Most people go get tested when someone they’ve been around has shown symptoms or tested positive regardless of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only logical that the schools would have causes the explosion as it was the variable that was most dramatically changed. I know other states have opened up as well but they were more paced, it was a band-aid being ripped off here and we were one of the most protective for the longest time thus it didn't naturally spread as much as it would have in other states. Believe it or not... I buy this lol. Not necessarily from the kids maybe but just and general increase of activity resulting from kids being back in school.

Hoosier Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Have there been studies in the UK or elsewhere looking at the B.1.1.7 variant spread among kids? Since it seems to be more contagious in general, it would not be unreasonable to think that kids could spread that variant more efficiently than "original" covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I read is that both the UK and Brazilian variants have been spreading and impacting younger people more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better we can send them all to Florida and put them on giant carnival cruise ships. That way Gov DeSantis will be happy. What do you think?

StormfanaticInd Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 3 minutes ago, Chambana said: Truth hurts? Obviously that would not be ideal but we are going to have to accept the possibility that things may not get back to normal fully for a while to come. It's unfortunate but we have got to come to grips with this possibility. I still believe this summer will be much better overall but not fully normal. That won't happen until the world as a whole gets this under control and we are a long way away from that happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The vaccines are going to end this, and there will still be straw men being built saying things aren’t opened up.

madwx Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Hoosier said: I've been watching the numbers for the 60s and older group. I believe they are nearly 75% vaccinated. They have had access the longest and it would be good if the percentage in that group can ultimately exceed 80%. I wouldn't expect the percentages in the younger adult age groups to be on quite the same level as the older age groups, so perhaps it will ultimately settle out with something like 70% of adults vaccinated as polls have suggested. We can hope anyway. 90.5% of people 65+ in dane county have gotten at least one dose. Pretty amazing numbers ETA: 81.2% of the same age group in Dane County has completed their vaccine series 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outflow Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Got my j and j vaccine this morning. About a hr ago I started to feel the standard achey and fatigue that seems to be associated with it. The nurse who did mine said they have dozen of open spots for the next two days with little interest it would seem for more to get the shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
