Coronavirus Face Masks: Types & When to Use | Johns Hopkins Medicine


On May 13, 2021, the CDC revised safety guidelines for those who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The CDC continues to recommend that masks and physical distancing are required when going to the doctor’s office, hospitals or long-term care facilities, including all Johns Hopkins hospitals, care centers and offices.

Johns Hopkins Medicine’s current mask safety guidelines have not changed, and we still require all individuals to wear masks inside all of our facilities.

The liberal governments are unsuccessfully offering incentives to people to get them to get vaccinated. Maybe they should get Pfizer to offer a 90 day supply of one of their other products, Viagra. Might bring in a lot of middle aged and older men and their wives.

L.A. County coronavirus spike hits alarming levels, with 10,000 infected in a week, as Delta variant spreads


Los Angeles County is now recording more than 10,000 coronavirus cases a week — a pace not seen since March — an alarming sign of the dangers the Delta variant poses to people who have not been vaccinated and heightening pressure on health officials to reverse the trend.


A Los Angeles Times data analysis found L.A. County was recording 101 weekly coronavirus cases for every 100,000 residents, up from 12 for the seven-day period that ended June 15. That means the county has surpassed the threshold to have "high" community transmission of the disease, the worst tier as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A region must hit 100 or more weekly cases per 100,000 residents to enter the worst tier.


It's still far fewer than during the deadly winter surge, when L.A. County was recording more than 1,000 weekly cases for every 100,000 residents, but it underscores growing concerns that unvaccinated people are at heightened risk.


The rise here and elsewhere is the reason why 11 counties — home to more than half of Californians — are urging all residents regardless of vaccination status to wear masks in indoor public settings. So far, L.A. County is the only county to make it a requirement, while much of the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as Sacramento, Fresno and Yolo counties, have made the plea a recommendation.


The primary rationale for a mandatory mask policy in indoor public settings is to get unvaccinated people to start wearing their masks again, reducing the risk of disease transmission until new infections decline.


Officials believe many unvaccinated people stopped wearing masks at the same time vaccinated people did so, even though uninoculated people are still under orders to continue wearing face coverings. Of new coronavirus cases in L.A. County over a recent six-month period, 99.6% involved people who have not been vaccinated.


COVID-19 hospitalizations in L.A. County have also doubled in the last three weeks, from 255 on June 28 to 528 on Saturday — a number not seen since April. That means the county is now reporting more than 5 people in the hospital for COVID-19 for every 100,000 residents, a threshold that some experts say could be a reasonable trigger for instituting stricter mask measures.

I think illegal immigration can be blamed for the spike in Texas and California. Biden is literally killing folks with his open border policy.

Dow tumbles 700 points for its worst drop since October as investors fear a Covid resurgence




U.S. stocks fell aggressively Monday on concern a rebound in Covid cases would slow global economic growth. The selling picked up as the session went on, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its worst day since last October.


The Dow dropped 725.81 points, or 2.1%, to 33,962.04 in a broad-based rout that sent all 30 members lower. At one point during the session, the Dow was down 946 points before recovering some ground into the close.


The S&P 500 fell 1.6% to 4,258.49. Energy, financials and industrials were the worst-performing sectors.


The tech-dominated Nasdaq Composite slid 1.1% to 14,274.98, posting its fifth-straight day of losses and worst losing streak since October.


The 10-year Treasury yield reached a five-month low of 1.17%, exacerbating fears about the slowing economy. The small-cap Russell 2000 dropped 1.5% and briefly dipped into correction territory on an intraday basis - down more than 10% from its March high.


“You have two concerns coming together ... concerns about market technicals and concerns about growth,” Allianz chief economic advisor Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday. “That’s what all the asset classes are telling you.”




Covid cases have rebounded in the U.S. this month, with the delta variant spreading among the unvaccinated. The U.S. is averaging nearly 26,000 new cases a day in the last seven days through Sunday, up from a seven-day average of around 11,000 cases a day a month ago, according to CDC data. Cases were already flaring up around the world because of the delta variant.


The Cboe Volatility Index surged as high as 25 amid the broad market sell-off, its highest level since May. The so-called fear gauge looks at prices of options on the S&P 500 to track the level of fear on Wall Street.

Airlines got hit as investors reassessed whether travel among consumers would live up to high expectations, with shares of Delta and American sinking about 4% each. United lost 5%.


Key stocks linked to global economic growth also fell. Boeing shed 5%, and General Motors and Caterpillar dropped about 2% each.


“The market appears ready to take on a more defensive character as we experience a meaningful deceleration in earnings and economic growth,” Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist Mike Wilson said in a note Monday. “Market breadth has been deteriorating for months and is just another confirmation of the mid-cycle transition, in our view. It usually ends with a material (10-20%) index level correction.”


Wilson advised clients to buy staples such as Mondelez International to weather the decline.

All the doctors offices I have repaired machines at and the ones I walk past going to my calls, No one is wearing masks. I would think if it is as bad as they are saying that at least doctors would be wearing masks. They must know something that they are not telling us.
