This is pretty terrifying to me. Having suffered with hypoxia several times when having pneumonia, the idea that you can experience the negative aspects of it without any of the more obvious symptoms is scary. In my worst situation, were that the case I certainly would have just died at home, most likely while asleep.
Part of my issue with this rush to reopen is I feel like we have a lot of loose ends in terms of how this disease impacts and effects people and we are still trying to figure it out.
There is still no real definitive result on the rate of asymptomatic spread (or in this case hidden symptomatic spread).
Not sure why people want to rush in as guinea pigs.
Florida could have a very weird curve in that when it gets to summer I’m a assuming a much bigger % of their gatherings are going to be indoors with AC. Spring could actually give them a false sense of security. Any parallels with 1918, when no one essentially had AC, will break down.
One thing I’d be curious to see Florida or some other state try, is to limit any public gathering to a) outdoor and b) daytime.
Bigger issue is kids are much more savvy at technology and some zoom classrooms have teachers looking at 30 screenshots of attentive students while they do other things.
I really think the GA situation is really just about absolving the state of economic responsibility for the situation and also helping the owner class to enforce contracts. There’s no way that a bowling alley can profitably operate at 30% of the revenue that they were doing before.
That bowling alley owner goes from being a victim of circumstances outside of his control to a loser that can’t figure out a way to make a profit. The latter designation is more convenient for everyone.
Per the JHU map, 151 cases as of now. That’s +40 overnight after having been stalled a while. I kinda think there just isn’t much testing happening there.
lol A parade. If you were brainstorming ways to get everyone sick this might be at the top of the list. It’s 100% going to happen in the terrible timeline we’re living in.
So, that article about minor viral populations within patients looks pretty legit, and my associates working on somewhat related stuff are taking it seriously. It could use some further confirmation, and it’s not the largest sample size, but at least the first glance at it makes it seem like decent work.
