'Emergency button' would stop all activities for 14 days

MULTIMEDIA
Guadalajara /07/07/2020 20:30:47
The Health Board established two new indicators that will define whether the "Emergency Button" is activated, that is, whether economic activity in Jalisco continues or is suspended for 14 days to cut the chain of infections from covid-19Governor Enrique Alfaro announced this afternoon.

The measure would be "more drastic than the one we took in the first stage of social isolation. It would mean closing all industry, commerce and services," the Governor warned.

Only health, safety and food supply services would continue to operate, not including restaurants, not even in the form of home service, he explained. Nor would tianguis be installed, nor would public transport operate except for the transfer of health and security personnel. Banks, churches, plazas, corridors and shopping malls would cease to operate, as well as government offices.

"We are confident that in this way the chain of infections can be cut to be in a position to continue with the next phase of reactivation without raising the level of risk for the population," he said.

The two indicators are hospital occupation and weekly incidence by date of onset of symptoms. If either one reaches the established limit (50 percent of hospital occupancy or incidence of 400 cases per million inhabitants), the "Emergency Button" will be activated.

Currently, the occupation of covid-19 beds is 26 percent in the state, while the second indicator is found in 290 cases.

The president informed that on July 15 a new instrument will be presented called "Risk Board" that will detail how and when the process of economic reactivation of the sectors that have not resumed work in the state will continue; so far, 72 percent of Jalisco's economic activities are already operating. "Today there are no conditions to set a date [for reopening] and therefore a new methodology will be built to make decisions that weigh the risk by type of activity," said Alfaro Ramírez. Likewise, the Board of Education will define the protocols for the return to classrooms in the coming days.

The Governor assured that they will continue working on the strategies of increasing PCR tests, voluntary isolation, the use of compulsory mouth masks, strengthening of inspection and monitoring of protocols in municipalities and the establishment of staggered schedules in companies. https://www.milenio.com/politica/comunidad/jalisco-boton-emergencia-pararia-actividades-14

Thanks for posting Rebecca.

Sounds like the Emergency button will certainly create an emergency.

Seems they should have a different set of rules for smokers

Beach air is safest air?

Possibly an indication that the beach is the safest place?

Harvard biomedical engineering professor to launch nasal spray that could reduce COVID-19 transmission risk

"It’s a saline mixture (essentially a “salty mist”) that contains
no drugs, and is instead directed from naturally occurring salts
that are most often found in sea water. The mist, when delivered
via deep nasal inhalation in misted form, has been shown in peer-reviewed
research published
on Tuesday by Sensory Cloud in medical journal QRB Discovery to clean
upper human airways of particles that are less than a micron in size
that aren’t typically filtered out by most conventional mask designs".

Watch out moderator, there is a scientist lurking out there. I was verbally eviscerated in a prior posting for suggesting that there may be some efficacy in using Hypochlorous acid as a nasal spray. I do not have any credentials, I am not a scientist.

It is saltwater spray........... beach on!!

Well it was tested on 10 people so its got that going for it.
This is the clean way of reducing COVID, I prefer to coat
my airways with a good layer of nicotine and kill it on contact!

That's the best news I've heard about smoking cigarettes since people started getting so uppity about it 40(?) Years ago.

Yeah, its like the ultimate conformation bias. "I knew there was
a reason I didn't quit smoking, I just had a strange feeling that
someday it was going to somehow turn out to be beneficial" .......

Beach spray could carry the virus

Virus Expert: Surfing May Increase Your Risk of Getting the Coronavirus

A scientist at the University of California San Diego is telling surfers to stop shredding to reduce their risk of contracting COVID-19, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Kim Prather, who researches how the ocean sprays bacteria and viruses into the air, told the paper that ocean breezes may carry the drops of saliva and other fluids far: “Surfers are saying that they’re safe if they stay six feet away from other people, but that’s only true if the air isn’t moving...Most of the time, there’s wind or a breeze at the coast. Tiny drops of virus can float in the air and get blown around.” She advised other would-be beachgoers to refrain as well. “If you don’t care about your own life, that’s one thing. But this can be a matter of life or death to other people,” she said.

As out of the water if you don't social distance you are vulnerable

Kim Prather is paranoid.

This is your source

https://www.thedailybeast.com/uc-san-diego-virus-expert-surfing-may-increase-your-risk-of-getting-the-coronavirus

The Daily Beast

"The Daily Beast is an American news and opinion website focused on politics and pop culture. In a 2015 interview, former editor-in-chief John Avlon described The Beast's editorial approach: "We seek out scoops, scandals, and stories about secret worlds;"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Beast

Read that as click bait

"Click bait definition is - something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest."

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clickbait

The article the daily beast linked to is from March 31. Here is an
article quoting Kim Prather on June 26th, she has chosen her words
a lot more carefully since March, now using words like - looking into -
The possibility - Researchers are trying to figure out - We’re trying
to understand - etc.

https://www.borderreport.com/news/california-researchers-examine-how-far-coronavirus-can-travel-once-airborne/

Edit: The Daily Beast article has Reuters as the source. That should be
a link and I find it strange that I can't find anything on Reuters about
the story.

A search of Mexico Daily news website produced this article, I presume
it is one on your list?

The search

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!https%3A%2F%2Fmexiconewsdaily.com%2F+sanitizer&t=h_&ia=web

Searching Huff Post for sanitizer - shows the most
recent article is from June 2020

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffpost.com%2F+sanitizer&t=ffab&ia=web

A full list of the hand sanitizer the FDA is urging people not

That’s a lot to read! I’m keeping it simple from now on...Pour a good swig of alcohol onto a piece of cloth and seal it up in a small ziplock.

Keep it in my bag, so wherever I am required to clean my hands before entering a store, I can use that saturated cloth, and then put it back in the bag. I don’t find alcohol irritating or dangerous.

Sound good? Does anyone see a problem with this idea?

Hi Carol,

If you read from the first post yeah, a lot to read. But that original post
is from July 8th, over 3 months ago (a long time in COVID terms).

Its a good reminder that some Mexico hand sanitizers are dangerous
but its not something we didn't already know, its just that two more
have been added to the list recently (don't ask which two).

Your hand sanitize routine sounds fine to me.
