Germany and France are locking down again at least partially.
Frankly, even if we see a different administration, I can't see us locking down again, but we're well on our way to at least some of this country causing a Sweden part 2 imho. No lockdown, but enough of the US gets scared about acting normally that they willingly keep themselves away from normal activities and it causes economic activity to slow down to a drag.

I figure they talked him into doing it with the euphoria clouding judgement.
If you look at Georgia's numbers they are definitely trending up but not in a spike so this is different than the previous two jumps. It seems that it started after fall breaks for school.
A teacher colleague that I usually work with closely has a family member with it now who they live with. The teacher has tested negative and the only good thing is that I haven't been able to work with this person since early last week. Normally we plan side by side with masks on (mandated by our county) but due to scheduling issues we didn't. I just really want to go back to normal, as a teacher, this is straining us terribly when we have to be out for quarantine for two weeks when we teach face to face. I DREAD it if I have to ever go out!

Already exposed anyway?
Using this logic gets you in trouble. It’s all about frequency and length of exposure. For instance, say someone goes to work and works a few hours but finds out they have covid. Should they work the rest of the day, an extra 6 hours around their coworkers, and take off their mask? Or should they go home? Exactly. Can’t believe this is a discussion but I am amazed daily....

Somebody else tested positive in that Justin Turner situation, I think this one is legit and not a false one like Saban was.
Just 1 other person as of now though. They tested again today and everyone that passes will be cleared to fly home even if they shouldn't be.

You spend your entire life training and working your *** off to make the World Series. It not guaranteed and only a tiny fraction make it to that point. I wouldn't have cared as long as everyone self quarantined after the fact.

False positives aren’t “real more often than not”....using another example of a false positive in sports doesn’t support that. There has been plenty of athletes out on the covid-19 list in the NFL who were true positives. That’s a ridiculous argument.
Justin Turner tested inconclusive on Monday and positive on Tuesday. A false positive doesn’t look likely to me.
You can’t assume it’s a false positive. Treat it as a true positive until confirmatory PCR testing is done, assuming it’s an antigen or rapid test he took in the first place. It may have been confirmatory Tuesday.
And your first point— in a world that actually followed protocols, they’d do contact tracing and everyone he came into contact would quarantine. But this is sports in the USA and that doesn’t happen. Still, what he did was reckless.

Despite the lockdowns and catastrophic harm its caused several business's/ life long investments. Major Recovery is well underway. Lets keep it up.
"On Thursday morning, the Commerce Department announced that the gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the U.S. economy, surged by 33.1% on an annualized basis in the three-month period from July through September. The previous post-World War II record was a 16.7% increase in 1950."

I’m sorry! Supplement with vitamin D if you can, 2000iu daily. Plenty of C as well. Good luck to you, it’s so different person to person but I hope you have mild cases. Mild is still pretty rough for most.

Best wishes to you guys.
somehow me and my son are negative. I’m going to guess that won’t last long. Probably have a long road ahead and don’t have enough of the virus in my system yet to test positive.
Two week quarantine here we come lol.
Hopefully the antibodies that you have from the first time you had it will help
we haven’t ever been confirmed to have had COVID in the past. It was suspected but never confirmed like this time with my wife.

The rest of the nation needs to follow the Disney protocols on covid. These people have everything down to a science. From the floor markers for social distancing, hand sanitizers every, to the rooms having plastic covering everything like TV remotes.......its a well oiled machine.

Same thing happened to me. I was under the impression it was only K-1st graders for now and a decision on the rest will be made later this month. But the busses I saw were coming out of the middle school. ?

I saw k-3 and 6 grade, but that was as of Oct 1, so not sure if it changed since then, but yea I saw them coming out of the middle school, and coming down Mountain st from the elementary school up that way.
It's early in the morning for it I guess but around here busses have been rolling mid-day delivering meals to students. Actually a side note, I've gotten used to not getting behind busses when heading to work LolSame thing happened to me.
