1. One Scientific view of COVID vaccines:
   … To jab, or not to jab …
   That’s the question … especially if you only have the Sino Vaccine or the Sputnik 5 Vaccine available.
   Because there are no dry-ice facilities here in Yucatan to protect the fragile Pfizer vaccine when it’s out at the dispenseries … we likely will have NONE of the top 3 vaccines here, for months …. until Moderna delivers a 300,000 or so doses here in the Yucatan Peninsula … (because Yucatan’s relatively low rates** of new COVID infections is so much lower than other parts of Mexico who are suffering much worse)
   That’s Where Reality Steps In:
   If the Sino Vaccine or the Sputnik 5 vaccines are the only ones available here…. and if you get the Sino or Sputnik Vaccine … Then … go get blood tested for anti-COVID ANTIBODIES at a local lab…. 2 weeks after the last Vaccine injection. … IF the scientific test results prove you have a high serum COVID-antibody titer results, then YOUR”RE PROTECTED.
   This is a reliable approach because … our bodies’ responses to the COVID Vaccines have been 10X to 100X higher antibody levels, than antibody levels from “natural” COVID infections.
   Why are there concerns about the Sino Vaccine & the Sputnik 5 Vacccine?

BEAT COVID NOW with Proven Solutions … aka COVID Keeps Spreading Because We Are Still Doing the Wrong Things by yucalandia

2. January 5, 2021

Think about why 26 million New Zealanders & Taiwanese people have only 32 COVID deaths, while the USA, Mexico, & Canada have over 500,000 COVID deaths … of which, 425,000 of them died unnecessarily (per the head of Harvard Medical School).

Why have we unnecessarily killed 425,000 North Americans?

Basically, it’s because the USA, Mexico & Canada chose to follow 12 months of non-scientist Medical Doctors very wrong, very dangerous, ineffective advice … Top scientists were writing last March, 2020 that “Wash Your Hands”, “Disinfect Everything”, and “Socially Distance 6 Feet” … would somehow magically stop COVID’s airborne transmission by our inhaling invisible fine aersols from people talking, especially indoors.

Then, 7 months too late, (and continuing now), the non-scientist Medical Doctors continue to ignore 20 yrs of COVID Science, SARS Science & Aerosol Science reports, by telling us to wear ..”cloth masks” and “face-coverings” … even though it has been proven for years that 70% leaky cloth masks leak far too many highly-infectious COVID invisible fine aerosols – meaning all the cloth mask wearers are still spreading COVID.

Solving the COVID problem requires us to blend & follow the scientific results of 4 different areas: Virology of Upper Respiratory Viruses, proven Public Health programs, Medical treatments, and the 40 yrs of Aerosol Science of how to stop highly infectious COVID fine aerosols emitted people talking…

This means that Medical Doctors (like Faucci of CDC), and even the virologists, have continued to ignore the key BIG current issues of our mistakes …. because the l’st 12 months of their mistakes are what’s spreading COVID:

Use TIGHT-fitting Medical Grade Masks ONLY !
1. ~ Cloth masks need to go into the trash ~ … TODAY !

Cloth masks generally leak 70% – because it takes 16 LAYERS of cotton cloth to equal just ONE medical grade mask …

70% leakage by cloth masks – causes wearers to inhale way too many highly-infectious invisible COVID fine aerosols … 70% leakage of crap cloth masks is a huge part of 500,000 unnecessary dead Americans & Mexican … 70% leakage is causing 23 million people still getting COVID here, because their cloth masks are guaranteed to fail when we need them most. (and Yes, Virginia, “facecovering” are totally bogus, offering no protection. )

2. ~ The Medical Doctor’s “6 ft rule” has always been unscientific & wrong.
8 ft to 10 ft +plus effective fresh air movement, are needed to protect people when masks are off to eat or drink. The non-scientific Medical Doctor’s guess of a “6 ft Rule” is based on magical Medical Doctor’s magical unscientific unrealistic imaginings that the invisible COVID fine aerosols magically move out in all directions simultaneously, to make a uniformly infectious cloud around the talker.

This Medical Doctors’ magical idea is completely wrong, and always has been. Simple scientific calculations, AND 40 years of measurements by Aerosol Scientists on these fine aerosols … prove the aerosols move out in plumes, just like plumes of cigarette smoke … like tongues of vapor … often going out 8 ft in JUST ONE direction … at still highly-infectious concentrations.

PROVEN REALITY: Somewhere between 8 – 10 ft, the infectious fine aerosols disperse to safe levels, UNLESS there is a flow of fresh air – from a fan or a breeze.

