Looks like we are going to have week over week growth in new cases 2 days in a row for the first time in a few weeks after today. Could be noise or it could be the first signs of the OFS wave.

Counting gimmicks, 467 atm.

So call it 440 then expect 22 pozz @5%

Tho it’s more like 10% if you go by 5x known cases in US so more like 44 pozz

And we have 0 confirmed

Following basic medical best practices works, apparently (plus some luck considering the medical workers we have on the board).

It’s real.

Hmm. I looked but couldn’t find the post. Maybe misread something where someone had a close call. So we’re still at 0 confirmed.

How many women check a lot of boxes for you?

If she’s high up on your list, go for it.

Gonna be tough dating someone during a pandemic when they don’t take it seriously and are in a high risk occupation.

I haven’t taken a test yet.

One would think that teachers would be required to take one before going to school even if they aren’t symptomatic. Yet, here I am untested and ready to teach on Monday.

My friend’s wife is a grad student there. She told me today that is an absolute shit show and no one cares. Who would have thought that drunk college students would suck at preventing spread of contagious disease…

Hard for me to celebrate deaths at an assisted living facility. Living there is not a pleasant experience.

Way different compared to golfing every day and living healthily into one’s eighties on a high salary while condemning immigrants and people of color.

Myocarditis raises the risk for sudden cardiac death in elite athletes, according to the American College of Cardiology, explaining the attention around the Big 10 football players, a conference that last month canceled its fall football season. Essentially, football players and other patients will have to be monitored by doctors for signs of irregular heartbeat and blood markers showing signs of continuing damage to heart muscle. Some myocarditis patients require medication to maintain a regular heartbeat.

Other viruses — including some flus, for example — also cause heart inflammation, seen in perhaps 1% to 5% of patients, Elkind said, but the incidence in COVID-19 seems significantly higher, perhaps 10% to 15% even in patients without major symptoms.

“This is a serious, deadly disease that does more than just kill people, but leaves others with potential long-term consequences they may have to live with for a long time,” he said.

The lack of likes on your village post does not signal a sudden lack of interest in these posts. It’s just a standard deskewing of your likes/post.

So keep posting them.

I honestly cannot believe I haven’t gotten it. Haven’t been swabbed ever though, was antibody negative in May. Never had any symptoms to suggest I need it. I’ve been in such high risk situations so many times it’s kind of insane.

How dare you disrespect the godfather pizza magnate

If a person isn’t taking this serious that’s a pretty big clue

Either dumb

Or selfish

Or both.

Herman Cain’s close associates using his social media to push pro-Trump shit after he died from attending a Trump rally is the most gholulish, Black Mirror shit ever. Charlie Daniels’s Twitter account is also sending messages from beyond the grave. Maybe this is a trend?

Am I the only one who gets legitimately creeped out by this shit? Lord Jesus, I don’t want to live in a world where Chadwick Boseman’s corpse is shilling Coca-Cola on Twitter from beyond the grave. This is some unholy necromancy shit, just let people rest in peace when they die, FFS.

As the Bard says: “God, please allow me to preach for him; a voiceless man through a spirit—I speak for him.”

The interviews revealed a striking pattern: Before they died, about two dozen patients first sought care at a hospital, which then discharged them, in many cases sending them home to die with hospice care. All were Black. The vast majority came from Ochsner Health, the largest hospital network in Louisiana, which treated 60% of the region’s critically ill coronavirus patients.

It hurt enough for Johnson’s children to lose her, but then, there was what her medical records revealed: That the decision to recommend hospice was influenced by a doctor’s questionable speculation on her mental capacity; that on the day she was discharged home, her kidneys had improved to the point that she was no longer in renal failure; that with additional treatment, according to one expert who reviewed her case for ProPublica, she probably could have survived.
