Florida Department of Health August 16 – 18 additional daily Cornavirus cases

Florida Department of Health
August 16, 2020

Editor’s Note:  There are 527 total cases of Coronavirus in Zip-Code 32034 and increase of 3.  Yesterday, Nassau County Emergency Management announced the following: “It is with great sadness that we announce another two CoViD-19-related deaths today. The patients were a 45-year-old male and an 81-year-old female. Our heartfelt condolences go out to their families and friends.
Please take infection control measures seriously. Stop spreading germs to those at risk for deadly complications from an infection.”

Nassau County Emergency Management:

Below is a Coronavirus breakdown showing 18 reported cases on August 16.

 

  • Another 18 positive cases in Nassau. We have community transmission. Plenty of asymptomatic people are spreading the virus to others through:
    direct contact (e.g. hugs, kisses, handshakes)
  • close contact, closer than 6-feet for more than a few minutes (e.g. expelled droplets from spit, coughs, conversations during break-time, or singing together at choir practice), and
  • indirect contact (e.g. touching random items with dirty hands, items that others touch later, and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth)

You have germs that can make other people sick, and only you are responsible for keeping them to yourself. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze or expel droplets any other way. Wash your hands with soap and water before you touch anything anyone else might touch. Stay home if you might be infectious, especially if you have a fever (have you checked your temperature?) or feel sick.

Don’t get physically close to people you don’t live with – infections spread easily between co-workers and friends/family/visitors. Keep your distance and stay safe.

Thanks for reminding people of how to not get others sick. We still have an indoor mandatory mask regulation in Fernandina, no matter if social distancing is possible or not. I wish it were enforced better. The county’s death rate from the virus is increasing.

The face diaper mandate is utterly useless since NOBODY wear them properly! If this disease is so utterly deadly, why are there no biohazard containers to put a used mask in? What possible good is there in carrying a mask on one’s arm, or under their chin when not in use? Once that mask comes off, it needs to be disposed of properly, hands washed thoroughly, and a fresh mask used for the next time! The fact that nobody seems to do this just says that nobody believes the hype.

We’ve done a good job with the Global Warming scare. We can do even better with covID. Fear is one of the main tools of social engineers. We must create as much fear as possible. It will help us to implement programs and mandates that are beneficial to many in the medical/pharmaceutical community. Our friends in the privately owned banking system will benefit also. Fear of germs can be used as a reason to eliminate cash. One problem we might have though is the story on Hydroxycloroquine got out there. There were 17 million views of “Frontline Doctors” before it was removed from FB and Youtube. And to make matters worse it can now be seen on b i t c h u t e —- dot —- com.
