Did you get out to enjoy the nice weather? You're not alone. New York City is still essentially shut down, but at Central Park, it looked almost like a normal Saturday.

WTF.! World should have listened to WHO' on #coronavirus: Director General Tedros

I am confused. Was this meant to be funny?

Nope just pointing out hypocrisy

Quebec will begin re-opening its elementary schools and daycares on May 11, Quebec Premier Francois Legault announced Monday, but only if the state of COVID-19 in the province's hospitals continues to remain stable.
Elementary schools in the Montreal region will follow suit eight days later, opening on May 19.

On New Year’s Eve, when a Canadian company called BlueDot first got an alert from its computer system that a mysterious disease was spreading in China, their algorithm started churning through data to predict where coronavirus would go next. https://cbsn.ws/3bHPZ49

Just found out one of my best friends tested positive for this. He's in good spirits, and breathing is fine. Under self quarantine for the time being. Has a body rash and no sense of taste or smell, but said other than that he feels fine. Hoping it's a mild case and he's back on his feet soon.

Sorry to hear this. I hope it doesn't get worse and that he heals quickly

Got that message from the City of Somerville today and couldn't be happier. While I think the City of Somerville and a lot of residents are doing a good job, there is still a concerning amount of people out and about (especially joggers) not wearing masks. This only works if everyone is doing their part, the least you can do is wear a mask.

I fail to see the logic in wearing a mask while you're jogging or walking separate from others. Just another measure to alarm people and give others a chance to judge.

Best wishes to your friend, you stay away from him. How old is he? Do most people get a rash, if yes, I missed that point?

Spots On Toes And Rashes Join Weird New Symptoms Of Coronavirus

In one report from Italy, 20% of the patients had a skin rash, half at the onset of illness, and half later. There was not one specific type of rash; some were like hives, others a lacy pattern called livedo reticularis, and others were described as “chilblains” or “pernio,” with frostbite like lesions, and some were even like chickenpox.

With the warm weather everyone wants to be out which is making it impossible to social distance.

It is supposed to be in the 60's this weekend and the parks and trails are going to be jam packed yet again.

Australia has been warned by the Chinese ambassador that it could face an economic hit if it does not back down from a push into the nation’s handling of the coronavirus. https://skynews.com.au/details/_6152226957001

I certainly hope the media picks up on these numbers and broadcasts as loudly as they do the daily death counts.

15% of NY state and 24% of the city is a ton of people and clearly moves the needle on the overall death rate. One would think that type of news would be shouted from the rooftops.

ooff...........best wishes.

I try not to wish bad things for people so I guess I’m just hoping she learns from this and works just as hard to keep people safe as she did to endanger them.

Sadly it will get buried. I am looking forward to seeing the numbers here from the Mass General study

Its being publicized but there is a catch.....although folks are producing antibodies nobody knows yet if its enough to not get infected again.

Thats why blood/plasma donation is sought to run tests. for both short term reopening of things and possible pathway to a vaccine.

Its 'no repeat' that will be an absolute game changer if there.

It is the same here....All people goes out when temperatures warm up. Easier task for social distances when it is cold outside.

Gee Wally, do you know if blood test has been done to identify if C19 has mutation and if someone can have it more than once. All i read seem that nothing can prove or not this element.

If you live in a densely populated place like Somerville a lot of times people either don't, or it is hard to maintain 6ft distance. Masks provide an additional barrier, and if you have covid (and are asymptomatic) a mask combined with social distancing are effective to prevent you from infecting other people.

If you are running, you are breathing more heavily and it's possible water droplets can travel further than the prescribed 6ft. This hasn't been peer reviewed yet, but what's the harm in wearing a mask?

Are we really at a point where people are alarmed at the sight of masks, even when some stores have started requiring patrons to wear them?

What are people going to judge you about?

If a person is expected to social distance, I think they are to be trusted to do so. Now if that person doesn't do a good job then shame on them, but if we are going to start anointing ourselves social judges based on what we THINK someone might or might not be able to do, that's a problem IMO.

If people are somehow walking around outside and actively WORRIED about contracting it from people on the road, then just stay far enough away and protect yourself. Or, don't go out. Clearly people walking and running are equally aware of the coronavirus.

But people are, aren't they? If it's not a law to wear a mask, why are we talking about it? Obviously stores and private business I'd exclude from this...seems fair and reasonable to expect people to wear them there, if they aren't already mandated by the store.

And I would argue yes, people are alarmed at it. I know my kids are. I think a massive deviation from normal behavior would alarm any kid.
