We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Though we seem to go up and down every couple weeks. I'm just afraid eventually one of these upticks is going to keep going up.

Yep a 2nd grader. With how I can basically work whenever I want I am considering home schooling, but my fiance is totally against it.

If they have only been going 1 week then how is this an outbreak at UNC? This spread didn't happen and they get these tests and results in 7 days.

These kind of post might interfere with the natural selection process, you are messing around with Mother Nature .

What you are saying isn't what he said. They have 130 kids that have test positive, so more than likely they've been spreading it which leads to a larger outbreak. Try using a little bit of critical thinking and common sense. 130 kids had a highly contagious virus. With what we know it seems reasonable to think upwards of 1000 students have it and have been potentially spreading it.

I have an 8 th grader which is part of the elementary school here , right now I plan on sending both him and my 10th grader to full time school if our cases stay the same no new cases sin over a month.

USD 383 is doing hybrid learning, masks required or online schooling. The hybrid version they will go to school for a full school day on either Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday with the schools being deep cleaned on Wednesday and weekends. The days they aren't physically in school they will be learning online.

The top infectious disease doctor in the US, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said Monday, “We’d better be careful when we say ‘Young people who don’t wind up in the hospital are fine, let them get infected, it’s OK.’ No, it’s not OK."

“In individuals who are young and otherwise healthy, who don't require hospitalization but do get sick and symptomatic enough to be in bed for a week or two or three and then get better, they clear the virus – they have residual symptoms for weeks and sometimes months,” he said during a American Society for Microbiology briefing.

Fauci said subsequent check-ups show that many “have a substantially high proportion of cardiovascular abnormalities, evidence of myocarditis by MRI and PET scans, evidence of emerging cardiomyopathies.”

He said this is “really troublesome” because it is evolving on a day by day basis.

“These are people that supposedly recovered from Covid-19,” Fauci said.

“I'll guarantee you if we have this conversation again, six months to a year from now, we’ll be reviewing the literature about talking about the long-term deleterious effects of non-hospitalized patients,” Fauci said.

That doesn't sound good at all.

Mental Health, Substance Use, and Suicidal Ideation During the COVID-19
Pandemic — United States, June 24–30, 2020

Summary

What is already known about this topic?

Communities have faced mental health challenges related to
COVID-19–associated morbidity, mortality, and mitigation activities.

What is added by this report?

During June 24–30, 2020, U.S. adults reported considerably
elevated adverse mental health conditions associated with
COVID-19. Younger adults, racial/ethnic minorities, essential
workers, and unpaid adult caregivers reported having experienced disproportionately worse mental health outcomes,
increased substance use, and elevated suicidal ideation.

What are the implications for public health practice?

The public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic should
increase intervention and prevention efforts to address
associated mental health conditions. Community-level efforts,
including health communication strategies, should prioritize
young adults, racial/ethnic minorities, essential workers, and
unpaid adult caregivers.
People need to stop being selfish.

So he's saying that people that get hit hard by the virus but don't end up needing hospital care sometimes have lingering effects?

What about the ones who only get a mild infection?

This virus is approaching, if not already, the most studied virus in human history. I wonder how much of this stuff we'd find if we studied other viruses this much?

Comparing locking down the entire US to Italy is fucking stupid. You’re talking about 328 million people versus 60.
