In Terms of ICU Capacity, there are a lot of states who have seen "mild" cases turn into "Mild hospitalizations" and have started to see "mild" ICU cases this week.

We will start seeing that alarm bell go off soon

it will be hard to hide when TX (643 beds left/57 increase per day), NY (1,061 left/60 per day), and FL (1,165 left/64 per day) start sounding the alarm bells in a few dayd

I don’t think I ever hear anyone in real life talk about it at all. Even the biggest libs I know don’t. Those have to be the biggest target audience for it as well and no one cares.

There was literally no un-crumbed/sauced chicken available to purchase at my supermarket online when I made an order today. No whole chickens, no thighs, no breasts, legs, or wings. There was some chicken kievs and kebabs and that's it.

From r/nyc: I Am a New York City Public High School Student. The Situation is Beyond Control.
I think this does a really good job of illustrating how pointless and counterproductive it is to try not to shut stuff down in the face of a pandemic. Sure, the ideal would be that there would be no pandemic and kids would be in school learning with no interruptions, but given that there is a pandemic, that option simply isn't on the table in the first place, and acting like you can avoid any disruption by just choosing to ignore the pandemic is amazingly dumb.

Cobb schools discontinue contact tracing after state updates COVID guidelines
-
The district said they encourage families to make health decisions that are best for them and to not send students to school sick.

https://www.11alive.com/article/news/education/schools-eliminate-contact-tracing-covid-guidelines/85-f6fef3cc-efbe-4a57-a244-eddee40b0039

quote:

Cobb County Schools said contact tracing for COVID-19 will no longer be part of its pandemic health and safety protocols, according to the district. The move comes after Gov. Brian Kemp informed school leaders of updated guidelines.

quote:

Quarantine guidance for Cobb includes allowing students who are asymptomatic to be able to return to class immediately if their parents choose to let them do so. Students must wear a mask for seven days after exposure, according to the district. Students showing symptoms after being exposed will need to quarantine and follow the isolation guidelines.

Asymptomatic staff wearing a mask can immediately return to work if they are exposed to the virus.

quote:

Furthermore, the release adds that students who show COVID symptoms in school clinics may be asked to mask up or be isolated, and volunteers and parents will be allowed into buildings at the discretion of the principal.

"We aren't contact tracing, we don't care as long as you don't have symptoms and we need volunteers to come to the schools to ensure that those kids are in the loving plaguepits goddammit"
