[Hidden-tech] A Strange Cold Going Around?

Mon Mar 30 22:24:24 UTC 2020

Hi Rob,
I hope you're feeling better.
I agree with the importance of mask wearing everywhere no matter if you
have obvious symptoms or not.  Everything points to it. Countries that do
it are flattening the curve. It just makes sense.

People are confusing this idea with taking away masks from doctors. That's
a misunderstanding. This is about any homemade mask. Anyone can do it and
there's no shortage of scrap material. Doctors are endorsing this.

Luckily more people are wearing them in stores around here and the social
stigma is going down. The more I see of this, the more hopeful I feel. I
agree we can't wait for government orders to do it. They are responding too
late.

I too am hoping for an antibody test soon because I think it's possible
many of us have had it already. And it seems the odds are very high that it
will have at least some immunity, at least to some strains, which is
something.

Thank you.
