Coronavirus discussion thread (no political debates) V

My kids wear masks when they go anywhere, but that is only because Eastern Ontario has made it mandatory to wear masks in any place of business because they are afraid of spreading our zero cases around to others.

I know it seems like overkill, but in all honestly, the best time to be overly vigilant is when our numbers our trending in the right direction. If we were in an upward trend, it would not have the same impact.

It's a very minor inconvenience under the circumstances. I've gotten used to wearing a mask every time I go shopping or run errands, and it's really not a big deal whatsoever.

We have now come full circle from the early days of the "hug a Chinese person" campaign in Italy.

View media item 7736Such inconvenience wearing a mask. Wonder what some would think about wearing urine-soaked rags so they could survive gas attacks.

More than 11,000 children test positive for coronavirus in Florida

"kids can't get it"

That number is actually up to 17k now. It was 7k July 1st.

Were there people saying kids can’t get it? That’s some crazy stuff as I’ve never heard that before. But wouldn’t surprise me. Luckily they are low risk for developing serious symptoms.

I felt strongly enough about this kids and Covid-19 to log in and rant.

Although I do not have young children, there is no way I would expose them to relatively an unknown virus like SARS-CoV-2 no way.

What are the long term health effects, no one can tell you.

You protect your kids. You do not volunteer them to be a human experiment with an unknown virus.

How does asbestos kills? LIke 5 to 10 to 20 years down the road.

Some diseases kill in the long term in absolute certainty.

We do not know what Covid-19 leaves us with.

Why volunteer your children to something, that only has potentially server downside risks, and virtually no upside.

The schools should remain closed until this pandemic is over.

I understand the concern, but the long term effects of not going to school and not interacting with other kids has to be considered as well.

So... no cases worldwide? 5 cases? 100?

 

[Polaris1010]

R0, pronounced R naught, below 1, perhaps at 0.5 and wait two or three weeks after that.

Contact tracing must be improved, and the government has to be vigilant at that.

Without a vaccine, it is rather clear what the authorities have to do.

There is no argument here. Maybe the authorities in our country won't tell us explicitly, but those are the parameters. It is just math, and the pathology of the disease.

was checking the worldometer webstie apparently we were showing decling trend for a while yesterday was around 200 or so cases; all of a sudden we have 500 cases today. WTF happened? where is this coming from? anyone know? I cant find any news about it

It is catch 22. Results at the end will be the judgement.
I guess at the end will come down to each individual choice unless there is another lockdown.

A lot of provinces like BC and Alberta are not giving updates on the weekend like Quebec and Ontario do. So on Monday you will have 2 days from those provinces instead of just one.

Thanks!

I freaked a little because we were just about to move into phase 3.

Hopefully, cases just keep trending down for the rest of the week

My older son's private school just notified parents that there will be 3 available options in September - regular attendance, virtual classes, or a hybrid schedule including both.

Unless our numbers are close to zero by then, my wife and I don't feel comfortable sending him to school. I am perfectly content to have him attend classes virtually until the pandemic is over.

Schools are opening in Florida in as little as 3 weeks from now.

You can't take too many precautions, this bug is nasty. Some people have blood clots, kidney failure, strokes, heart attacks, decreased lung function, and on and on and on...

CDC's 'best estimate' is 40 percent COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic

In the update, posted July 10, the CDC said the basic reproduction number or the number of people one person "is likely to infect" is 2.5, and the infectiousness level of asymptomatic people is 75 percent, relative to symptomatic patients.

Just we're not being attacked with gas. lirl. These ridiculous strawmen...

Didn't know under which thread to stick this. This one seemed closest :
I wonder if the league talked to Marchand about attempting another stupid act like licking a player this year!
Automatic ejection for the rest of the PO I would imagine.

Awesome! Also, a great new filter for air circulation has been developed that one can put in offices, schools, airplanes, airports etc. (below) Kills 99.8% of airborne Coronavirus.

Everything has a beginning, middle, and end in life. Everything! Avoid doomsday "things will never be the same" scenarios. It does nothing but bring about unnecessary anxiety.

Watching the news and it’s stunning how many selfishly stupid people there are out there. Obtaining a fake medical exemption card in hopes you don’t need to wear a mask when entering a hospital resets the bar.

This is never going to end.

when enough people get it, it will end.

I can't come to terms with why there's no contagious bio-hazardous material protocol for discarded masks. We just gonna let minimum wage kids taking out bags of biohazard waste? I honestly don't know how sanitation isn't making noise about this.
