I worked in a preschool classroom briefly as part of an internship a couple of years ago, and the thought of even one of those kids dying from this chills me to my core. "Only" 2-3% what the gently caress

One kid dies, it’s a tragedy. 2-3% (95% confidence interval) is a statistic.

Isn't one of the predictors of outcome the initial viral load? I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure the initial viral load you'd find in a classroom would be loving catastrophic real fast.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's even more messed up than that. Total enrollment of k-12 students is about 55 million. If we assumed that opening schools cost even an extra .01% of just school kids we'd have more deaths than US Combat deaths in Afghanistan.

those deaths didn't count, either

3-4% difference between no school and school. So if 100,000 deaths are predicted with schools open, 96,000 deaths would be with schools closed, to use simple numbers.

The death rate for kids is basically (maybe even actually) nil so when they say 2-3% they’re talking about the overall death rate for the population who would presumably become infected once kids become carriers and spread the virus to the vulnerable.

Still ghoulish but not anything different from what those freaks have been calling for since lockdowns started.

Ya, but you cant "well from their perspective" this poo poo because it gives it credibility. Take a hard stance of "that poo poo is ghoulish", that way people might be on the fence about opening the country get that it's not ok.

It's looking more and more like obesity is the main risk factor if you're otherwise healthy and surprisingly it turns out asthma doesn't matter.


nyt posted:

Early research on underlying health conditions associated with the virus has highlighted that obesity appears to be one of the most important predictors of severe cases of the coronavirus illness, but asthma does not.

New studies point to obesity as the most significant risk factor, after only older age, for patients being hospitalized with Covid-19, the illness caused by the virus. Some 42 percent of American adults — nearly 80 million people — live with obesity. Young adults with obesity appear to be at particular risk, studies show.

The research is preliminary, and not peer reviewed, but it buttresses anecdotal reports from doctors who say they have been struck by how many seriously ill younger patients of theirs with obesity are otherwise healthy.

For people with asthma, the outbreak of a disease that can lead to respiratory failure was particularly worrisome. Many health organizations have cautioned that asthmatics are most likely at higher risk for severe illness if they get the virus.

But data released this month by New York State shows that, only about five percent of Covid-19 deaths in New York were of people who were known to also have asthma, a relatively modest amount. Nearly eight percent of the U.S. population — close to 25 million people — has asthma, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The research into the affects of asthma at this early stage is minimal and not always consistent. A recent commentary published in Lancet by a group of European researchers called it “striking” that asthma appeared to be underrepresented as a secondary health problem associated with Covid-19, and anecdotal evidence supports that observation.

“We’re not seeing a lot of patients with asthma,” said Dr. Bushra Mina, a pulmonary and critical care physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, which has treated more than 800 Covid cases. The more common risk factors, he added, are “morbid obesity, diabetes and chronic heart disease.”

USAA has reversed course, is no longer applying any stimulus towards debts, and is sending money to those already affected by the now canceled policy.

I probably would have switched by now if NFCU had as nice of an app and web interface as USAA does. That and USAA also offers a lot of "one stop shop" services in one platform that NFCU does not, which is nice at times.

Although with them recently selling the trading and investment platforms to third parties, it's a reminder that while they are good for some things, USAA really is just a traditional bank with a corporate profit motive vs. a credit union.
