I got some interesting off-line feedback. Apparently, NO ONE in rural areas wears masks, and not wearing mandated masks is turning out to be a statement of resistance to governmental authority. One survey found that less than half wore masks. Hence, bringing out the N95 masks in the National Strategic Reserve probably will NOT work - unless we get a REALLY bad mutation, like one that kills almost everyone.
So, will the city-dwelling government realize this and not pass out the masks, or will they crash and burn with this plan? Other alternatives, like distributing the masks to the vulnerable, or waiting for a bad mutation, are still there. *Steve* On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 6:06 PM Steve Richfield <steve.richfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > WOW, some really insightful responses both on-line and off-line, leading > to further realizations... > > The goal of analyses like I made is to guide DECISIONS based on > DETERMINATIONS made about the incoming data.
