The Mask; Latin America is the epicenter of the pandemic; Wuhan lab denies allowing coronavirus to escape; Movement restricted in Barú, Chiriquí; The Mask

Thursday, July 09, 2020

The debate on mask use is a debate that shouldn’t even exist.  There’s been so much information brought in to play on who should use it, when, how and why, that has created unnecessary confusion.  It also doesn’t help that the government of Panama has mandated use of masks in a way that makes us think that everyone should use one all the time.  Well, yes, we should, but only because the government has ordered us to.  The only “Mask” debate we should be having in 2020 is whether or not Jim Carey should come back and fix that disaster of a sequel “Son of The Mask”.  What the hell were they thinking? 

It’s important to understand that, if you use a mask, it won’t guarantee that you are going to be protected from getting the Corona Virus.  That’s not the purpose of the mask.  The mask should be worn by those persons who are showing symptoms of the virus, or who have been exposed to someone else who has been confirmed as having the virus.  A very good friend of mine sent me a debate that he had with another guy.  First of all, debating this particular friend is usually futile, because, well, he’s one smart cookie.  Secondly, reading the extremely long debate, the other guy knew what he meant to say, but didn’t know how to say it and eventually got frustrated, started using some of my favorite naughty words and threatened to report him to the authorities… …for being right, I guess. 

Let’s run through some definitions first, just so we’re clear and there’s no doubt about what means what:

Corona Virus – Also commonly known as the “China Virus”, “Chainah Virus (with a Trump Accent), “Wuhan Virus”, “The Rona” and the not-as-popular “I hate you because I can’t taste my freaking coffee Virus”. It’s a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose.

COVID-19 – ‘CO’ stands for corona, ‘VI’ for virus, and ‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as ‘2019 novel coronavirus’ or ‘2019-nCoV.’ The COVID-19 virus is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.

Symptomatic – exhibiting or involving symptoms. As for it’s relation with the “I hate you because I can’t taste my freaking coffee virus”, it means that you have a fever and are coughing, sneezing, lost your taste and smell, may have fatigue and in more advanced stages, difficulty breathing, pneumonia, kidney failure and death. Although, to be clear, death isn’t a symptom, it’s an end result.

Asymptomatic – this means that the person is carrying the virus, it’s running its course through the person, but that person will never show any signs of illness in relation to the commonalities of that virus, during the entire duration of the virus in that person.

Non-symptomatic – an alternate and confusing way to say “Asymptomatic”. Reading the word “non”, makes some people think that the person doesn’t have the disease.

Pre-symptomatic – you have the virus, you’re not showing symptoms yet, but you eventually will. Everyone who eventually shows symptoms has been pre-symptomatic as this is the incubation stage of the virus.

This is a common pro-Mask propaganda image that we’ve seen in many styles and several languages. It’s not complete however. The number one person that needs to wear masks are those who are clearly sick, coughing, sneezing or difficulty breathing. The image instead only mentions “Non-symptomatic” or as smart people say “Asymptomatic”. This image is hinting at the fact that even if you don’t know if you have the virus or not, you should wear the mask. It’s also safe to say that if you have very obvious symptoms and especially if you’ve tested positive, you shouldn’t be outside anywhere with or without a mask. You shouldn´t have to deal with some moron who is standing behind you coughing while in line at the super market, even if he’s wearing a mask.

There’s an image that’s missing as well. What if neither wears a mask? Definitely, the risk of infection would be higher still. We can just call that one “Very High” Infection Risk.

The remaining information is good enough for the viewer. Sick guy doesn’t wear a mask, but the healthy one does, he’s still at a high risk. The sick person wears the mask, but the healthy one doesn’t, that’s Low Risk… …hey, what happened to “Medium Risk”? Shouldn’t there be a Medium RisK? Then finally, both wear the mask and the chances of infection drop to the ideal scientific measurement of “Very Low”. The images don’t take into account the distance between them, whether they’re in a confined space or in a park walking their mask-toting poodles, or whatever.

The bottom line is that wearing a mask does not protect the wearer, it protects those around the wearer, if the wearer were indeed sick (with or without symptoms).  From the perspective of the individual, if they know without a doubt that they’re not sick, then they shouldn’t wear a mask.  I agree.

When the virus left China and started travelling freely from country to country in their throat-clearing hosts, it spread quickly. Everyone started to worry and everyone turned into a hypochondriac. I’m guilty of this too, but I’m surprised at how many people have told me, “I think I might have gotten it back in February”, and would then continue on explaining their symptoms to me, for who know what reason? It was the perfect time to panic-buy stuff, including masks, gloves toilet paper and a Netflix subscription.

