Just for reference, Italy has three times the population of New York, the best-controlled state after peak, and less than a third of its cases.Italy's update:
+192 new positive cases (total 241611)
+7 new deaths (total 34861)
+164 new recoveries (total 192108)
As long as the New York tri-state area is under some degree of lockdown (no restaurants/bars open) and has high mask usage than it will act as a firewall for the rest of the NE. I doubt their is a large amount of folks from the worst hit states making their way to New England in droves right now.
i'm assuming you saw that report of Bay Area principals meeting in person for no apparent reason and catching the virus, right? if left up to principals and district office staff around the country most schools would open up with zero restrictions whatsoever. they don't care.I'm in CT and I don't know if we're gonna hold out doing well here. People seem to think that we've done it and beaten it and that attitude seems to be spreading. My biggest fear is that we go ahead with school openings (I'm a teacher and know how difficult it's going to be to actually try to distance students) and that makes things even worse.
Didn't hear about that. Our governor is the one who came out and said that we're going back and sent out a bunch of guidelines that all the superintendents and principals are trying to figure out how to implement right now.i'm assuming you saw that report of Bay Area principals meeting in person for no apparent reason and catching the virus, right? if left up to principals and district office staff around the country most schools would open up with zero restrictions whatsoever. they don't care.
i'd like to think the governors will step up in the next few weeks or so and at least delay the beginning of in-person instruction. the closer we get to opening back up the more insane this all feels.
right, ours in VA announced a month ago that kids would be back in the classroom in the fall and sent out a book of guidelines as well. he then clarified after that those guidelines were not official law, so now a handful of superintendents in the state are attempting to file for a waiver from following them at all.Didn't hear about that.

Still no bulletin for France for this weekend, i guess they have abandoned the thought of reporting saturdays and sundays now.
Yeah, glad to see NY turning things around so well now as they were hit the worst when things started.
Very true on the traveling aspect of it too.
Coronavirus pandemic may not have started in China, experts say
Oxford researchers say environmental factors, meat-packing plants, faecal spread warrant closer attention, and that some viruses 'don't come or go anywhere, they are always here'.www.smh.com.au
It was less infectious, but there was a more basic advantage: Containment worked a lot better as you were only infectious when you were showing symptoms.I don't think SARS just disappeared by itself, though? It was contained with a diligent public health response and the virus was not nearly as transmissible as this new one is.

The whole thing seems kind of nutty if I'm being honest, but they're of course welcome to present some evidence for their claim.
Wasn't that proven to be black market stuff? Like illegal cans of weed smoke.I start to wonder if the E-cigs related pneumonia cases of last year might have something to do with Covid.
It's going to be interesting for the "chinese virus" narrative and blaming on China and the WHO if this ends up being true.
We are trying to get our Junior football league in town going. Practice is supposed to start tonight. Got a call last night and a few family members of one of the kids on our team is showing symptoms and is getting tested today.
I was looking through the return to play guidelines, our schools guidelines and there is ZERO mention of what to do when family members might have it.
Obviously we are not going to allow him to come to practice until we know the test results. This entire thing just makes me realize that sports programs and schools are going to be damn near impossible to pull off this year.

They smoked crap, they paid for it. Most of them even admitted it. If it was Covid, we should have at least seen non-vapers get it.I have no idea really. It's just a thought about an hypothetical scenario where some pneumonia outbreaks may have actually been covid before covid

Not to mention there will be people who don't disclose this information in fear of being blamed for shutting down the activity, it's a total mess. Team sports and school stuff just need to be cancelled in the US until a vaccine because we can't help ourselves
So how is it more imfectious? Less virus "particles" makes people sick? Or are people just coughing and sneezing more?

This was linked to vitamin E acetate:
Outbreak of Lung Injury Associated with the Use of E-Cigarette, or Vaping, Products | Electronic Cigarettes | Smoking & Tobacco Use | CDC
CDC is investigating an outbreak of e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI). Learn CDC’s recommendations, and the latest outbreak information.www.cdc.gov
Nah, that was vitamin E acetate, from what I understand.
They would also have tested for viruses and bacteria in those who were struck by that illness, where a new coronavirus would have been identified.
I guess it'll take a while to be sure about where did this novel coronavirus came and how.
This will hopefully put to rest that schools and young kids aren't vectors for outbreaks.
"Our K-2 camp (ages 13-18) will be closed for the remainder of this term
I'm not blaming you for thinking this, but for the hundredth time, this has nothing to do with Houston specifically, it's the strain that has been spreading in the US since it came from Europe. Almost the entire epidemic in the US is from this strain. We just are surer now that it's more contagious than the Wuhan strain.
The headline is shittily misleading, and the tweet is amplifying the shitty misleading. Kyle Griffin's kind of a shitty twitter feed, to be honest.
Conclusions:
T cell counts are reduced significantly in COVID-19 patients, and the surviving T cells appear functionally exhausted. Non-ICU patients with total T cells counts lower than 800/μL may still require urgent intervention, even in the immediate absence of more severe symptoms due to a high risk for further deterioration in condition.
As in, they are vectors? I'm reading they shutdown the camp site after campers (13-18) "given to us from parents of asymptomatic campers already returned home"This will hopefully put to rest that schools and young kids aren't vectors for outbreaks.
Missouri health department: 49 Kanakuk campers, counselors positive for COVID in Stone County
The positive case count increased from Thursday into Friday, according to a state health department spokesperson.www.news-leader.com
It doesn't matter a lot. It comes from bats, infects another animal and that leads to human transmission. All the rest is at this point more political.

These aren't young kids, these are teens. They were not the point of discussion.
