Watched a great series a number of years back by Steven Hawking about humans and he talked about why we may never meet other advanced races, aka star trek stuff. His comment was that advanced species will eventually kill themselves off before they manage interstellar space travel- bear that in mind while you read this

Brilliant analysis Diane, as always !

That said . . . China is guilty . . . OK

But we in the western democracies are guilty of ignorance. Our media in Canada was still having Op Ed debate over mask wearing on the first Saturday of July (Globe and Mail). In March I sent this to The Globe, The Post and The Sun . . .

Early laboratory tests have proven COVID-19 can become an aerosol. Those tests conducted by The US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases were very specific. Very artificial. Very “worst-case” scenario.

Even then, COVID-19 wasn’t anywhere near the league of measles. Half its particles fell out of the air within 2.7 hours. It was almost entirely gone after a day.

. . . In Other words . . . The 50% of the Covid-19 Virus remains in your wake after you have walked in front of me and . . . I will be breathing in - what you exhaled - up to 2.7 hours after you walked - where I am about to go . . .

This is what is causing the unprecedented wide spread infection . . . in spite of SOCIAL DISTANCING . . . !!!! BREATHING WHERE AN INFECTED PERSON WAS !!

Case in point - one young man in South Korea went to 6 bars in 1 night and infected hundreds of other patrons. This could not have been stopped with hand washing . . .

Masks, masks . . . MASKS . . . The only reliable limit to the spread of COVID-19 . . . Until we have the vaccine . . .

If I knew this 14 months ago . . . WHY did our media NOT spread the word ?

Blame the world Governments all day long . . . But we are all guilty of willful ignorance and neglect.
