Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

The stepdaughter was at dad's this weekend - who promptly let her play with a bunch of other kids. And he's a residential plumber, so he gets exposed to all sorts of people on the job.
He's not getting her for the weekend any time soon; if he wants to see her, we can meet at a park for a few hours.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

We've been using words like "flatten," which is accurate as far as it goes, but leaves a false impression. In the near term, this is the curve we're talking about.

We'd like to see it flattened because seriously ill patients above the red line won't have access to ventilators, to lethal effect. That's the near term.
Now, let's assume the mitigation efforts are radically strengthened, run for five months, and then end.

Flattening the curve isn't about deflating it. It's about making it spread out, keeping the area above the red line as small as possible.

Here's what I don't get...
They closed down restaurants, schools, sent everyone home and say practice social distancing. All good.
But, then at the same time they are encouraging people to support the restaurants with carryout/deliveries. Hello? You are then exposing yourself to the people who prepare and deliver the food and the people they come in contact with (either during deliveries or just from their home). If anyone in that chain has the virus and doesn't know it, they can spread it to the food or the food containers and give it to you.
Also, remember those videos of fast food workers spitting on food? These are the same people who are making your hamburgers right now.

Heck I am worried about the guys in the grocery store when I do pickup. They go around shopping in the store itself, where who knows who touched what before them. And they themselves could be sick. I have been unloading my groceries with gloves on, and then leaving the groceries untouched for a day or two before using them. Then washing everything. I am turning into a germaphobic! And I am a pirate!!

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

But if someone is sick, they are touching the containers and bags, and they said that the virus can survive on plastic for up to 3 days and on cardboard (and I assume paper products) for 24 hours. And most of the delivery drivers are just general contractors like Instacart or Uber Eats, who the restaurant has no control over and doesn't know what precautions they take or who they have been in contact with.
