Last Tues I went home from work with sore throat, headache, sinus congestion and tightness in my chest with some dry coughing.....Wed I knew I was sick but I didnt feel like it was much more than a cold, that night though I ran some low fevers in the 100 degree range so I went to the doctor Thur morning and they were like with those symptoms we are testing you go home and dont go anywhere till we get your results.....well they came back yesterday and I was negative and I have not had any real issues since last Saturday ( no fever at least ) I still have some sinus issues and off and on spells of coughing/tightness in chest but nothing consistent....it feels like a cold that was teetering on the edge of being more...then it wasnt.

South Korean epidemiologists have found that people were more likely to contract the new coronavirus from members of their own households than from contacts outside the home. A study published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on July 16 looked in detail at 5,706...

Do you wear a mask at home?

No. The gf works at a hospital, she has a routine when she gets home to reduce risk of bringing the virus into the house, she is also is required to wear a mask at work from the time she gets in the parking lot until she leaves the parking lot. We have already discussed and have an isolation plan if one of us were to feel sick.

That being said I still don't quite get the point?

To me that study means do what you need to do in public to protect yourself so you don't take out your entire family

Well known. But it’s because they’re bringing it home to family members. So what’s the dynamite about?

This didn’t need a study and demographics of people going to test found this out easily. You’re more intimately close to family members you live with and sometimes sleep with.

Again, why is there a boom?

Well my school district hasn't a clue. 3 of our 4 schools aren't doing in person schedule pickup then the other one just announced in person pickup. So it's not safe for 3 of the schools but is for the other one. SMDH

The virus has to get in the house somehow.

Hahaha that's the gotcha argument? Stick to wallstreet
 
Mom is worrying me a little bit right now, she's had digestive issues for a little while and this evening was suddenly having some coughing fits that she only has when she is dealing with respiratory or sinus problems. Sometimes they're sinus issues (her mom is awful in that department and she can be too), but sometimes they're not.

Her oxygen recently was fine and she has still passed her last temperature check, but given that a facility that we've been going to lately was suddenly "closed until further notice" today, and I only have one reason as to why it'd be in this age (Augusta has a mask mandate but they have most definitely NOT tried to go back to phase one yet like Atlanta tried, I double checked the website and haven't seen anything, haven't heard anything either), it makes you wonder.

Now, for the crazy part, unless she gets really ill, we're really not going to know unless I were to try to confirm my suspicions with this recreation center and then get tested myself if I'm correct on my suspicions. Because she's not going to get one herself unless she's actually really ill due to how stubborn my dad is. They will not be staying in either (my dad did cave to the idea of wear a mask to avoid more shutdowns though), although if she's still not feeling good next week, it could end any chance that they go to the Y early next week.

Maybe I just have a tin foil hat on though, because we really didn't have much contact with anyone at this facility. Just came in to swim. Dad hasn't said anything (he tries to play tough guy though) and if it's not sympathy pains I might be having some minor digestive problems, but other than that, nothing.

Hospitalizations going up across the CSRA, many beds still available

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Health experts report an increase in hospitalizations across the country. Here in the CSRA, Georgia’s Department of Public Health shows more than 15,000 in a medic…

Would not be surprised if you see Augusta hospitals cancel electives fairly soon, but from my knowledge it's still at a point for them where it's "busy, but very doable, and not busy and chaotic".
 
Looking at the graph for Georgia it appears to have peaked finally. Hopefully it's not just a blip but the 14 day average at least leveled off. I see a lot more masks and with school starting everyone isn't crawling all over the place any more. We live just down the street from Red Top Mountain State Park and it has been BS crazy there all spring and summer. I pity those rangers having to deal with everyone.