This means we are still having huge problems of narrow specialists NOT KNOWING, not learning the key critical facts from the multi-disciplinarians … A good scientist has to read over 20 yrs of scientific reports from 4 fields …. It requires blending the knowledge & details of a good virologist, a good Public Health expert, a good Medical Doctor, AND a good Aerososol Scientist.

How can an ordinary reader possibly plow through over 90 key research reports and then assemble the key disparate facts from 4 different disciplines? … Fortunately, you don’t have to … This task was done … and published … last March, 2020:

**https://yucalandia.com/2020/03/30/how-to-keep-yourself-safe-from-covid-19-sars-cov-2/

Read this good technical article** from last March – based on over 90 research reports from all four critical areas – to read what we should have been doing… and what we should be doing … now… Because it explains why we have needlessly killed over 300,000 Americans (per the Heads of both Harvard & Brown Universities Medical Schools) and killed over 100,000 Mexicans … by doing unscientific things for the last 12 straight months.

Then read the latest information on COVID vaccines & How to get vaccinated effectively:

Latest COVID Vaccine Information for the Yucatan & Mexico

= = = =
Sadly … ONLY Taiwan & New Zealand have followed Science since last January … blessing themselves with just 32 COVID deaths, out of 26 million citizens.

We can change … and BEAT COVID NOW …. by finally making the small changes of wearing only tight-fitting medical grade masks … 8 – 10 ft Social distances … or fans, breezes moving in fresh air.

or … We can continue to suffer, by following the very wrong … 12 months of failed advice … of non-scientist Medical Doctors.

Finally, notice that vaccines will likely not be available to most of us, until next Summer, so, it’s time to choose: Keep doing the failed-unscientific Medical Doctor’s proven failed-approaches … or … Wear only a tight-fitting medical grade mask (N95 or KN95) and Socially Distance by 8 ft to 10 ft, with fresh air movement when eating or drinking without a mask.

and … After you get your COVID vaccination, consider getting an inexpensive fast COVID antibody lab test, 2 wks later, to prove you have good levels of the protective antibodies.

Stay safe out there…

This is the medical report for this Monday, January 4:

As we have pointed out, in the economic reopening the most important data are hospital occupancy and daily income. Today we have 168 patients in public hospitals.

23,225 patients have already recovered: they do not have symptoms and cannot be contagious. This figure represents 86% of the total registered infections, which are 26,796.

Today 78 new infections of Coronavirus were detected.

38 in Mérida,

10 in Progress,

8 in Valladolid,

4 in Tinum,

3 in Ticul and in Tizimín,

2 in Dzitás and Tekax, and

2 foreigners, and

1 in Dzemul, Hunucmá, Temozón, Tetiz, Tixpéual and Umán.

Of the 26,796 positive cases, 233 are from another country or state.

Report Jan. 12 2021

As you can see, the virus experience is no different here than elsewhere.

Coronavirus is spreading more quickly across Mexico than at any other time in the pandemic.

Active coronavirus cases in Yucatán rose by 43% in one week after the dreaded post-holiday surge in contagions began. The total number of patients battling COVID-19 was 898 on Monday after 269 tested positive for coronavirus in seven days.

New infections on Monday totaled 109, bringing to 27,600 the number of cases found in Yucatán since March. Five men and three women, between 57 to 84, perished.

Most new cases were in Mérida, at 109. Another nine were in Valladolid, eight in Peto, two in Ticul, Tinum and Yaxkabá; and one in Chichimilá, Kanasín, Motul, Progreso, San Felipe, Tekax and Tizimín. A “foreigner,” from somewhere outside Yucatán, also tested positive.

Hospitalizations have increased 47% in two weeks, and the field hospital set up in the Siglo XXI convention center remains on standby for overflow patients, said Gov. Mauricio Vila Dosal. Private hospitals have all the coronavirus patients they can take, so new admissions are restricted to the public medical centers.

Across Mexico

The infections mirror a national crisis. Coronavirus is spreading more quickly in Mexico than at any other time in the pandemic.

The federal health ministry reported 107,945 new cases the first 10 days of January, including a record 16,105 cases on Saturday.

Holiday celebrations and relaxed protocols were to blame, said Malaquías López, a public health professor at the National Autonomous University and spokesperson for the university’s COVID-19 commission.

Deaths have also increased at a rapid pace, up by 9.5% so far this month compared to the final 10 days of 2020.

The more contagious strain of the coronavirus made its way to Mexico. The Tamaulipas Health Ministry said it was detected in a 56-year-old British national who was recently in the United Kingdom.

Jesús Ramírez, President Manuel Andrés López Obrador’s spokesman, said Sunday that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

“I am in good health but I’ll be working from home following all the sanitary protocols,” he wrote on Twitter, two days after being seen passing a microphone to the president while neither wore a face mask. AMLO has not gone into isolation despite the contact. Source: SSY, Diario de Yucatán
