I said it in the article, but I truly feel all the optimism goes out the window as soon as the student body gets back on these college campuses.I see fall sports as highly unlikely. The virus is only going to get worse. This fall and winter will be a dark time for this country. Covid will be raging and we will be dealing with yearly influenza cases as well. It's going to be a nightmare. As someone who worked in an ICU for 4 years, the fall and winter months were by far our most busy and almost always full. Spring and summer were always easy peasy, with the unit never being full. We are lucky covid started hitting hard when it did. If it continues to worsen and fall/winter sets in...it's going to get ugly.
Hopefully we get a vaccine available to the masses shortly after the new year. This isn't going away until we do.
Cases are up. Deaths are down. No where near where they were in April.
I like the spirit of the article but I don't agree with your conclusions. At this point, I don't care. If industries want to self destruct, so be it.
What baffles me are all the weird symptoms and the many ways it affects different people. What makes someone have a light fever and loss of taste or smell, and someone else unable to breathe and skin lesions? I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but this shit seems like a synthetic bug created in a Chinese lab to identify and tactically infect.We do know how to treat and manage this disease much better now, especially in the hospital setting. As long as hospitals are not overwhelmed, we should continue to do well with the death rate. But there's so much more to this disease than simply looking at deaths.
my other school’s message board has a thread asking if you know someone personally that had it and what was the outcome. 37 posts at this time and I counted over 20+ deaths, 40+ asymptomatic cases and a wide range in between. Such an odd virus, so many don’t know they caught it and for others, the long-term recovery is going to be difficult.The other problem with it is not to talk about as much. It can scar your lungs and thicken your blood. This has means living with an oxygen machine and/or an increase in strokes and heart attacks.
We should see a decrease in influenza and the common cold if people are practicing what is being prescribed as preventative measures: social distancing, masks, thorough washing of hands and surfaces.
If that number is still the same this flu season then I don't know what number to believe.
If we don't play ball, things are going to shudder. People are going to be out of work and opportunity is going to halt and may never come back. What about the long game?
Fyi, even if it is not totally reliable, The American Red Cross is offering free antibody testing for donors. I haven't had a sense of smell for months so I am curious.
God, I hope not.That’s what’s happening in the Southern Hemisphere, but it won’t here because Americans are already over with it. Social distancing and mask wearing is too much inconvenience for Merica. Therefore we will get the full wrath of COVID in the fall/winter for the first time in addition to influenza.
