Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

We appear to be on pace for a new record today. Texas numbers aren't even in yet. Could crack 150,000.

 

Experts dismiss survey claiming no extra risk of virus through sports — The Aspen Institute Project Play

 

We know that a number of UF players played the A&M game infected. But, we didn't see a spread on the A&M team. Interesting.

 

well we know the defensive players never came close enough to the A&M players for contact spreading....

 

Yeah, it freaking sucks. For the first time in my life I'm not going to spend Thanksgiving with my parents since the whole extended family thinks it's a great idea to all gather inside and share dishes. I'm pretty bummed out.

 

damn you

 

what, beat you to it?

 

Each governor has more power to lock their states, local authorities even more.

Anyone waiting on the feds is a fool and buck passer.

 

Early stages shed less viral load

 

Isn't your grandmother recently infected? She doing okay?

 

Check that. Blew right past 150,000 and still counting.

 

What we thought was potentially COVID ended up being multiple pulmonary embolisms. Luckily they were caught in time and she's at home doing well. Thanks for asking!

 

Tested negative?

 

Heck I'm not sure if they ever tested her. I'll have to ask her. We were so freaked out by the PEs that we forgot all about COVID concerns.

 

Glad she is ok

 

Me too. She's one tough lady (all 4' 10" of her).

 

161k new cases today per Worldometer. 200k per day can't be far off now.

 

They tested her. My mom did a recent ICU stint. We were the same way - other things to worry about. We later learned she was negative and of course no one gets admitted w/o a test.

Also doing tday without extended fam. Different but we're kinda looking forward to it. The other option sucks, so...

 

Good Lord.

 

Holy smokes.

And we have an admin that has completely abandoned doing anything since the chief weakling is crying somewhere in a WH bunker.
