A Web site or a blog listing current guidance and scientific literature references for surgical masks would be helpful.

COVID-19 vs influenza. 🦠 vs 🦠
Abro hilo:
#COVID-19: al día de hoy, a nivel mundial, se han confirmado cerca de 400 mil casos y casi 17 mil fallecimientos.
Influenza: cada año se presentan de 3-5 millones de casos graves en el mundo y medio millón de fallecimientos.
¿Entonces porqué estamos tan preocupados por el COVID-19?
Yo daría dos razones principales:
1) incertidumbre, de COVID aún hay mucho que no sabemos.
2) COVID ha mostrado que puede colapsar sistemas de salud, aún de países desarrollados.
¿Porqué influenza no suele colapsar los sistemas de salud? Porque la vacuna evita muchos casos graves y evita que los casos se acumulen con gran velocidad, ya que al haber gente protegida se rompen cadenas de transmisión

The moratorium on foreclosures/evictions is important if you have a single-family mortgage and are facing foreclosure or eviction in the next 60 days.

*It is not a moratorium on current payments due.*

If you lost your job or got sick and expect to have difficulty paying your mortgage going forward, the relief programs you will want to look at are those that can reduce or suspend your payments and protect your credit. See the next tweet for options. (3/8)

Everytime there is a new epidemic different WhatsApp forwards pop up. This particular one i have seen at least 3 times in the last 4 years
Short answer
The information in this picture is WRONG & FALSE
#FactCheck
#coronavirusindia #coronarvirus #CoronavirusOutbreak
These masks are called MASKS or common surgical masks. They are usually used by healthcare workers when treating patients.

They are designed with a filter inside the white side to prevent the spread of water droplets from the breath OF THE PERSON WEARING IT.
So in essence wearing this mask protects the patient not the wearer. The droplets will collect in the mask & you breathe through it. But since it is your own droplets no harm. Wearing the mask in reverse will not work. Imagine if it collect the droplets from air. Common sense🤦🏽‍♂️

#Thread A LIRE 1⃣ Les membres de la CNIL se sont prononcés sur une expérimentation qui prévoit le recours à la reconnaissance faciale à l'entrée de deux lycées de la région #PACA.
2⃣ La CNIL a été saisie par la région d’une demande de conseil portant sur l’expérimentation d’un « portique virtuel » de contrôle d’accès par reconnaissance faciale à l’entrée de deux lycées. Elle a été destinataire de l’analyse d’impact sur la protection des #données.
3⃣ Le but de ce dispositif était d'aider au #contrôle d'accès de l'établissement et de prévenir les intrusions ou usurpations d'identité, ainsi que réduire la durée de ces contrôles. Il devait être expérimenté durant toute une année scolaire.

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra
