I drove around Venice this weekend, and while the sheer number of people was drastically down from a normal holiday weekend, every restaurant with an outdoor area to eat was absolutely packed with maybe 1 exception. I expect another explosion in the next two weeks.

In an open letter to the World Health Organisation, 239 scientists from 32 countries have outlined evidence that coronavirus is airborne.

The scientists plan to publish their letter in a scientific journal in the coming months but extracts have already leaked to the New York Times and other media outlets.

The WHO has said that coronavirus is spread through respiratory droplets, expelled when infected people sneeze or exhale.
In their letter, the scientists outlined evidence that even smaller particles are infecting people.

The scientists say they think the virus can linger in the air for long periods and float for several metres, infecting anyone nearby.

I've been trying to convince myself to get out some and go to parks, but fuck all that. hibernation mode til at least 2021.

are you fucking kidding me? i was reading an article just yesterday that going outside in open spaces, away from people would be fairly safe. i was actually planning on taking a walk to my former uni, which i haven't done since february.

It is safe to be outside - except for outside in America since no place is safe there.

Despite the high impact of COVID-19 in Spain, prevalence estimates remain low and are clearly insufficient to provide herd immunity. This cannot be achieved without accepting the collateral damage of many deaths in the susceptible population and overburdening of health systems. In this situation, social distance measures and efforts to identify and isolate new cases and their contacts are imperative for future epidemic control.

I think this put's Spain's IFR at around 1.2% (using official deaths only).

Now that Oregonians are required to wear masks in indoor public spaces to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the state's workplace safety agency is preparing to handle enforcement.

Gov. Kate Brown ordered people to wear face coverings as COVID-19 cases continue to rise sharply in Oregon and elsewhere. She's warned that tighter restrictions on businesses could return if Oregonians don't take the mask requirement to heart.

Oregon Occupational Safety and Health, commonly called OSHA, is already busy investigating thousands of COVID-related complaints at Oregon workplaces.

Since early March, Oregonians have filed roughly 5,500 workplace complaints related to the pandemic. They have reported a variety of concerns, including worries about a lack of space between people and lack of protective gear like gloves.

OSHA officials had by early June already received some complaints about face coverings, including reports of employees not wearing face coverings at a furniture store and at a restaurant, according to spokesman Aaron Corvin.

After fighting with her family for about a month over a giant family reunion she didn’t want to go to was told the whole thing was being cancelled because of the virus. These are people who up until a few days ago believed it to be basically the flu, refused to wear masks and mocked anyone taking it seriously. Seems folks are getting scared finally.

There should have been biweekly televised addresses to the nation between February and... I don't know, maybe March. Clear and unambiguous messaging from the White House filled with all the things people need to know in the first ten minutes and then extra information for those who want it in the next half hour. Here is who's at risk of death. Here is what a "mild" case of the virus looks like (bedridden pneumonia). Here is how to protect yourself and your neighbors. Here is the list of conditions that trigger a lockdown and the conditions that trigger a reopening. Instead what we got were daily jerk off sessions filled with misinformation and defensive posturing. It's so sad and pathetic.

My sister has been sick for days, hasn't gotten better, I told her she needed to get a test before she's over here (where she has stored her shit) due to her at high risk grandmother or at home with our at high risk mom and she had already decided she was going to call her doc for a referral today. Our cousin's wife and kid are also sick and they also swear it's just a sinus thing. I also found out another cousin's wife had been very sick a few weeks back for 3-4 days and her work tested her a few days ago and she tested positive for antibodies. And he was just over here a couple of days ago

Don't let anyone not already in your home into your house! Not even family unless they've shown no sign of symptoms and have been quarantining.

Got an email from my school today

As we prepare for the safe and gradual return to our campuses, the University of Toronto is taking several steps to protect our community and follow public health guidance. Earlier this month, non-medical masks became mandatory for passengers on the TTC. Recently, Toronto City Council approved a new temporary by-law that requires the wearing of a mask or other face covering within enclosed public spaces. Other municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area, including Peel Region have indicated their intention to enact similar rules.

While the new City of Toronto by-law does not apply to post-secondary institutions, the University of Toronto is moving forward with a similar measure that individuals who are in a space in one of our buildings that is normally publicly accessible wear a non-medical mask or face covering. Such spaces may include hallways, lobbies, elevators, meeting rooms, and other common use facilities to which the public normally has access. Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health has advised that this practice is “a necessary, recognized, practical and effective method” to limit the spread of COVID-19 and help protect the safety and well-being of the community. If there are material differences among any requirements that are put in place for University of Toronto Mississauga, members of the community there will be updated at that time.

The new City of Toronto bylaw takes effect on July 7. The new measures at U of T will take effect the same day. U of T will follow the same definition as the City of Toronto by-law, which defines a mask or face covering as a “mask, balaclava, bandana, scarf, cloth or other similar item that covers the nose, mouth and chin without gapping.” The measures would also apply to visitors and contractors in U of T buildings. Relevant signage will be posted.

As previously announced, all faculty, librarians, staff and students will receive two reusable, non-medical masks as part of their return to campus. More information about the distribution of these masks will be provided. Information about the use and care of your U of T non-medical mask can be found on the EHS website.

The mock up image they sent made it look like they have the school logo on them and look high quality. Probably not going to be that cool though.
