That's actually a misnomer. Don't understandable one since they're being used interchangeably in the news.

Coronavirus (shortened version of SARS-Cov2 aka severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and originally called Hcov-19 aka Human Corona virus 2019) is the virus. Covid-19 is the disease....ie Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Surgeon's masks aren't airtight.
most infections, and almost all of the most serious infections (anecdotal evidence), are coming from direct contact.

a surgical mask will reduce the risk or severity of direct contact

Bill Gates today said this in an AMA...if you believe he was actually the one answering

"Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it."

I speculate he intends on implementing a Social Credit Microchip that can be used for your purchasing, and turned off and on if you are being a good citizen or not. At first it will be a digital certificate on your phone, then the chip will come next.

yay

I will switch to Barter on principle

Self sufficient farmer/hunter I will become...although that will probably become illegal eventually.

I will not live in a packed city, that I know.

I haven't read that as yet. Where did you? Not disputing, I just haven't heard it.
I called my local ER yesterday and they really sounded like they had everything in hand. And my county Santa Clara has the most cases in CA.

Not disputing that there isn't mass panic but they at least seem to have enough tests.

Why call and waste their time?

No they are not. Nor is any mask.

Respectfully however, any mask acts as more of a filter than no mask at all, especially if walking through a room of potential corona virus infected air.


Namaste.
