Florida also fired the woman that ran their Covid dashboard for not publishing fake data. And until they know how widespread it is it may not move the needle much. "State officials acknowledged the problem on Tuesday, but did not provide specifics such as how many labs were reporting incomplete data. They said the problem was centered on small, private labs." So moral of story is that Florida sucks.

Most big offices have large conference rooms. Mine has an entire floor of nothing but conference rooms that seat anywhere from 40 - 300 people. Already has high speed internet. I don't think it works in a rural area but in most metro areas you have a downtown which is central and close to the city residents and you have office parks which are close to suburban families. I was thinking of this more for kids that don't have internet or their parents need to work but the school district won't allow in-person instruction. Obviously you'd have to figure out how to staff these little computer farms.

Isn't there a ton of empty office space right now? Wonder if they could use that as a place for kids to learn virtually and then get some social interaction as well?

Citing past struggles, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo won't complain about NBA's Orlando bubble conditions. "I'm happy that we're back playing basketball, something that I love doing, so there's nothing really to complain about," he said.

I'm worried about the kids that don't have much support at home or parents don't have the grandparents in another state they can send them to. Poor kids are going to get shafted if they can't go back to school. I'm not saying they should but if city schools don't open I have no idea what they're going to do to educate those kids.

Jordan Hicks, Cardinals closer, has opted out, citing a health condition. He has Type 1 diabetes.

I've now seen at least three academic articles that say children rarely transmit Covid both to each other or to adults. I understand that is just one piece of the puzzle and doesn't apply to college kids but should still be considered when discussing whether children should go back to school or not. (to consider: does a high school senior fall into the same category as a 1st grader in terms of virus spread) Here is one of the articles: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200710100934.htm

It was like four guys. If this turns you off my guess is you weren't all that interested in the first place. There were just as many guys saying they had it much worse growing up.
-
I wonder when we'll get to the point where we start to question the validity of these tests. I find it hard to believe someone who has no symptoms, tests positive and then negative, actually has Covid. No one disputes the fact that there are false-positive results from time to time. That's why you quarantine and re-test.

There's no way half of the students binge drink 4 or 5x a week.

re: schools Interesting article. Contains some stuff I hadn't thought of pertaining to opening schools. I was also not aware of the research that kids generally don't spread the virus. Would like to read more about that: https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/wellness-prevention/covid-19-curve-has-unflattened-fast-now-what?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=curve_unflattening&utm_content=healthblog It goes on to say that this doesn't apply to college-aged students. In fact, the author is very worried about breakouts in cities with college campuses.

Where are you getting your numbers? Just curious because I'm seeing Germany at 5 today and 10 yesterday.

Michael Kopech opts out.

I think UK (85, seems like an outlier - could have been back loading cases) was the only country in Europe with more than 20 deaths yesterday. Most of that continent is in the single digits now.

Forward Madison FC has new home field in Wauwatosa for 2020 season
homer replied to Jimbo's topic in Other Sports
True, but only allowed 25% at this time. Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. -

"At Hart Park, the Flamingos will have a capacity of 1,347" Interesting. I always thought it had bigger capacity than that. -
OK guys, let's get back on topic.

There are the kids, which are probably very low risk for any long term issues, and then there are the teachers, administrative and janitorial staff, etc. LIttle kids especially are walking disease distributors. I think a hybrid solution could probably work. Of course, that means you have a computer/internet at home and someone to be there with the kid.
-
The other thing to consider is that with increased testing people are getting diagnosed much earlier than they were in April when you pretty much had to be ready to be admitted to the hospital in order to get a test. So where the point of diagnosis to the point of fatality timeframe was very short back then it's gotten longer now...in theory anyway.
-
I think the next couple of weeks will be very telling as to whether or not this lower fatality rate is the real deal or not. It's been roughly three weeks since the big case spikes started in the Southern part of the country.

Gary Larson created a bunch of new Far Side cartoons: https://www.thefarside.com/ There's only like four of them. So don't get too excited.
-
The % positive cases that ends in hospitalizations over time would be a great stat to see. It's obvious the overall fatality rate is going down (even excluding NY/NJ) most likely due to the lowered age of the infected and a majority of the rest of society probably being very cautious. I realize death is a lagging indicator but I'm hopeful it doesn't spike too much even in the areas where we are seeing a big jump in cases. I'm very confident it won't get up to NY/NJ levels.
-
I was just looking at Wisconsin's numbers. Ah, gotcha.
-
Are you using nationwide data for decreased hospitalizations? I would like to find data that excludes NY and NJ as they seem to be big outliers.

Brewers sign 1B/OF Logan Morrison
homer replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Crazy that they keep that a secret. I would love to watch those guys play on a high school field.
