Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

Non politically, the hospitals in our health system have had the highest number of COVID positive patients admitted this week. Expect that’ll continue to slowly rise as NC opens up.

Same. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. We have 8 times the number of COVID admissions compared to 1 month ago.
 
If they are only operating at 25-50% capacity, then the crowds should be manageable and the lines short. How many masks will get blown off riding a roller coaster? Then what?

Not quite. They're exercising social distancing on the rides and sanitizing them regularly maybe even between rides. So a ride that usually sits 4 people per 4 rows could sit as few as one each in the front and back row.

They may have to regulate what masks people wear on coasters, so they don't come off. Social distancing won't mean much if I face will hit your mouth particles a split second later anyway.
 
no screaming allowed. So basically no kids allowed and none of the good rides.

You may very well be right, but the people being admitted to the hospital right now were likely exposed to the disease more than two weeks ago, right? With the delay from exposure to onset of symptoms plus the delay for the progression of symptoms to the point where hospitalization is required. That means the people being hospitalized right now were exposed before things were significantly opened up...
 
scooter, are you saying that if people being hospitalized now were exposed before things opened up that there will be fewer people going forward?

Can you explain why?

If someone was admitted to the hospital today, they were probably exposed between 5-12 days ago. Symptoms CAN show up in the first 14 days, but generally they show up in the first 3-5 after exposure. For some people the symptoms stay mild, and for some people they progress quickly.
 
COVID-19 gonna take down the House of Mouse.

Not interested in going while wearing a hot mask in FL. :dumb:
 
In news that surprises noone,a partygoer at Lake of the Ozarks last week tested positive for Covid
 
Good science isn’t usually rushed. Or the result of a single experiment or study.


More important to this particular concern, there was never anything close to adequate evidence that should have led to widespread use of or recommendations to use these drugs to treat Covid-19.
 
180 scientists around the world isn’t a huge number. The concerns seem valid though.
 
The first doc seems pretty political. What does it mean that the virus is less strong? Less contagious? Less deadly? Less impact on health?
 
It means the media now has something else to focus on so no longer need to milkwich it as they had been previously.

105K dead is a "milkwich", got it.

We are also basically just reopening the country again when nothing has changed. The virus doesn't give a damn about whether or not we think it is still as dangerous.

There's more testing, which is nice, but does anybody feel safe enough to go eat in a restaurant, go to a bar, or spend all day in cubicles with 75 other people?

South Carolina looks like it's very much headed in the wrong direction, which isn't surprising given what I saw last week in Charleston and Myrtle.
