Please wear a mask to help reduce transmission. thanks!At least we understand your level of thought and reasoning now.
Enjoy your day!
If the virus came through the food market, it is suspected that many of the workers in Wuhan lab actually stole animals from the lab and sold in that wet market for a little cash. It seems that the virus itself may be a genetically modified cold virus that a bat might carry, but more likely wasn't the culprit. There were reportedly no bats known in that market at the time of the outbreak. China has tried to blame both the US and Australia for the outbreak.The Chinese told everyone, the virus came from a food market.
Masks help reduce transmission of the virus. Please wear a mask. Thanks!Maybe if you would quit trying to convince people that mask are the cure all to end all. You would not be as tired
respirators with exhalation valves protect the HCP (health care personnel) and their presence may increase the risk to the patient. The significance of this risk has not been evaluated. (NIH). The risk to others according to the article is similar than cloth masks. The article was written 08/20 and studies are still ongoing. I think the "Studies are ongoing" is the key here. Demystifying theoretical concerns involving respirators with exhalation valves during COVID-19 pandemic (nih.gov)Regarding N95 respirators with exhalation valves:
"We have not been able to identify any peer-reviewed studies to support the recommendation to ban masks or respirators with exhalation valves."

We wear the mask to comply with the law. I know a number of friends and relatives who have had Covid and all of them were wearing masks when shopping or at work as required by their bosses...even a truck driver wearing his mask in his truck by himself. absurd as that obviously is. Social distancing is probably more effective but how long can society function trying to distance themselves from everything?Masks help reduce transmission of the virus.
I am afraid my cynicism leads me to suggest more studies will result in more confusion and even less reliability upon these pseudo-scientists on both sides. I am not impressed by the quality of the published articles I have seen in the "trades". They are long on speculation and stretch in interpretations and a short-term, limited participant study is rather meaningless in terms of statistical 'proofs' since any study could be an outlier- either way.I think the "Studies are ongoing" is the key here.
Which imo. May be a bigger problem than recognized. Current data shows that majority of transmission is inside (mostly in homes). With newer homes being more airtight. Fresh air intake is very limited. So if someone is infected and shedding virus. It just keeps on recirculating. Only a limited number of available air filters stop a virus. Plus they can restrict air flow and possibly damage hvac systems. I use a uv-c unit in my plenum. Assume it works. Since uv-c exposure is known to kill virusesAvoiding central recirculating heat and air systems even more so
i heard the virus came from pangolins obtained in the wet market, but WHO is still researching the exact source(s). Also the molecular structure of the virus rules out that it was man made.If the virus came through the food market, it is suspected that many of the workers in Wuhan lab actually stole animals from the lab and sold in that wet market for a little cash. It seems that the virus itself may be a genetically modified cold virus that a bat might carry, but more likely wasn't the culprit.

Coronavirus originated in bungled experiments at Wuhan lab, bombshell report claims | Daily Mail Online
Another researcher reported
- In 2012, six miners working in a bat-infested copper mine in southern China (Yunnan province) were infected with a bat coronavirus. All of them developed symptoms exactly like COVID-19 symptoms. Three of them died.
- Viral samples taken from the Yunnan miner were taken to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the only level 4 biosecurity lab in China that was also studying bat coronaviruses.
- The WIV carried out gain of function research, almost certainly on these and a range of related and other samples (which is different than genetically engineering the viruses). Chimeric viruses were likely developed in this process. There has never been a full and public accounting for what viruses are in the WIV sample set and database, and key elements of the database have been taken off line or deleted.
- Given the close relationship of the Chinese Peoples’ Liberation Army (PLA) in the development and constriction of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, it is fair to assume a connection between the PLA and the WIV.
- In late 2019 the SARS-CoV-2 virus appeared in Wuhan. The closest known relative of this virus is the RaTG13 virus sampled from the Yunnan mine where the miners had been infected.
- The difference between the RaTG13 virus and SARS-CoV-2 could potentially be explained by the gain of function research pushing the development of chimeric viruses.
- It is also plausible that SARS-CoV-2 could have been among the viruses held in or derived from a different virus in the WIV repository.
- In the earliest known stage of the outbreak, the virus was already very well-adapted to human cells.
- In the critical first weeks after the outbreak, Wuhan authorities worked aggressively to silence the whistleblowers and destroy evidence that could prove incriminating.
- When Beijing authorities got involved a bit later, they likely faced a choice of implicating the Wuhan authorities, and, in effect, taking blame for what was quickly emerging as a major global problem, or turning into the curve and going all in for the coverup. I believe they likely chose the second option.
