True story.

In a dorm of 3 students, 1 of 3 tests positive after the positive kid already had low fever and symptoms, they quarantine and isolate the 3. 5 days later the cv-19+ positive kid tests negative now and is out running/exercising and the other two test negative....this is using the swab that damned near hits your brain.

The Youth don't get hurt (well, most of them) from COVID-19. We could round up everyone over 55, put them in concentrated areas where they can camp out away from society until the young people have herd immunity. We can let the old people out in a year or so when we have enough vaccines for them.

It had nothing to do with the kid exercising, it was about 3 kids living an a room roughly 12x12 and the other two did not contract it...no they did not wear masks in their rooms.

now you're acting like that wouldn't have had a better universal outcome if done from day 1.

Ah. Was it a single dorm room, or like a 3 room dorm with a shared bathroom? Did the other kids have COVID prior to this, or is that not known? Lotta factors at play.

Single room dorm, the other two do not have antibodies.

I can think of multiple options that would have been much better than rounding the elderly up in concentration camps away from society, and much better than what we've dealt with.

Cool. They should go out and buy some lottery tickets. Glad to hear they didn't get it though.

Contagiousness appears to vary greatly from person to person. For all these anecdotes about low contagion, we have 150,000+ new cases today, and more tomorrow, and more the day after that.

i'm sure your phone is ringing off the hook.
concentration camps maybe not necessary, certainly.

sunday and monday are the lower report days, actually. sunday should be lower than tomorrow. at least probably.

Seems like a plan. We have a problem in our town now..... college kids and poor testing...They are having a great time raging down at the beach.

As you can see, it is just disappearing after the election...

All those Biden victory celebrations.
Super spreader events!

In all the red states ...

We seem to be getting hit by the 2nd wave here in Maryland. I guess if you wanted to refer to Democrats as leftists and thus Reds, you could call it a red state.

Here in Montgomery county, you are now required to leave contact information if you eat in a group at a restaurant.

How Australia brought the coronavirus pandemic under control

"Lockdowns, contact tracing and public adherence to tough rules credited for success"

A double edged sword if implemented 100% across the board. The other edge of the sword will drive a huge number of bars and restaurants out of business forever. They can't survive at 50% capacity with nobody being allowed to "belly up" to the bar. Many of these places make the lion share of their profits on liquor sales. A bunch of the bars where i live that are big into the craft beers on tap had to throw obscene amounts of product down the drain when they were shut down. They had to eat that expense. We all want to beat this virus. We all should understand it comes at a terrible cost to good people who have invested every penny they own into their bars and restaurants. I guess to save the patient you sometimes have to kill thye patient in the process.

We have blown a lot of money across a lot of industustries that didn't need the bailout. We could have spent 1/3 the money if we concentrated our efforts on supoorting the bar/restaurant industry. Less spread, more mobility and less economic damage......
