Cozumel COVID-19 updates

That’s an odd reply...lol...yes, I wear one and that protects you...you wear one and that protects me

But most don't care enough for those around them.

It seems the masks mostly protect others, not the person wearing so much, so it's an illustrated failure of the Golden Rule. I wear mine anytime in public.

We could control this bug in weeks if everyone did.

No we cannot control this in weeks, or months or years by wearing masks. We may be able to flatten the curve by wearing masks.

Is this an inaccurate representation? If we could get it down to 1.5% transmission, I think we could control it.

Won't change my routine, either. I always wear a mask whenever I am outside my house or car. Period.

People who do anything different are the reason why we are in such terrible shape.

Do you wear the mask outside if nobody is close to you?

Reality is somewhere in the middle. Masks alone will not eradicate the disease, but reducing the transmission rate (as masks demonstrably do) will reduce the total number of infections over time.

I can't say whether the numbers are accurate, but it is obviously better to have two masks than one between the infected and the uninfected.

See post #147 for more information about how these numbers are generated and why they may seem low or the the percentages unusual.

QRoo Governor Carlos Joaquin will announce statewide COVID-19 semaphore status at 8pm this evening. Currently all of Quintana Roo is "orange", allowing limited reopening at generally 30% of capacity.

 

[DandyDon]

Following Wet's daily postings of numbers casually, not graphing or keeping notes, I was kinda accustomed to about 40 new cases a day. If anyone is graphing or keeping notes, hasn't there been a recent growth? The last two days saw over 200 new cases in the state, which really means like 2,000.

That is inaccurate in that there are no numbers established for effectiveness. But wearing a mask can significantly reduce transmission.
