No the protests are bigger news so the coronavirus is gone. I went to the gas station today and there were zero people wearing masks.

While children are in the least likely group to be hospitalized for breathing difficulties there are a number of unique ways COVID-19 presents in pediatric cases and parents should absolutely be vigilant about keeping their kids from getting it if at all possible. We have absolutely no way of knowing at this point what the long term ramifications of this illness is on development, especially with mounting evidence of vascular and neurological effects. Ok. I've literally only said it right here in this thread so no harm done, thank you for your post. I'll leave medical comments to those in the field.

My point is I've wondered why nose plugs aren't a ppe, specifically the soft kind that go in ears, but designed for nostrils. If only the mouth has to be covered because nostrils are plugged then that mouth mask could provide a FAR better seal. Seems that only having one respitory entryway to the head rather than 3 would be a good thing. ?

My tentative understanding is that inhalation thru the nose perhaps causes worse illness. (In sum, for sake of discussion) Also perhaps lungs perhaps gives better chance of fighting the infection? Not a doctor, but I imagine it's just because of how difficult it already is to breathe with a mask, let alone with your sinuses completely filled, this is my assumption anyways

Mate, no, your nose is full of hairs and poo poo to catch foreign particles. Not that they'll catch covid, but you sure as poo poo aren't getting it stuck in your teeth.

I've been incredibly surprised that here in Texas (of all places) I probably see 90% of people wearing masks at grocery stores. It's crazy to think that some people just can't be bothered to ENDURE such a minutia of discomfort for the safety of others.

Some of my family is starting to succumb to "but I want to have FUN this summer  " and I don't think they know that the virus is not a person, it doesn't care if you are having fun or notYknow what you also can wear comfortably for 8-12 hours? A mask

People are too complacent, their memories are too short, and they are (in Alberta) too fed up with the lockdown which never really existed here. Same. Here in Victoria we've only had 127 confirmed cases in our Health Region and only one (1) remaining active case. Which is great, but it means folks here were never really worried despite huge geriatric population. It's a Vancouver problem, not a Victoria problem. Folks follow the physical distancing guidelines to line up and stuff, but since masks were never a requirement most people don't use them. Even our loony 'lockdown' protesters pretty much followed physical distancing. https://www.victoriabuzz.com/2020/05/totally-overblown-small-group-protests-covid-19-lockdown-at-b-c-legislature-in-victoria/ quote:Duncan resident Karin Forrest says she originally started began protesting against COVID-19 lockdown measures on the Legislature grounds a few weeks ago, after seeing a similar movement in Surrey.  Here's Karen protesting mandatory vaccination for a vaccine we don't have yet.   Aren't we quaint?

My tentative understanding is that inhalation thru the nose perhaps causes worse illness. (In sum, for sake of discussion) Also perhaps lungs perhaps gives better chance of fighting the infection? This actually brings up an interesting point as far as how COVID-19 infects. Your nose is much better at filtering crap out before it gets to your lungs than you mouth is - in some cases this can be a problem (eg people with seasonal allergies or sinus related issues tend to have a higher susceptibility to sinus infections) but for COVID-19 this is not the case. There may be a social perception that nose breathing has a higher infection rate but I expect this is attributable to most people being nose-breathers (so as a higher percentage of the pool, it would make sense for them to have more infections). Looping back to my first sentence, COVID-19 preferentially attaches to cells on ACE2-receptors - these exist all over your body, but they're fairly surface exposed and in relatively high concentration in lung cells, which is why for most people the manifestation of the virus is there. The receptors are also in heart cells, blood vessels, digestive tract, kidneys, and so on, but you do also have some in sinus epithelial cells. Some studies have suggested that part of why children don't have as severe respiratory symptoms is a lesser distribution of ACE2-receptors in the sinuses and lungs (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2766522) but it's probably too early to know for sure.

I think it speaks to the quality of the mandatory French education in Canada and how little anyone here actually pays attention to the national anthem that like, nobody I knew noticed that the French version's lyrics actually translated to something entirely different until high school. Keep in mind this was after eight years of year long French classes. I could conjugate the poo poo out of a handful of verbs though so, mission accomplished? In my defense, at the time early French education mostly consisted of videos of this monstrosity:

Vakal posted:Because no one outside of Ontario or Quebec gives a poo poo about learning French. Based on my experience you can cross Ontario off that list as well. Like I blame a combination of the way it was taught and lack of exposure. There was no focus on actually speaking or understanding spoken French. Just rote memorization of vocabulary and conjugating verbs. So even if there was a lot of exposure to French media or some compelling reason to comprehend spoken French outside of a classroom a couple times a week, the way they teach it leaves you completely unprepared for that. Like I've heard from more than one Dutch person that while yeah, they had English classes at some point, their real teacher was English versions of the Simpsons and similar North American media.
