This is nice but the important thing to look for is how the numbers act after school starts for a few weeks

Hoax

Ain’t nothing but the flu

Y’all need to get to choir rtfn

It is what it is.

Awful quiet here tonight. Did everyone on Team Apocalypse catch it?

Could've been here sooner: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1320428/Coronavirus-news-lockdown-mistake-second-wave-Boris-Johnson?fbclid=IwAR2UBN_NNLiaIrT5OWpZY6_Ka2gp9ThoOzv1WGe2AMa_u7_hvoq_ZCdA72M
Lockdown will come to be seen as a "monumental mistake on a global scale" and must never happen again, a scientist who advises the Government on infectious diseases says.
But it is a crude measure that takes no accounts of the risk levels to different individuals, the University of Edinburgh professor said, meaning that back in March the nation was “concentrating on schools when we should have been concentrating on care homes”.

@4:23
The private schools have been back for over 2 weeks now

Awesome. Anyone for Flag Island this weekend?

If you're headed up to Flag Island, it ain't the virus you need to be worried about.

Remember what Joe Biden's number one advice guy said about the Wuhan back in February! No big deal - won't rise to the level of epidemic.

It is not time to par-tay. That's what got us into this mess in the first place. Memorial Day, July 4th, weddings, family gatherings, etc. are some of the main causes of the virus spread. Anywhere people are in close contact for a decent length of time needs to be avoided.

Don't let this bit of good news allow us to become any more complacent. Listen to your glorious leader; a safe & effective vaccine will be here by the end of the year. Can't we try to keep the disease controlled until then?

I understand the RT factor in the sense that if it is 1.00, a person with Covid will pass it on to one other person. Similarly, if it is .90, a person with Covid (on average)will pass it on to only .90 persons.
But, what I don't understand is how often one person will pass it on.
Does it mean a day, a week, in total, what? Anyone can help me with this?

10:59: To answer your question, an infected person will pass on the virus to one more person at an Rt rate of 1.00 if that person is not wearing a mask, and if the other person is not wearing a mask. What is most important is that the infected person who may not realize they are infected be wearing a mask. That can really cut down on transmission. Dr Chin-Hong, a San Francisco epidemiologist, has stated: “We can’t tell who’s infected. You can’t look in a crowd and say, oh, that person should wear a mask. There is a lot of asymptomatic infection, so everybody has to wear a mask.” From the perspective of the virus, the virus only has one goal: one human host in available (unmasked) proximity to another host. That's it. That's why any crowds put together for any reason without masks is asking for a visit from Mr. Virus.

10:59 Most people can spread the virus starting 3-5 days after infection. About half show symptoms in 5-10 days while others are asymptomatic. Given the fairly wide rage of infectiousness of anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, I generally assume the average time a person passes it on to someone else is one week from their initial exposure.

That also makes Rt estimates pretty easy. An Rt of 1.1 would see case counts increasing 10% every week while an Rt of 0.9 would see them decreasing 10% every week.

My numbers are just estimates. They may be off some. But the number of days to use has to be somewhere between 3 and 14.

Ain't that the truth !
