Then trend it alongside the stats showing average morbidity by city to show that they just moved deaths from one category to another with no actual increase in average death rates.

A big part of it is animal safety and how their food is produced.

The current strain is thought to have originated in an open air market in Wuhan where loads of different wildlife species were in close quarters without any santiary precautions.

Swine flu and bird flu also are like that as was the. 1918 spanish flu.

Basically, anytime you have different species in tight confines, you can have cross transmission.

A couple years ago there was another virus that infected pigs in china where they had to slaughter a huge portion of the population because there was no treatment/vaccine for it. That particular one was also highly transmissable and I think caused illness in humans as well.

Something like this but up to date and clear numbers is what we need.

I find it fascinating that CA is locked down again - it must be from the people eating in restaurants and bars. No fault of any of the protest/rioters...

My wife (30) is a special education teacher for the very low performing kids at a low-income school in Texas. They just found out that in person classes will start Aug 6th.

In her class there are three kids with downs syndrome, one with a severe endocrine system issue, and two with severe autism.

In her group, 4/6 are severely immunocompromised.

Any of you with kids know that you can't keep them from putting stuff in their mouths on the best of days.

Because this is mandatory, what is going to happen when one of them gets sick? How are kids going to keep from bringing this home with them, symptomatic or not? Elementary aged kids may not be as severe (though they are finding damage in asymptomatic cases now) but they can still carry it back to parents who spread or get sick.

Texas keeps breaking records on new cases and hospitilizations and they have decided to go full steam into packing kids back into classrooms.

This is a time bomb.

Stupidity wins again...

Doubt the effectiveness of cheap simple masks?

Right before COVID really hit, I ordered a bunch of masks with replaceable charcoal filters to wear while mowing our lawn. I get torn up for about 3 days after mowing the lawn from allergies so I was ready to start trying things.

I’ve worn it 4 times now and the result is not even a sniffle or single sneeze. I still get watery eyes but drops take care of that pretty quick.

Last weekend, I was in a rush and couldn’t find the mask so I went ahead without it and it tore me up bad. I won’t be doing that again anytime soon. Especially now that wearing a mask is so much more common.

I’m sure I have neighbors laughing at me wondering why I’m wearing a mask alone out in the sun but I really don’t care.

As for COVID prevention, It is literally the very least we could do.

Last week a good friend of ours had a checkup scheduled. She has Crones Disease. She requested "Telemedicine Appointment", They said no, she had to come in. Monday They called her and said "You need to go get tested, there was a patient in our office at the same time that just reported being Positive. She goes and gets tested. Positive also..... She wore a mask the whole time. She does not go out in public. Well, My wife was with her Thursday, they were doing some running around. My wife would go into the store and come back. So, She goes and gets tested tuesday as soon as Abbe got her results. We now have to wait until tomorrow to see if she is positive as well. Because of this I cannot go up to see my father. I am not worried about passing it to him, but I am my mom. So, until we get results back I am stuck. Tuesday my Daddy was responsive and actually talking, Yesterday he was completely out. Today he is semi responsive. We know this is part of the process. We so so god damn pissed off at this Dr's Office, My Wife see's him also (GI Dr). All they had to do was do the damn check up appointment by phone, no blood or samples was taken.
