Don't be a bsm2 type idiot thinking a mask will protest you. It won't. They were not designed to stop viruses. If you want to protect yourself then keep a distance of at least 12 feet between you and anyone you do not know do not have the virus.Originally Posted by bsm2

Hundreds of new homeless turn UWS into a spectacle of drugs and harassment: residents

Upper West Side residents say three hotels that are housing hundreds of homeless men during the coronavirus pandemic have turned the area into a spectacle of public urination, catcalling and open drug use.
Among those staying at the luxury Belleclaire on Broadway and the Lucerne on West 79th Street, and the more down-market Belnord on West 87th Street, are people who are mentally ill, recovering from drug addictions, and registered sex offenders.
Ten sex offenders are staying in a single hotel — the Belleclaire, which is just one block from the playground of PS 87.
“It doesn’t feel safe anymore,” nanny Michele McDowall, 39, told The Post.
She said she was recently offered crack by a pair of homeless men as she wheeled a toddler along Riverside Park at 79th Street.
“You want to buy crack?” she said they shouted repeatedly as she hurried past, and as the frightened 2-year-old girl in the stroller put her hands over her ears and cried, “Too loud!”
The homeless men have been moved from dorm-style shelters around the city so they can be sheltered one or two to a room to better protect them from COVID-19, officials explain.
“In order to defuse that ticking time bomb, we implemented a massive emergency relocation of human beings from those congregate shelters throughout the city, more than 10,000 in about eight weeks,” Department of Homeless Services Commissioner Steven Banks said Thursday.

But neighbors say that now a new bomb is ticking in and around the three hotels. They are three out of 139 hotels being used to house homeless in the city, a source connected to the Hotel Association of New York City told The Post.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on the relocations, the source said — 75 percent of it paid for by FEMA and 25 percent by the city, a breakdown confirmed by city officials.
“The contract is short-termed and runs through October but will likely be renewed,” the source said.
DHS is handling the distribution of the funds, but has been less than transparent in informing the neighborhood or releasing details publicly.
“The DHS is a rogue agency,” one local community board member said of the homeless influx, noting that residents were given no input and little or no notice of the move.
The board member, who asked to not be identified by name, said they were told the city was paying the hotels $175 a day per homeless person or “two guys in a room at $350 a day.”
“You do the math,” the board members said. “It’s a lot of money.”
The board member added, “It feels like the 1970s. Everyone who can move out is moving out.”
Asked about the funding and the number of homeless people being housed, a Department of Homeless Services spokesman said, “File a FOIA.”
“They do not give us the information in real time,” a spokesperson for the city Comptroller’s Office said of the city when asked for the same data.
A Facebook group has been formed in which residents exchange photos of men peeing, masturbating and lying sprawled and passed out near the hotels.
“Our community is terrified, angry and frightened,” one organizer of the 1,700-member group, Dr. Megan Martin, told The Post.

