May 22, 20215 yr https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e1.htm Adjusting for county-level incidence, COVID-19 incidence was 37% lower in schools that required teachers and staff members to use masks, and 39% lower in schools that improved ventilation, compared with schools that did not use these prevention strategies. Ventilation strategies associated with lower school incidence included methods to dilute airborne particles alone by opening windows, opening doors, or using fans (35% lower incidence), or in combination with methods to filter airborne particles with high-efficiency particulate absorbing (HEPA) filtration with or without purification with ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) (48% lower incidence). Multiple strategies should be implemented to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in schools (2); mask requirements for teachers and staff members and improved ventilation are important strategies that elementary schools could implement as part of a multicomponent approach to provide safer, in-person learning environments.

May 23, 20215 yr Fauci appears to admit that Covid may not have occurred naturally: Politifact: That has been the subject for a lot of our fact-checking on the coronavirus for the past year. There’s a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still. So I wanted to ask are you still confident that COVID developed naturally? Dr. Fauci: No actually, that’s the point that I said. And I think that the real unfortunate aspect of what Senator Paul did was he was conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists which was — you’d almost have to say that if we did not do that then we’d be almost irresponsible because SARS-COVI-1 clearly originated in China… So we really had to learn a whole lot about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected with bad viruses. So in a very minor collaboration as part of a sub-contract as part of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated that was that we were involved in creating the virus. Which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I’ve ever heard of.

For like the five millionth time, even if you "get it," it is extremely unlikley that you'd have symptoms or be able to spread it. Put another way, you can become infected, but your viral load will be so diminished that you will neither be sick nor contagious.

Quote Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told CNN he believes the coronavirus originally escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. But it's too early to know for sure and investigations are ongoing. Dr. Redfield, Trump's COVID plan genius, is not my first choice for accurate disease information, let's just say.

May 24, 20215 yr 20 hours ago, The_Omega said: Fauci appears to admit that Covid may not have occurred naturally: No he didn't. He said the exact opposite. Quote No actually, that’s the point that I said. The point being the virus developed naturally. Quote So in a very minor collaboration as part of a sub-contract as part of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated that was that we were involved in creating the virus. Which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I’ve ever heard of. Most likely the virus developed among Chinese farming of exotic animals in central/southern China. That's where the virus jumped from species to species, eventually to humans. Now if you want to make the case exotic animal farming in China is unnatural, fine, but it is ridiculous to think COVID-19 virus was developed in a lab. Fauci says that is ridiculous.

He was ripping on Rand Paul for alleging cover funding of gain of function research which, the way things have been going, will probably end up being true too. Right, Fauci was ripping Rand Paul. Not only is it ridiculous to say NIH funded research in China to create a virus, it is ridiculous to think the virus was developed in a lab. Quote He was saying we funded a kind of research in China that could lead to dangerous research. That's not the case. So what he was saying was just absolutely not true. It's really unfortunate that he brought that up. It really does nothing but cloud the issue of what we're trying to do. So it was just unfortunate that he said that. It was said in an accusatory way that just made no sense and was not based in any fact that all. Quote So in a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated is that therefore we were involved in creating the virus which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I've ever heard of. But yes, Fauci feels we should investigate what happened in China that resulted in the virus. We don't know the exact path it took.
May 24, 20215 yr Just now, toolg said: Right, Fauci was ripping Rand Paul. Not only is it ridiculous to say NIH funded research in China to create a virus, it is ridiculous to think the virus was developed in a lab. You're flying in a plane full of lies.

Now if you want to make the case exotic animal farming in China is unnatural, fine, but it is ridiculous to think COVID-19 virus was developed in a lab. Fauci says that is ridiculous. Fauci is at least leaving the door open for origination from non-nautral sources. What he was calling "ridiculous" was Paul's accusation that the U.S. collaborated with China in developing the virus in a lab setting, that the NIH was in no way involved in "gain-of-function" research in Wuhan. There's still a lot unknown about this, but it seems that most scientists are not discounting the possibility of man-made origins at this point. It's up in the air, and will be for as long as China withholds lab data. Quote Fauci, director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the federal government’s leading voice on COVID-19, rebutted Paul by saying: "The NIH and NIAID categorically have not funded gain-of-function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology." In an interview with PolitiFact at United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking shortly after the hearing, Fauci called Paul’s accusation "preposterous." "He was saying we funded a kind of research in China that could lead to dangerous research; that’s not the case. So, what he was saying was just absolutely not true," Fauci said. Fauci added: "So, in a very minor collaboration, as part of a subcontract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated is that therefore we were involved in creating the virus, which is the most ridiculous, majestic leap I’ve ever heard of." Asked if he was confident the virus developed naturally, Fauci said, "I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out, to the best of our ability, exactly what happened. ... I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus."
