Interesting data emerging from colleges returning. When Notre Dame kids showed up, they tested every single kid. Over 11k tests. They had a 99.7% negative rate and quarantined the sick. After one week starting with no known cases, they have 44 cases in a little over 400 tests of suspected cases and a 10% positive rate.
Oklahoma football players had zero new cases for last three weeks. Kids came back, now they have 9 new cases in a week.
Ohio State plans on testing every kid in every dorm weekly, at a cost of around $5-7 million weekly. That said, that’s only 15k of over 40k kids from what I understand as far as living on and off campus.
IU plans to do the same at a cost of $1-5$ million.
Obviously these college kids aren’t at much risk at all. Logic dictates once your kid goes to school, it’s safest for them to visit infrequently with anyone at risk.
My question is what are high schools going to do? A 16 year old is going to catch and spread it the same as a college kid, and I don’t think high schools have a spare million sitting around. Plus they’re going to head home to mom and dad every night unlike the college kid.
Elementary age kids may not catch and spread this to the degree older kids and adults do, but many teenagers are going to be bringing this home at some point. The trend towards having kids later is working against the average family. Most people my age have a kid in high school, or a kid in college and one in high school. Going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
i've said it before but I was once a teenage boy and teenage boys are fair game
not sure exactly what point that vid is supposed to be making but things are getting back to normal here in europe too, pubs and restaurants open almost same as before.
people still wearing masks in shops and on buses / trains, no large festivals like that yet and sports still behind closed doors but eventually this will all end too.
china peaked before europe did and the usa was later than we were but you will catch up eventually no doubt lol
Things are not getting back to normal in large swaths of the US, particularly in Blue states. There are “scientists” and others here pushing for a second National draconian shutdown for an indefinite period of time and are preparing to push hysteria of “the second wave”.
People here are freaking out about people not wearing masks outside. Just infections in the US are being reported widescale as if there is another crisis looming.
Why isn’t Wuhan scared of the “second wave”?
really tho looking at the data you guys arent properly over the first wave yet, i posted this link a while ago if you havent seen it and are interested
ourworldindata.org/coronavirus
but like i said you are still a month or so behind us in europe, reckon it peaks in usa around 200k deaths and by then you should see average daily deaths drop down to low hundreds / double digits
honestly fuck knows whats going on in china cos they stopped putting any numbers out months ago and just pretended everything suddenly disappeared overnight
i never mentioned a second wave but its obv something that could happen, no evidence of any second waves anywhere that i have seen but feel free to do your own research
anyway i wouldnt pay too much attention to chinese propaganda tho which is obv what that video is
