    They won't help. Ask the 14 hospital workers suffering from the disease.
    Europe used to have empires. They were run by emperors.
    Then we had kingdoms. They were run by kings.
    Now we have countries...

    There has been a TV ad for a cruise line airing for quite some time that uses Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" song while showing a woman on a cruise ship who seems to be in a bizarre "Alice in Wonderland" trance state.

    I saw this ad again today and realized how synchronistic it is to the coronavirus quarantined cruise ship and airplane passengers !!

    Dangerous confrontation between Russia and Turkey may send a million more 'demographic weapons of mass destruction' into a Europe already undermined and crippled with the coronavirus crisis !!

    Putin may extend term over 'threats to Russia', coronavirus


    Move would allow long-serving leader to run for president again after his fourth and last Kremlin term expires in 2024.

    " Russian President Vladimir Putin approved legislation allowing him to stay in power beyond 2024 citing global instability and threats against Russia, including the new coronavirus, the Kremlin said on Thursday.

    During a rare and unscheduled appearance in the Parliament on Tuesday, Putin stunned both the general public and the establishment by agreeing to a last-minute proposal to reset his constitutional term-limit clock to zero.

    This would allow him to run for president again after his fourth and last Kremlin term expires in 2024.

    The bombshell announcement came even though Putin previously ruled out bending the law to stay in power.

    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that Putin changed his mind because of a "totality" of factors, including the spread of the novel coronavirus, a possible global recession and regional conflicts.

    "The situation around the world has become less stable," Peskov told reporters.

    He said coronavirus "has quite serious consequences for the global economy already now and potentially may have more serious consequences for the global economy" in the future.

    They will help. They just aren't sufficient to guarantee that you won't get infected. With viruses, you need to get a certain number of particles (virions) for the infection to set in. In theory, one virion is enough to infect you and cause disease, but that is a low probability event. For most viruses, you need to take in at least thousands of virions in order to develop disease. Smaller numbers tend to get caught up by non-specific immune responses before they can replicate. So, anything that you can do to reduce the number of virus particles that you take in is helpful. Even a bandana would be better than nothing.
