MHSN 3,174 Posted March 3, 2020 #461 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) wearing mask doesn't help much if you are healthy. but that brings up another risk. you usually touch your mask with your hands and they are not always clean. since my office in Tehran is closed for 1.5 months, I only had to go to supermarket in past 2 weeks but today morning I had to go to a public place for the first time since the spread of coronavirus,insurance company actually for fixing some errors in a previous project we finished there and I think something like 40 or 50 percents of visitors were wearing masks. 70% (including myself) were wearing gloves. most people take this very seriously, I assume the numbers will drop in Iran after a week or so. but still it was a very sad image, people almost don't talk to each other (which is very non-Iranian) this time of the year couple weeks before our "new year" you always could see people shopping etc. hopefully things will get better before the new year celebration we had +500 new cases yesterday and +800 today, total number is 2336 and 77 deaths two cities are in critical condition, Qom and Rasht .

Yeah it's about finding a mix between who is taking proper precautions (like him) and who isn't (like me) and who is living in a country where it's spreading fast (like him) and where it isn't yet (like....I don't know ).

Our numbers are very much correct. Not saying the numbers aren't correct, just that the number of tests being done is so incredibly low - at least a few days ago - that it's reasonable to assume USA is detecting an even smaller portion of cases than most of the world.

hckošice 13,217 Posted March 3, 2020 Author #470 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Still 0 cases in Slovakia, but it looks sometimes like we are taking measures like we're right in the middle of an epidemic For example today the city of Bratislava has adopted several preventive measures for the new coronavirus - COVID-19, which is spreading throughout the world.The Municipality started a complete and immediate disinfection of all public transport vehicles, instructed the members of the City Crisis Staff to be ready, purchased sanitary and disinfectants for all employees and ordered restrictions on visits to the senior citizens' establishments in the city to people who have recently visited the COVID- 19th zones.
