PA is lot farther than half an hour for me.Bethlehem is about 72 miles away.Pearl River,NY is about 35 or so,but that one may not be re-opening.Still,this is tantamount to saying:"Why do people need indoor plumbing?Why can't they just go on the street as they do in San Fran?"
Surgical masks really suck in terms of fit and comfort. I've found Korean k94 masks to be the best fitting and most comfortable. Their performance is only slightly below the n95.
Yup a lot of people in Florida had it, explains their huge numbers of deaths.
And now why hospitalizations and cases are going down. Following the NY/NJ trend
How did you manage that? I started having neck and shoulder issues because I wasn't doing enough back and over developed chest and tris.
Mountain biking and swimming maybe helps? To be honest I've never heard of this before but will look into it because you don't mess around with the back.
One thing I do know is most times that I have had back issues from workouts (strained muscles, pinched nerves) was a resort of bad form, 10 years ago when kettle bells were the happening thing I used them as a big part of my workout, I still don't know what I did to my back but after a couple weeks I could only sleep in a sitting position on my couch. The swinging of them back and forth between your legs took a fast and hard toll, never touched a kettle bell again.
This could be a game changer! Instant results ... 25 cents a test!

I bought a 10 pack of KN95 masks as I am eventually going to start travelling for work again. They were $3 each and definitely feel as though they are blocking out more stuff than a cloth one. But I found they smelled very unpleasant, moreso after a few short uses like shopping. Anyone found a brand that smells good?
Some Koreans vendors gave me a handfull including 3different brands. None smell. Also bought some off Amazon and they also are smell free. I'll post when I get a chance.
Be careful as there are a lot of KN95s out there that do not pass filtration standards. In fact, many of them work poorly. I use these guys as they are the sole US distributor of Guangzhou Powecom Labor Insurance Supplies Co., LTD KN95s which are FDA EU authorized for use as PPE.

If you are smart you do. They know what’s hot or not in their profession. What do you think all those Ivy analysts are doing all day? Of course they have intel.
...and you all thought that murphy's mask declarations were strict...
I have to sign up at 12:01 am each night online to get one of the few afternoon solo appointments in my gym. Many times there gone already.
How does "Greg" think JPMChase et al makes pharma stock calls--using liberal arts majors? LOL #Clueless
Will actually agree with you here. Folks should look into what they have to say about climate change and things that are going to play out in two decades or so.
The Legislature must have passed a Truth In Necrology law when I wasn't looking.Murphy is now giving time frames in which the deaths have occurred.We had only 6 deaths over the past 5 days.As any one of a number of old Jewish comedians may have said:"For this you shut down the state?"
Melbourne's lockdown 'the worst-ever violation of Aussie freedom'
Free market think-tank The Institute of Public Affairs has called the city's stage-four restrictions 'the greatest incursion into our basic liberties ever on Australian soil'.
What in the f*** is going on down under? They don't have that many cases and have better mask compliance than the US. There is nothing there to warrant this kind of response. The SDMA for cases is less than 300 for the ENTIRE COUNTRY and never went higher than 552! That's better than NJ, yet they are in the strictest lockdown in the entire world currently.

They are scared , frightened and in a major panic!
6 announced today. The other day alone had 7 in one day, they just likely have not been processed yet by DOH

Thanks for the recommendations and clarification. These were the ones I got, they definitely seem like they do the job. The smell isn't awful, just mildly unpleasant. But I have a sensitive nose.

Ya, as Greg notes what we are seeing with so few recent official deaths in NJ is likely a lag due to processing of the information.
We have noted similar processing lags on this board for awhiles now, whether if be in FL, in AZ, or on the CDC site.
I also think the argument of "why are we closing the economy when only this amount have died" is extremely faulty as we don't know how many would die if we didn't have these restrictions. We do know it would be more then what we are now seeing.

