Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

My kids' school district becoming a hot spot. Mass quarantines on Friday at high school with another one at the middle school today. One teacher actually said we are having an outbreak. 13 kids either sick or in quarantine in my son's PE class out of 25-30 boys. How he is not one of them I do not know. They play basketball in groups of 6 and 3 were out today. According to our reopening plan we are supposed to be at least hybrid since our county is red but I guess we are rolling the dice for now. Neighboring schools are going virtual it seems every day because of outbreaks

It's November. Cases will continue to rise throughout the northern mid-latitude countries and states as cold, dry air filters in from N and NW. New York metro has kept it at bay during the month, but they will soon realize an uptick in the city as conditions start "beginning to feel a lot like Christmas everywhere you go." The history of seasonal pandemics like the flu continue to be the best guide on where and when infection rates will continue to rise.
 
My husband and oldest son just got positive Covid test results. :-( Me and my other 4 sons have been varying degrees of sick this past week, too, so I’m sure we all have it. Me and my sons have weathered it fairly well, but my husband has been quite sick - thankfully I think he’s on the mend now, he’s on day 8 of symptoms. Interestingly enough, none of us have had fevers - my husband is the only one with a severe cough, the rest of us mostly are just super fatigued with headaches. I’m dizzy tonight, but that’s my only truly concerning symptom so far. We have been SO careful this whole time, too. My husband took one of my sons to a neighbor’s house last Friday in preparation for our son making some money doing some puppy sitting. They were there for *maybe* 15 minutes, outside half that time. I *almost* told them to wear their masks, but thought, nah, it’s just down the street for a few minutes, I’m being way too cautious. Apparently not, this thing must be *super* contagious! Be careful and vigilant, everyone. We are doing ok, but it’s been no fun, for sure!

Glad to hear they are getting better. Our fevers were minimal at most. I mostly was fatigued and had a multiple day headache that ibuprofen wouldn’t touch so it sounds familiar. My wife had more symptoms and both kids had severe pink eye.

I read that Trump may fire him, but he wants to wait til after the election because Fauci is more popular than him and he was worried that firing him would hurt his election chances.

Trump possibly firing Fauci because he did a poor job per Trump. Does this bother anyone other than me?
 
I have no confidence in Fauci. Lost me several months back. Has zero to do with me being Trump suporter /polotics.

On another note: local Mall in Winston Salem just filed for bankruptcy along with several others. K@W filled for bankruptcy.


Also how Ironic is this. Be interesting to see if this theory bares out tonight. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Sad about Haynes. Last mall I still went to.
 
I tested negative for IgG antibodies through LabCorp. Some of you may remember I had symptomatic Covid (along with loss of taste and smell) and was tested positive on April 11th.

My personal experience just reaffirms, for me, the reports about waning antibodies in Covid-19 patients after 4 months. Mine were undetectable and below any helpful threshold...and I believe this result, as the blood draw antibody test from LabCorp has 100% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity.

This makes a vaccine all that more important and the herd immunity argument BS. I was actually hopping for my IgG’s to be positive but now, like many who haven’t gotten it, I’m back to square one. I’ve never let my guard down thinking I had immunity and will continue not to do so.

I hope this sheds light on the importance of masks. It spreads so easily indoors without one. Also if you’re not socially distanced outdoors it can spread as well. There’s direct evidence of that. People let their guard down and regret it later, but that’s human nature. It’s difficult because you want their childhood to be normal, but you’re making a choice.

I hope your family recovers and can teach others to be careful! Saw a lot of families without masks on Halloween, I’m sure thanksgiving will be our next super outbreak...one of the largely celebrated holidays where we’re in intimate settings indoors with not only close families but extended.

The scary thing is, in talking further with my husband and son, turns out they *did* wear masks when they went to see the puppy. The neighbor (who did not yet know she was getting sick) did not, but it was her house so that is totally understandable. My husband and son took their masks off for an extremely brief minute or two - just two minutes, no more! - when the puppy freaked out and they thought he needed to see their faces. It was literally that quick, this thing is just SO contagious. Though maybe in that kind of environment (home of a contagious person) the mask wouldn’t have stopped it anyway?

We have all been quite, quite sick, especially my husband, who almost ended up in the hospital. We are still in recovery mode, and it feels like we will be for another week or two. It’s been just awful!

Depressing news about your antibody test - was so hoping the positive out of all of this might be some sort of immunity. We’d always planned to keep doing what we are doing (masks and distancing, as carefully as we can - which wasn’t enough, sadly), but I was hoping maybe I could worry a bit less. :(

Just a terrible, terrible virus. Everyone take it seriously and stay safe!

We flew back from Disney yesterday and a lady had a screaming crying 18 month old that she allowed to roam free dragging a slobber covered pacifier around over everything. Never cleaned up behind the kid once. Being a parent seeing child that fussy made me think he wasnt feeling good.

Since we live in the same general area, B'ham metro, do you mind sharing the school system she is in?
 
My local school district went back to hybrid today for grades 7-12 after multiple positive tests. Currently around 13 positives with 150 plus in quarantine in those grades. 6th grade which is at the middle school too is still full schedule. My 6th grader has been emailing me this morning saying he's hearing of at least one more positive 6th grader today. Our town has been very lucky with low cases until the last 2 weeks. It seems our luck has run out

Any deaths or hospitalization for students in your area? As of last Friday ZERO students have died or been sent to the hospital in my area. Hopefully y’all are the same.
