Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Yeah, I think that is where the good school system will help.
I also think it is much easier for older kids, but that is just a guess.

 

My oldest son is super smart and always has been, he would be fine, in any grade. My other two are different kind of learners, virtual wouldn't have worked with them.

 

Bingo. I have an absolute hatred for these people. The doctor that overprescribed opiods to my Dad is in jail. I hope terrible things happen to him in there. I want him to feel the pain that my family felt every day before my Dad's death and every day after.

 

you're better than that. different kids react different ways regardless of their intelligence and school system ability

 

fyi, Collier County now paying $48k for starting teachers and more for experienced ones.

 

I understand some kids learn differently, but I think the school system has a great impact on success of virtual learning. Some systems seemed to half ass the prep or never fully embraced the fact that this may be a real thing or half committed to it thinking it was a short term thing.

 

The gullibility. The administration will be gone in late January. The gullible are enduring.

 

No. 9 Badgers' game at Nebraska canceled; 12 members of program, including Paul Chryst, tested positive in past 5 days

 

Did they add more teachers to lessen the number of kids in a classroom?

 

The hidden Covid-19 health crisis: Elderly people are dying from isolation

I wish there was some magical solution for the elderly. My mom hasn't been out of her nursing home since March 1st. We Facetime her and I've been able to visit her in her room but my kids can't see her(nursing home policy). But they just started up dinners in the dining hall(staggered so no more than 30% occupancy). I'm happy she's safe but she doesn't want to keep going on like this. Tough choices for some.

 

I am thinking you should rewrite this post. It sounds bad when responding directly to someone else.

 

This was probably answered, but here is one report: https://covidtracking.com/data/charts/us-currently-hospitalized

The chart shows 45k currently hospitalized. The highest numbers in April and July approached 60k. So it's good that we are currently down from those previous highs, but the immediate trend is not so good. It's increased from around 30k one month ago and is obviously going up.

 

He is who he is. It’s ok.
My oldest will graduate with honors from UF next fall and enter grad school. my youngest, who he slighted, still thinks online learning sucks but still pulls down a 3.9 while playing 4 sports. Thats intelligent by any measure, even in the rarefied air that poster breathes.

 

I didn't take that as a diss against your kids. Navy doesn't seem to be like that.

 

Still ramping up.

 

Sewage testing says it is about to get much worse

Sewage testing shows country is flush with Covid-19 cases

The results are clear on the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority website, which displays Biobot's analysis of data covering 2 million MWRA customers in the Boston area. It shows a spike in viral samples in April and May, falling back through the summer. Now the virus is showing up again, with samples at levels close to what was seen at the height on the pandemic in the spring.



Testing the sewage for evidence of Covid-19 is like preparing a weather forecast, said Krishna Pagilla, chair of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno and director of the Nevada Water Innovation Institute.

"This is something that we should have concentrated on from the beginning in every community," Reno's Pagilla told CNN.

 

i think worldometer finally fried itself, it went from 135,429,000 total cases yesterday to 140,200,000 today, florida went from 6,020,000 to 9,774,000 total tests, how in the hell?

 

Numbers

 

sorry little, that was definitely not an intentional slight against your kids, it was just a hastily and poorly written post, sorry about that.

 

Coronavirus US: More than 40 states are reporting an increase in Covid-19 cases and many in the Midwest are seeing record hospitalizations - CNN

Mask mandates lower hospitalizations, study says
Mask mandates may be a key strategy to lowering rates of hospitalization, according to the findings of a study from Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

In hospitals where more than 75% of the patients came from counties that required masks, rates of hospitalizations did not rise between July and October, while hospitals with fewer than 25% of patients from those counties saw an increase over 200%.