What Australia has chosen to do is stop the spread very early on instead of waiting until hospitals are filled and the deaths are piling up. As you note they were able to curb the rise in cases(and subsequently hospitalizations and deaths) at a relatively low number.Melbourne's lockdown 'the worst-ever violation of Aussie freedom'

New study finds very weak asymptomatic coronavirus transmission
The study’s authors conclude not only that asymptomatic transmitters compose only a tiny slice of the spread, but that the rate of transmission increases with the severity of the illness, further validating the strategy of focusing on the sick, not the healthy:
The study’s authors conclude not only that asymptomatic transmitters compose only a tiny slice of the spread, but that the rate of transmission increases with the severity of the illness, further validating the strategy of focusing on the sick, not the healthy:
Researchers also found, as other studies have already concluded, that most of the secondary infections occurred among household members. Thus, putting together the low rate of asymptomatic transmission with the fact that most cases (of all severity levels) are spread in the home, why should we destroy our civilization over the concern of asymptomatic spread? Where is the evidence that a non-symptomatic individual merely passing someone for a few seconds in a store will transmit the virus?
Coronavirus hospitalizations down to lowest levels of pandemic. So where is our exit strategy?
As of August 13, according to the CDC’s surveillance program, those with coronavirus-like illness (CLI) are just 1.8 percent of emergency department visits, which matches the June 6 level before the surge in the South. In early July, it was up to 4.3%.
Those numbers have bottomed out even lower than May levels, even in the South. Coronavirus patients make up fewer than 3 percent of patients in every region of the country. According to the AP, “Florida reported about 3,900 new cases of the coronavirus Sunday, the lowest daily total in nearly two months.” ER visits for COVID-like illness are down 63% since the peak in July.
Arizona has long been past its peak, even though the media continues to act as if the state is on fire. Arizona’s hospital census is the lowest it has been since June 3. And although Mondays are usually light reporting days, the state reported zero deaths yesterday and fewer than 500 new cases.
In Texas, hospitalizations are down 43 percent from the July 22 peak and declining rapidly. Even the border counties, which were hit harder than almost anywhere in the country, have declined after a tough July.
Clearly, the southern states barely got exposed to the virus early on in the spring and have now reached their degree of saturation. Except, contrary to the predictions by panicked commentators of multiple New York-level death traps being replicated all over the country, these states kept the situation under control without anything near New York’s level of death and panic.
As my friend Ian Miller pointed out, on April 13, in New York and New Jersey combined, a population of 28.2 million had 26,606 COVID hospitalizations. Today, Arizona, California, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with a combined population of 108 million, have 21,971 COVID patients. And remember, we are better now at identifying the full population of COVID cases than we were in March.
Herd immunity will be achieved at roughly 20 percent in most places
What’s becoming clear is that every major population area is going to achieve this 15%-20% threshold whether they like it or not.

There have been questions on this board about why more attention isn't being given to Rutgers' saliva test. The Washington Post does mention it and other saliva tests in its covid-19 summary. But it says:
Saliva tests are more convenient and safe on the front end, but could still meet roadblocks because they require access to a certified lab, and would not speed up testing in areas without those facilities or where labs are already overwhelmed. This is likely why there hasn't been more fanfare over the saliva test's development.

Given this is a Horowitz article I assume this does not include presymptomatic, which is when people are most contagious.New study finds very weak asymptomatic coronavirus transmission

excellent read, thanks.
I understand that, but they have essentially suspended their constitution for medical martial law. If this is how they are going to treat this virus going forward (i.e. instituting martial law every time the SDMA rises above 100-200 daily cases), their society is going to collapse. We saw how close this was to happening in Wuhan and the greater Hubei province in China. The virus is endemic at this point, and will be omnipresent to a degree even with a vaccine. This policy will kill them long term, these types of lockdowns are unsustainable as we have already found out.
I've harped on it in the past, but history has shown us for over a thousand years that when power of this magnitude is obtained (even if initially out of perceived necessity) it is rarely fully rescinded. Once the precedent is set, it becomes significantly easier to curtail freedoms over increasingly smaller issues.