Even the Panamanian government started making up extreme lists of requirements that were practically impossible to adhere to. Because of this, I see people unnecessarily buying integrated body temperature readers, vaporizers, gloves, cloth reusable masks and any number of items that are simply COVID-capitalism friendly for anyone that will fall for it.

So, what are we really supposed to do?  Well, from the perspective of a Los Prevention Officer, Store Owner, Business-Owner in general, we need to make sure that we follow the rules established by the government and we need to establish procedures that makes the majority of our customers feel comfortable.  They need to feel like they can enter my establishment and feel like the location I’m entering actually cares about me and is taking the right measures to protect me, their client.

Do we need a welcome mat, soaked in alcohol that everyone should step on to sanitize their feet?  No.  As per the CDC, the virus isn’t getting anywhere via the feet of a person or animal.  Should we use one anyways?  Yes.  Why?  Because the level of uncertainty coming from our governments is enough for the common individual to not be certain as to what they should believe.  It gives your (our) customer that warm fuzzy feeling when their buying your product.

What about the rest of the things the government suggests or demands that we use?  Seeing as the number one thing that we should do during the pandemic to protect ourselves, it to keep our hands clean and away from our faces.  Easily accessible hand sanitizers are a must.  If everyone could wash their hands with soap and water, that would be ideal.  What about long sleeves?  I think it’s unnecessary.  The virus doesn’t enter the body through the skin and if you’re not touching your hands, you’re probably not touching your elbows.  And, you shouldn’t be wiping your face on your sleeves either, dude, gross!  I personally feel that you should do everything possible to make your customers, visitors or family feel safe even if others think it’s ridiculous.

But, now we’ve come full circle back to the mask. Should we wear a mask even if we’re not sick. Yes. (Say the following in your head with a whiney voice.) “But Breeeett, you said earlier in your article that if you’re not sick, you don’t need a mask.” That’s true. That’s from the perspective of the individual. But from the perspective of a business, I’m not taking the risk of letting someone in to my building who swears to me that they’re not sick. I can’t count the number of times someone has told me a lie, just to breach our security protocols.

“I know the owner of the store and he said that I can cut the line of 500 people to get a personal signature from that soccer star.”

“I swear, I’m only going to be a minute. My wife is in there and she needs her ID.”

“I am allowed to park here, because I’m partner of a major mega dude… blah blah blah” – Sorry buddy, not on my watch!

We’re all adults here, right?  I mean, I don’t recall adding any 7-year-olds to this mailing or broadcast lists.  Perhaps one of you back in your more flamboyant, free bird yearscan relate to this story.  You meet that certain someone at a party, Jägermeister was flowing a little too copiously, one thing leads to another and before you know it, you’re at a Motel 6 just south of Chicago wishing you would have driven just another 3 miles to that Country Inn & Suites.  But you’re both there, it’s about to happen and someone pulls out a condom.  The other individual (trying to keep this gender-neutral) refutes, “I’m clean, we don’t need a condom.”  And you’re like, “OK, I hate them too and I totally trust anyone who can down Tequila like you can.”…  Nope, you wouldn’t say that at all.  That’s actually about the time you say, “Sorry buddy, not on my watch!”  (My bad, I had to break gender neutrality.)

If I’m in charge of security and someone wants to enter, while we’re battling this pandemic, they’re going to wear a mask.  (And, if I could afford it, I’d give them a free mask at the entrance.)  It’s not just because it’s the law here, but because even though you tell me that you’re not sick, there’s not possible way for me to know that for sure.  So it’s not about you, it’s about me.

Where do I think we should be able to go without a mask? Home. Car. Walking alone down the street. And, right now I can’t think of other places, but I’m sure there are several others.

LATIN AMERICA OVERCOMES THE US AND EUROPE AND IS NOW CONSIDERED AS THE NEW PANDEMIC EPICENTER

Latin America and the Caribbean were confirmed on Tuesday as the global epicenter of the pandemic, reaching 3 million coronavirus infections, surpassing the United States and Europe, which puts more and more on the ropes of a region that already has almost at the top the capacity of their health systems.

The World Health Organization (WHO) detailed today that coronavirus cases exceed 11.5 million worldwide, while the death toll stands at about 535,000.

Of that total, America registers some 6 million infections – more than 50% of them in Latin America – and some 266,000 deaths; It is followed by Europe, with 2.8 million cases and which today crossed the barrier of 200,000 deaths.

Latin America: about 3 million cases and 130,000 deaths Latin America, which is around 130,000 deaths from COVID-19, became the most affected area in the world, surpassing the United States and Europe in number of infected, with about 3 million cases, representing more than 50% of the American continent and 26% of the total in the world.

