[jcam_44]

The coronavirus has hit one of my best friends. He, his wife whom is pregnant and their daughter all have different symptoms. Crazy! Stay safe out there.

Let me flip this, it's actually *relatively* good news - places that have managed to significantly reduce cases can now catch and end outbreaks early.

 

Try again.  They didn't end anything, 100 million people are on renewed lockdown.

I’ve read articles recently where these kinds of incidents have become confrontational and violent. Managers and employees are right but these incidents have also become political.

Unless the law has changed, when entering private property you don’t have the to decide what rules of the property owner you wish to comply with.

And they'll lift the new lockdown once the latest outbreak ends, presumably quicker than the initial one in Wuhan.

This is a highly contagious illness without a vaccine and very low immunity among the population - you'll periodically have flareups even in countries that are doing a good job.  But in those countries, the flareups will typically be smaller/shorter.

And "many" more will die!

Yes, but far fewer in countries that have managed to suppress this epidemic... and economic activity has recovered closer to normal in those, too.

Really sad for the USA.

A coworker my wife works closely with has tested positive.  My wife spent a lot of time with her during the incubation period.  We are all healthy so far.  Here's hoping that no one else got infected.

Sorry, but I don't get your point.

Customer had CV and then employee at same restaurant

2 months later - long, hidden incubation, unless employee got it from somewhere/someone else.

That doesn’t necessarily prove a causal relationship.

My oldest daughter's childhood friend and her husband got it. Even though they're both only 30 years old, it's really doing a number on them. My daughter's friend says it's just like the regular flu for her but her husband is having serious breathing problems and they're talking about putting him on a ventilator if it doesn't start getting better. I've read that once you get put on a ventilator, your chance of survival drops quite a bit.

I think (don't really know) that it's not cause and effect-- you don't get put on a ventilator till you're in big trouble.  Presumably. the ventilator increases your chance of survival.

Being young is no guarantee. Mara Gay, who is a member of The NY Times Editorial Board, is young and a runner and she got it and as she says in the following article “The day before I got sick, I ran three miles, walked 10 more, then raced up the stairs to my fifth-floor apartment as always, slinging laundry with me as I went. The next day, April 17, I became one of the thousands of New Yorkers to fall ill with Covid-19. I haven’t felt the same since.”

I wondered what had happened to Mara Gay, I was missing her on TV.

Sorry to hear about her bout, and wishing her a full recovery.

Ontario public schools will remain remote learning through end of school year (late June for us).  Some talk of doing some pilots over the summer to see what social distancing in Sept. looks like.  Basically in many, though not all, schools there will not be enough rooms and certainly not enough teachers to thin classes out to 10 or fewer (average class size about 25 in Toronto last year).  Not following what's going on in Quebec as closely.  I think they were going to try to open schools except Montreal, but there may have been some setbacks.  In general, I do think the Quebec premiere is moving too fast with reopening.

For those of you who may be interested, Rite Aid is conducting testing free of charge to you. Here is the link, https://www.riteaid.com/pharmacy/services/covid-19-testing You need to have a google email account but that’s easy enough to set up.

My wife and I did it and it’s a very quick process.
