Yes, which is eventually where I got to with 4 pages to read. Disengaging from moderators helps as well. You can't save every idiot.

"The younger you are, probably the less likely you are to be able to transmit the disease," he said. "Once you get to high school age, you're going to be a little bit more concerned, [and] once you're in college age, you're going to be a lot concerned."

Thanks for doing my research for me LT Dan. I didn't have time to click on the link. Had to get back to another Zoom meeting.

With a few exceptions, even with the diversity of opinion here, I think we do a pretty fair job of self-moderation.
It's all about mutual respect.

Agreed. Out of America's entire student population, I think the little ones are the students in need of being in school the most.

We were right there
I think it's time we've started moving the conversation beyond binary 'dead/alive' and start talking about managing recoveries and long term health.
"less people are dying" is a good thing, "more people getting a disease with potentially problematic long term effects" including leaving you vulnerable to insurance cos/uninsured due to covid being a preexisting condition is something we have to face down particularly as the ongoing conversation is about school openings and the case load of medical professionals.
Luckily we're only getting better at treating this thing and the vaccine seems to be on the horizon but that doesn't come as much solace to the folks who are experiencing debilitating issues for months on end.
Agreed.
It’s such a difficult thing to deal with. You just don’t know what you will get with it. It is so much better to teach in the classroom. I really want to do it 100%. Those risk are real tho even if taking precautions to mitigate. Taking it home to families is a scary thought. There is a lot of nuisance in such a decision. I teach a population of students 18-22 Years old (young adults) with underlying conditions. It is difficult to teach SPED online. Some of my students and parents didn’t even try. I get wanting to go back but I do not think it is the right time yet. Nothing will be satisfying here and I think it’s going to be a rough year.

The pre-existing condition problem is something Congress needs to act on in quick order. Sadly, they won't because every time an issue like this comes up both sides want "comprehensive reform" and to pack a bill with their own particular brand of BS when just addressing a single issue (portable insurance or a requirement to provide affordable insurance for pre-existing conditions) would be a great improvement for the American people.

This is the worst day yet for non-SNF deaths. 21
Wed: 21
Tues: 5
Mon: 1
Sun: 2
Sat : 3
Fri: 6
Thu:17
7.85 average non SNF deaths a day. That makes me really miss the 2.5 days...
ICU cases went up 1
Hospitalization went up 10
911 positives is more than yesterday's 865 but is under 1k, so that is kinda good
20.14% positive test rate today
f*** me.... we aren't getting off of the watchlist anytime soon

COVID-19 is never going away.
Did you ever worry about this with any other illness?

another article about younger people ending up in the hospital
Miami Hospital ICU Doctor: New Influx Of Patients Is Younger Than Before
Snips
And one Miami doctor is particularly worried about the type of people he's now seeing lots of in the ICU: young people with no medical history.
Yes, they're younger patients. [Their] age, last time, was probably around 65. Now, our average age is between 25 to 35, 45 years old.
That's one big change. Much younger patients, pretty much healthy. Not really major past medical history.
We are not seeing that much obesity. I know there are some reports about obesity, but at least in the ICU, I would guess maybe 20% of patients are obese. Most of them are pretty young and healthy patients.
And also they get sicker than the previous [wave]. Mortality has not been a major issue because they are younger patients. But I think as the days go on, we might also see a change in mortality

I keep hearing deaths aren't going up, but every time you post numbers they seem to be saying the exact opposite. Must be my mistake...
How many other once-in-a-hundred-years illnesses have you seen in your lifetime?
Lt Dan
F*** your ice cream!
It's all how you play with the numbers
Our deaths are absolutely going up in Orange county
Our deaths are absolutely going up in California
US total though? Down because NYC , NJ, PA, CT, and Mass have really dialed back their deaths
Make sense?
Well, in NYC's case, they killed all the vulnerable people early.
Bird flu. SARS. MERS. H1N1. Zika. Ebola. None of those seemed to shut anything down.
Generally. They're obviously not the same, but they are deadly, highly infectious, and don't shut down the country. They're also shown to be more dangerous to children.
Most were regulated to certain areas and did not have a worldwide outbreak. If an outbreak occurred in my town, yes I would be concerned.
