Re: risk zones

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

after private discussion, I think I should clarify myself.

The communication coming from up to down is changing daily.  Yesterday I 
was directed to a definition of a risk zone as being as one of '6 or 
more cases per region AND 1 per 100.000 people'.  That definition 
disappeared.  I have no trace, just my memory.

Now it now longer says that.

There are more examples of communications from up to down that change 
daily.  The wear of a 'surgeon mask' is a clear case: it was said a few 
days ago it does not protect, but the 3M FFP does.  Today it says the 
reverse.  A person invoked scientific evidence of that.

Reason should prevail.

Common sense and immediate thought do work now.  Some may call that 
'anecdotical report' but for me they are needed.