And the PTA for neighborhood school PS 87 sent out a letter Monday urging parents to call their local politicians to roust their newest neighbors entirely.
Of greatest concern for parents are the sex offenders — 10 are living at the Belleclaire as of Thursday, the state sex offender registry said. That’s just one block from PS 87’s playground.
The 10 include Luis Martin, 44, who stabbed, punched and raped a woman in 1995, resulting in a 12-year jail sentence.
There are also four offenders whose victims were children: Ronald Butler, 62, convicted in June 2013 of raping a 16-year-old girl; Eddie Daniel, 59, convicted of abusing a 10-year-old in 2011; Jonathan Evans, 29, convicted of abusing a 6-year-old; and Michael Hughes, 55, convicted of possessing child pornography in 2007.
“I tell my 10-year old, ‘I’ll be back in two minutes’ — I guess I won’t do that anymore,” mom Mariane Dabo told The Post at the playground after learning of the sex offenders. “It’s scary.”
“Since they have arrived just a week ago, members of our community have seen men urinating in public,” the PTA’s letter to parents laments.
“There have been fights at 79th and Amsterdam, on Broadway between 79th and 80th. Some of community families have been verbally harassed, men have been spitting in Metal Park (in Covid times) and sadly, some have reported seeing men looking for drugs or using drugs,” the letter read.
Then there are the drug and alcohol addicts.
Nearly 300 homeless addicts alone have since last week lived at the Lucerne at 79th Street and Amsterdam, where on Thursday afternoon, a trio of homeless residents filled a Post reporter in on the ongoing drug use.
“Listen, whatever drug you can imagine is done there,” Angel Ortiz, 60, told a Post reporter of his fellow residents outside the hotel.
“They shoot up, sniff up, crack, K2, everything,” agreed a fellow resident who gave his name as B.K. and his age as 43.
“You got drunks — you got violent drunks,” another Lucerne resident, William, 45, told The Post — though he kept interrupting the interview to call out to passing women.
“What’s up, momma? How you doing, pretty girl? Yo’ fine self,” he shouted. “How you feel, baby girl? Pretty girl.”
When his offer to sell K2 to the reporter was rebuffed, he noted, reasonably enough, “It’s not for everyone.”
Across the street, Mariano Ouatu, 49, runs a restaurant, Coppola’s, where drunken arguments among the homeless are driving away his customers.
Dem-Appointed Health Secretary Used Misleading Chart To Push Mask Mandates
Let’s say you see a chart with two lines. An orange line starts well above a blue line — but as you move right on the X-axis, the orange line dips well below the blue line. The blue line, meanwhile, has slight peaks and valleys, but more or less remains unmoved.
The two lines are meant to represent the outcomes of a certain policy — the rolling 7-day average of coronavirus cases in counties enforcing a mask-wearing COVID-19 ordinance vs. those that aren’t enforcing it. And let’s say the chart reflects the number of cases per 100,000 population. (Totally random hypothetical, I assure you.)
The orange line represents the counties where the mandate is being enforced. The blue line represents the counties where it isn’t. You’re supposed to draw an obvious inference from this: That enforcing mask mandates leads to fewer cases of the coronavirus per 100,000 population than not enforcing mask mandates. You’re still following and this seems reasonable enough, right?
However, this conclusion rests on a couple of bedrock assumptions. First among them, I would hope, is the assumption that the Y-axes values for both lines are the same. In other words, that both lines chart the exact same numerical value. That’s the only way the orange line and blue line could be considered comparable.
But that’s not how Kansas Department of Health & Environment Secretary Lee Norman rolls.
Norman was out in front of the media for a COVID-19 update last week when he presented what might be the single most deliberately misleading pieces of coronavirus information put forth by a major elected or appointed official in the during the annus horribilis of 2020 — and it has competition.
First, though, a short bit of background.
Kansas is a reliably red state in presidential elections, but the state Democratic Party has been reasonably successful in winning statewide office, particularly for governor, going back well over a half-century. However, most of these Democrats are what you usually get when you look at Democrats who win office in the Great Plains: More eggs-and-bacon and less latte.
Gov. Laura Kelly, who managed to get elected after the state GOP imploded in the run-up to the 2018 midterms, is definitely more in the latte mold, having ushered through Medicaid expansion and now a universal mask order in a large state like Kansas, where infection rates and ability to distance can and do differ wildly.
However, according to The Week, the legislature limited her ability to enforce it so it’s up to each individual county.
Some counties have enforced a mask order, others have declined. Kansas Health Secretary Norman, in his Wednesday news conference, went out of his way to show the graph with the orange line and the blue line, each representing what I said they hypothetically might.
According to The Sentinel, a non-profit news service that’s a subsidiary of the conservative Kansas Policy Institute, it was presented as proof to Norman that the orange-line counties abiding by the Gov. Kelly’s mask protocol were “winning the battle” while the blue-line counties weren’t.
The Sentinel saw something different.
“But he deceptively doctored the chart to justify mask mandates,” The Sentinel reported.
The problem is that the orange and blue lines on the X-axis each had its own Y-axis values. The orange line — the cases per 100,000 in counties which were enforcing the mask mandate — had a range between 15 and 25 cases. The blue line — the cases in the counties not enforcing mask protocol — was between four and 14 cases per 100,000.
That all sounds complicated, but the Twitter post below shows the graph with the Y-axis values the same when you click on the picture on the left and how it was presented when you look at the picture at the right.
On the left, both lines are essentially similar — except the counties where the mask order is being enforced has a higher rate than those where it’s not being enforced. In fact, the case numbers per 100,000 are roughly 77 times higher in counties with mask rules than without.
On the right, it’s clear that the graph was meant to mislead — to make people believe the mask order had gotten COVID-19 cases under control, provided it was followed.
One official of the Kansas Policy Institute, a free-market think tank based Wichita, told WIBW-TV that Norman’s chart was deceptive.
“It has nothing to do about whether masks are effective or not. What it has to do is making sure Kansans can make sound conclusions from accurate information,” Michael Austin, director of the Sandlian Center for Entrepreneurial Government at the Kansas Policy Institute, told WIBW-TV.
“And unfortunately, the chart that was shown prior in the week strongly suggested that counties that had followed Dr. Norman’s mask order outperformed counties that did not and that was most certainly not true.”
According to The Sentinel, Kansas House Majority Leader Dan Hawkins, a conservative Republican, blasted Normal and Kelly for the misleading data.
“Governor Kelly and her administration have failed Kansans time and again, but manipulating data to intentionally deceive the entire state is a new low. Tens-of-thousands of Kansans have lost their jobs and businesses as a direct result of Governor Kelly’s politics-first response to the COVID pandemic, and these individuals struggling to make ends meet deserve to know the truth,” Hawkins said in a statement.
“It is reprehensible for a public servant like Dr. Norman that we trusted to protect our health and safety in a nonpartisan way to intentionally spread misinformation. The Kelly administration has lost all credibility.”

America’s COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. could reach nearly 300,000 by Dec. 1, according to a new projection
America’s COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. could reach nearly 300,000 by Dec. 1, but consistent mask-wearing beginning today could save approximately 70,000 lives, according to new projections based on current fatality and infection rates from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (HME) at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine.
If every American started wearing a face mask today, this is how many lives could be saved - MarketWatch
Portugal has, as of today, 1759 deaths from Covid-19. The USA has 166,192.
As there's a big difference in population between these two countries (roughly 33 to 1), that's still a huge numer for the USA.
On one hand, Portugal is not nearly as rich as the USA. On the other hand there's free healthcare.
