We already know that you are an alchoholic

Its probably spread through airborne transmission anyway, and we probably are all using droplet precautions because that's what's available.

according to who? and why are some of the asian countries (even the poorer ones that did NOT have the testing and tracing infrastructure like south korea) that were very diligent about masks so successful in preventing its spread?

i mean, i'm not saying you're definitely wrong, but that particular difference is certainly not explained by social distancing.

Ironically our mask use is better than most of the rest of the world, definitely Europe. Back in start of April when mask use was voluntary/not mandatory, mask use was in the 80%'s, higher than pretty much all of Europe. The best way is to make it voluntary with an incentive.

citation needed. that sounds like complete bullshit tbh. let me guess: some random dude on facebook claimed it, and you uncritically accepted it as 'fact', because it fit your science-denier agenda, right?

You could use coffins nails to fix mask correctly on your mouth.

Iirc, there were a lot of studies coming out over the past 2 months which showed that aerosol transmission (as opposed to droplets) plays a significant and bigger role than previously thought. (Although droplets were still found to be the bigger contributer to the spread than aerosols.)




This but unironically. I was thinking of something similar to the movie "The Purge".

Separate the elderly and people from the risk groups, give them several weeks to prepare themselves for several months of strict quarantine. Then, quarantine them for 2-3 months while all the other, young/healthy folks go out and party like there's no tomorrow and intentionally try to get infected asap, hoping that 2 or so months are enough for (almost) all of them to have been infected. With exponential growth, this timeframe might be workable. Afterwards, society should be at or at least very near herd immunity and could go on with life as normal. Immunity will not last forever, but it should be long enough to cover the 10-18 months until a vaccine arrives.

This would of course be a deeply cynical and extremely high risk approach, and yes, some very few unlucky fellas from the "spread" group would die or end up with lasting impairments, but the overall death toll and the overall damage to the economy and social life might unironically be lower than with our current "muddle through and pray"-approach.

The citizen scientists, associated with Harvard University, have been testing the vaccine on themselves.
