ETA: This person is my go to to see what the idiots are thinking about both politics and Covid. She’s 100% all in on Agenda 21 and all the other derposphere conspiracy theories. She does her research!
This seems like good news for districts imposing universal masking. I don’t recall seeing evidence like this before:
During that time, more than 7,000 children and adults acquired the coronavirus and attended school while infectious. Because of close contact with those cases, more than 40,000 people required quarantine. Through contact tracing and testing, however, we found only 363 additional children and adults acquired the coronavirus. We believe this low rate of transmission occurred because of the mask-on-mask school environment: Both the infected person and the close contact wore masks. Schools provided this protection without expensive screening tests for the coronavirus or massive overhauls in ventilation systems.
Thank God our BoE came to their senses and decided to require universal masking. Haha, sike, they’d never do that.
Pretty sure there was also another less dramatic case of long term side effects from a different vaccine but I’m too lazy to dig it up. CDC has this Historical Safety Concerns | Vaccine Safety | CDC
No kids under 5 until next year is seriously sad times in the Wookie household. MrsWookie was counting on taking them to see her family for at least some good chunk of the holidays.
Starting to get to be nervous times for all the vaxxed folks that made summer/fall vacation plans. I don’t get the sense that people really have the appetite for another round of “you get to sit at home while the derps ride Space Mountain”.
So we have our own version. Son is graduating from Nebraska-Omaha this weekend. We have another son with 2 and 5 year old boys plus my Dad and his gf (91 and 89) going as well
Ive already been on a campaign for indoor masking 100% and we are arranging all meals to be outside or our own private space if indoors.
Graduation is at the hockey arena. We will be masked and able to sit quite a distance as they number of graduates is low due to summer term (normally those that finish In summer walk in spring or fall but Covid…)
All are mRNA vaxxed except the youngins.
I’m sweating it. It was just going to me and my wife plus the ex and her crew. Then my son w the family decided to come which pulled my Dad in.
Since we have learned that my ex has a conceal permit, my wife is more worried about that than Covid. In case you here of a shooting in Omaha this weekend.
Under 5s might not be until well into 2022, I don’t think there’s any sort of timeline on that right now. Just some hope they might have something “soon” after the 5-12 contingent. I’m assuming my under 5 is unvaccinated for the whole 21-22 school year and already wrote off another year of public indoor holiday festivities, although likely will celebrate with family unlike last year (community case level dependent).
Making fall and summer travel plans wasn’t unreasonable for the unvaccinated, but probably time to go ahead and start altering them to be more COVID friendly. We aren’t really to the point where we should be doing normal leisure travel, unfortunately, and hotspot travel is really untenable.
Where does the Florida Dept. Health go for its apology?
When Florida set its COVID-19 pandemic record for current hospitalizations in a report released Tuesday morning, it did so by blasting by 14,000 all the way past 15,000, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
HHS reported 15,169 inpatient beds in use for COVID-19, an increase of 1,192 from Monday’s report. And that statistical leap came from 231 hospitals, 20 fewer than were reporting to HHS the previous day. So the average number of COVID-19 patients per hospital shot from 55.7 to 65.7.
That represents 27.6% of the hospital patients in those 231 hospitals. Nationally, 10.1% of patients are hospitalized for COVID.
Intensive care units reported a congruent increase, of 225 patients to 3,060. That’s 47.2% of those hospitals’ ICU beds, compared to 21.3% across the United States.
Also, there are 73,300 beds in use for COVID-19 in the U.S., meaning Florida accounts for 20.7% of the nation’s COVID hospital patients. The state has 17.9% of the country’s 17,140 COVID patients in ICU beds.
