Merged Covid Megathread

[ArgentCy]

Part of this is good news and part of this is disappointing. The good news is that mask mandates helped reduce surges of infections. The bad news is that even with mask mandates , there are still increases in infection rates. I think it goes to show that we can not mask our way out of this. It needs to be a comprehensive approach (mask, social distancing, hand washing, isolating if symptomatic) to reducing spread.

It's almost like the flu which has been around forever and we deal with it. Although the flu is down this year and they can't figure that out either.

Perhaps mask use also helps the flu.

There is a lag, so it will end up higher, but just pointing out that, in the grand scheme, the rhetoric is more shrill than the facts (overall).

Wife’s school just had their first mess. Whole class quarantined. Oldest teacher in the school got it and spread it.

WI reporting 5,200 cases and 64 deaths today. That is NOT a lag.

Gonna crack the Top Ten for cases here pretty quick. Just gotta believe.

I was told they don’t have reliable info in other threads.

What? If you want to toss around commentary like "the rhetoric is more shrill than the facts" sack up and discuss it in the threads where those discussions are happening. Again, stop trying to drag this thread into the cave.

Not yet. My senior daughter did because of a goofy situation.

Is it just bad news that is apolitical?

I was responding to a comment on my earlier post. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings with it.

This thread has valuable information in it that has been good for a broader audience to parse. Your repeated attempts to get it caved are hilarious and sad

Not trying to get it into the Cave at all. If I wanted to, I'd just put it there. Sorry you took offense.

Good new and bad news. The good.........hand washing and isolating(stay at home when sick) are tried and true. The bad news, masks don't help much...as you stated...and distancing is well, just another guess.

Perhaps mask use also helps the flu.

I think those who went through the 1918 spanish version would like to have a little chat with you.
