That's what I thought NY State implemented pretty soon after the first big wave, but I'm not sure how widespread the policy nationally. Logistically speaking, it does seem extremely difficult to keep the disease out of nursing homes. The same thing is happening in Europe now, too. Community Spread == Nursing home spread
-
No. I don't believe that's happening anymore and hasn't happened for some time. I know folks want to blame the big state governors for a lot of the early nursing home deaths, but what's the excuse now? Unknowing and asymptomatic staff bringing it into facilities has always been the major driver imo.
-
Yes it sucks. It really does imo drive the point home than we are all interconnected and it is extremely difficult to shield/protect the vulnerable inside and outside nursing homes when there is large amounts of community spread.
-
We're still doing a piss-poor job of protecting these places.
-
The vulnerable are trying to quarantine as much as they can, but time and time again we see that large amounts of community spread "drips" down to the vulnerable folks. Nursing home covid deaths are still very high, even now, after all we know. And people in nursing homes represent a small fraction of the vulnerable people in the United States.
-
That was Dr. Michael Osterholm's suggestion btw. He's one of the folks on Biden's Covid Team. He works at CIDRAP in Minnesota. He's got a weekly podcast, very smart man. Also, really apolitical, too.
-
Come on man? I hope you switched up your percentage sign there.
-
There's no "spiking" it's just consistent exponential growth. Like, you can't see individual events or holidays leading to these great surges, at least right now.
-
I made a math error. Its 21% from this data here. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm
-
35% of the deaths are those under 65 in the US. Fairly small risk individually but a large societal effect in the aggregate.
-
Tell her you have each other and thats enough. Lol.
-
The question would be is if they delayed the press release for a day or whatever so that he could make the money on the trade.
-
Of course...but I was just making a general comment. Schools should be the last thing to close.
-
Close the bars open the schools. Think about our values as a society...
-
No. Masks aren't the only thing that matters...
-
The opportunity cost for delaying infections as gone way up based on the last vaccine candidate news. There is less indefinence than there was previously.
-
Do you think I'm on the street shaming people for not wearing masks? Why is pointing out a questionable source and showing scientific sources about mask use a problem for you?
-
Its tough to have a real conversation with you about this when you say exaggerated and say shit like this. There are definitely plenty of people that don't wear masks because they don't want to or don't believe in it.
-
Mask compliance is 70 percent per imhe but im not sure what that means. Like if you always wear them at the grocery store but then take them off while you're drinking at the bar or when you have guests at your home then what is that doing for you?
-
The country is so ****ed. Conspiracy on social media is rampant.
-
I think he's warm this year isn't he lol?
-
I dont know. They might have been. Its a pandemic man, scientific sources should be preferred. Even if they are correct, those charts don't tell you if the mandate is being enforced, how many people are actually wearing masks and wearing them properly, and nothing of the various other factors that are influencing spread at any given time.
-
Lol. Alright. Maybe you should check out some reputable sources. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02801-8 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/masking-science-sars-cov2.html

What is rational ground? It sounds like a conspiracy site. Why is that people don't understand that there are tons of conflating factors in the epidemiology?
-
Flu is down because of covid restrictions and is a less communicable disease so its numbers are much smaller. Still there is some flu around. Masks are effective but aren't a magic pill they are part of a multi-pronged approach at slowing down the disease spread. The last part is just crap.
