What a champion, and I hope everyone has a mild time. I just kept going back to the article because of the outstanding masks are bad and make me feel bad.

Just kylo ren screaming dumb it down) the question asked by that paper around accountability for misinformation is interesting, it does have real costs - but like I don't have a great counter to "the abiters of truth would suck" - so my cynicism kicks in an declares that it'd be the Delta CEO again.

I grew up on White Coat Black Art on the CBC. Given how resistant they were to taking accident protocols from the air industry, I'm not surprised they can be stuck in whatever they get caught on.

With almost 10k cases registered by the CDC in the US alone, MIS-C and the longer term effects on children has been an ongoing concern. Besides the acute effects (which can be extremely dire), here are some results for the longer term effects. Keep in mind that the study is small (though ~0.6% of total cases) and that - by definition - these have all been hospitalized:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2807432 posted:Neurological and Psychological Sequelae Associated With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Short article on the matter can be found here: https://answers.childrenshospital.org/mis-c-mental-neurologic-health/ posted:MIS-C’s long-term effects on mental and neurologic health Pingui has issued a correction as of 02:07 on Aug 16, 2023 |

Troutful posted:what ways are those? the main ones that aren't source data related are: 1) the switch from red for the high end to pastel orange a while back 2) the extremely low cap, there's a big difference between +20% and +40% and higher and everything is clipped at >=20% increase 3) a 20% band is "stable" but then just one medium 10% range and above that is high like their switch from community spread to community levels it's designed to minimize all the data, whatever data there actually is

However, shortness of breath, a loss of smell and a fever are no longer the main symptoms." quote:Fever is no longer the main symptom.. quote:10 symptoms of Eris strain https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ten-symptoms-new-rising-covid-30643261 https://nitter.net/Yash25571056/status/1688356021964820481 quote:My advice on keeping children home from school now is similar to what was in place pre-pandemic. It is not practical for working parents to keep children home from school for every runny nose, nor is it in the best interest of children to continue to miss school after pandemic school closures. If your child has a mild runny nose or cold symptoms that are not bothering them, and they test negative for COVID-19, send them to school. Your child can wear a mask at school when they have these mild symptoms. https://westsidetoday.com/2023/08/15/lausd-chief-medical-director-and-superintendent-recommend-sending-mildly-sick-students-to-class/ quote:The superintendent also noted a financial impact. If the current 90% daily attendance rate rose to 95% — which it was pre-pandemic — the result, he said, would be $300 million more in state funding, which is largely based on attendance. quote:The immediate reaction from parents and employees was varied. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-08-12/got-a-cold-runny-nose-the-sniffles-no-worries-come-to-school-lausd-says

RandomBlue posted:like their switch from community spread to community levels it's designed to minimize all the data, whatever data there actually is The community level metric is a truly brilliant master class in lying with statistics, like three levels deep on the bullshitting: 1) quietly make a trailing metric the main driver of the "low/medium/high" classification, relegating the leading indicator metric that everyone was using up to that point into a secondary input. 2) make it impossible for the leading indicator alone to raise the aggregate warning level above "medium" to ensure the you never accidentally put yourself in the position of first raising the threshold for the warning levels and then have a new variant totally blow through them like what happened with Delta and the hot vax summer cluster gently caress when the CDC thought they had watered down the guidance enough and then got owned; won't make that mistake again 3) and of course you do change all the thresholds again so you won't even be near hinting that people might want to wear masks again if you have a surge as bad as the last one None of these are done with surveillance reporting on any other disease including flu ofc

Are there any good new data or studies out there regarding pediatric booster effectiveness? My kids are about a year out since their last shots and ~9 months since infection. With school starting up again next week I’m thinking it’s best to get them a booster now rather than wait for the updated monovalent next month.