“Two months ago, the United States accounted for 75% of COVID-19 cases in the region. But, last week, Latin America and the Caribbean registered more than 50% of infections. Only Brazil reported about a quarter of them, “alerted the director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Carissa Etienne.

However, the United States remains the country most plagued by the pandemic, with 2.9 million infected and 131,000 deaths, followed by Brazil with 1.6 million infected, including President Jair Bolsonaro, who today tested positive for the coronavirus, and 66,000 deaths.

Peru (about 309,000 cases and more than 10,900 deaths), Chile (more than 300,000 infected and 6,400 dead) and Mexico (about 261,000 infections and 31,000 deaths) are also among the ten most affected countries in the world.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed today that the pandemic is accelerating, as the growing number of daily cases shows, although its lethality has stabilized, as “many countries have managed to reduce the number of deaths.”

In fact, data from national health networks indicate that the global number of recovered patients is close to 6.8 million, while among active cases 1% (less than 58,000) are in serious or critical condition.

In America, the US reports more than 936,000 recovered among its 2.9 million cases, 31%; while in Latin America the number of people who have overcome the disease is 1.9 million (about 60% of all infections).

Response capacity is reduced PAHO recalled today that it is still continuing in the first wave of the pandemic in the continent, but with a strong rebound: last week alone there were 735,000 new cases, almost 20% more than the previous week.

In presenting these figures, the agency expressed immense concern that COVID-19 is moving from large cities with strong health infrastructure to smaller ones with fewer resources to deal with the pandemic, which can increase mortality.

In addition, health personnel continue to be highly vulnerable to the virus due to the lack of personal protective equipment and poor working conditions amid a growing saturation of hospital capacity.

One of these cases occurs in the Dominican Republic, which reports more than 38,000 cases and 821 deaths and where the number of people hospitalized by COVID-19 doubled in the last month.

There are currently 1,047 COVID-19 patients hospitalized, which has raised the bed occupancy rate for coronavirus patients to 71%. And even in areas like Santiago de los Caballeros, the second largest city in the country, 91% is already occupied.

A similar alarm went off in Peru, where, despite the government’s efforts to speedily equip the country’s health centers to deal with the pandemic, the Ombudsman’s Office warned that there are no beds available in hospitals in the Huánuco region, in the central jungle of the country.

In the Santa María del Valle Integrated Hospital in that region, ten ICU beds are occupied and the only remaining one is not used because it does not have a mechanical ventilator.

Meanwhile, in Costa Rica, which reports more than 5,400 cases and 23 deaths, authorities announced on Tuesday that the hospital dedicated exclusively to patients with this disease is about to become saturated, which is why a strategy to expand the capacity of attention.

An extreme case is lived in Bolivia, which is going through its worst moment on COVID-19, with scenes of deaths on the street and rejected patients in hospitals.

The situation is especially critical in regions such as Santa Cruz, the most populous in the country and that concentrates most of the cases, or Cochabamba, where in recent days the scenes of coffins in the streets have become daily.

Bolsonaro, one of the 1.6 million infected in Brazil During the day, Brazil shook itself with the confirmation that President Jair Bolsonaro, 65 and one of the most skeptical in the world about the severity of the coronavirus, tested positive for COVID -19.

“I confess that I thought I had contracted it a few months ago,” said the president, adding that he feels “perfectly fine” and that he is already treated with chloroquine, an antimalarial drug whose efficacy against the coronavirus he defends despite doubts that exist in science.

After learning of the contagion of the president, the director of health emergencies of the World Health Organization (WHO), Mike Ryan, stressed that this shows that “nobody is special, we are all potentially exposed and we are equally vulnerable.”

The WHO took advantage of the case, in addition, to remember that the situation is worrying not only in Brazil, “but throughout Latin America, where cases and deaths continue to rise.”

THE WUHAN LABORATORY DENIES TO HAVE ALLOWED THE CORONAVIRUS TO ESCAPE

AFP has not obtained authorization to visit the laboratory since the pandemic broke out.

The Wuhan virology laboratory, accused of leaking the virus that caused the covid-19 pandemic, defended its security measures in a report broadcast on Chinese television.

The P4 laboratory, located in this city where the virus appeared at the end of last year, works with especially dangerous virus strains and there are hypotheses that suggest that it was at the origin of the pandemic.

But the director of the National Biosafety Laboratory, Yuan Zhiming, denied this idea in a report on the state television station CCTV.

