The antibiotics should do their job by the second dose (tomorrow morning), until then I guess I’ll have to give myself over to that searing, horrible pain every time I swallow my saliva.

He was the kind of person that'd Abmahn a Näherei for writing "Mundschutz" instead of "Mundabdeckung" in our days. I frankly have trouble imagining how these people find pleasure beyond materialism in their existence.

Söder and Reiter said 3 weeks ago this has to be decided in June/July before construction starts at the latest. So they will postpone the decision to the last possible day in July of course, wouldn't want to jump the gun. But it's not gonna happen. That would be insane.

Also they just cited some virologist on the radio who said from an epidemiologist perspective there can't be any big public gathering like soccer games anymore this year. And Oktoberfest dwarfs any kind of public gathering imaginable in Germany so ...

But who knows maybe they desperately want a third wave to hit us after the inevitable second wave we are going to get after they restart school and/or announce Ausgangssperre is over.

Corona comes out of you just by breathing if you have any of it. And in china an infection wave in one apartment tower was started by an aerosol plume being blown over by the wind from another apartment tower. Take no risks.

I'm sorry, but not only I cannot find any source to that story, but I also find it completely outlandish. Even if this happened, how would one find out about this source of infection? Who is doing CSI-like investigations to find this out? Even if this is an official explanation, isn't non-compliance with rules much more likely?

Let's not oliwan-away at the key point of the message, which is "take no risks".

Sporting around in public increases your rate of respiration, and also increases the rate at which you may expel evil Tröpfchen. Studies detailing how there's a correlation between people exhaling while jogging and other people getting infected will probably surface in a year or two, but for now, we don't need studies to tell us that taking precautions and wearing a mask at least decreases the risk of infecting others, regardless of what you're doing.

I saw it on the HK circuit, with professional diagrams, didn't save a link. And uh, as mentioned, this was in china. People there are locked into their buildings and they actually do this kind of CSI tracing stuff.

Anyhow, if this seems outlandish to you then you're lacking information. Purely physicalls speaking it is perfectly viable.


And yeah, what Duzzy says: This isn't a binary on-off, do this thing and get it, do this thing and never get it, situation. There's always a risk and all you can hope to do is move the needle one way or another.
