It’s insane to even talk about with a highly effective vaccine in production.

I don’t have time to read this in detail now but I do love that it confirms the least amount of circulating particles when all the windows are open.
A new study looks at how airflow patterns inside the passenger cabin of a car might affect the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens. Using computer simulations, the study looked at the risk of aerosol particles being shared between a driver and a passenger in different window configurations. Redder shades indicate more particles. Risk was shown to be higher with windows closed (top left), and decreasing with each window opened. The best case was having all windows open (bottom right). Credit: Breuer lab / Brown University

Very much this. I feel shitty for that but I’m really messed up from covid. Despite the danger, going back to teach will be better so long as everybody in the school abides by the rules.

I want to see a Venn diagram of people playing the Powerball and people who think that even if they get it they will probably survive.

Does this mean in all of Africa only 40000 people will die of Covid in 2020? What am I misunderstanding? That cannot possibly be true.
Glad to hear you didn’t get it too bad. As someone considering sending our 3.5 year old back to preschool/daycare in January, I’m interested in hearing more about your experience with the daycare. Did the kids wear masks? Did the daycare do anything to improve ventilation?
Just wanted to attach this article as well

Isn’t this kind of modeling similar to what @zarapochkadoee?
I have a friend who had it in March, his hair is still falling out, he gets debilitating migraines, and he gets extremely weak/fatigued at times.

Just be careful about the covid long hauler stuff peeps. That topic is setup to have a lot of very bad science behind it.

Birx just said colleges who tested all students weekly and quarantined pozzes only infected 1% of their students. Those who tested only exposed/systematic like the US is doing infected 10%.
So assuming she’s not full of shit (given the source), the US could have 1/10th the spread if the administration only changed one thing back in the spring: expand testing and tracing to test everyone in the workforce weekly.
There could have been creative ways to do it with fewer tests too, by altering work schedules.
I’m still feeling pretty rough this morning. A low grade fever/cough/headache are the main symptoms. If this isn’t better by the end of the day I am going to get a test scheduled. It has been easy to isolate this weekend as I never go anywhere anyways and my wife has been working all weekend but I am starting to realize if I have to completely quarantine for a couple weeks that is going to be a disaster with regard to work not to mention obviously dealing with the virus. I still have taste and smell and no sore throat so I am really hoping this is just alcohol withdrawal from deciding to take a break for a while.
ETA-Pulse ox 90 and a resting heart rate of 112. Seems not promising.

You need to go to the ER if that pulse ox is a real reproducible reading on several fingers.
HR could be just fever related but I admit with that resting pulse ox
How accurate are Samsung phone pulse ox readers? I have taken it pretty regularly and I am in the 97-98 range normally.
