Schools around here have been closed all school year. They were thinking about reopening around mid October but walked back on that pretty quick. I'm just curious if any state had the first quarter closed then opened the second.

Some districts in johnson county KS did this, like Olathe and maybe some of the OP ones, I believe. Others around KC started up first quarter. Most of the rest of the state has been in person since first quarter.

He’s probably not going to stop holding rallies for the foreseeable future either, especially if he plans to run again in 2024, so that’s awesome.

There's like 50k chuds in DC in close proximity to one another and of course aren't wearing masks.

The downside is its not his rally. His idiots are doing this on their own.

Judging by the vids of the 'convoys' and people at airports hopefully most aren't from around here and gently caress off quickly.

I was under direct orders not to die
🐵❌💀

My friend got 2 memo within 2 weeks at work saying someone covid positive was inside their mall wandering around. He works at a cell phone kiosk and was there both known dates so he's not having a great time.

That mall is a 5 minute drive from my house and we get our curbside pickup from the Walmart it's attached to. Woot. I won't be setting foot inside there for a while.

Here's the real fun part: Somewhere between 60-70% of cases here are from unknown origins and can't be traced back to where they were exposed :toot: even though I still see people arguing that asymptomatic spread is a conspiracy and a myth lolol

That would be way high even if 100% of your people got infected - that would be a case fatality rate of 3.28% compared to the ~2% we're seeing (with the real rate being much lower because we're still definitely not detecting anything close to 100% of cases).

Mind you if you factor in other deaths caused by health system overload then it wouldn't be surprising to see it going past the 1.5-2 million deaths you get if you scale up the 1918 flu pandemic to the modern US population.

You can get reinfected after 3 months, so in a year you could do 400%

Maybe it'll just setting in to a stable 20% positivity yielding ~5k dead a day, forever!

Also, first 100k day in the US was Oct 31 - sometime next week we'll start to see the 21 day average mortality start to show up in the daily death counts. Crazy that todays 184K new cases could make for a 5k death day by the end of the first week of December..

Have there been many reports of this? I saw a speculative article ages ago by some Chinese guy who pointed out that ACE2 receptors were stored in the balls and this could potentially lead to the balls getting hosed up by covid, but I haven't seen anything since.

My sister is a nurse in MN and her ward was never meant for COVID, but there are no more ICUs so they have a section now for the COVID patients who are dying because they can’t get intubated. I’m just sitting around in Nebraska waiting for poo poo to explode because our governor is pro-doorknob licking.
