Great man, you have a good heart.
The California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology requires the following school hours, depending on your license type. The Board does not accept Apprentice hours. Cosmetologist = 1600 hours, Barber = 1500 hours, Esthetician = 600 hours, Electrologist = 600 hours, Manicurist = 400 hours.

There seems to be quite some confusion over which mask to wear and whether surgical is adequate or not.
American regulations are quite tight and meant for conditions when there is no shortage of masks. N95 grade masks are recommended in high as well as low risk environments.
Well, what do we do when there is a shortage of masks ? what is good enough
How to assess the level of risk ?
What is the efficacy of standard face masks compared to respirator masks in preventing COVID-type respiratory illnesses in primary care staff? | CEBM | Mar 24 2020
It is worth noting that guidance produced by the US Centres for Disease Control recommends respirator masks for both high- and low-risk encounters when patients are suspected of highly contagious and potentially serious conditions such as SARS. However, this guidance was likely based on the precautionary principle and probably did not anticipate the supply shortages currently faced by frontline staff.
We sought to inform guidance on the use of these different masks in primary care settings.
When do you need one ?
Clearly ONLY if performing a procedure on an infected patient that results in generation of an aerosol. This means the patient is constantly emanating aerosols. And the health worker is performing this procedure on several patients through the course of the day. Notice fit checks are mandatory in such an environment but not in a low risk one.
In an non aersol generating environment there is no advantage wearing an N95 over a surgical mask.
You don't need an N95 when you go shopping. Even if some one in the line coughs. They would have to keep coughing into your face repeatedly for a surgical mask to fail.
They recommend a surgical mask for community health care workers who would be within a metre of an infected person. It means the risk of infection in such an environment is low enough that a surgical mask is sufficient to avoid infection. Along with appropriate PPE ofc.
An interesting comment i noticed was an infected person should not wear an N95 or basically any kind of mask with a release valve as it would be as good as no mask and they would infect people around them. A surgical mask is best for these people to catch any droplets.Last edited by Double Edge; 07 Apr 20,, 23:49.

Need to find some official figure for those we have in qurantine.
So we can expect a spike in affected numbers but what people should understand is these are contacts that were quarantined and suspected f carrying the disease. During their time in quarantine they could not infect others.
I have news for you -> Covid-19: Centre may extend lockdown as several states pitch for it
If lockdown persists, it will be atleast till April 30th. That is again my guess. Those TJ guys needs to be spanked naked in public.

It does not work if given to adults. Cannot prevent TB in an adult if they take it as adults.
So people who did not get it when young contract TB later.
That's what i've understood.

In this chey can't target our people without their own being influenced as well. TikTok is available over there as well.
If we could, we would have used the same TikTok videos against Pakistan. E.g., Allah will save them Paks from the virus. Only sissies use face masks. Virus doesn't have any effect on people praying together, so all Paks should pray together.

Got 20 packets of ciggis at 33.3% the markup. Will last till 22nd April. Booze shops should be opened, and people should be asked to maintain social distancing strictly.Last edited by Oracle; 08 Apr 20,, 06:26.Politicians are elected to serve...far too many don't see it that way - Albany Rifles! || Loyalty to country always.

Originally posted by kato View PostIn the 1940s and 1950s Tb was relatively widespread in Germany, with 100,000-150,000 cases per year (a similar prevalence to India today). It primarily spread through the 12 million refugees coming from Eastern Europe after the war that were distributed all over Germany.
Mass innoculation started around 1950 and within the next 30 years dropped not just cases in general, but factually eradicated Tb as a factor in infant mortality (reduction by 97% !). Around the time i was born it was still 30,000 cases per year, nowadays 5,000. The mass innoculation programme was lifted when it dropped below 10,000 cases per year. The overwhelming majority of Tb cases in Germany nowadays are immigrants who aren't innoculated. Among Germans it only occurs in people born before the innoculation programme.
Between ca 1950 and the mid 80s in most states in parallel to the innoculation programme there was mandatory mass screening of the population - mobile x-ray stations in busses coming into towns and villages and the entire population being required to be tested for tuberculosis. Coverage was 85-90% of the population. In the military we all got this screening as well up until 2000.
Portugal had the BCG program, Spain did not
The difference with deaths is much more pronounced

There is no such thing as a shortage in an unregulated free market. The prices adjust and goes out of reach with time.Last edited by Double Edge; 08 Apr 20,, 06:46.

We can't do that for the reason i mentioned earlier.
The markup was double the last time i went so its 40% here now.

Originally posted by Double Edge View PostSo the age group that received it should (in theory) do better ? than those that did not. But you have already isolated your elderly.
This becomes pronounced when looking at the numbers without dimensions. Prevalence in two such states:
Northrhine-Westphalia:
Baden-Württemberg:
If we take these numbers for a "prevalence relative to 80+ age group" and put them in comparison with each other, then:
15-34 = 123.6% in Northrhine-Westphalia compared to Baden-Württemberg
35-59 = 123.7% in Northrhine-Westphalia compared to Baden-Württemberg
60-79 = 105.5% in Northrhine-Westphalia compared to Baden-Württemberg
Baden-Württemberg had a mandatory mass Tb testing programme until 1983 while Northrhine-Westfalia suspended this in the early 50s. One could speculate that as a derived psychological side effect this also led to higher innoculation rates for both the age group born in this time and for their children.
