Ft Worth now mandates wearing a mask

[HRSchenker]

Once this whole pandemic thing is over I hope we fire the Surgeon General. He goes from "do not wear a mask" to "wear a mask" to "don't wear a mask unless you've been exposed" back to "wear a mask no matter what" within 2 months. Can you really blame people for being upset when the government just can't make up their mind?

Has the government ever actually done a thing well or efficiently?

Extort and waste taxpayers money.

Basically yes, so why do we expect them to handle public safety when there's any kind of disease outbreak?

Pretty good at choosing which laws are arbitrarily enforced ...

Agreed. Dan “red flag laws are ok” Crenshaw.

You be the judge. Try this if you have a fingertip oxygen saturation sensor.
Measure your O2 level.
Put on a facemask and recheck your O2 level after 10 minutes and 20 minutes with the mask on.

So next they order you to wear a strait jacket in public. Guess you think that will be fine.

I never said I thought it was fine. I was just stating a fact.

Are the RI's down because the Covid-19 diagnosis takes precedent? Are doctors still testing for other RI's other than Covid-19?

Yes and yes. Yes, if you are thought to have a COVID infection, you are isolated. Yes doctors are still testing for the flu and the benign corona viruses. I expect our regular respiratory viral panels will ultimately have all viruses including COVID-19.

We have more cases in the hospital locally than before.

Do you know why that is the case?

Probably cause no one is social distancing for due to large gatherings, apathy, or disbelief, and the people the are wearing masks aren’t doing it in a way to actually do anything (won’t keep their face covered, keep touching everything and their face).

Everyone going to the hospital is screened for symptoms, and some are tested for either/both anti-bodies or active disease. If someone is positive (for whatever that means) for any of the above, they are counted as a COVID hospitalization.

Ex: momma has a planned C-section. Hospital policy says all maternity patients have to be screened and tested for both. Momma comes back positive for the anti-bodies, which means at some point in the past, she had the virus (or one of the other four coronavirus’, because not all AB tests can differentiate). Momma never showed any symptoms, may have just had a common cold,
Is at the hospital for a planned C-section, and is advertised to the public as a COVID hospitalization.

I took a shit at a shell station in Fort Worth recently where a mask was an absolute necessity..

Yeah but you want a P-100 plus OV filter for that stuff.

And depending on the statistics, she is counted once for each positive test. That's clear on some charts and not others. For example, from what I understand of the "confirmed cases" count that is published by my county (and depending on which count you look at), it's simply a total of all positive test results. If someone took one test in march, two tests in april, one test in may, and four tests in june, that is counted as eight.

Now don't apply that logic to all of the charts and numbers - there are usually disclaimers in the fine print that give these kinds of details for any particular chart. Just remember that the fine print is important and often does not support the claims made on the news.

....and baby will be counted as presumed positive before tested.