“Without authorization, not a mosquito could enter the laboratory,” Yuan said in a report that appears to have been done inside the facility, which opened in 2017.

Wuhan’s lab denies releasing the coronavirus

AFP has not obtained authorization to visit the laboratory since the pandemic broke out. AFP

“None of our laboratory technicians could remove even a drop of water or a piece of paper,” he said.

According to the director, “people who imagine that we could take animals out of the laboratory to sell them or that they could escape have no idea of ​​our operation.”

The theory that has more consensus is that the virus would have its origin in a bat or a pangolin and that it then passed on to man.

The likely site of contamination would be a Wuhan market where live wild animals were sold.

The epidemic has already contaminated 12 million people in the world, with more than half a million deaths.

Yuan Zhiming considered his laboratory “natural” to be suspicious because it is the one closest to the epicenter of the epidemic.

But he says he is confident that “the rumors will progressively dissipate.”

“There was no leakage of pathogens or human contamination” in the laboratory, built in collaboration with France, said the director.

According to Yuan, although it seems that the laboratory is “a secret black box” it is actually “very open and transparent” and hopes to host foreign researchers in the future

Despite various demands, AFP has not obtained authorization to visit the laboratory since the pandemic broke out.

The United States and Australia, among other countries, accuse China of lack of transparency and called for an international investigation into the origin of the virus.

The Minister of Health of Panama, Luis Sucre.

The Minister of Health of Panama, Luis Sucre confirmed that he authorized the humanitarian flight for the transfer of Luis Enrique Martinelli, son of former President Ricardo Martinelli, who fulfilled the health requirements.

Before authorizing this flight, Sucre assured that consultations were made with the Panamanian Foreign Ministry, the National Immigration Service and the Public Ministry (MP), which considered that there were no problems.

“Therefore, the Ministry of Health cannot deny them as Panamanians, but had difficulties with any of the other three institutions that could enter. That if, to arrive they had to meet the same requirements that other Panamanians had to meet, the signing of commitments and quarantine. All the steps were taken to say only in health matters if they could enter, “said the Minister of Health.

Sucre explained that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minsa grants one of the authorizations for Panamanians to enter the country.

He clarified that the permission was only requested for the entry of Luis Enrique, his wife and daughters, “that was what was handled from the beginning when the question was asked to different institutions that have to do with immigration, health only sees the part of health”.

Luis Enrique and Ricardo Alberto Martinelli Linares were captured on Monday, July 6 in Guatemala, when they were preparing to board a humanitarian flight to Panama.

They are requested by the United States justice to face a criminal process for their alleged participation in a massive bribery and money laundering scheme of the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.

BUSINESSMEN ASK TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE PANAMA SOLIDARIO PLAN TO INCLUDE INFORMAL WORKERS

The Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Panama prepared a 35-page document where actions are taken that would reactivate the country’s economy, while reinforcing social and health security to overcome the crisis caused by the coronavirus (Covid-19) .

The document proposes social, health, economic and fiscal actions, which the Government can implement in the short term and whose implementation complexity is low or medium in its majority.

The union recommends increasing the scope of the Panama Solidarity plan to include all workers with suspended contracts, as well as informal workers.

The Chamber suggests using the platform that non-governmental organizations have already implemented to facilitate the delivery of the vouchers and, by the way, recommends that the digital voucher, which today can only be used in some supermarkets, be redeemable in other establishments.

Regarding health, the document points to the creation of a national traceability plan that allows creating the data of all the contacts of people who are positive to Covid-19.

Along these lines, the union calls for a greater hiring of health personnel to attend to the increase in the number of cases. A week ago, the government announced that it was seeking to hire 500 health professionals, including doctors, nurses, laboratory workers, nurses, technicians, cleaners, and promoters.

Most of the document addresses economic and fiscal measures that in the opinion of the House are necessary to revive the country’s economy that has remained stagnant since last March when the first confinement measures were adopted.

The business sector is concerned that in four months only 2 of the 6 blocks designed by the authorities for the restart of commercial activities have been opened.

The union asks the authorities to set the terms so that the private sector, especially small and medium-sized companies, can access the funds that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) approved for the recovery of the Panamanian economy.

Another action that can generate a multiplier effect on the economy according to the analysis of the Chamber is the reactivation of all the stopped state projects such as the construction of the fourth bridge, the hospital city, as well as incentivizing the purchase of homes to reduce the current inventory to by increasing the housing voucher to $ 70,000 for low-income families, as well as increasing the application of interest preferences for the purchase of units with a price between $ 120,000 and $ 180,000 from 5 to 10 years.

