Nope! Two months in and even Good State Illinois is just starting a contact tracing pilot program with two counties, neither of them Cook

State budgets probably hosed this over more than anything else because they just can't hire like the feds can, and the feds didn't care

Weird, it's almost as if states were not, and could never ever be capable of responding to a pandemic on their own. It's almost as if there should be some sort of confederation of states bound into a federal system meant to respond to such a massive overarching problem.

Letting trump get away with labelling covid as a state problem and trundling off to watch tv is one of the biggest failures of this pandemic. How the gently caress do you let someone so loving stupid completely shape the narrative like that?

it's almost like nursing homes aren't the only places people are at risk, it's just where people are at the most risk. a large outbreak will kill people everywhere.

its also funny how these ghouls will protest the governmental regulations and labor protections that would prevent the vast majority of those nursing home deaths

+20k USA, 1500 deaths, pretty normal

But BRASIL and RUSSIA are sky loving rocketing up the rankings. Russia (+9250 cases) claimed #2 several days ago, Brazil surpassed the UK and has :siren: 16,500 new cases!!! :siren: today!

India, Peru, Chile, Mexico all gaining hard too

It is also a TUESDAY, typically one of the slowest days of the week for Covid Number. There never was a first peak. We're still in the loving ascent *to* the first peak!

Researchers are finding evidence that patients who test positive for the coronavirus after recovering aren’t capable of transmitting the infection, and could have the antibodies that prevent them from falling sick again.

Scientists from the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied 285 Covid-19 survivors who had tested positive for the coronavirus after their illness had apparently resolved, as indicated by a previous negative test result. The so-called re-positive patients weren’t found to have spread any lingering infection, and virus samples collected from them couldn’t be grown in culture, indicating the patients were shedding non-infectious or dead virus particles.

Churches that reopened are closing again as the virus spreads.
Source: The New York Times

After briefly reopening for in-person worship services, a few churches have had to close again as the virus spread in their pews.

Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Houston closed after five leaders tested positive last weekend, following the death of one priest, Rev. Donnell Kirchner, who had been diagnosed with pneumonia. His immediate cause of death was unknown.

The church had reopened for limited Mass on May 2, and two of the priests who tested positive had been active in celebrations. The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston recommended that people who attended get tested.

In Ringgold, Ga., Catoosa Baptist Tabernacle started in-person services again in late April but stopped on May 11 after learning that members of several families had contracted the virus. Local health officials have been investigating three cases connected to the church. Services are currently closed indefinitely.

Churches were temporarily undecided about whether they wanted their partitioners to die, but then made a tentative decision against it.

Edit: today marks the third straight week of no confirmed new cases in this prefecture, but they're still being selective about who gets tested so who knows. I'm on the subway now and there's a few people here and there without masks but most people are still keeping precautions as much as they can.

Fatalistic acceptance. It's the same mentality in health care as the general public, as far as being in an area not utterly ravaged by the roni. Most of the staff are excited to OPENERUP as we started doing electives this week. Going back to 'normal'. Might as well dehumanize and face to bloodshed at this point. Can't stop all the loving morons from superspreading and those in power have a vested interest in encouraging them.

Roni is just an incredibly unsexy disease. In a simplistic generalizarion, it's just viral pneumonia ARDS. poo poo you see every day in the hospital. Mostly just supportive care as you wait for the patient to either fight it off or die to it on their own over weeks.
