploma or less (29%).

"...A similar trend appears on the question of who’s happier. Americans with a four-year degree are more likely to say that Canadians are happier (53%) than Americans (16%)

Is that what's killing so many people in Sweden - way more than their Nordic Viking neighbours - where so many people live alone (which serves to protect Sweden from C-19), rather than C-19?

[h=1]Canada's Alberta confirms first death linked to AstraZeneca vaccine[/h]

​

(Reuters) -The Canadian province of Alberta reported its first death of a patient from a rare blood clot condition after receiving the AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) COVID-19 vaccine, its chief medical officer said.
Canada has reported at least five cases of blood clots following immunization with the vaccine, but public health officials maintain the benefits of the AstraZeneca shot outweigh the potential risks.
The Alberta case, of a woman in her 50s, marks the second case of blood clots, and the only death after more than 253,000 doses of AstraZeneca were administered in the province, Alberta's chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said in a statement on Tuesday.
"While any death is tragic, it is important to remember that the risks of dying or suffering other severe outcomes from COVID-19 remain far greater than the risk following AstraZeneca vaccine," Hinshaw said.
AstraZeneca did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment.
Canada has had 1,243,242 confirmed coronavirus cases and 24,342 deaths, according to a Reuters tally
Last month, the province of Quebec reported Canada's first death of a patient after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
AstraZeneca, working with the vaccine's inventor Oxford University, was one of the leaders in the global race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. Its cheap and easily transportable shot was hailed as a milestone in the fight against the crisis, but has since faced a series of setbacks.
The rare complication, which some regulators including Health Canada are calling Vaccine-Induced Prothrombotic Immune Thrombocytopenia, involves blood clots accompanied by a low count of platelets, cells in the blood that help it to clot.
Dozens of countries paused the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in March after reports of rare, but serious, blood clots. Several of them have now resumed use either fully or with restricions after health regulators said the benefits of the shot outweigh any risks.
