    :D Though that setup would protect you way more effectively than some paper type facemask. If this does go full poo hitting the propeller other options outside the box would be military surplus gas masks(post 90's, so no asbestos) and smoke hoods. Both would be cheap, less than 20-30 quid. And you have it left over for halloween. :D

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Hmmmm, I wonder is he. Tbh, it is an important question as it might show how susceptible the Chinese government is to the people's 'grief and anger'

    The number of deaths outside the epicenter is surprisingly low for the numbers infected - basically anyone over 80 is fecked but...I suppose they are still a ways behind Wuhan infections and deaths

    What I know, Cathay pacific will be in deep trouble if flights don't resume to normal schedule very soon. Hency why they told employees no pay for x3 weeks. Cebu pacific have lost over 100million in revenue. Klm and air France group have 10 wide body aircraft grounded loosing in the region of 100mill per day. All foreign chi a southern pilots have been let go, China easterns also. And I think all flights except one freight route between China and the US has stopped.

    Also reminds me of the Fever Hospitals in WW2.

    So, what's the general consensus ...is something being witheld by China, from the media?

    Going by past history - I really dont have much confidence in any of the figures on the infection and mortality rates coming out of China. A lot of the Chinese goverment control is about citizens not causing the state embarrassment. I think that's going to return and bite them tbh.

    suggestion that Asians are more susceptible

    https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.26.919985v1.full
    We also noticed that the only Asian donor (male) has a much higher ACE2-expressing cell ratio than white and African American donors (2.50% vs. 0.47% of all cells). This might explain the observation that the new Coronavirus pandemic and previous SARS-Cov pandemic are concentrated in the Asian area.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Not very comfortable to wear though ;) A ffp3 mask (unless you have an odd shaped nose), a pair of goggles and disposable gloves are the best bet for something like this

    ..the trend over the last few nights is that the numbers will jump up again within an hour of when these numbers are posted......usually another 5-600 added...so lets see if that happens again tonight

    They actually are very comfortable, pump forces air into the mask causing negative pressure, also very cooling when working in hot weather.

    1,000 extra patients in Hubei now in serious and critical conditions in just one day, wonder how the hospitals manage with that

    While you are working I guess? But you are going to wear it long term and while you go around doing your daily life? I was actually referring to just gas masks anyway, they are enough to give you a literal pain in your neck

    If I am correct that will be above 50000 by Sunday night based on the trend?

    I hope they are going to run some more tests after that, considering one patient took four tests before getting a positive reading of the virus.

    A 25% increase in serious/critical is very worrying after bringing in all the extra beds to leave the hospitals for the worse patients

    Obviously not indoors but if I had to go out shopping and the risks had risen then yeah I would happily wear it.

    That's possibly just extra bed capacity coming on board following the new hospital which is allowing the hospitals to admit more serious/critical cases (as opposed to there being more)

    Have people seen the new quarantine centre videos? These look horrific for people with mild symptoms
