Breaking News: Important News about the Transmission Factors for COVID-19

NPR announced today that 250 Scientists all throughout the world wrote a petition to the World Health Organization (WHO) about the  fact that the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted not only by mouth droplets but also by breath aerosols.  

What does this mean? 

It means that when you are out and about someone walking by you might have COVID-19 and their just breathing out of a non-approved mask the virus has the ability to "aerosols" or stay in the air for a period of time.  

This changes everything!

If I am going to be teaching face-to-face in the Fall (and it looks like I may), I am going to have an industrial sized wind fan in front of me. Not kidding! It will be the only way you'll get me in the classroom.

The scientist who was being interviewed said that he has submitted his finding to a medical journal about this so it is based in fact. When I get more specific facts I will update this with those facts!

Just wanted to get this important information out today.

NEW INFORMATION from ABC News:

  • 130,000 COVID-19 deaths

  • Young college-aged partying harder with no masks.

  • Anthony Faucci says, “We are headed in the wrong directions!”

  • Coronavirus stays in the air  inside longer.

  • 8 states with more than 100,000+ cases

  • Mayor of Atlanta and family have the virus.

  • Florida most cases are young people, many dying, 21 or younger.

Is the Indoor Air You Are Breathing Safe?

The following article is a summary of what was written by Camila Domonoske on WAMC.org and originally published  on Aug 24, 2020.   (Source:  https://www.wamc.org/post/we-return-work-and-school-during-pandemic-can-air-inside-be-kept-safe ) Across America, buildings are opening back up — offices, schools, theaters, stores, restaurants — even as evidence mounts that the coronavirus circulates through the air we breathe. This means that building owners should be asking  what they can do to make sure that  their  building doesn't spread the virus.                                                                          T here are ways to reduce the risk, and e xperts warn building managers to be cautious of anyone selling them any air-purifying device or super-strong filter ...

The Stress Solution

I have been either walking or biking every day since all of this Coronavirus has started. Because I have been doing daily aerobic activity I have been sleeping better, having better daily blood sugar results, and less anxiety We all are going through daily MSDs ( Micro-Stress-Doses ) every minute of every day due to this virus. Human beings are not constructed to deal with MSDs in a pro-longed state. When that happens it can turn into chronic diseases like arthritis, cardiac disease, diabetes 2, depression, high blood pressure and other chroniuc conditions.

It's a great book and I guarantee you would benefit from Dr. Chatterjee's sage advice. In this book Dr. Chatterjee talks about a complete re...
