I've generally been refraining from discussing my medical stuff since that seems to be an attractive nuisance for the thread, but yes the amount of student sick absence being discussed is absolutely novel and unusual compared to the historical norm. I was considered a chronic problem student for attendance throughout my schooling because I'd miss a week or two every semester from being sick all the loving time, and that's even with the schools doing poo poo like administering hearing tests to confirm that yes, in fact, my destroyed eardrum still doesn't function, or requiring me to get a doctor to sign off on a piece of paper to attest every time some poo poo like 'this child with a 104 degree fever shouldn't be in a classroom'. Some quick googling brings up articles suggesting that student absenteeism has roughly doubled, by some metrics? Like it's pretty loving clear that kids are getting more sick more frequently now, and our sarcastic irony-poisoned posting aside, I'm pretty loving certain it wasn't all the fault of a couple months of remote schooling three loving years ago. I don't know where to even begin in my condolences to parents and children now, when I had to grow up constantly being called lots of 'fun' ableist slurs and now everyone's just full face-tanking a disease that hits harder and more often than any of the crap that disabled me. I guess for now we, what, just hope the resilience of children's cardiovascular and immune systems is up to the task? Because otherwise it's pretty hard to think about what years of disabling disease in a hyper-normalized hellscape is going to look like in the near future, especially when people are already ignoring the millions of disabled and deceased already. ...not that any of the thread-suggested literature on previous pandemics has been encouraging, in that regard. fosborb posted:kid's annual check up was today. he got 4 shots but not covid, because they don't have any doses. so back to school with the immune response learned from last November's infection I am so sorry, and best of luck to you and yours. Can't fault you getting excited for some sliver of good-ish news in all this.

word in the media right now is that years of lockdowns caused kids to stop caring about going to school. now, they either sit in their rooms on their phones or roam the streets searching for retailers to loot.

Totally easy to do that when both kids and staff are sick so often.

Washington State's Respiratory Illness Dashboard. Weekly update on recent emergency room (ER) visits, new hospitalizations, total inpatients, deaths, and confirmed positives highlighting changes due to backfill. These are cobbled together from reports published by Washington's Healthcare, Emergency, and Logistics Tracking Hub (WA HEALTH), Washington Disease Reporting System (WDRS), Washington Health and Life Event System (WHALES) which can all be downloaded from the dashboard linked above. Additional information was gathered from CDC's Weekly Trends and HHS' Hospital Capacity by State and Hospital Capacity by Facility reports. All of these reports use the standardized Sunday-Saturday week definition. This is my second week reporting with the new setup so bear with me as I get the kinks sorted out. Emergency visits with confirmed COVID-19 in Washington state facilities applying the state's weekly ratio of Emergency Visits due to COVID-19 and HHS' total ED visits due to all causes. Because the HHS' ED visits update the Monday after the state's Wednesday report, the most recent week shown is an estimate based on the average of the past three weeks of HHS' total visits combined with the state's most recently published ratio for that week.  pre:ED Visits Changes in Recent Counts: 7-Day week of: 4wk ago 3wk ago 2wk ago 1wk ago This week Total: Sep 17 - - - - + 1,361 1,361 Sep 10 - - - 1,420 + 199 1,619 Sep 03 - - 1,362 66 - 1,428 Aug 27 - - 1,205 58 - 1,263 Aug 20 - - 1,150 - - 1,150 All Older - - 22,970 474 - New hospital admissions in Washington state facilities with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 as reported by the state and HHS. The report I pull this from updates the Friday after the state's Wednesday update so the most recent week shown is averaged from the past three weeks of published data and should be considered with a grain of salt. Second most recent week of data is the actual count as reported last Friday.  pre:Hosp. Admissions Changes in Recent Counts: 7-Day week of: 4wk ago 3wk ago 2wk ago 1wk ago This week Total: Sep 17 - - - - + 326 326 Sep 10 - - - 302 + 60 362 Sep 03 - - - 324 - 324 Aug 27 - - 290 1 - 291 Aug 20 - - 283 7 - 290 All Older - - 8,411 221 -  pre:Beds in Use Changes in Recent Counts: 7-Day week of: 4wk ago 3wk ago 2wk ago 1wk ago This week Total: Sep 17 - - - - + 2,450 2,450 Sep 10 - - - 2,268 - 2,268 Sep 03 - - 2,401 -15 + 15 2,401 Aug 27 - - 2,163 3 - 3 2,163 Aug 20 - - 1,806 2 - 2 1,806 All Older - - 66,864 17 - 17  pre:Deaths Changes in Recent Counts: 7-Day week of: 4wk ago 3wk ago 2wk ago 1wk ago This week Total: Sep 17 - - - - - - Sep 10 - - - - + 10 10 Sep 03 - - - 11 + 19 30 Aug 27 - - 17 16 - 33 Aug 20 - - 18 1 - 19 All Older - - 981 4 - Positive clinical cases (tests administered at CLIA certified or CLIA waived labs) as reported by healthcare facility.

Is this covid? No idea. I have no reason to ask and only a few people have shared that.

Got Pfizer’d in one arm and flu’d in the other. I was surrounded by my fellow Doomers - senior citizens in masks. One granny got those two plus the RSV shot. The will to live amongst the elderly around here is strong! I have 10 days until a work trip, so not optimal, but at least I could get it. I’ve yet to get the ‘vid but it’s only a matter of time before my son gets us Nature’s vaccine from school. Basically just hoping when he gets it that either my wife or I are spared. My brother, who has a similar health & lifestyle profile as me, got loving rocked a couple weeks ago. Talking about 2021 reminds me when I had to visit a military base for work, to demo some products. Before the Col. or whoever invites into his office he goes “You guys aren’t one of those freaks who refused the vaccine, are ya?” If only that lasted. Truly for like 3 months, before he waning was becoming super real, we had 90%+ immunity to infection….god dammit Crazyweasel has issued a correction as of 22:11 on Sep 27, 2023 |

Whatever weight it might actually have, been seeing Tiktoks working off at least one or two from teachers and parents about children having learning loss issues and it kind of makes me uneasy insofar I think it's putting the blame on the time kids spent out of school in "lockdowns". The other thing that makes me uneasy and I hope I'm wrong about is the feeling that possible neuro effects are widespread enough in children that it's actually noticeable to a severe degree.