“We emphasize the need to adapt the previously implemented strategies, maintaining the measures that still register effectiveness and rethinking those that have signs of wear and tear and no longer produce results that allow the balance between the health, the economy and the social well-being of the Panamanian population “indicates the document.

The president of the Chamber, Jean-Pierre Leignadier, has asked the Government to cancel the debt it maintains with suppliers such as supermarkets that have changed the solidarity bond, as well as with rice producers and the hotel sector. According to the union’s estimates, the State owes about 112 million dollars to these three sectors.

In tax matters, the private sector asks for tax flexibility to increase liquidity in companies, which will translate into greater hiring of personnel and purchase of goods.

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CONFIRMS THERE IS ‘EMERGING EVIDENCE’ THAT CORONAVIRUSES CAN BE TRANSMITTED BY DROPS IN THE AIR

The World Health Organization confirmed that there is “emerging evidence” of airborne transmission of the coronavirus following the publication of a letter signed on Monday by 239 scientists urging the agency to be more forthcoming about the likelihood that people may contract the virus. by the drops that float in the air.

Dr. Benedetta Alleganzi, WHO technical director for Infection Prevention and Control, said during a briefing on Tuesday that the agency has discussed and collaborated with many of the scientists who signed the letter.

“We recognize that there is emerging evidence in this field, as in all other fields, with respect to the covid-19 virus and the pandemic, and therefore we believe that we must be open to this evidence and understand its implications with respect to modes of transmission and also regarding the precautions to be taken, “said Alleganzi.

Infectious disease epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkove of the WHO Health Emergencies Program said many of the signatories to the letter are engineers, “adding to the growing knowledge about the importance of ventilation, which she believes is very important “

“We have been talking about the possibility of airborne and aircraft transmission as one of the transmission modes of the covid-19, as well as droplets. We have examined the fomites. We have examined oral stool. We have looked from mother to son. Of course, we have also looked from animal to human, ”said Van Kerkove.

She said the agency is working on a scientific summary that summarizes current knowledge about the transmission of the deadly virus, which should be available in the coming weeks.

Alleganzi emphasized that more research into the transmission of covid-19 is still needed.

“So these are research fields that are really growing and for which there is some emerging evidence but it is not definitive,” he said.

“And therefore, the possibility of airborne transmission in public settings, especially under very specific conditions, in crowded, closed, and poorly ventilated locations that have been specified cannot be ruled out. However, the evidence needs to be gathered and interpreted. “

CSS TRIES TO IMPROVE STRATEGY TO INFORM COVID-19 PATIENT FAMILY MEMBERS

The authorities of the Hospital Complex of the Social Security Fund (CSS) would be coordinating to improve strategies so that information to the relatives of patients of COVID-19 is faster and more effective.

At least this was reported this Thursday, July 9, by the infectious disease doctor, Darío Flores. The latter due to constant complaints from relatives of COVID-19 patients about the little information they receive.

Flores said that despite how saturated the system is, the CSS analyzes improving the process of informing family members who want to know the clinical condition of each patient, since they understand that this situation generates anxiety in people.

For his part, Roger Barés, from the Patient and Family Protection Committee, said that they receive questions and complaints not only from family members of those who are infected with COVID-19, but also from those who suffer from other diseases.

He maintains that he has raised the problem with the CSS director, however, he said that he called the Health Minister, Luis Francisco Sucre and did not reply.

He suggested that near the health centers and polyclinics they have the connection to respond to the relatives.

“Every person has the right to have a daily response on the state of their patient or family member, wherever they are, COVID or not COVID, of any type of pathology,” Barés stressed.

Care to avoid COVID-19

On the observation made by several scientists to the World Health Organization (WHO) that the virus is transmitted by air, Flores explained that, for months ago, the possibility that the virus remains suspended has been discussed for months. for longer in closed environments.

He believes that it is vital that people comply with the measure of using masks properly, in addition to hand washing and physical distance.

He urged the population to cooperate using the masks, cleaning their work environment and their home.

It is important that people quarantined in their homes are in a ventilated area.

END NOTES

So much talk about Masks in today’s edition and the mention of Jim Carey early on, I thought I’d leave this as a reminder as to how much fun it was when Mr Carey was still making quality movies instead of his more recent rants.

  • The Mask/Stanley Ipkiss: [knowing it doesn’t work, tries changing the subject] Now, uh, h-how about that account? We have several different plans… [nervously jams a pen in the pencil sharpener, making a loud grinding noise] Savings, checking, savings and checking, CDs, savings and CDs, checking and CDs, savings, checking, and CDs, T-bills, or we can just take all your money and throw it in a big mattress back there. [both laugh]
