Wondering when they will acknowledge the differing strains going around.  Saw an article the other day where China had an order man with a mutated strain that was less virulent but was chronic.  He was infectious far longer than anyone so far and his covid keeps coming back repeatedly

Sometime in early mid Feb I posted an article relating to a study that showed the virus was airborne for up to several hundred yards. Of course it was a Chinese study but then again they have been studying the virus longer. And they have been wearing masks to prevent infection from the virus and curb it's spread and have been successful to some  large extent as a result.

Look I keep saying that NYC is screwed because all of those old apartment buildings are allowing the spread of the virus through the duct systems, just like Legionaries.   That is why NYC is in such bad shape and will not come out of it any time soon.  

Lucky that some cities like St. Louis tore down most of the old apartment buildings in downtown St. Louis when I was a kid.   

If the people of NYC figured this out they would be leaving NYC like rats on a sinking ship...lucky they do not pay attention or they would be spreading the virus as they left NYC.

Here in the NE weather is finally pleasant,usually outside doing yard work,for me it is like meditation,now neighbors all around are not distancing themselves,outside all day,in and out all day driving though we have a SIP.with this airborne It's only a matter of time before they get sick,or are they asymptomatic? 6,10,20 or 100 ft drift who knows what is true anymore.I don't feel comfortable being outside sharing the air. Am I being paranoid or realilistic? The first blush of light this morning I am out on my patio enjoying the fresh air,birds and squirrels in peace and quiet,no one around.Once everyone is out back inside for me. This sucks.....

Go out as the sun rises.  It's what I do.  Not a soul on the street.  Not even people walking their dogs.
